Elly suddenly called out to him in such a delicate manner, Adam’s heart clenched once more, and his heartbeat began to uncontrollably accelerate – Elly had never called him like that before.
Adam felt his throat dry up, his body becoming increasingly hot from her soft and gentle voice, and his already restless heart began to stir with indescribable emotion.
Elly kept staring at his face, just like a little wolf eyeing a large white rabbit, and he saw Elly purse her lips in front of him.
This seductive gesture made Adam feel even hotter.
He knew that if the woman in his arms continued to tempt him in this manner, he would inevitably do something uncontrollable.
Especially since her cheeks were so flushed, and the way she squinted her eyes at him, she was simply challenging his humanity and patience.
All of a sudden, Elly reached out and gently touched his face, causing Adam’s entire body to stiffen. He quickly grabbed her hand, "Elly, stop it."
His voice grew even huskier, even trembling slightly, as some thoughts began to spiral out of control.
But Elly seemed oblivious, staring intently at him. The next second, her body pressed closer to his, and she called out again in a soft voice, "Brother."
Was this damned siren intent on making things difficult for him?
"You’re really handsome."
Elly tilted her head up, moving a little closer to him. Her soft lips pressed against his chin, and every time she spoke, they grazed his chin, stirring all his nerves with her words and the motion.
He looked at Elly, swallowing subconsciously, his pupils darkening, "Do I really look that good?"
His voice, now with an even more noticeable quiver.
"Mhmm, very handsome," she affirmed with a serious nod. Before Adam could brace himself, she suddenly pressed a firm kiss to his lips.
This siren, she really did want his life.
His hand clasped her head, his deep pupils flashing a warning, "Elly, if you keep this up, I’ll take advantage of the situation."
However, it seemed Elly didn’t mind his warning, or rather, she didn’t seem to take his words to heart at all. She continued to gaze at his face, saying:
The hand that Adam was holding managed to pull away forcefully, followed by her climbing onto his lap and wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.
At this moment, Elly had no idea that her question, "Will you marry me?" had left Adam completely stunned, so much so that even with her in such a suggestive position on his lap, he had no reaction.
Seeing him silent, a trace of sadness appeared on Elly’s delicate face. The next second, she spoke again with a troubled voice, "It’s okay if you won’t marry me, then let me marry you."
Her eyes were bright and glassy, and it was clear that the completely intoxicated Elly was lost in the memories of their first encounter.
At that moment, she had wanted so strongly to marry him.
He looked into Elly’s eyes, saw her hopeful brows, and his heart ached terribly. The words that reached his lips simply couldn’t make their way out.
