Her Return, His Regret novel Chapter 176

"What?" Bianca blinked, her heart racing in her chest.

Of all things, she didn't expect Adan to ask her such a question.

"Didn't you say I wasn't your type?" She questioned, furrowing her eyebrows despite the millions of butterflies that were fluttering in her stomach.

Adan chuckled. He cupped Bianca’s face and replied, "I lied. Why wouldn't you be my type? You're gorgeous. You're the most beautiful blonde, green-eyed goddess I've ever seen."

Bianca’s face flushed pink. She bit her lower lip and said, "I now know why you're a playboy. Your game is smooth... if I didn't know you, I would have fallen for your charms."

Hurt flickered through Adan's eyes. He sighed and replied, "I'm not a playboy. That's just what I made everyone believe."

"What?" Bianca laughed. "Come on, Adan. I'm back and ok now. You don't need to come up with lies because you feel guilty for what happened. I already know why you never wanted to get married."

"Bee... I don't know how to say this," Adan responded. "Yes, I was once in love and got hurt terribly in the end. I didn't want anything to do with relationships, so I put up a playboy façade. I've never really been with all those women the media captured me with. They are paid actresses."

"I know it's hard to believe but I haven't been with a woman in years," Adan added.

Bianca saw how sincere Adan was through his eyes.

Her heart did a flip before it began to beat violently against her ribcage.

For some reason, when she looked into Adan's eyes, she believed him. However, she didn't want to take the risk.

What if his ex showed up and then he discovered he was still in love with her? Wouldn't that be the only reason why he couldn't move on and find another woman?

Adan sighed, knowing it was hard for Bianca to trust him.

He held her hands in his and said, "Don't give me an answer yet. Let's get to know each other better. I'm very sure about my feelings. I've hidden them for so long and I don't want to hide them anymore. I haven't even faked a relationship with anyone ever since I started having feelings for you. Haven't you noticed there haven't been any articles about me being seen with a woman at some hotel? Shouldn't that tell you something?"

Bianca bit her lower lip.

'That's right. Adan hasn't been in any scandals lately,' she mused.

"Let's get to know each other," Bianca suggested.

Even though she secretly felt something for Adan, she still didn't want to rush into opening up her heart completely to him.

It would take some time for her to trust him fully.

Adan smiled and without warning, he leaned in and placed a soft kiss on Bianca’s forehead, saying, "That's my girl. I promise I'll make you fall for me."

Bianca blushed again. She felt like she had a hummingbird in her chest.

And just like that, Adan stayed by Bianca’s side throughout her stay in the hospital.

He would carry her to the bathroom, help her take walks in the garden, and read her books.

"You-"

"Don't feel shy. I know I'm handsome and hard to resist, I understand you," Adan said with a smirk.

Bianca rolled her eyes but a smile crossed her lips. She replied, "I'm not sure... I'm not convinced yet."

"Really?" Adan remarked. He put the bowl away and said, "I guess I just have to be more convincing in my manifesto. And maybe take you on some dates to sweep you off your feet."

Bianca chuckled. She replied, "Oh well... perhaps you haven't done anything to make me confirm if I have feelings for you or not."

"You... want me to do something?" Adan asked, his heart racing as he glanced at Bianca.

Her face was as red as a tomato as she nodded. "Well, yeah... how will I know if I have feelings for you or not- nh!"

Bianca's lips were immediately sealed by Adan's lips. He cupped her face and kissed her passionately, making sure to be as gentle as possible as he claimed her lips.

At the same time, Bianca found herself on cloud nine. Her heart raced, butterflies shifted to her stomach and tingles shot through her body.

Adan was a good kisser.

The way he kissed her made her melt into him immediately. If they weren't at the hospital, she would have willingly spread her legs and asked him to make love to her.

When they pulled apart, Bianca felt lightheaded from the explosive kiss. She looked at Adan with half-hooded eyes, saying, "Damn. I'm fucked. I have feelings for you."
