Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 81

The whole bathroom was filled with steam. Through its blurry glass door, one could see a woman leaned her tender body against the back of a man.

"I'll always be by your side, but now it's different. Pearl came back. Richard, I'm really afraid."

Her sobbing voice was mixed with the sound of running water.

Adriana had always know how to be a weak woman in front of Richard. 

It was easier for woman being weak to gain a man's pity, especially when she told him that she could not live without him. 

Almost all men would lose their minds in such situation. 

The sound of running water inside the bathroom stopped abruptly as Richard turned off the shower.

"Is this the reason why you tried to chase her out of Kityall?"

His voice carried a emotionless, deep, and shuddering tone.

"What?" Adriana asked in shock. 

"Didn't you threaten Mr. Watson to extend Pearl's work suspension?"

Richard's voice echoed in the spacious bathroom. His question sounded more like a verdict. 

"Richard, I didn't..."

Before Adriana could finish her words, her hands were pulled back. The force pushed her back by two steps.

Richard wrapped his bath towel around his body and coldly said: "Put on your clothes. Let's talk outside."

Adriana's face darkened from humiliation as she watched Richard leaving the bathroom mercilessly. Her heart was now burning with hatred and jealousy towards Pearl.

Richard would never treat her so indifferently if it wasn't for Pearl. 

The night deepened as dark clouds covered the moon, blocking all traces of light from it. 

Adriana had taken off her clothes before she entered the bathroom. By the time she came out, a bath towel was wrapped around her. To her dismay, Richard wasn't in his room. A gust from the open balcony blew against her. Then she saw him smoking in the balcony. What was he thinking about? She probably would never find out.

Adriana found her clothes put on the sofa. She hesitated, but in the end, she still picked them up and get dressed. 

She had been aware that Richard was never patient, especially if he had to deal with women. If it was not for her sensibility, she would not have become his fiancee, regardless of how hard she'd tried.

The wind was unforgiving at the balcony as it constantly blew at the lit cigarette held by Richard. 

"Richard," Adriana said nervously. 

Richard gave her a sidelong glance. Seeing her already get dressed, his expression softened a little. "I'll let the driver send you home."

Adriana lowered her head, looking uneasy. "Yes, I admit it. I indeed doesn't want her to stay in Kityall City."

Hearing this, Richard frowned.

In his mind, Richard knew Adriana had all the rights to do such a thing. He hated it when his woman interfered with his personal affairs, but he understood why she did this.
