Chapter 578

The girl sneezed softly, subconsciously pushed aside the hair covering her nose, and then slightly opened her eyes. The sun shone in from the balcony, the breeze gently blew the curtains, and there seemed to be birds chirping. It was a beautiful morning. She yawned and scratched her hair. Just as she was about to change her position and continue to sleep for a while, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

What was wrong? It was morning. She was holding the quilt in her arms, and she wasn't wearing any clothes. Then, she woke up in Eide's room … naked?! Woke up in Eide's room?! Charlize's eyes suddenly widened, and she turned over and threw off the quilt, trying to sit up. Unfortunately, she fell back onto the bed halfway through the action. The pain coming from below made her almost unable to move. However, this pain was equivalent to confirming her guess.

"Damn it!" Charlize cursed in a low voice, and her face became ugly.

"Ah, you're awake, Charley. Good morning." Adriaan's voice came from the door, and Charlize immediately turned her head to look. He was wearing pajamas, holding a plate with some snacks and two cups of coffee.

"Do you want some breakfast?" He walked over with a smile, and put the plate on the bedside table.

"It seems …" Charlize looked at Adriaan with a sneer, "My current job is to sort out documents, arrange my schedule, contact others, and accompany you to the amusement park. Now, I have to go to bed with you, right?"

"You really hurt my heart, Charley." Adriaan sighed, then stretched out his finger to his temple and rubbed it, "Think back, remember what you did after smoking marijuana. I think that level of marijuana is not enough to make you forget everything."

Charlize was stunned, and then scratched her hair, half-believing and half-doubting. Just a few minutes later, her expression became strange. She looked at Adriaan guiltily and awkwardly, and then turned her head, as if she didn't know how to face him. Adriaan sat down next to the bed, calmly drinking coffee.

After a long while, Charlize finally closed her eyes and turned her head. She clenched her fists to calm herself down, and then opened her eyes again, "Well, it seems that I asked for it, but … ah …"

Just as she was about to sit up, the pain made her fall back down again. Fortunately, Adriaan had put down the coffee cup and stepped forward to support her in time. Not only did he gently help her lean against the headboard, but he also thoughtfully pulled up the thin quilt to cover her chest.

"Sorry, I didn't want you to be so painful, but …" Adriaan sighed and sat back. "I never thought that you would become so … wild and reckless. Frankly speaking, if this is caused by marijuana, then you'd better not smoke it in the future. "

Charlize looked at him with a complicated expression and didn't continue the original topic. Adriaan shrugged and then went on to say, "Last night, you said a lot, and let me further understand the girl next to me. I understand how all kinds of things have affected and troubled her."

"No, no, no, Eide." Charlize covered her forehead, shook her head, and sighed, "You don't really understand. You were born in a rich family, have parents who love you, and have received a good education. You don't lack anything, and you can do whatever you want. Although you have experienced some setbacks and hardships, it doesn't mean … Let me put it this way, Eide, there are many things you haven't experienced. If you haven't experienced it, you won't really understand how others feel. For example, if you can't pay the rent tomorrow, you will be kicked out by the landlord, or trying to earn more money every day to make a living."

"Really?" Adriaan said calmly, "Do you really think so, Charley?"

"Isn't it?" Charlize looked up, and her beautiful gray-green eyes stared at him without blinking.

"Well, then let me ask you, Charley, have you ever felt like this?" Adriaan looked at her and said seriously, "In the shop window, there is something that you like and want for a long time. It's not expensive, and it's very cheap. You have saved for a long time, and one day, you can finally buy it. But at this time, an accident happened, and even if I invested all my money, it would not be enough … When you stand in front of the display window, looking at the things that are easily within your reach, but you have no choice but to use your greatest strength to urge yourself to leave this place and never come back, that feeling of resentment and unwillingness is like countless claws scratching your heart. "

Charlize looked at Adriaan with some surprise. Although he had been looking at her, he seemed to be in a trance, as if he was immersed in his memories. His dark eyes were unfathomable, like a deep pool that one might not be able to climb out of if they fell into it.

After a few seconds of silence, Adriaan spoke again, "So, when God chose me, I told myself that as long as it is what I want, I must get it!"

He reached out and gently stroked the girl's beautiful face, "I'm sorry that I have become a cause of trouble for you, but I want to say that you are very charming. Confident, proud — or perhaps a little self-abased — unwilling to admit defeat, very smart, and very attractive. "

"You have said this to a lot of women, right?" Charlize lowered his head and subconsciously pressed his chest, trying to change the topic to calm his violent heartbeat.

"Yes, but not many." Adriaan did not deny it, "I only praise those beautiful women who are really worthy of praise. Mediocre women have the same mediocrity, and beautiful women have different kinds of beauty. "

Charlize raised his head again, looked at him with a complicated expression, and then laughed self-deprecatingly, "One of my teachers, Ms. Pullman, taught me something in private, how to deal with men and protect myself. You know, as an assistant, I have to deal with a lot of people, and sometimes I have to deal with my boss … "

Speaking of this, she made a gesture and did not continue, with a slightly bitter smile on her beautiful face. Adriaan showed a look of sudden realization, and then shook his head with a smile.

"No wonder you can always … So, should I feel proud?" he asked deliberately with a smile.

Charlize glared at him fiercely, and after a long while, she said softly as if to comfort herself, "I rarely date others, and for a long time, I didn't even want to deal with men, so I haven't even had a boyfriend."

After saying this, the way Adriaan looked at her suddenly changed, with more pity and love than before.

"Because of your father, right?" he asked softly after a long while.

"You investigated me?!" Charlize suddenly turned her head, and her face became extremely ugly. The most hidden wound in her heart was suddenly opened, and the burning feeling of being placed under the sun made her tremble all over.

"Yes." Adriaan looked at her calmly, "I need a person by my side who I can completely trust, because I have a lot of problems that need to go through her hands, so I must know everything about her."

Speaking of this, he sighed softly, sat on the edge of the bed, put his hand around Charlize's shoulder, and held her in his arms, "I'm very sorry, Charley. I'm very sad about what happened to your family."

Charlize, who didn't resist at first, suddenly struggled. Without saying a word, he waved his fists and punched Adrian repeatedly. Not only that, but he also twisted his body to get out of Adrian's arms, ignoring the sharp pain in his lower body. Even when the quilt fell down and her breasts were exposed, he couldn't stop her.

"It's okay, it's okay, no one can hurt you, Charley, no one." Adriaan did not let go, just hugged the girl tightly, and kept comforting her, even if there was a sharp pain coming from his arm.

After a long time, Charlize, who had exhausted her strength, finally stopped, lying in Adriaan's arms, gasping for breath. Adriaan let out a long breath and held the girl's face in his arms. Until this time, she was still biting her lip and did not say a word, but crystal tears flowed from her beautiful eyes from time to time.

Adriaan stuck out his tongue and gently licked the few tears, then lowered his head to kiss her delicate lips. After a few rhythmic sucking and teasing, he finally opened his tightly clenched teeth. After that, he restrained his movements and skillfully guided Charlize, lingering for a while before separating.

Charlize still did not speak, just staring at Adriaan. She had already controlled her emotions, but the sadness and pain in her grey-green eyes could not be erased for a while.

"Okay, have a good rest in bed for a day, I guess you can't get out of bed today." Adriaan patted her face and said, helping her lean against the headboard again, and after covering her with the quilt, he brought the plate on the bedside table to her, "Eat something, I believe you should be hungry."

Charlize silently drank coffee and ate snacks, until she swallowed a small piece of bread, she realized that the plate was in Adriaan's hands, and suddenly looked at the man sitting beside her with a smile, a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I can do anything for you today." Adriaan shrugged, "Anyway, it's the weekend, there's nothing important to deal with, if you need, just let me know."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, reached out for the small box on the bedside table, and handed it to the girl, "By the way, this is a gift for you last night, no matter what, I hope you can accept it."

Charlize took it with both hands, held it in her hands for a while, but did not open it, a complicated look in her eyes, then she looked up at Adriaan, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "Can you really do anything for me?"

"Of course."

"Singing and dancing to make me happy, cooking and cleaning to serve me, are these all okay?"

"Well … singing is no problem, cleaning is no problem, but dancing is terrible, and I only know how to cook a few dishes, maybe not to your taste …"

"It's okay, it's a deal."
