Adina took the hair dryer and came down before she noticed that Duke was staring at her with his dark and profound eyes.
She pursed her lips and calmly said, “Mr. Winters, are you taking a shower? I’ll go out and blow dry my hair.”
Duke suppressed the heat that was about to erupt from his body. “Your hair’s too long. Let me help you blow dry your hair,” he softly said in his deep voice.
Adina passed the hair dryer to him before she obediently sat in a chair.
Duke ran his fingers through her hair and gently dried it.
His blow-drying technique was not professional, but he was very gentle, as though he was worried that he would hurt her. He protected every strand of hair carefully.
Adina pursed her lips.
She suddenly felt like she was being vicious by testing the man like that.
If this man really had any unwarranted thoughts toward her, did that mean she could criticize and deny him on the high ground of morality?
Adina felt discouraged.
A test like this turned out to be quite uninteresting.
She stood up abruptly and calmly said, “I better do it myself.”
Duke suffered great psychological distress with every second he blew dry her hair. It took all of his will to restrain himself from doing anything too far to her.
He passed the hair dryer back to her. “You do it yourself then.”
After that, he turned around and left the bathroom. Then, he stood on the balcony and kept breathing deeply.
Finally, the sound of the hairdryer in the bathroom stopped. He heard Adina’s footsteps, followed by the subtle sounds of a blanket being turned over.
