Chapter 427 - 430: Baby, Say My Name

Adrian Lancaster’s voice was husky, as if he were drunk. The desire he had suppressed for so long was roaring to life within him.

His Adam’s apple bobbed sharply as he breathed raggedly in Wren Sutton’s ear. "May I?"

Wren Sutton’s fingers curled, resting gently against Adrian Lancaster’s chest. Even through the fabric, she could feel his searing body heat.

A soft blush spread from her cheeks all the way down her neck. The corners of her eyes shimmered with a rosy, moist sheen, making her look exceptionally captivating and alluring in the dim light.

Too shy to meet Adrian Lancaster’s deep, burning gaze, she demurely lowered her head and buried her face in his embrace.

His pleasant scent, his body heat, his very presence—it all sent her breathing into complete disarray.

Wren Sutton subconsciously bit her lip, her heart a mix of shyness and soft tenderness.

’We’re both adults, and we just kissed in such an intimate atmosphere.’ She knew exactly what Adrian Lancaster meant when he asked, "May I?"

He wanted to take their intimacy a step further. He wanted to conquer her completely.

"You..."

"Hm?"

The corners of Adrian Lancaster’s eyes were also tinged with a passionate red. As he waited for her answer, his breathing grew heavier with each passing second.

The veins on his taut arms stood out in sharp relief, his muscles bulging with a distinctly masculine, powerful form.

Wren Sutton voiced her concern in a low voice, "Darling, I... It’s not that I don’t want to, but I’m worried about your health..."

The moment the words left her mouth, Adrian Lancaster’s dark eyes narrowed. He lifted her onto the bathroom counter, pinning her firmly in place.

Forced to look up, Wren Sutton let out a small gasp. Her delicate, soft voice acted like a catalyst, completely igniting the man’s desire.

"Baby, remember this: you can question anything, but never question your man’s body."

Passion surged across Adrian Lancaster’s handsome face. He looked commanding yet sensual, startling her while drawing her in even deeper.

Wren Sutton trembled, her heart beating even faster. "That’s not what I meant. I’m just worried since you only got out of the hospital a short while ago..."

Adrian Lancaster pressed his entire body against hers, so close their temples brushed.

"Don’t worry. I’ll show you the answer with my actions."

Wren Sutton felt Adrian Lancaster’s powerful presence, and her body recoiled as if scalded, trembling nervously.

Images of their past intimacy flashed through her mind, so fiery they made her blush.

Adrian Lancaster was very strong in that department, and very fierce. It had taken her a long time after they married to be able to handle him and keep up with his rhythm.

’So much time has passed. Today, I’ll have to get used to him all over again.’ It was only natural she felt a little scared.

Sensing Wren Sutton’s nervousness, Adrian Lancaster immediately pulled her into a comforting embrace, gently kissing her eyes and brows.

"Don’t be afraid. Hold me tight. I won’t hurt you, and I won’t cause you any pain. Honey, trust me."

"We’re husband and wife, we’re lovers. I’ll love you forever, and I want to give you the best experience."

With her husband’s gentle encouragement and guidance, Wren Sutton’s tense body slowly began to relax.

’Since I’ve already chosen to let go of the past, to forgive Adrian, and to reconcile with him, I’m now willing to accept all of him.’

’This day was bound to come sooner or later. It’s only human nature, a normal physical need, and a catalyst for strengthening the bond between a husband and wife.’

She bravely nodded her consent.

Although it was a bit difficult to adjust to at first, Wren Sutton found it wasn’t as frightening as she’d feared.

She felt as if she had fallen into a pool of lava, its searing heat melting her completely.

As the strange yet familiar sensation swept over her in dense waves, Wren Sutton clung tightly to Adrian Lancaster, her nails digging into his broad back, leaving faint marks.

The temperature in the bathroom gradually rose, mingled with the sounds of passion and intimacy.

"Baby, say my name..." Adrian Lancaster whispered, kissing Wren Sutton’s ear. His magnetic voice sounded exceptionally sexy and seductive.

Wren Sutton was too weak to respond, managing only a few random moans. Her eyes lost focus, her vision blurring as she instinctively sank into oblivion with Adrian Lancaster.

Her "perfunctory" response was met with the man’s even more torrential and fierce love.

"Naughty babies have to be punished."

Wren Sutton experienced an ecstasy that melted her very bones, leaving her unable to stop.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Calm returned to the bathroom. The air was thick with the mixed scent of hormones and body fragrance.

Wren Sutton felt completely drained of strength. She leaned dependently in Adrian Lancaster’s arms, too exhausted to even think about moving.

The corners of her eyes still held a lingering blush. Her eyelashes fluttered gently, and even her breaths were soft and delicate.

Adrian Lancaster looked down at her, his gaze gentle and filled with adoration.

He kissed her forehead, the pad of his thumb gently caressing her sweat-dampened temple.

"You must be so tired, honey. I love you."

Adrian Lancaster carefully cleaned Wren Sutton’s body, dressed her in a fresh bathrobe, and wrapped her up snugly.

Then, with one arm supporting the back of her knees and the other wrapped tightly around her back, he swept her up into his arms.

Wren Sutton instinctively snuggled into Adrian Lancaster’s warm embrace, her cheek resting against his chest. Listening to the steady, powerful beat of his heart, her frazzled mind finally calmed down.

Adrian Lancaster carried his wife out of the bathroom and over to the bed, gently setting her down.

He didn’t get up right away. Instead, he propped himself up beside Wren Sutton, pulling the covers over her and brushing the stray hairs from her cheek.

He sat on the edge of the bed, watching her quietly, his eyes overflowing with tenderness.

"Go to sleep, honey. I’ll stay with you."

Wren Sutton mumbled a drowsy "mhm," then complained playfully, "I’m so tired. It’s all your fault~"

A doting smile spread across Adrian Lancaster’s lips, his heart bubbling with happiness.

"Mhm, my fault. I couldn’t hold back."

...

「Late the next morning.」

Wren Sutton slept until she woke up naturally.

The crisp, unique scent of cedarwood from Adrian Lancaster’s body filled her senses. Her cheek was pressed against his warm, firm chest, and she could clearly hear the steady, strong beat of his heart.

She shifted slightly and realized she was held securely in Adrian Lancaster’s arms.

His arm was wrapped around her waist, gentle yet firm, leaving no room for escape.

Her legs were gently entwined with his, an intimate embrace that hadn’t loosened all night.

The scene from the bathroom last night replayed in her mind automatically—frame by frame, sound by sound—with startling clarity.

Wren Sutton blushed shyly, her heart rate picking up.

She slowly lifted her head, and Adrian Lancaster’s chiseled face came into view, as handsome as ever.

His brow and eyes, which usually held a cold, sharp edge, were now relaxed and gentle.

His jawline was smooth and sharp, his thin lips slightly pursed.

There was less of his usual aloof, detached coldness and more of a gentle warmth that put her at ease.

Perhaps Wren Sutton’s movement disturbed Adrian Lancaster. A low grunt escaped his throat, and the arm around her waist tightened slightly as he gently nuzzled his chin against her hair.

"You’re awake? Why don’t you sleep a little longer?" His voice was raspy and languid with sleep.

Wren Sutton’s heart softened. She reached up to caress his cheek. "I can’t sleep anymore. You’re holding me too tight."

"If I don’t hold you tight, I’m afraid you’ll run away."

Adrian Lancaster slowly opened his eyes. His dark irises were still veiled with morning drowsiness, but the moment he saw Wren Sutton, they filled with an overwhelming, tender affection.

"You’re right here, where would I run? We promised to be together forever and never separate," Wren Sutton said, snuggling deeper into Adrian Lancaster’s embrace.

A sweet fragrance filled the air. Bright sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a warm glow on them, creating a cozy and blissful moment.

The couple held hands tightly, fingers intertwined. They embraced for a while, murmuring sweet nothings to each other.

It felt as if time itself had slowed down.

After a moment, Wren Sutton’s mind suddenly jolted. She remembered Owen and Nina.

From the moment she went into the bathroom to shower last night until now, she had spent the entire night with Adrian Lancaster, completely forgetting about her two children.

Adrian Lancaster noticed his wife’s body suddenly stiffen. He raised a hand to her cheek and asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

"I’m such a terrible mother. I completely forgot about the children last night."

As she spoke, Wren Sutton immediately sat up and looked toward the crib.

"Where are Owen and Nina? The babies aren’t in the crib. Where did they go?"

Adrian Lancaster sat up with her. Seeing his wife’s panicked expression, he couldn’t help but chuckle. He lightly tapped her nose and pulled her into his arms to comfort her.

"Don’t worry. Nanny Zane was looking after Owen and Nina last night. She fed them formula twice during the night. The babies didn’t fuss much and slept very well."

Hearing this, Wren Sutton finally breathed a sigh of relief, her expression calming.

The two of them cuddled for a while longer, having endless things to say to each other.

It wasn’t until their stomachs started growling that they finally got out of bed to wash up.

Standing in front of the mirror, she saw several suggestive hickeys on her neck. Wren Sutton couldn’t help but recall the intimate, passionate scenes with Adrian Lancaster from last night, and her face betrayed her by turning red again.

Just as her heart was fluttering in her chest, she suddenly realized a very serious problem.

Wren Sutton paused mid-motion while drying her face. She whipped her head around to look at Adrian Lancaster beside her and asked urgently, "Honey, did you wear a condom last night?"

It had only been half a year since she’d given birth, and her body hadn’t fully recovered yet. She had no plans to have another child so soon.

If Adrian Lancaster hadn’t used protection last night, she would have to take a contraceptive pill right away to eliminate any possibility of pregnancy.
