Eighteen Again: The CEO's Wife was a Delinquent

Immersed in the romantic ambiance at their candlelit dinner, the couple carries on with their succulent banquet and idle conversation.

Seeing how much of a drop-dead gorgeous angel Cassidy looks tonight, Adrian can't help but be so captivated that he keeps staring at her dreamily. Not only did she prepare such a memorable dinner for him, but she also dressed herself up for this evening.

He really wouldn't ask for anything better than this. Everything he ever wants and ever needs - she has it all. 

'I gotta step up my game, too. I can't let her be the one to treat me all the time,' he decided, feeling like he could give even the world to her at that moment. 

Then, time passes by.

Before they knew it, the moon is already at its peak in the night sky. Losing track of time wasn't what threw Adrian off guard, though. What took him aback was finding Cassidy drunk even though she avoided drinking too much. 

Right now, she's nuzzling her nose in her arms and dozing off, looking like she's taking a nap.

'How come she ended up like this when she only drank two glasses so far?' he wondered and took her glass.

That's when Adrian found out that Cassidy mistook his drink for her own. The wines they were taking were supposed to have different alcohol levels due to her low tolerance, but he failed to notice that she actually had a portion of his drink at some point.

"Now, I see. Since they have the same color, we can't tell the difference unless we look at the labels-"

"Oh, wow~ A prince charming~!"

Then, he stilled.

All of the sudden, Cassidy bolted out of her seat and leaned closer to Adrian, beholding his features with a giddy grin all the while. Surprised, his eyes went wide like saucers as his everything right then could only revolve around her. 

She looks feverish with her cheeks flushed red. Her way of talking also seemed to have become child-like.

"Oh, my~ I've never seen a prince before! Is this a dream or something?" she rambled on, seemingly trapped in her own little world.

Adrian regrets getting too caught up in his reverie earlier, but at this point, all he can do is smile in understanding and watch over Cassidy. 

With a love-struck expression, she soon began shoving and brushing her face against his chest like it's a pillow. He only laughed when she went ahead and started cuddling him tightly. 

From thereon, his endeared gaze only remains glued on his beloved.

"You're seriously going straight to bed after this, Cassidy."

"Nooo...! Please, don't, Your Majesty~!" 

Much to his amusement, Cassidy just gushes on and on, talking about how he looks like royalty and that she'd been dreaming of seeing one since she was little. It seems like he's witnessing yet another one of her childish antics.

"You silly little lady..." he then sighed helplessly, blushing at this adorable display of hers.

"Alright, that's enough for tonight. Let's get you to bed."

With that, Adrian reaches out and puts his arms around Cassidy before lifting her up. As he begins carrying her like a princess, she squeals out loud in pleasant surprise. He was caught off guard by this, but when he found her enjoying how he swept her off of her feet, he only chuckled and kissed her forehead. 

The two then stare at each other for a fraction of time, with the cool evening breeze blowing around them. 

This romantic setting and his wife's affections - they're what Adrian had been dreaming of for a long time.

With Cassidy being so sweet and cute, he doesn't know how many times his heart has burst with bliss. He feels like he doesn't need anything else. And as he continues to stare down at this angelic beauty in his arms, he can't help but be more than overjoyed.

He's helplessly drawn and enraptured at this point, especially at how she appears so heavenly with those beet red cheeks of hers and her lovely orbs of ruby gleaming underneath the moonlight.

While Adrian is thinking about all of that, Cassidy grins again all of the sudden, beaming brighter than ever.

"Now, you really look like a prince charming~!" she chirped blithely, smitten. 

"Do I really?" he chuckled in amusement.

"Yeah, yeah! A very, very handsome one! A prince who cast a strong spell on poor ol' me and made me fall soooo in love~"

Adrian is now close to losing control. 

He keeps telling himself that it's just the wine speaking. But even then, he can tell that there is nothing but the truth in her words. He can do so with how genuine Cassidy says those things and how sincere she looks at him. 

"Seriously, you..." he then muttered with a deep, breathy tone.

If she acts any more adorable than this, Adrian is afraid that they may not make it in bed anymore. He may not be able to hold back any longer. Ravishing his beloved right there and then seems so tempting.

"Though I may not be a princess..." Cassidy then added all of the sudden, making Adrian snap out of his fleeting trance.

"I'll work hard to be a good lover to you."

And alas, she passed out.

He falls silent at once after hearing that, his heart warming up then melting into a puddle of goo. He was knocked out of breath as soon as he finished taking them in. 

"Cassidy," Adrian found himself breathing out, feeling like tearing up for the second time that night. 

For the next seconds to come, he just continues staring down at her sleeping face. He can only ever wonder how fortunate he is to have found someone like her - someone so pure, caring and strong.

Cassidy is definitely one of a kind.

With a loving gaze and tender smile, he lowers down his head and places a warm, gentle kiss on her forehead before doing the same on her cheeks and then her lips. After giving her a fair amount of kisses, he starts to make his way back to her bedroom, still admiring her until then. 

"Let me be your one and only prince for the rest of your life then, princess."
