Domineering Lover novel Chapter 1184

Adrian didn't say anything, but he knew what Aleigha meant. He cupped Aleigha's face in his hands and stared at her with his deep eyes.

"Aleigha, what happened? You need to tell me what happened so that I could do more for you."

"No, I won't. I just want to know what Nolan did yesterday."

The firmness in Aleigha's eyes made it impossible for Adrian to ignore. He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll send someone to investigate right now. We'll find out as soon as possible tonight."

"I'll wait here."

Aleigha's mind was in a whirl, but her gut was telling her that Natasha's death had something to do with Nolan.

"Aleigha, I don't like you being like this. It makes me distressed. You can tell me anything and I'll be here for you to face it."

Aleigha shook her head and smiled bitterly. She wiped away her tears and said, "Adrian, don't ask anymore. I don't want to talk about it."

Adrian's eyes darkened and there was a flash of bitterness in his heart. Despite all his compromises, there was as thought still a gap between the two of them.

"Come here and sit." Adrian lifted her up, walked to the sofa, sat down, and placed her on his lap.

Aleigha neither struggled nor resisted. She sat on his legs very obediently. However, the emptiness in her eyes still made Adrian's heart feel slightly uncomfortable.

In front of her, Adrian made a few phone calls, and soon there would be a result.

Aleigha was a little tired, and she unconsciously fell asleep in Adrian's arms.

Adrian looked down at her and saw that she was frowning, even in her sleep. Her lips were tightly compressed and tears were still hanging on her face. He couldn't help but reach out to stroke her cheek.

Because of the tickling, Aleigha's curled eyelashes trembled slightly, appearing extremely impatient.

Afraid of waking her up, Adrian remained still in his sitting position.

Three hours later, when Aleigha woke up, she realized that she had fallen asleep in Adrian's arms.

"I, I'm sorry, I..." Aleigha was so scared that she wanted to get up, but Adrian hugged her tightly and refused to let go.

Adrian lowered his eyes to look at Aleigha. His gentle gaze made Aleigha lose her mind for a moment.

"It's okay, I like you sleeping in my arms like this." Adrian's low and deep voice was mixed with a hint of hoarseness. He looked at Aleigha with a gaze that seemed so gentle and serene it was as though a lake that had no wind brushing over it.

He was focused and confused.

Aleigha's face turned red, and she hurriedly looked away.

Adrian liked how cold and aloof she was always keeping her distance from almost everybody. However, he loved the bashfulness that she would occasionally display even more.

It took a long time to wait, but Aleigha didn't dare to throw a tantrum at this moment. After all, she was the one who took the initiative to come to Adrian.

At noon, the people sent out by Adrian sent back some feedback.

Aleigha was facing a table full of food and worrying. When she saw the cold expression on Adrian's face, she managed to guess what the feedback was about.

"He did it, didn't he?" Aleigha got up slowly, and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground.

There were some things that Adrian would definitely know, one way or the other. Since she had requested Adrian to help her investigate, Adrian would definitely know the reason and the result.

"Aleigha, relax, calm for a bit, okay?" Adrian didn't know how important that girl was to Aleigha, nor did he know how to comfort her.

"I don't need you to tell me that, I am relaxed." Aleigha's heart was filled with nothing but hatred.

She walked out in a state of despondency, but fortunately, Adrian grabbed hold of her in time.

"Aleigha, what do you need me to do?"

Aleigha was slightly stunned. She looked at Adrian and said, "I want Nolan's life. Can you do that for me?"
