Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 24. You Know My Size
"You already touched me since the beginning?" Amber accused in a displeased tone. "No, it's not like that. You know that I've been married before. Of course I know a woman's size at one glance," Adam explained flatly. "When we were in that small town, you said you didn't know my size. Were you lying?" Amber's tone was getting higher. Once again, the widower scratched his ear. "I had to tell the lie to avoid a fuss," he said almost inaudibly. Before the woman vented her anger, he quickly handed over the next bag. "I bought this for you too. You'll need it." With a wrinkled face, Amber looked into the bag. As soon as she found a variety of beauty products, her annoyance was replaced by surprise. "How did you know I was wearing this brand?" the woman inquired while picking up the concealer she had been looking for. "Didn't you recommend it on your social media?" In an instant, Amber gaped. "Did you spy on me?" "I’m not a spy. I just don't want you to waste my gift on the wrong b
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 25. You Touch Me, I Touch You
"Sorry I call you now. I was still with Julian and Mia earlier. So, how are you doing? What do you mean everything's under control? Have you left the cottage? Or maybe, you’ve killed that jerk?" Hearing how Sebastian called him, Adam gave a faint snort. As he continued to walk towards the chair by the window, he said, "Sorry. Amber is sleeping. When she wakes up, I'll make sure she calls you right away." The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Adam's voice managed to surprise the caller. "Who is this? Where's Amber?" Sebastian asked in a confused tone. "Amber is sleeping." Adam repeated the statement with more emphasis. "You don't have to worry. She's fine." In an instant, Sebastian's snort rattled the speakerphone. "Are you Mr. Smith?" Hearing the cynical tone, Adam smiled lopsidedly. "Yes." "Is Amber really sleeping? You didn't keep her in a room, did you?" "You have high imaginations, Sir. But no, I'm not a psychopath," Adam said in a low voice. His expression was hard to rea
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 26. Traces of Your Touch
"You want to cheat, huh?" Adam sighed with high arched brows. “If you don't want to be touched, you should be more careful about moving your hands.” Amber bit her lip. Her fists clenched tightly, admitting the guilt. "It’s not about cheating. You know that ... here is a woman's private part, right? How could I let you touch it?” “Not only women, but men too!” the Crazy Bear rebutted while putting on a look of contempt. "Your people are not allowed to touch our people arbitrarily. It's also harassment." "But I didn't mean to. If you repay the deed, it's on purpose. That is harassment." Amber was starting to look desperate. Her feet slowly moved back, taking distant from the man. Little by little, Adam moved forward. His jaw hardened demanding justice. "I can't let you free anymore. I've given you too much leeway." "What do you mean? I never touched you," the woman argued with full conviction. But, a second later, she was wide-eyed. Her movement was just stopped by the table. "Do
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 27. Off Guard
"Aren't you going to teach me? But, why are you bringing that shovel?" Amber asked when she found Adam walking towards the door. The man was in outdoor costume. "I have to get some wood from the barn. Our stock is running low." After a blink, the woman reached for her coat. "Then I'm coming. So next time, I can do this job for you." Hearing Miss Lim's initiative, Adam furrowed his brows. "You're not a spoiled girl anymore, apparently." "Since in the first place, I wasn't. You're the only one who judged me that way," Amber replied as she grabbed the flashlight and patted Mr. Cold's arm. "Let's hurry!" Excitedly, the woman led the way. She didn't know that Adam was staring at the traces of her touch. “That girl … does she still not know? You always make a big mess in my heart, Amber." He followed as the sigh of despair escaped his mouth. While Adam was busy shoveling the snow that blocked the barn door, Amber looked up at the star-filled sky. Her face was sad and full of longing.
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 28. I'll Drag You to My Bed
Behind the eyes that almost jumped out, her brain began to work hard to bend the truth. “Oh, that … I mean … he's both my fiancé and best friend. But we treat each other like friends. Isn't that more familiar?” Snorting a laugh, Adam continued his work. "Well, well. Best friend disguises as fiancé. You guys are so good at lying to me." "We're not lying. We're already engaged," Amber said in a pushy way. "Then, where is your engagement ring?" With a tense expression, the woman pointed towards the road. "The robbers took it." Shaking his head, Adam cleaned his gloves from dust. “Enough, Miss Lim. You may be able to lie to other people, but not me. Your lips are slightly pursed every time you tell a lie." Amber spontaneously pulled her lips back. "No. I'm not lying," she said in a low voice and a strange expression. "In your opinion, what punishment is appropriate for an apprentice who lies to her teacher?" Mr. Cold folded his arms across his chest and began to pinch his chin. “Sh
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 29. Dare to Disobey
Hearing the defense, the designer was stunned. "You came all the way here with an empty brain?" "No. I know a lot about jewelry. It's just that, I haven't thought about the brand yet. I'd like to just learn the basics for now. After that, I’ll think of going a step further." "What kind of jewelry do you want to make?" Adam interrupted loudly. Amber shrugged hesitantly. "I don't know. Maybe bracelets, necklaces, earrings—all the luxurious jewelry." Adam snorted and looked away. "You insist on learning from the best designer. But it turns out, your intentions aren't clear." "My intentions are clear. I love jewelry. I want to make the best of it and give my first piece to little Evans to keep my promise," Amber said without feeling guilty. "But that's not enough, Miss Lim. Jewelry isn't just a symbol of luxury. It's also about the message you want to convey through it." Seeing the firmness in Adam's eyes, Amber was silent. Her hand secretly gripped the book tighter. "Today, think
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 30. You Must Be Punished
"You're the one who likes to touch me. Just look at your hands," Amber protested, not wanting to show any awkwardness. Instead of letting go, Adam shook the palm in his grip. "I'm doing this as a precaution. You started the case. If you don't bother with my things, I won't hold you." "All right, I won't touch anything else. Now, please show me your new project, Mister Smith." Amber was too lazy to argue. "Okay." The designer's expression instantly turned serious. His eyebrows were no longer arched high and the corners of his lips were stiff. "But before that, you have to promise me." "Promise what?" Amber asked in a displeased tone. She thought that man still kidding. "You will hold my big secret. So, promise not to betray me," Adam pleaded earnestly. Knowing Mr. Smith's seriousness, the apprentice didn't grimace anymore. "Don't worry. I won't share this information to anyone." "Nice." A second later, Adam freed Amber’s hands. With a leisurely motion, he pulled out the paper c
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 31. Pounding in the Chest
"If it's not valuable, it's impossible for archaeologists being excited to find it. You offended them, Miss Lim,” Adam muttered while still playing with his apprentice's black hair. "That's a different case. They look for amber to study dinosaurs and other ancient creatures, not for jewelry. Either way, a stone can never match a diamond." A second later, Amber pushed harder. “Now let me go! I'm hungry and it's time for lunch." Suddenly, Adam grabbed one of her hands and brought his head forward. "Do you know why your parents gave you that name?" "Why?" the woman replied fiercely. "You and that stone are both sensitive and brittle." Amber's annoyance suddenly exploded. "Are you making fun of me?" She tried to sound fierce even though her heart was still pounding with nervousness. "Just telling the truth," Adam sighed as he closed the distance. The woman could then feel his breath. "But, on the other hand, both of you are attractive." Unexpectedly, the man landed a kiss on Amber'
