Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 56. Leave Him!
"Amber?" Mrs. Lim sighed in disbelief. "Yes, I love Adam and we will be married in the near future. We have even submitted all the files needed," Amber said without loosening the hug. Knowing the truth, Mister Lim snorted in annoyance. His eyes started to gleam red with anger. "Is this what you've been doing all this time? You're not studying jewelry design, but making out with another woman's husband?" "Wait a minute, Mr. Lim," Adam interrupted as he raised a hand. "You must be misunderstanding. The media has never reported on it, but I'm actually divorced." "So you'd rather be with a widower than the man your parents chose?" Mr. Lim asked his daughter in a high pitched voice. Seeing the young man's jaw begin to throb, Mrs. Lim rushed to hold her husband's arm. She realized that the tightly shut mouth was trying to prevent a bigger commotion. "I’m sorry, Mister Smith. My husband didn't mean to belittle you. It's just that we've picked the right man for Amber. We hope you can und
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 57. Destroyer of Happiness
Instead of arguing, Adam turned the page. A second later, he held the book up in front of Mister Lim. "If I'm a bad influence on Amber, will she possibly draw this?" The old man spontaneously stopped the steps. From under a frown, he checked what Adam meant. Apparently, a brooch and tie clip decorated with letter A were drawn on it. "Are you showing how much Amber loves you?" Mr. Lim asked, raising an eyebrow. Before the widower could answer, he snorted lightly. “I don't care about that, Mister Smith. You will never get our blessing.” “Do you think these things were for us?” Adam interrupted in a mocking tone. Smiling, he shook his head. “Sorry to disappoint you, Mister Lim. But I never wore a tie clip and Amber never told me about her brooch collection. She must have drawn this because she thought of you.” After a deep sigh, Mrs. Lim grabbed her husband's arm. "Andy ...." When the man turned to her, she showed the brooch that adorned her beautiful coat. "Amber still cares about
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 58. Finish Him!
“Adam,” Amber called before choking with fright, “turn around!” Instead of obeying the order, Adam fixated his eyes on the cruel faces of the approaching men. Inwardly, he wondered. Could he beat them? "Adam!" Amber shook his arm until the man gasped. “Quickly turn around! My father must have ordered them to drag me home.” After one quick gust, Adam rushed to change gear. However, just as he checked the rearview mirror, his eyes widened to the max and his body stiffened. Two other cars had also blocked the opposite direction. "Damn," he thought, holding his breath. Seeing her lover suddenly froze, Amber looked back. As soon as she found four people on standby in the back of their car, cold sweat began to form. "Adam, we’re trapped," the woman sighed in panic. Her breaths began to shorten. As quick as lightning, Adam grabbed Amber's hand. While holding it tightly, he aligned their gazes. "Stay calm! I won't let them take you away." After nodding stiffly, Amber returned her sigh
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 59. Firm Decision
"Hey," Adam sighed as he stroked Amber’s cheek and brought his face closer. “Look at me, Precious … look at me!” Underneath the slightly furrowed brow, the woman's eyes opened again. Her gaze looked very weak and tired. "You don't need to panic anymore. I'm already here, with you," the man whispered as he gave the best smile he could. After a blink, Amber's hand rose to grip her lover's coat. "Adam ...." “Yes, it's me. Now control yourself! Catch your breath!” Adam grasped the woman's cold fingers to give her strength. "Come on, Precious. You sure can." Nodding faintly, Amber tried to take a longer breath. Unfortunately, the pressure in her chest was too big to beat. "I can't," she sighed before dropping more tears. A second later, Adam placed her hand on her stomach. “Just think of our baby! He also wants to breathe. You can't give up." Suddenly, Amber grabbed Adam's hand again. Furrowing the brows and closing the eyes, she focused her thoughts into her lungs. "Right. Keep go
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 60. The Commotion in the Cabin
From the chair beside the bed, Amber kept holding Adam's hand. Every now and then, she lifted the big palm and put it on her cheek. However, instead of calming down, her heart became even more restless. Seeing the woman's nervousness, Mr. Berg opened the door wider and walked in. "Don't worry, Miss Lim. My brother is the greatest doctor in this area, so his analysis can’t be wrong. Mister Smith is fine." "But why hasn't he woken up yet? It's been more than three hours," Amber said hoarsely and furrowed her brows. Feeling pity, Mr. Berg sat down beside her. "Even though Mr. Smith is a strong man, he still needs time to recover. So, let him rest a little longer. The important thing is that his wounds are already treated and his vital signs are safe." "He must be awake, right?" Amber asked quietly. "Of course. Now ..., how about you dine with us? My daughter and niece are here. They're waiting for you in the dining room." In an instant, confusion weighed on the corners of Amber's l
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 61. Learn from Mistakes
As the commotion of his family grew louder, Mr. Berg raised his hand. "Attention! Attention! Didn't we just learn a valuable lesson from Ella and Freja? Why are you repeating their mistake now?” In an instant, the people at the dining table fell silent. No one dared to talk about cannibal anymore. They realized that it was not necessarily true. They had been stirred up by the news. “I think you have to explain about that nickname, Mister Smith. Why are you being called a cannibal?” Hearing Ella's suggestion, Amber spontaneously shook the hand that was holding her. "Adam, do you want me to do it for you?" she whispered anxiously. With sincere look, the man shook his head. “Just stay by me side. It’s more than enough.” A second later, he took a deep breath and curled up his lips. “Honestly, I was badly depressed after the divorce. In order to heal myself, I moved to a secluded cabin. Since then, I became a gloomy person who got resentful every time my composure was disturbed. I act
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 62. Romantic Photos
Adam and Amber were wide-eyed when their ears caught that sound. No more moves they dared to make. They even exhaled very carefully. "Did you hear that?" Amber whispered, glancing at the door. Before Adam could answer, someone knocked again. "Sorry, Miss Lim, are you guys busy?" "We have something important to tell you." In an instant, the couple stepped back from each other. Without a word, they competed to fix their own clothes. "Why do the girls come at a time like this?" Adam grumbled as he covered the mess under his oversized sweater. While holding back a laugh, Amber shrugged. “I don't know. Let me talk to them outside. You just wait here, okay?” "Don't be long," Adam pleaded in pity. The woman automatically snorted in exasperation. After nodding, she walked out, leaving his lover with a disheveled look. "I should have waited till it’s late," the man regretted before scratching his temple. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Adam looked here and there. He had to extinguish
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 63. Too Reckless
The arch of Adam's brows automatically pressed against the forehead. As his mouth was tightly shut by tension, his breath was held by nervousness. How could he forget to put his phone on silent mode? “Since when did you share your contact to other people, Adam? I never found out,” Amber asked in a surprised tone. After one firm blink, the man hurried to curl up his lips. “I was also surprised my phone suddenly vibrated. This must be a wrong call. Only Mr. Berg and you keep my contacts," the man explained before rejecting the call. Pursing her lips, Amber nodded. A second later, she changed her expression back to being friendly. “Freja, Ella,” she called while turning to the right and left, “I have to go now. Since I'm sure you both have great taste, I trust you to choose the best photo. And remember! Don't spread our photos anywhere! Keep them like how Mr. Berg keeps our video." "Don't worry, Amber. You can count on us." Freja raised an eyebrow. "Yes! You better think about which

Amber quietly opened the workroom door. Seeing her husband was daydreaming, she lifted the corner of her lips. "What are you doing, Jewel?" Adam spontaneously turned to the direction of the voice. Knowing the presence of his wife, his smile grew wider. "Hey .... Is Ashley sleeping?" "Yes," Amber answered while approaching. Then, casually, she sat on her husband's lap. "Why are you still here? Is your work not done yet?" As Adam rubbed the back of his neck, Amber began to investigate the table. Turned out, the computer had been off. The files were also neatly organized in the folders. What’s left there was only a cell phone displaying an image. "You really like that picture, hmm?" Amber concluded while glancing sweetly. Spotted by those warm eyes, Adam let out a smile. After kissing Amber’s shoulder, he nodded. "It's all thanks to you. I wouldn't have been able to fix my relationship with Mother if you didn't follow us." "I didn't do anything. When I got there, you guys have been

"I know you must have doubted what I said," Mrs. Smith cried, breaking the silence. "Is there something I have to do to prove my point? Your mother really wants to change, Adam." Still with furrowed brows, the man snorted. "Why only now? Is it because Ed abandoned you?" Mrs. Smith shook her head briskly. "No, don't get me wrong. The tension between us has nothing to do with Ed. I was too stupid to use him to take all yours." "Non sense ...." "Do you know that Ed scolded me? He's tired of being dragged down by my selfishness. Your brother said he didn't want to help me bully you anymore." Before Adam could object, Mrs. Smith continued. "Since then, I've started to realize. But, I still convince myself that you don't deserve to be happy. Your mother is very stupid, hmm?" Adam suddenly fell silent. From under the frown, he looked intently at his mother. “Why should I believe?” "I haven't even used a penny of your money, Adam. I feel guilty every time I see your transfer papers. Sh
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold S2| 50. The Meaning of Sincerity
After his mother slammed the door, Adam rubbed Amber's arm. Noticing his wife's disheveled look, he whispered, "Are you all right?" The woman nodded. "Yeah, you?" Adam took a deep breath. After raising an eyebrow, he curled up his lips. "Yeah. I'm glad nothing happened. I was afraid my mother would do something reckless. Sorry for letting her carry Ashley." "It's okay, Jewel. I think Ashley is happy to have met her grandmother," Amber said while stroking her daughter's head. The little baby had closed her eyes again. She seemed so peaceful. "Look, she's smiling again." "She must want to cheer you up," Adam whispered before landing a soft kiss on Ashley's forehead. "Not only me, but you too. We are lucky to have such a kind baby. This must be your good karma. You remain patient with your mother, even though she has been hurt you many times." Disagreeing, Adam shook his head. "Your sweet karma too, Precious. You are much more filial to your parents. Anyway, they are coming here, r
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold S2| 49. Adorable Baby
As the silence was hanging in the air, people in that room were exchanging glances. No one dared to speak until Ruby broke the silence. "May I carry her?" "Of course," Amber answered, patting Adam's arm. Understanding the code given, Adam took Ashley out of her tiny bed. As soon as the adorable baby arrived in Ruby's arms, all eyes started to tear up. "Hey, look at this tiny face! Why are you so cute, Ashley?" Ruby whispered in a trembling voice. The emotion almost pushed the tears out of bounds. "This pretty nose is very similar to Amber's, while these thin lips ... a hundred percent copy of her father." As that woman studied every detail of the baby, Amber asked lightly, "Would you like to take a picture with Ashley?" In an instant, Ruby's wistful eyes were tinged with shock. "Is it okay? Didn't you two agree not to publish your daughter's face?" "Take the photo as a keepsake. You can print it and store it in your wallet or diary," Amber said, glancing at Nick. Realizing the
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold S2| 48. Can't Stand It Anymore
“Hurry up! I can’t stand it anymore!" Amber shouted while squeezing her husband's clothes. Panic, Adam started to circle around the yard. Maybe he dropped the key somewhere. Meanwhile, Nick was busy groping his own body. When his hand pressed against his trouser pocket, his eyes widened perfectly. "Shall we just take my car?" the fat man suggested while showing his car keys. Still out of breath, Amber turned to the vehicle parked beside Adam's car. "You think I weigh up to a ton? People must be laughing when they see you take me in that truck!" she grumbled in a shrill voice. Nick spontaneously grimaced at it. "Sorry, Madam. It's not a truck, but a mini box van for dry cargo. I use it to deliver jewelry." "You have nothing to be ashamed of, Precious," Adam continued with a reassuring nod. "The car is used to carrying valuables." Suddenly, Amber closed her eyes again. The pain that twisted in her stomach grew crazier. "Okay! Quickly tak

"Hello, Mrs. Smith. How are you feeling?" Nick said when welcoming Amber to his house. He secretly felt proud to see his whistle hanging around the woman's neck. "Very well. We’re sorry to bother you, Nick. It's actually one week earlier than the doctor predicted. But Adam keeps insisting that we should stay at your house." Seeing Amber's guilty expression, Nick chuckled. "It’s not a problem at all. What the boss thinks is true. It's best if we are on guard. The hospital is too far from your cottage." "You're a wise man, Nick," Adam said while carrying three large bags he'd pulled from the trunk. “Seems like, I’ve put my trust in the right person.” Once again, the fat man chuckled. Taking one of the bags from Adam's hand, he waved. "Come on! Let me show you your room! I’ve asked Tina to clean it this morning." As Nick led the way, Amber leaned toward her husband. "Who's Tina?" "I don't know. Maybe, his new girlfriend," Adam replied wit
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold S2| 46. The Unexpected Response
"I’m sincere," Amber nodded swiftly. "It's just I regret their attitude that never changes. I can’t tell how long they will stand to make you suffer." Smiling a little, Adam stroked her cheek. Now that he had known the reason, his love to her grew larger. "Don't worry! I'm sure they won't ask for anything more after this. I've got nothing for them to grab." "What about our house? Should we apply for a transfer of assets? I think it would be safer if the certificate was registered in my name." Stifling a laugh, Adam nodded. He knew that half of Amber's heart was actually not willing to see him sacrifice so much. "That's why, I insisted on handing over the company to you. But you kept refusing." "I don't want people to think of you as a slave to my love, Jewel. It’s not normal for a man giving all his wealth to his wife? He’ll be called a stupid man. I don't want you to be branded like that." Thinking that Amber was so adorable, Adam kissed the tip of her nose. "I have no problem

"Now it's my turn to give you a gift," Ruby said awkwardly. "A gift? When did you prepare it? You spent most of the time in bed," Amber asked wide-eyed. "Online shopping is not something difficult," Ruby said before smiling faintly. Without further ado, she handed her the box. "Take this as an apology as well as my thanks. You may open it now." After giving Adam her whistle, the pregnant woman lifted the lid of the box. As soon as she found a neatly folded red knitted cloth, she let out a faint sigh. "Is this a form of protest because we threw away the white sweater you gave Adam?" "Otherwise, I want to bury bad memories about it. I hope a new sweater could remind you of the new me." "Well then, from this moment on, Adam and I will make lots of sweet memories with this sweater," Amber said as she took out the gift from the box. However, a second later, the curve of her lips froze. Turned out, there was another sweater in the box. "You

"Hey," Amber said, reluctant to call her brother-in-law’s name, "Ruby wants to talk to you." In an instant, Ed's eyes widened. Without further ado, he entered through the gap between Amber and the door. "Has Ruby changed her mind?" Adam inquired as he rose from his seat. After closing the door, he guided his wife to sit down carefully. "No." Confused, the man's eyebrows arched perfectly. "So?" "Ruby wants to end their relationship as soon as possible. That way, she can stay at Mr. Berg's residence without any worries," Amber explained before raising an eyebrow. "How about you? Did something happen while I was inside?" Lifting the corners of his lips, Adam kissed his wife's hand. "Believe it or not, I feel nothing. Yes, I'm annoyed to see Ed. But knowing he's got what he deserves, I don't feel relieved either, like nothing's changed." "Because no matter what happens to them, our lives will still be the same?" "Yes." As h
