BXBX NOVEL Chapter 226 - Misunderstanding
Angela obviously accepted the family head\'s request to speak with her in private and followed after him into his office.
Angela could feel that all the congratulations and praises that she was receiving were fake and it was only because they knew that in the future she would be above them, but she didn\'t really care and wanted to get back home to rest.
She was very tired and wanted to sleep, then get up and cultivate as after having such a tense battle and drastic improvement in mindset, she was sure her cultivation would improve very quickly.
Her father was the happiest and the one that praised her the most, since after she became the family head, he would automatically become the great elder, but she ignored him and went to her grandfather.
Angela didn\'t see her father as a bad person or a bad father, it was just that she was mostly raised by her grandfather and her father wouldn\'t spend much time with her when she was younger, so she didn\'t feel very close with him.
In the office, the family head began telling Angela about all the responsibility she would be taking on board as the next family head and also all the things she would need to do to prepare for the role.
However, Angela wasn\'t intimidated or overwhelmed by it and was ready to take on all of those things and become the family head, which impressed her grandfather.
The family head asked about Damian and Martha, and was worried about them, but Angela reassured him that after the alliance with the Epstein Family was finalised and everything was sorted out, they would be returned to the family safely.
They all wanted to party and celebrate with Angela, but she declined and prepared to leave after reporting everything back to the family head and the elders that were there.
She was very tired and drained mentally and physically and all she wanted to do was sleep.
Going back to her apartment was a struggle and all she wanted to do was sleep as she rushed back and entered her apartment.
She went into her room ready to dive into her bed and sleep after a long and tiring day, but in it she found a handsome man with tied-up slick black hair, sleeping.
"Ugh, I forgot about him being here, but he seems to be still deeply sleeping..." mumbled Angela to herself.
She was so exhausted and fatigued that she was considering still getting into the bed despite Adam being in it and without thinking about it too much, pushed Adam to the edge of the bed and went to sleep.
Angela didn\'t think much about it and wasn\'t thinking straight as she got under the covers and instantly fell asleep, too tired to think about what she had done.
Wayde who was watching everything unfold with his spiritual sense was shocked by what Angela did, but wasn\'t against her being with Adam if she wanted to be and couldn\'t voice a complaint anyway.
Retracting his spiritual sense, although Wayde was still monitoring the surroundings, he was much more relaxed as he cultivated for a while before also sleeping.
After a long and eventful day, Adam, Angela and Wayde all slept deeply and peacefully in Angela\'s apartment and none of them were going to wake up for quite a while.
Late the next morning, Adam after spending the 36 hours in the dungeon, which was 16 hours in reality, returned to his body and felt good after enjoying himself and spending time with Ava, while also making massive progress in the dungeon and completing Stage 1.
Upon waking up, he yawned and stretched, but he didn\'t recognise the room he was in and when he looked beside him on the bed, he saw Angela.
Before he could even ask what happened or get out of the bed, Angela opened her eyes and saw Adam beside her in the bed, then screamed at the top of her lungs and went to slap his face.
Just as her hand was about to hit his face, Adam caught her arm and wasn\'t going to allow her to slap his face until he knew what is going on.
{Adam, she was the one that lay beside you while you were in the dungeon and no one touched you, so there is no need to worry} reassured him Ava within his mind, who was the only one that could tell him what was happening to his body in reality while he was in the dungeon.
"Calm down, I don\'t know what is happening and I think this is a misunderstanding, but you shouldn\'t try and hit me," said Adam calmly, knowing that Angela didn\'t have malicious intentions and was only acting on instinct.
Adam\'s face was calm, but his red eyes were blazing with killing intent despite him suppressing it, as the Bloodlust Characteristic would be activated as soon as he witnessed blood or death, felt negative emotions or was attacked.
"I apologise," said Angela as she pulled back her arm and blushed.
"Thank you for looking after me while I was sleeping and I appreciate it. I will leave you to sort out all the things you need to sort out" stated Adam before getting out of the bed and leaving the room.
Just as he was about to leave, Angela called out to him, "Are you angry?"
Adam chuckled then answered with a reassuring smile, "Why would I be angry? I am actually very happy right now and just want to have some time to relax.
Everything had worked out, the system turned into the girl of his dreams after gaining complete sentience and his power had increased rapidly over the past few days along with his combat prowess.
Adam made sure to go to Wayde and bid him farewell, just as a sign of respect, then left Angela\'s apartment and the building.
Outside the building, he had a slight smile on his face then called for a nearby taxi, excited to see his aunt and Chase after not seeing them for a few days.
