Chapter 17: He is Married

After dinner, as Adrian was about to start doing the dishes, Noah took his hand gently, offering to take over the task.

"You made dinner, let me do it," Noah said, surprising Adrian.

Adrian was initially inclined to refuse but was taken aback when Noah pleaded, "Please."

Seeing Noah's determination, Adrian relented and allowed him to handle the dishwashing duties.

"You go and do your work," Noah insisted, pushing Adrian out of the kitchen.

Adrian had spent the entire day with Noah, even leaving his work unfinished, which made Noah worry that he might be negatively affecting Adrian's responsibilities.

Adrian didn't say anything and obediently went to his study room. Meanwhile, Noah diligently cleaned up all the dishes in the kitchen.

After completing his task, Noah made a decision. He wanted to join Adrian in his study. As he approached the door, he felt his nerves kicking in, and he took a deep, long breath before finally knocking on the door.
