Chapter 479

As Natalia turned around, she found Adrian standing at the door.

She was on the verge of rushing toward him, but she immediately halted herself when she realized that if she moved more quickly, her feet might come into contact with the broken glasses.

"Adrian, where were you?" She asked, stepping in his direction slowly.

There was no response from Adrian. His eyes were fixed on her. Natalia came to a stop in front of him and looked into his eyes.

In his eyes, she noticed a blurriness that she found to be quite uncomfortable.

"What happened to you? Are you okay?" she asked with a worried tone.

"Why are you here?" he asked with a sharp tone.

She was taken aback. She frowned at him. "Adrian, what's wrong?"

She did not understand why he sounded so cold today. Because up until yesterday, he maintained his composure with her, always assuring her that he would make everything all right for her.

Her eyes shifted from his eyes to his forehead. That was the moment she was shocked.

"Y-Your wound!"

The wound in his head healed completely as if some miracle had happened to him. It was a burn scar; how could it be removed overnight?

She raised her hand and tried to touch his forehead.

But he grabbed her wrist. She hissed when she felt his grip was too harsh on her.

"A-Adrian."

"Why do you care? Not liking how it healed?" he muttered.

Natalia was startled. Why was he saying this? She was happy that it healed, but she was surprised to see it healed so soon.

She assumed he misunderstood her, so she said,

'I was only asking. It is good that it healed."

He stared at her, not letting go of her hand. She tried to pull her hand back. However, his grip became tighter.

The grip caused her to hiss again. She blinked her eyes, not understanding what was wrong with him.

She saw there were no emotions in his eyes. They turned clear as crystal glass.

*Adrian, you are hurting me.

He drew her toward him. She felt her body pressed against his.

Her brows arched when she could not feel his scent even after coming this close to him.

She raised her head to look at him.

"Your scent! Adrian, what happened to you?"noveldrama

He glared at her, digging his gaze on hers.

His tone was agitated as he muttered, "Didn't I warn you not to go near that door?"

The only feeling she could detect emanating from him was anger. Her eyes widened in shock.

"How do you know!"

She had not said that to anyone yet. How did he get to know? Did the maids see it and inform him about it? Did Hazel learn about it?

Adrian released his grip around her wrist and moved his hand to her jaw.

He grabbed her jaw and leaned in close. His head lowered to her level, and he uttered,

"You have broken a curse that was cast even before I was born. If it were so easy to break the door, wouldn't I be the one to do it?"
