Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 9



When Belle stepped into the master bedroom, the environment suffocated her a little.

The decoration of Adam’s room was depressing.

The walls were snow–white with no decorations whatsoever. The curtains were black, and the carpet was gray, creating a dark and gloomy atmosphere that seemed to swallow Belle whole.

“Go and lie down on the bed,” Adam suddenly said.

Belle’s heart skipped a beat, and the suffocating feeling disappeared immediately.

She turned to look at Adam and stammered, “So… so soon?”

Now that Belle had decided to marry Adam, she was willing to do everything a wife should do.

However, it was all happening too quickly, and she wasn’t prepared for it yet.

Adam gave Belle a puzzled look and asked, “Is there a problem?”

“N–No… not at all.”

Belle walked hesitantly towards the bed, stealing a glance at Adam.

However, Adam remained where he was.

Belle began to panic.

“Do I have to take the initiative?” she wondered.

Belle couldn’t help but feel conflicted.

Leaning against the door, Adam observed Belle’s changing expressions with interest. “How does this woman have so many expressions?” he thought.

Belle took a deep breath as if she had finally made up her mind.

She walked over to Adam and then reached out to unbutton his shirt without hesitation.

Adam was taken aback and grabbed her hands immediately.

“What do

you

think you’re doing?” he asked.

Belle looked up at him and put on a determined expression. “I’m helping you undress so that we

can rest sooner.”

She tried to appear calm, but she couldn’t help but blush a little.

Suddenly, it clicked for Adam.

He found it both funny and ridiculous.

what is she thinking?” he wondered.

He held Belle’s chin and said, “I thought you married me against your will.”

“And why are you being so proactive now?” he mused inwardly.

Belle was stunned, feeling nervous.

Adam had always been said to be a moody man.

Although he had been somewhat considerate towards her before, she didn’t know what he would do if she said something she shouldn’t have.

“Lying to Adam can have disastrous consequences.” Belle thought it over and decided that honesty was the best approach. She pondered for a moment and said honestly, “At first, I really didn’t want to marry you. But now I’ve changed my mind.”

“Is that so?” Adam’s lips curved a little as his gaze turned ice–cold.

He didn’t believe her answer.

Belle continued, “I have come to believe that you are not the violent person that others say you are. Also, marrying you is my only way

out.

Adam was momentarily stunned by her response. It was an unexpectedly realistic answer.

Adam had thought that she would say she admired him or something, but she didn’t.

Nonetheless, Belle had no intention of elaborating any further. She simply raised her head and looked at Adam directly in his eyes. “I understand that we are practically strangers, and it’s natural for you to not trust me. However, please believe that I am wholeheartedly devoted to making our marriage

successful. Now that I have become your wife, as long as you’re willing, I’ll remain your wife for the rest of our lives.”

The soft lighting did nothing to improve Adam’s face. Instead, it accentuated the terrifying scars, making him even less pleasant to look at.

No one would want to look at such a face.

However, Belle kept her gaze fixed on Adam.

It was highly likely that she would spend a long time with this man, so she had to get used to his face as soon as possible..

At that moment, Belle felt a little nervous.

She didn’t know if her vague explanation would satisfy Adam.

Adam glanced at Belle and smiled slowly. “For the rest of our lives?”

“As long as you’re willing.” Belle nodded earnestly.

She couldn’t force herself to like Adam at the moment, but that didn’t stop her from making a

commitment.

This union had been initiated by Yana’s deliberate efforts to capture the Landor family’s attention. Despite Belle being compelled to marry Adam instead of Yana, she recognized her duty as a wife and willingly embraced the responsibility that came with the marriage.

Everyone said that she owed Yana a healthy body.

Therefore, marrying Adam and accompanying him for a lifetime was her way of repaying that debt!

However, life was lengthy, and Belle didn’t want to live in constant animosity with Adam. She wanted to make an effort to bring happiness into both their lives.

Love was not a factor in her mindset. Rather, she possessed a hopeful disposition towards life.

Belle’s words were resolute, and now Adam found it difficult to smile at her answer. He looked at Belle carefully.

He could see that Belle was still a little afraid of him, but she tried to look at him directly.

This woman… had surprised him once again.

Adam suppressed his strange emotions and replied lightly, “Alright, get some rest now.”

Belle blushed again and asked, “And what about you?”

Adam cast a sidelong glance at her and said, “Don’t be too eager. We’ve had a tiring day today, and I mean it when I say get some rest. Is that understood?”

Adam intentionally emphasized the word “literally“.

Belle’s face reddened even more as she stammered, “I… I understand…”

“Oh my god! This is so embarrassing. Adam didn’t mean that from the beginning, did he? I was so stupid,” she thought.

Belle felt too embarrassed to stand there. She turned around and was about to leave, but Adam suddenly grabbed her collar.

“What’s wrong?” Belle was Joo awkward to look at him.

Adam sighed. “There are so casual clothes in the closet. Remember to get changed.”

Belle nodded absentmindedly, and only then did Adam let go of her.

Belle opened the closet, which was divided into two sections, one for Adam’s clothes and one for

hers.

Most of Adam’s clothes were shirts and suits, and they were black, white, or gray. The clothes prepared for her, however, were much brighter. These clothes of different colors looked uniquely hangonious in the closet.

Belle hurriedly grabbed a set of casual and rushed to the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out in her new clothes, Adam had taken out his laptop and was working.

Belle hesitated for a moment. She did not go over. Instead, she did as she was told and tucked herself in.

Belle was so sleepy after a busy day, but she still did her best to wait for Adam.

However, the dim lighting made her drowsy. Watching him from behind, Belle gradually fell asleep.

When Adam closed the laptop and turned around, he saw that Belle had already fallen asleep.

He squinted his eyes and walked over slowly.

He looked at her quietly for a while and then reached out to pull the blanket for her.

As soon as he moved, Belle woke up..

Rubbing her eyes, she asked, “Have you finished working?”

“Yeah,” Adam replied.

“Are you tucking me in?” Belle looked at Adam’s hand holding the corner of the blanket and asked.

Adam hesitated and didn’t really want to admit what he was doing.

However, Belle already had a gentle smile on her face. “Thank you.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Her smile was so radiant as if he had done something very important.

Adam felt a little awkward and said, “Goodnight.”

Belle was exhausted. She said goodnight to Adam, rolled over and fell asleep again.

Adam stood at the head of the bed, looking at Belle with a strange look on his face.

He suddenly had a special feeling…

“Has Belle never been treated well back at home?” he wondered.

He didn’t consider himself a nice person, he was just doing what anyone else would do. However, Belle seemed grateful for some of the trivial things he did.

The Miller family was quite rich compared to the ordinary families.

Though Belle wasn’t as favored as Yana in the Miller family, he deemed she was at least loved.

Adam suddenly thought of what Belle said just now.

She said marrying him was her only way out.

“Why is marrying someone like me a way out for her? What kind of life did she live in the Miller family?” wondered Adam.

For the first time, Adam became interested in Belle’s past.

Adam never enjoyed compromising his own desires, so when he became intrigued, he permitted himself to indulge in it. Without hesitation, he made a phone call and commanded, “I want to know

everything about Belle. Have her file delivered to my desk tomorrow morning.

After hanging up, he looked at Belle, who was asleep, and chuckled softly.

Being with her forever?

He was looking forward to it.
