Revenge is best served cold

Levi looked away from Eric and replied, "Harvey? He's already been taken into custody. There are surveillance cameras everywhere, so he won't be getting out anytime soon."

He then turned to Eric and said, "You're so useless. How could you get cut by a weakling like him?"

Eric sneered and replied, "Who cares? I got hurt saving Jae, so it's all worth it! And since I'm injured, Jae will have to take care of me now."

He then turned to me with that fake innocent act of his and asked, "Isn't that right, Jae?"

I nodded absentmindedly in response.

Upon seeing this, Levi's face twisted with anger, his hands clenching into fists. Yet seeing Eric's state, he had no choice but to give up and say resentfully, "What a schemer."

Eric didn't seem bothered at all. Instead, he grinned triumphantly and said, "It sounds like someone's jealous because they can't have what I have."

Levi merely rolled his eyes, not responding to Eric's taunts.

Just then, I recalled his sudden appearance and asked, "What made you come looking for me?"

Eric had been picking me up from work every evening after our marriage, so it made sense for him to show up at my workplace. Levi, however, had been so preoccupied with the studio lately, and I hadn't seen him for quite some time now.

"It's because I miss you!" Levi replied with a smile, sneaking a glance at Eric. "It's been a while since I last saw you, so, of course, I had to come see you!"

Eric scoffed and said, "It seems like someone's being delusional, thinking they're missed when, in truth, no one even gave them a second thought."

Levi rolled his eyes and ignored Eric before looking at me. "There's something else I need to tell you. You see, the Cornell family has been reaching out about a collaboration these past few days. I've been turning them down, but it doesn't seem like they're giving up anytime soon."

I furrowed my brows and asked, "Is it Jeremiah?"

Levi nodded and said, "Yes, Cornell Group has been sending a few

representatives over to the studio these past few days. I've turned them down, though. They seem quite persistent, so Jeremiah will probably look for you soon."

I nodded in understanding and said, "Got it."

It was only after Levi had left that Eric and I made our way home.

Eric's left shoulder was wounded, so he was back to his previous semi-disabled state. I couldn't help but notice how he fumbled while trying to pick up food with his right hand and missing his mouth every

time. I held back a smile as pulled

my chair to sit next to him.

"What would you like to eat?" I asked as I held the plate, feeling like I was waiting on a king.

Eric stated matter-of-factly, "I'll eat anything you feed me."

Upon hearing that, I suddenly had a mischievous thought. I picked up some ginger from a dish and held it to Eric's mouth, asking, "How about this?"

Eric glanced at the ginger on the fork, then smiled and bit into it.

I was immediately taken aback. I knew Eric didn't like eating ginger after having so many meals together. He could handle the taste of ginger in food but not the ginger itself.

"You..." I trailed off as I watched him swallow the ginger, feeling somewhat flustered.noveldrama

Eric smiled charmingly and said, "I told you that I'd eat anything you serve me."

I quickly fed him a few mouthfuls, then found an excuse to go back to my room. What was going on? His usual subtle teasing was manageable, but this was crossing a line.

It was clear that Eric was a fully grown man who stood at six feet three, yet I actually thought he was kind of cute earlier. I had obviously lost my mind!

I had so much going through my, mind, with all sorts of thoughts battling each other. In the end, it wasn't until the late hours of the night that I finally managed to get some sleep.

I appeared in front of Eric the following day, sporting dark circles under my eyes from lack of sleep.

Eric, the one responsible for it, had an innocent expression as he sat at the dining table, waiting for me to feed him. He asked, "Did you have trouble sleeping last night?"
