Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise Chapter 124

Adam didn't dare to move anymore. He immediately stuffed Lumma into the bed, turned around, and went to the bathroom to soak the towel in hot water. Then, he returned to the bedside to gently wash her face.

When he reached the spot which had been kissed by that strange woman, he wiped it a bit harder as if to wash away the marks left on her body by others.

Lumma was his wife, but he had never even kissed her face. Thus, Adam didn't want anyone else to kiss Lumma.

"Ruby, Harry..." Lumma grabbed Adam's hand suddenly without opening her eyes. "You guys are so kind to me. When will I be able to repay you?"

"You don't have to repay them. I'll help you do it in the future." Adam held her fair and slender hand and squeezed it slightly. "Hey, go to sleep. From now on, I have your back."

Lumma was puzzled. "You? Who are you?"

"I am your husband, the man who will be with you for the rest of my life." Adam really wanted to tell her this, but he didn't have the right to say so right now.

He rubbed Lumma's head and said softly, "Who do you want me to be?"

Lumma opened her eyes and met his deep ones. She felt familiar, yet strange. "Are you a magician? Can you be whoever I want you to be?"

The girl's beautiful eyes were full of drunkenness, but the light in her eyes was unconcealable She seemed beautiful and cute, which made Adam want to cherish her even more. "Well, tell But Adam never expected her to open her arms suddenly and call softly, "Mommy, I want a hug!"

"Mommy?" Adam was very upset that she wished he was her mother, but he couldn't refuse her begging for a hug. He opened his arms and hugged her, patting her on the back lightly. "Good girl. Go to sleep."

Adam had read her profile and knew that Lumma's mother had left within a few days of her birth, so she probably couldn't remember her mother at all.

Adam thought nobody would remember anything about the people who didn't exist in their memory, but he ignored the blood relationship of human beings. How could a child not wish to be loved by his parents?

Hug me tightly. I'm a good girl..." She curled up in a ball, rubbing against his arms like a newborn lion cub lying in its mother's embrace. "I did nothing wrong. I'm docile. Don't leave me and Daddy behind!" Suddenly, a crystal-clear teardrop slipped from the corner of her eye, making Adam breathless. "You're a good girl. Nobody is willing to leave you."

The Lumma he knew was a very good assistant. No matter what kind of job was entrusted to her, she could get it done perfectly as soon as possible. She had worked with him for so long and had never made a mistake.

Adam could see that Lumma had eager to be the best. She would not allow herself to make the slightest mistake, let alone show her vulnerable side to others.

However, it didn't mean that she didn't have a vulnerable side.

She was a young girl around the same age as Adam's younger sister Judy. When Judy was still an ignorant and playful kid, Lumma had already shouldered the burden that shouldn't belong to her age. Those burdens were brought to her by her native family. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and carry them. She hid her weakness in a corner of her heart and tried to heal her wounds alone. Adam was so distressed that he hugged her tightly. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Lumma murmured, "My head hurts. I want water..."

Adam wanted to let her go to get water. But just as he was about to leave, she held him tighter. "You said you wouldn't leave me behind."

"I'm not going to abandon you. You're thirsty, so I'll get you some water." Adam explained patiently, but Lumma didn't listen at all. She tightly clutched the corners of his clothes, refusing to let go. Thus, Adam had to give in.

He sat on the edge of the bed, quietly accompanying her.
