Chapter 68: Room 701

Chapter 68: Room 701

Park Noah and Muell stayed in a luxurious hotel in Battuanu, which was fairly large for the two of them.

Ting. A small piece of iron bounced into the air and back to the man’s palm. Adrian confirmed the room number on the door. Room 701.

He had seen the red-eyed child leave the hotel on his own and thought it was a great opportunity to meet Park Noah without the boy’s interruption.

Adrian thrust the piece of iron into the keyhole and immediately, it changed its shape, molding into the pattern of the keyhole. He turned the key around and the door unlocked with a click.

He was greeted by a sight of a woman, sleeping deeply on her side.

You’ve been locked up in your room all day, so I was wondering what you were doing. You must have been sleeping until now.

Adrian approached the bedside and stayed, gazing at her face. She had a round forehead and drooped but long eyelashes, a raised nose and parted lips. Her porcelain neck and delicate shoulders were covered with her apricot waves. No matter which angle he looked, the woman looked exactly the same as his lover.

“It can’t be, Eleonora.” He smiled and sat across her, her face becoming completely apparent to his peering eyes.

“You can’t be the woman I remember…” Adrian caressed her cheek but flinched at the touch. It felt hot. I’ve been wondering why you haven’t been around all day. Did it hurt?

Since on the train to Battunanu, Park Noah didn’t look too well, but she seemed to be worse today. Adrian brushed his fingers against her cheeks softly.

Surprised by the sudden cold sensation on her skin, Park Noah’s brows furrowed. Adrian stopped his hand, also startled.

Slowly, Park Noah opened her eyes. It was as if a finely made wax figure came to life. Adrian stood frozen and breathless, his eyes full of admiration.

Upon seeing the man in front of her, Park Noah closed her eyes halfway and mumbled faintly, “What… When did you get here?”

Her low, hoarse voice left a mark in the man’s heart. Adrian had never heard his past lover call a man in such way.

“You came so late, butler…”

She fumbled for his hands with her eyes closed and placed it on her forehead, which was as hot as a ball of fire. Adrian removed his hand and tried to get up from his seat, a sigh escaping his lips.

“Oh, what the… Don’t rebel.” Park Noah complained, pulling his hand back.

“You are sweating. I’ll only get a towel-”

All of a sudden, Park Noah pulled his waist, forcing him beside her.

Where on earth does this sick woman get this strength? Yet the same feeling when she had called another man’s name drew a ripple in his heart again.

You seem to be mistaking me for another man, and I’m sure it’s him. He recalled a bit of information he had acquired: an investigator in charge of the unprecedented disappearance of dragon’s egg in the Laurent Imperial City. The face of the man with fierce eyes flashed across Adrian’s mind.

Apparently, Kyle Leonard was left with the responsibility of Eleonora Asil and had visited her current address. In addition, on the train from Lunazel to Central Edman, they were confronted by the assassins of Yulem. They had been together for at least ten days, Adrian thought bitterly.

“Hand.” Park Noah grabbed his arm and brushed it along the places where she felt hot — her forehead, then to the cheek, to the back of her ear, and lastly, her neck. Adrian found it a rather intimate touch. You became this close in just those ten days?

A glint of mischief twinkled in his green orbs for a brief moment.

Then, let’s see how close you are. 

Was Kyle Leonard merely a companion, or was he a lover?
