Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 369: The Unique Treasure in My Heart
Chapter 369: Chapter 369: The Unique Treasure in My Heart
This memory is actually very simple.
His father was a murderer, and also suffered from a mental illness.
His mother could not endure his father’s psychological control, had an affair with another man, and was ultimately stabbed to death by her own husband.
After they died, young Adrian Holt lived alone in a dilapidated house, with neighbors unable to resist pointing and whispering whenever they saw him.
The children around him always called him the son of a murderer.
He grew increasingly reticent, and as time went on, he even became unwilling to leave the house.
Until later, when the police took him to an orphanage.
In reality, even after moving to a different place, his life remained unchanged.
Teachers detested his gloominess, often vented their anger on him, and sometimes, when they were displeased, they would secretly pinch him, hit him.
The other children also kept their distance and bullied him.
That is, until one day when he was adopted by a man named Mr. Holt, who brought him into the organization.
From then on, he endured various brutal closed-door trainings by day, and by night he was taken to a laboratory to be used as an experimental tool.
Unknown chemicals were injected into his body, causing him to suffer constant pain and torture.
But he dared not resist, because resistance would mean a certain death.
When he grew older, he began going on missions, amidst gunfire and bullets, hovering on the brink of life and death. freёnovelkiss.com
Several times he nearly didn’t survive, but he managed to persevere through sheer willpower.
Until two years ago, he was on a mission and accidentally got into a car accident, falling into a coma.
When he woke up again, everything felt strange, and he even began to sense that he didn’t fit in with the organization.
That was the first time in his life he had the idea of fleeing the organization.
But he had no thorough understanding of the organization, only aware of the powerful forces behind it, forces he could not contend with alone.
It was at this time that he met M.
M had a sharp business mind, so he straightforwardly joined forces with him, secretly managing various business ventures.
In just two years, they had expanded the company substantially.
He intended to extend his influence further and build a team that could stand against the organization.
However, before the plan could be implemented, he suddenly received a call from Mason Parker.
Mason wanted him to approach a woman named Serena Summers and bring her back at all costs.
At that time, he thought this would be the last task he did for the organization.
Unexpectedly, he fell in love with this girl at first sight...
The moment she threw herself into his arms with teary eyes, Adrian Holt felt confused and panicked.
He wanted to flee, yet he couldn’t help wanting to be close to her.
It was a sensation he had never experienced before.
Serena lay on his shoulder, listening intently to what he was saying, her lips involuntarily curling upward.
When it came to the part about their reunion, Serena looked up at him.
Her fair fingers pinched his finely sculpted jaw, forcing him to meet her gaze.
"So, you fell for me then?"
Her almond-shaped eyes sparkled with light, like they were filled with tiny, dazzling stars.
So beautiful that one could not look away.
Adrian’s gaze was deep and meaningful, "I don’t know, maybe?"
Serena chuckled with a coy lift of her chin, "Then why did you give me such a cold look before! So it was all an act, huh?"
The caught-out Adrian cleared his throat, somewhat uncomfortable, "No, before I thought you were a married woman, not someone I could touch."
Ha, men!
"So if I really were a married woman, you would just give up like that?" Serena’s eyes narrowed slightly as she stared intently at him.
Her look seemed to say, dare to say yes and you’re dead.
Looking at the lively and cunning expression on Serena’s face, Adrian couldn’t help but laugh.
His broad and warm palm gently rubbed the fuzzy hair on Serena Summers’ head, declaring with a firm gaze, "No, if there’s another man by your side, I’ll just snatch you back."
He wasn’t the type to silently devote himself to love; if he liked someone, he would get them by any means necessary.
Meeting Serena’s astonished look, Adrian Holt paused, "Did I scare you?"
"No." Serena’s eyes darted around playfully as she wrapped her arms around Adrian Holt’s neck and planted a smooch on his thin lips.
"Mr. Holt, you are so domineering."
But... she liked it.
Adrian Holt had thought she was scared by him and felt momentarily at a loss, his mind racing to think of an explanation.
But before he could speak, a soft touch came from his lips.
With a trace of sweet softness.
Adrian Holt’s heart felt as if it was fiercely jabbed by something, melting into a mushy mess.
"Serena, you really are..."
How could there be such an adorable girl? Every aspect of her just suited his taste.
It was as if she were tailor-made for him by heaven itself, always effortlessly poking at his heart.
Serena, hugging him, smiled with curved eyes and brows.
She suddenly "eh?" in surprise, asking Adrian Holt, "Why do you call me Serena? Did you remember something from before? Or is there a special meaning?"
This was a question she had always wanted to ask.
She had noticed long ago that Adrian Holt would sometimes call her "Serena" just like he did two years ago.
This was a pet name exclusively used by him from two years ago, that is, by Lucas Shaw.
When she heard the name "Serena" from Adrian Holt’s mouth, Serena Summers almost thought he had recovered his memory long ago.
Adrian Holt looked down at her, his dark, deep eyes full of fervor and seriousness, "Serena is Serena, and ’bao’... is the unique treasure in my heart."
Serena Summers gaped in surprise, "Just like that?"
Adrian Holt: "Just like that."
Serena Summers nodded in understanding, so that was it.
It turns out, long ago, he had already been treasuring and cherishing her as if she were a precious gem.
Serena felt as if her heart was soaked in a honey jar, seeping with sweetness.
She lifted her chin and gave Adrian Holt a firm kiss on his face.
Then she buried her cheek in the crook of his neck and rubbed affectionately, her actions full of dependency, "Honey, I really like you, you are also unique in my heart."
Adrian Holt, smelling the faint fragrance from her body, hooked his lips slightly and teasingly asked, "Unique? If you have to choose one between me now and me two years ago, who would you choose?"
Serena Summers: "..."
Wait, why are you even jealous of yourself?
Is it really that good to be so jealous?
Why trouble her, whine whine whine...
"Hmm? Can’t decide?"
Seeing her take a long time to respond, Adrian Holt glanced at her sideways, "Just now you said I was unique, and now you’re hesitating? Women really are fickle."
Watching Adrian Holt with his handsome, dominant face showing a sulky and pouting expression, Serena couldn’t help but twitch her lips.
Who is the truly fickle one?
"Do I have to choose?" Serena Summers showed a troubled look.
She seriously suspected this was a trap where either choice would be wrong.
Yet that certain someone was still looking at her with anticipation, waiting for her response.
A real dilemma.
Adrian Holt nodded, holding her slender waist with one hand, propping his head on the other as he lay on the sofa, looking at her calmly and leisurely.
Serena Summers steeled her heart and kissed the man’s lips directly, "I choose you, I choose you, I choose you!"
Well, important things should be said three times!
When he regains his memory, the answer can be changed back again.
She’s such a clever little devil!
