Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 239

The early morning sun shone through the glass window, causing Leia to slowly blink her eyes open.

She clutched her aching head and gradually sat up on the bed, before looking around the room.

Her eyes halted on Adrik, who was fast asleep on the sofa, and she stared at him for a few moments before getting off the bed to walk towards him.

She squatted down to his level and gently caressed his hair, which was covering his face, then leaned in to place a soft kiss on his cheek. “Adrik…” She whispered his name, and Adrik slowly turned to face her with his eyes still closed.

“Little wife-” He blinked his eyes open and reached out his hand to gently touch her face. “-Did you have a good sleep?”

“Mhm.” Leia nodded at him with a smile on her lips, and he proceeded to sit up on the couch.

“Why did you snooze on the sofa?” Her brow creased as she inquired in a bit of bewilderment.

“Nothing. I just fell asleep here.” A quick chuckle exited his throat and he glanced at the clock to realize that it was already nine in the morning. “Come… let’s give you a nice bath.” He smiled tenderly at her and stood up from the couch to lift her into his arms in a bridal style.

He strolled towards the bathroom and shut the door behind them. “You have lost so much weight and become so light.” A pessimistic breath fled his nose, and Leia’s eyes fluttered.

He sat her down and filled the bathtub, then helped her undress before carrying her into the tub.

He gently bathed her and Leia, whose head was resting on the edge of the bathtub, couldn’t help but stare at him.

Adrik’s brow raised in a bit of confusion, and he couldn’t resist asking why she was staring at him as though she was contemplating something.

“Nothing…it’s just…” A low breath escaped her nose, and she relaxed back, then shut her eyes. “I am a burden, no?”

Adrik’s lashes fluttered vigorously in confusion, and a slight frown emerged on his face.

“I know you’re exhausted, and it’s also the reason you fell asleep on the couch.” She half-smiled at him, and Adrik shook his head as though realizing something.

He halted washing her body and gently traced his thumb across her cheek, causing her to open her eyes and stare at him. “You’re right and also wrong at the same time. I am exhausted, but not because you’re a burden to me.”

“I have never done this kind of thing in my life… well, not like I had anyone to do it for…so yeah… it exhausted me. But little wife, do you know what exhausted me the most? ”

“No…” Leia shook her head, and he chuckled softly before leaning forward to plant a soft kiss on her forehead. “Seeing you suffer and being unable to do anything was what exhausted me the most.” He half-smiled at her, and Leia’s eyes blinked twice as a slow pessimistic smile emerged on her face.

“I am sorry…for everything.” She stroked his cheek, and Adrik smiled at her before continuing to wash her body. “I love you, little wife. That is all that matters to me. ”

“I love you too.” She giggled lovingly and rested her head back with closed eyes.

….

Adrik wrapped her up in a towel and carried her out of the bathroom when he was done washing her up. Then he strolled towards the bed to have her seat down on the edge of the bed.

“What do you want to wear?” He inquired, and Leia thought for a moment before shrugging. “I will wear anything you pick out.”

“You sure?” He cackled, and she nodded at him. “Alright then.” He stood up and walked towards the dressing room, then began to rummage through her clothing that was neatly arranged opposite his.

His hands halted on one which caught his eyes, and he picked it out, then walked back to the entrance.

He shut the door behind him and moved to sit down on the bed beside her. “Do you like this one?”

Leia glanced at the clothing, and she suddenly found herself beginning to chuckle.

“Why are you laughing? They are not bad, are they?” Adrik lifted the clothing and spread it out to stare intently at it. “I don’t see anything wrong with them.” He shook his head, and Leia couldn’t help but flick her fingers on his forehead. “Of course, it’s perfect, just that it’s all in white. I would be shining so much, hahaha.”

“White is a great color, and little wife, I must tell you that you look perfect and very pretty in white.” He smiled lovingly at her, and Leia’s brow raised in a bit of amusement. “Really?” She inquired, and he nodded at her.

“Ahaha, okay then.” She tilted her head to one side as she stared at the clothing, and Adrik proceeded to help her wear it.

He zipped up the shorts for her and helped her slip into the sweater. Then she slid her feet into her white slippers before moving to sit down on the chair at the table. She stared at the mark on her neck and blinked her eyes, seeing that her head and neck injury had healed.

“It healed pretty fast.” Adrik smiled tenderly at her and picked up the comb and oil on the table, then proceeded to comb her hair. “Your hair has grown quite long.” He smirked as his estimation turned out to be correct.

Leia stared at it through the mirror and slightly shook her head. “I don’t want it long.” She glanced at Adrik, and he tilted his head to one side. “But why?”

“I don’t like it.” She simply stated, and Adrik nodded at her in understanding. “Do you want me to help you cut it?” He asked, and she nodded at him with a pretty smile on her lips.

“Okay…” Adrik dropped the comb as he was done combing her hair and picked up the scissors on the table. He measured where to start and carefully began to cut her hair.

Leia stared through the mirror, and a low breath exited her nose.

Adrik combed and brushed her hair when he was done, and Leia glimpsed at it through the mirror, then nodded in satisfaction as she saw that it stopped at neck length, just where she wanted it.

“Little wife, wait here for me. I will be quick with my shower, okay..” He gave her a peck on the cheek and moved into the bathroom to have his shower.
