Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold S2| 10. The Lingering Feelings
Seeing Adam putting the firewood into the bag, Ruby widened a smile. She never expected that her ex could change so drastically. Adam was now much stockier than Ed, much more mature, and much more seductive. The last point made Ruby not hesitate to approach and touch his arm. "Do you need help?" Adam spontaneously turned around and stared. He couldn't believe that his ex dared to follow him. "What are you doing here?" he whispered as if Amber was near them. “I feel useless if I sit still. So, wouldn't it be better if I helped you?" Casually, Ruby walked towards the pile of wood. But before she could touch it, Adam had already jerked her back. “Quickly get out of here! I don't need your help. Amber could misunderstand seeing you here with me, even if your intention were to help.” Instead of responding, Ruby looked at the hand that was holding her arm. Stifling a smile, she returned Adam's gaze. "Why are you so afraid of your wife? Is the trust between you that fragile?” “Stop yo
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold S2| 11. Ruby's Recklessness
"This is so unfair," Ruby sighed before looking down and gripping her anger tightly. “I have always loved sincerely. But, why do you never respect me?” “Don't twist the facts, Mad Witch. You don't really love my husband. All you want is security,” Amber said with a small laugh. Raising her head, Ruby shouted. “Shut up! You don't know anything about us!" "You're the one who doesn't understand the truth. You said that I was Adam's runaway. In fact, you're the one who ran to him to hide from reality." Ruby's hand suddenly flew to Amber's cheek. But, before her palm landed, Adam had already brushed it off. Apparently, he had been on alert from the start. “How dare you hurt my wife? You've crossed the line, Ruby. Pack all your things right now! I can't let you stay here anymore." "But Adam—" "Now!" The man interrupted in a booming voice. Even the pine trees seemed to tremble at his anger. Meanwhile, Ruby's heart was breaking into pieces. She began to have difficulty breathing with
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold S2| 12. Tea from Ruby
Amber examined her own body with a confused look. Instead of worrying, she blinked at Adam. “Isn't this normal? People often have a fever in welcoming spring.” "It's still winter and the temperature hasn't gone up. You must be exhausted because of Ruby. Come on, you should rest now.” Adam helped his wife to her feet and guided her to the room. “I just have a fever, Jewel. Why are you treating me like a 90-year-old grandma?” “Don't protest! Just rest in the bed. I'll bring you hot milk and apples. You need to recharge immediately." Getting that much attention, Amber smiled. While hugging her husband, she rested her head on his shoulder. "You don't have to bring that. Just be with me! I'll be fine right away." "No, you need hot milk and apples. I will accompany you after preparing it.” As soon as the door closed, Ruby's eyes slowly opened. Turning towards the bedroom, she snorted in annoyance. “I almost died. But, why is she getting more attention?” When the door opened again, Ru
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold S2| 13. I Can Satisfy You
"What's that?" Adam asked with furrowed brows. Before the man's suspicions exploded, Ruby quickly answered. "Isn't this your favorite drink? I tried to follow the recipe from the internet. I hope it tastes the same as what your wife brewed.” There's absolutely no weight to Ruby's tone. However, it was not enough to convince Adam. The man was still motionless with his gaze locked on the thin steam rising from the surface of the tea. "Why are you silent? Do you mind drinking it? You think I have the heart to put poison in here?” Ruby asked in a disappointed tone. Despair returned to her face. Worried that his ex might act recklessly again, Adam took the cup. “No, I'm just … glad that you have good intentions to mend our relationship.” The pale woman curled up her lips wider. "Then drink it quickly. The tea won't taste good when it's cold." Adam took a sip of the drink he received. After one gulp, he nodded and lifted the cup higher. "Thank you. It's tasty." “Good! Now, please con
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold S2| 14. Ruby's Incitement
"Amber, please come out for a second! We need to talk." Hearing the call from outside the door, Amber was wide-eyed. Questioningly, she studied her husband's eyes. "Ruby was looking for me? Not looking for you? What does she want?" Adam's brows began to furrow in displeasure. Worry had added to his body heat. He was sure Ruby was still wearing the thin night gown. A fight would definitely happen if Amber saw it. "Ignore her! She must be deliberately trying to annoy us," Adam muttered before breaking into a smile and gently caressing his wife's face. However, just as he was about to come closer, the sound of knocking again stole the attention. "Amber, can't you hear me? We need to talk. There's something you need to know about Adam." The man's anxiety could no longer be suppressed. While gritting his teeth, he grabbed his phone and turned on a playlist at maximum volume. "You really don't want to be bothered, apparently," Amber talked without a sound. Reading her mouth movement,
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold S2| 15. Mark on Adam's Neck
Seeing the tears of anger welling up on Amber's eyes, Ruby snorted lightly. While folding her arms in front of her chest, she added to the fire in the woman's heart. “I wonder why you trust your husband so easily. You should have been suspicious to see us whispering affectionately this morning. You know what Adam actually said to me?” Ruby placed a hand beside her mouth and whispered, "He doesn't know how to start getting rid of you." Unexpectedly, Amber's hand flew towards Ruby's head. With all her might, she gripped the hair that always bothered her eyes. "Hey!" Ruby spontaneously grimaced and bowed. Her scalp could be pulled out if she did not follow the direction of Amber's movement. "I can't be patient with you anymore. Evil witch like you doesn't deserve help. You should just freeze in that pool!” Without the slightest bit of pity, Amber dragged the Red Hair out. She did not care if that woman groaned in pain and scratched her hand. She just wanted her to leave their house
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold S2| 16. A Hard Slap
"Stop it, Adam! Please give me some time. I don't want to hear anything from you now," Amber said, closing her eyes. Dizziness began to shake her head. “But Precious—” “I said stop!” she rebuked in a boiling voice. Her hands were raised to cover her red ears. "Don't explain anything else! I don't want to know." Adam was getting more and more congested seeing Amber's suffering. He did not dare to speak anymore, worried that his words would add to the thorn in his wife's heart. Swallowing hard, she shifted closer. His hand reached out to the shoulder burdened with sadness. Unfortunately, when he was about to arrive, Amber had already run into the house. “Precious ....” Adam could only stare at his wife's back with teary eyes. He wanted to hug her, say sorry and all regrets. However, he understood that it was not the thing that could restore trust, but proof. "You!" he rebuked as he turned to face Ruby. But, the woman wore a triumphant smile. She was not afraid of the pointed index
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold S2| 17. Separated
"Mom?" Adam sighed in disbelief. His feet subconsciously moved backwards, pushed away by the shock. "How could you hurt my daughter? I have put great hope and trust in you. But it turns out, you dare to turn me down?” Mrs. Lim rebuked as she poked her son-in-law's shoulder with an index finger. As he had not regained his senses, Adam just kept, silent observing the situation. He realized that the woman in front of him was burning with emotion, while his wife, who sat on the bed, was staring at her mother in confusion. However, his brain kept failing to come up with a solution. It was only when his gaze fell on the smiling red-haired woman behind Mrs. Lim that his tongue could overcome the stiffness. “What did you say to my mother-in-law to make her this angry?” he sighed in annoyance. "Stop pretending, Adam!" Mrs. Lim said while pointing her index finger at him. "I know you have an affair. How could you?" "Having an affair?" The man was shaken to hear the words come out of Mrs. L

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
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold S2| 51. Part of History
"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
