Amber's steps turned slow as her eyes caught Ruby in the kitchen. The red-haired woman was busy moving the utensils to the sink. Without touching the strawberry cake and two lunchboxes on the table, she began to wipe vigorously. "What are you doing?" Amber asked displeased. Hurriedly, she came closer to check. "Hi!" Ruby replied, making her flinch. Since when did the Red Witch turn friendly? "Are you done with your business? I'm confused what to do. Instead of wasting time, I make a lasagna. Consider it as my gratitude!" With a suspicious look, Amber followed the pointed index finger. Turned out, Adam's new oven was on. "You can make lasagna?" she sighed spontaneously. "Isn't that easy? All we have to do is baking the pasta stuffed with meat, sauce, spices and cheese.” Amber's mouth shut tightly. She did not expect that her enemy was good at cooking. Not wanting to show her insecurity, she put her hands on the waist and raised her chin. “Why don't you ask permission before using

"Get out!" Ruby was rattled by Adam’s voice. The man never shouted that loudly, right in front of her face. "You snapped at me?" she muttered in confusion. A few beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. "I've had enough patience with you. But you're still trying to ruin my relationship. Once again you incite my wife, I will not hesitate to kick you out of this cottage!” With a quick motion, Adam opened the door wider. His forefinger was pointed outwards. "Leave us! Right now!" Ruby did not budge, staring at her ex. Her face was pale, while his eyes were bloodshot. She still couldn't believe that the man who had always been gentle to her could be so rude. "Now!" Adam snarled louder. While wiping away the tears that escaped the eyes, Ruby ran out of the room. She did not know if her plan worked or not. She no longer cared about Amber's response. It hurt too much to know that her ex had really changed. Meanwhile, Adam rushed to close the door. His lungs were filled with worry. Whi

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

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

"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,
