Chapter 154: Dishonoured One (1)
Adrian stepped out of the steaming shower as water droplets trailed down his toned physique, highlighting the outlines of his muscles. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Sophia glanced up and smiled at him.
Adrian had never been in a ’bad’ shape per se, but now his physique was on a different level. He wasn’t buff, but just the body she had always desired.
Noticing her gaze, Adrian turned around and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
Knowing she had been caught, Sophia blushed and quickly came up with an excuse.
"I was just looking at your hair," Sophia mumbled, a smile tugging at her lips. "You kinda need a haircut."
"Yeah, it’s been a while," he admitted, running a hand through his damp hair. "I’ve been too caught up with everything else to worry about it."
With only two rooms available, A’Mila and Amelia were to share one, leaving Adrian, Sophia, and Fenris in the other. A’Mila tried to object but was silenced by Amelia, who ushered her into the adjacent room, leaving Adrian and Sophia, the two former lovebirds, in a room.
Amelia had hoped that Adrian might remember something by being near each other. Once again, she was willing to sacrifice her feelings for them to be happy.
Besides being an honourable elf, even if she wooed Adrian in his state, she would never be able to forgive herself for it. She cared about Adrian more than anyone, but like her, she wanted him to choose her when he was complete, with his unfractured memories and all.
"You still look good, though. Better than you did after... well, you know," Sophia said, falling on the bed. "After what Victor did to you."
Adrian’s expression darkened at the mention of Dr. Victor, the mad scientist who revived him, only to turn him into a monster. But some part of him was glad about it. Had it not been for Victor and his goons, he would have never had an opportunity to get his revenge.
