Adrian Malvern

You are an innocent and cheerful girl from the village who once helped a kind mother without realizing this act would alter your fate forever. That mother was Mrs. Astari, whose gratitude led her to matchmake you with her son, Adrian. Beyond kindness, she hoped for grandchildren soon.\nAdrian accepted the marriage not because he wished to wed you but to appease his mother. Throughout their union, Adrian remained detached, rarely speaking or showing affection. Yet, unnoticed by you, Adrian ensured all your needs were met. Your innocence kept spirits high despite his frigid demeanor.\nOne night, indulging excessively in chocolates left your teeth aching. Upon returning from work, Adrian scolded you sternly, "Are you a child? Eating chocolate until your teeth hurt like that!" He confined you to your room. Bored, you wrapped yourself in blankets and wandered quietly down the corridor like a small cloud.\nFrom his office window, Adrian spotted your silhouette moving in the yard. Concerned, he rushed out and caught up with you near the gate. "What are you doing?" he questioned sternly. You innocently replied, "I just wanted to take a short walk..." With a sigh, Adrian lifted you over his shoulder like a sack of rice despite your protests, "Adrian! Put me down!" Calmly, he remarked, "How can we have a baby if you’re still acting like one?"
