“… I, I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Ulric leaned down, his handsome face close to hers. “Then what did you mean by ‘nibbling and biting’?”
Rosalind immediately averted her gaze, pretending to be calm. “Mr. Walters, are you saying you have a sexless marriage? We’ve all been there, do I need to spell it out?”
“Heh.” Ulric looked at her and suddenly laughed. “You’re blushing.”
Rosalind was at a loss for words.
She looked at the man in front of her as if she didn’t recognize him!
When did Ulric become so shameless?
“We’re already out of the car, come inside and have something to eat.”
Ulric didn’t give her a chance to refuse and walked away.
Rosalind stood there for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and followed him.
She just hoped Jake wouldn’t act too obvious when he saw her…
…
As soon as the door opened, the first thing that could be seen was Jake fiddling with his computer on the sofa in the living room.
Hearing the noise, he knew his “lunch” had arrived! He shuffled towards the entrance in his slippers, but before he could say anything, two familiar figures appeared before him.
Rosalind quickly signaled to Jake with her eyes.
Fortunately, Ulric didn’t linger at the entrance but headed straight to the kitchen, giving them a moment alone!
Even so, Rosalind didn’t dare to let her guard down.
“Hello there, little one.”
She squatted down and pretended it was their first meeting, shaking Jake’s hand.
Jake got goosebumps from her words! It was hilarious.
He glanced towards the kitchen and said helplessly, “Mommy, you don’t need to worry. There are no cameras in this house.”
Jake was smart enough to know what his mommy was wary of.
“Are you sure?” Rosalind raised an eyebrow, her eyes still scanning the surroundings cautiously.
What if Ulric had installed cameras to test her?
“Don’t worry, I’m sure there are no cameras in this house.” Jake tilted his head and looked at her. “Are you here to take me away?”
“No, Ulric wants to test my relationship with you. That’s why he brought me here.”
“Oh…” Jake’s eyes lit up with a plan. “Then I’ll say I hate you and tell you not to come near me. That way he won’t bring you here again.”
Rosalind thought about it and nodded. “Good idea!”
But then she reconsidered and found something off. “Wait a minute… you seem very close to him!”
From the moment she entered Easthaven Bay until now, she hadn’t seen any signs that Jake came to find Ulric for revenge.
They seemed to be getting along very well!
Ulric even came back home in the middle of the day specifically to cook for Jake. And Jake wasn’t surprised at all; it seemed like this wasn’t the first time but rather a common occurrence.
“…”
Jake hesitated for a moment, then awkwardly lowered his voice. “His cooking is too good! And he can teach me computer networking! I’ll postpone my revenge for now.”
Rosalind frowned helplessly. “Jake, do you know how worried we are about you?”
“You don’t need to worry about me. You can see I’m doing well here!”
“…”
Before Rosalind could say another word, Ulric walked out of the kitchen.
She hadn’t reacted yet when Jake spoke up first. “I don’t like her! Can you make her leave?”
Ulric looked over while wiping his hands and raised an eyebrow. “Jake, Rosalind is just here for a meal.”
“I don’t care! If she’s here, I won’t eat!”
Jake had some acting skills; his displeased look made it seem like he was about to throw a tantrum any second!
