Rise of the Malactric Heir-Chapter 435 Other Than Accept

Adora glanced at Alix as his feet was in the water and the flowers in the water shimmered under the moonlight and she sighed before lowering her head and she was about to step forward but held back.

'Damn it... I can't let myself even....' she thought when Alix sensed someone behind him and he turned and saw her standing by the door.

"Adora," he called out and she flinched then looked at him and he smiled a little.

"You are awake," he said and she sighed then stepped forward and approached him.

"Yeah, I woke up a few minutes ago," she replied as she looked at him and he glanced at her.

"You can sit if you want, it's fine," he said and she smiled at him then sat down beside him and was about to push her feet in the water but then he grabbed onto her feet and she looked at him.

"You will get your pajama wet," he said and her cheeks flushed as she stared at his face, while he pulled her pants up since it was long and the water would have soaked them.

"Ah, thank you, Alix," she replied and he looked at her and his eyes widened as little as he stared at her face then she flinched before turning away from him as his hand passed on her feet and she lowered her head.

"Adora," he said as he peeked at her and she lowered her head.

Her hair fell before her face and after he finished folding up her pants, he took his hand off of her and she placed her feet in the water then he sighed as he looked at the water.

"Thank you, Alix," she said and he smiled at her. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"There is no need to thank me but you are welcome," he replied and she sighed then looked at the water while slowly moving her feet back and forth in it.

'I don't want to talk about any of it right now, but I have to ask...' she thought.

"Alix," Adora said as she looked at him then he glanced at her.

"What is it?" he asked.

"How are you holding up?" she asked and he left staring at her then he sighed.

"I am doing fine," he responded and her brows furrowed.

"Are you being honest right now, Alix?" she asked and he scoffed.

"Yeah, I am telling the truth, to be honest, deep down I had a feeling that parts of me were missing, maybe some part still is, I am not sure about that, but, now I know what I need to do and with everything that's happened so far in my life..." he responded as she stared at him then swallowed when she saw the piercing look in his eyes as he stared down at the water and his eyes shimmered.

"I can't do anything other than accept what has happened, I can't change the past but with the present, now nothing is the same," he added and Adora swallowed and she lowered her head and her hair fell before her face then he looked at her.

"Hey," he said as he placed his hand under her chin and she gritted her teeth then he turned her face towards him and he sighed.

"There is no need to worry Adora, it's like I said before I am totally fine," he said as he moved her hair from in front of her face and placed it behind her ear and she looked at him then he smiled and her eyes narrowed as she clenched her right fist.

'I don't whether I should believe that or not, Alix,' she thought and her cheeks flushed when she noticed how close he was to her and a smirk appeared on his face.

"Your cheeks are red," he said and her eyes shimmered as he got closer to her and placed the palm of his hand against her face and he smiled at her.

"Are you nervous?" he asked and she looked away from him then he chuckled as he leaned in closer and she closed her eyes as he kissed her and his eyes narrowed as their lips locked and she held onto his arm then he closed his eyes.

'She is warm,' Alix thought as he raised off of her and she exhaled deeply with her cheeks flushed and he smiled as he looked at her.

"Adora, are you okay?" he asked and she looked at him then nodded.

"You look cute," he said and she braced her head against his shoulder and he chuckled as he passed his fingers through her hair.

"Thank you, I guess," she replied and he smiled.

"You are welcome, well, it's very late, do you want to go to bed now?" he asked and she nodded then raised off of him and he smiled as both of them stood up and she shook off the water off of her feet and both of them went back inside of the room.

Alix locked the door behind him then closed the curtains and Adora wiped the water off of her feet then threw the towel at him and he did the same.

"Well, I am going back to sleep," Adora said as she got into bed, as did Alix.

She looked at him as he covered himself with the same blanket as hers and a smile appeared on her face and he glanced at her.

"I don't mind if you want to hug and sleep, you know," he said and her cheeks flushed as she stared at him and he grinned at her then she swallowed.

"You..." she mumbled as she hugged him and buried her face in his chest and his eyes widened as he looked at her then a smile appeared on his face and he hugged her back.

"Good night, Adora, sweet dreams," he said and she looked up at him as his arms grasped her tightly and his eyes were closed then she sighed before closing her eyes with her face against his chest.

'Things will be different huh? In what way? I wonder what will happen? I still have more to tell as well, whatever,' She thought as both of them fell asleep while hugging each other.
