She coughed suddenly, her allergy acting up again after inhaling the smoke earlier.
Didn’t Jeremy know to switch on the hood?
“What’s wrong, Lyse? Did you catch a cold?” Jeremy asked worriedly.
Alyssa covered her mouth and mumbled, “I’m fine. I’m just allergic to smoke. I just need some fresh air.”
Allergic… to smoke?
Jeremy’s eyes widened in shock.
When did she get this allergy? Or had she always had it and he just hadn’t known?
Had Alyssa spent those three years cooking for his entire family while suffering from her allergy like this?
Alyssa had just taken the frying pan from him when Jeremy hugged her tightly from behind.
“How am I supposed to cook with you like this?” she asked.
“Don’t. Don’t cook anymore.” Jeremy buried his face in her neck, pain filling his eyes.
“Let me do it for you from now on. I’ll learn to cook whatever it is your want to eat.”
“No need. You don’t have the talent.” The moment Alyssa said that, she pursed her l*ps tightly. It felt like she had misspoken.
For a moment, she had made it sound like they were an old married couple. It was as if she had acquiesced to a shared future together.
Jeremy didn’t pursue the matter. All he could think about was how quilty he felt about Alyssa’s allergy.
“Don’t cook. I’ll get Xavier to buy us breakfast or cook something for us himself. His cooking may not be as good as Sean’s, but it’ll do,” Jeremy said.
He noticed that Alyssa was barefoot and frowned before lifting her up into his arms.
“Ah! What are you doing?” Alyssa hurriedly clung onto his shoulders.
“Don’t you know to take better care of yourself? How could you walk barefoot here? The floor is so cold,” Jeremy said.
He set Alyssa down on the table and knelt down before her. He then cupped one of Alyssa’s feet in his hands.
Jeremy’s familiar warmth seeped into her skin, heating her up and making her narrow her eyes lightly in pleasure. She didn’t want to reveal it too much, though.
“Rosie told me it’s important for women to keep their feet warm, or else they get sick when they’re old. Jeremy gazed lovingly at Alyssa.
“Don’t walk barefoot anymore.”
“I was worried, so I forgot,” Alyssa blurted out, feeling like she was being disciplined.
Jeremy was surprised by this admission. He smiled, amused.” Worried? Worried about what? That might’ve left?”
Alyssa blushed upon hearing this. Her feet even curled up in his grasp.
“I would never leave before you wake up. Never,” Jeremy said.
How could he?
What he would give to be able to move in with her and sleep beside her every single night until all she could think about was him…
Jeremy gently ran his hands up her calves as he stood up. His hands. stopped at her waist as he leaned in to k*ss her forehead.
But Jeremy wasn’t so easily satisfied. He never was when it came to Alyssa.
Her skin seemed to grow warmer and warmer as it reddened under Jeremy’s touch. Though they had already done it all, Alyssa still found herself eager and shy when they were intimate.
Just before Jeremy k*ssed her on the l*ps, the doorbell rang.
Jeremy wanted to ignore it, but it wouldn’t stop.
That damned cockblocker!
Alyssa cleared her throat awkwardly and pushed him away. “What’s going on? Why is someone at the door? Only my brothers and I know about this place. They have the access code to the door.”
“It’s Xavier,” Jeremy grumbled at the thought of his secretary.
“I told him to come find me here once he has information.”
“What information?”
“Information about Sophia and that killer.”
Alyssa’s eyes instantly brightened. She leapt off the table, but before her feet landed on the floor, Jeremy lifted her into his arms.
“Don’t let your feet touch the floor. You don’t have shoes on,” he said.
Alyssa’s eyes widened in surprise at how strong Jeremy was. When she had been a child, Winston had often held her up like this in his
What wonderful testosterone…
Despite Alyssa’s objections, Jeremy walked to the entrance and opened the door.
“Mr. Walsh?”
Jeremy appeared in front of Xavier, carrying Alyssa bridal style in his arms. The two of them also looked unkempt, as if they had just woken up.
Oh my god… oh my god!
Xavier’s jaw dropped. He saw them in a completely different light. His imagination ran wild, and his face turned red.
Did this mean that his dream couple had finally reunited? Could he finally die in peace now?
“Put me down, Jeremy!” Alyssa cried out in his ear. She felt so awkward that she wanted to dig a hole for herself.
“Can he come in, Ms. Alyssa?” Jeremy asked her in a soft, gentle voice while fixing his gaze on her.
Alyssa was completely subdued in front of Xavier. She stared at Jeremy angrily, but could only nod.
“Ah, can I come in too, then?”
Both Jeremy’s and Alyssa’s eyes widened at the sound of a familiar voice. To their surprise, Landon appeared from behind Xavier!
He narrowed his sharp eyes as he looked them up and down gleefully. His sly smile made them want to punch him in the face!
“Congratulations!”
“What are you congratulating me for?” Jeremy glared at him impatiently.
“Congratulations for finally not having to stand outside, waiting to be struck by lightning,” replied Landon as he smirked at Alyssa.
Alyssa was speechless.
Jeremy’s charming face was absolutely gloomy now. “You! If you have something to say, say it. Otherwise, bugger off.”
“I do, I do! I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t have anything to say. Sweet couple, I’m allowed to come in, right?” Landon asked with a cheeky expression on his face.
“Come in,” Jeremy conceded.
Alyssa yelled, “We’re no couple!”
Landon didn’t care. He dashed in shamelessly.
Jeremy put Alyssa down, then knelt down to put her shoes on for her.
After she put her indoor sl*ppers on, she distanced herself from him quickly. Contrary to her intentions, her actions made her look even more guilty.
The four of them entered the living area. Jeremy sat as closely as he could, right next to Alyssa. He then reached out naturally to put his arm around her waist.
She shunned him by squirming away mercilessly.
