Chapter 9

When Belle stepped into the master bedroom, the environment suffocated her a little.

The decoration of Adam’s room was depressing.

The walls were snow–white with no decorations whatsoever. The curtains were black, and the carpet was gray, creating a dark and gloomy atmosphere that seemed to swallow Belle whole.

“Go and lie down on the bed,” Adam suddenly said.

Belle’s heart skipped a beat, and the suffocating feeling disappeared immediately.

She turned to look at Adam and stammered, “So… so soon?”

Now that Belle had decided to marry Adam, she was willing to do everything a wife should do.

However, it was all happening too quickly, and she wasn’t prepared for it yet.

Adam gave Belle a puzzled look and asked, “Is there a problem?”

“N–No… not at all.”

Belle walked hesitantly towards the bed, stealing a glance at Adam.

However, Adam remained where he was.

Belle began to panic.

“Do I have to take the initiative?” she wondered.

Belle couldn’t help but feel conflicted.

Leaning against the door, Adam observed Belle’s changing expressions with interest. “How does this woman have so many expressions?” he thought.

Belle took a deep breath as if she had finally made up her mind.

She walked over to Adam and then reached out to unbutton his shirt without hesitation.

Adam was taken aback and grabbed her hands immediately.

“What do

Belle looked up at him and put on a determined expression. “I’m helping you undress so that we

She tried to appear calm, but she couldn’t help but blush a little.
