Eva was petrified. She felt as if she had encountered a cold current from the north pole and his whole
body had been frozen. The good impression of Jim just disappeared.
Jim picked up the fork again and began to eat the noodles gracefully. The fragrance spilled from the
plate and filled every corner of the room. From time to time, he stole glances at Eva, watching the
covetous expression on her face.
Eva stood aside, staring blankly. Her heart was like hundreds of horses galloping and trampling, and
thousands of daggers piercing and tearing. It was not because that she was too desirous to eat, but
because the deepest shadow in her childhood was stirred up.
"Take your time. I'm going back to the hotel." Then she turned around and walked outside.
"It's ten degrees below zero outside." Jim's voice came from behind. The heaven pepper was the most
afraid of cold.
"It doesn't matter," Eva said stubbornly and didn't stop.
"Do you have a car?" Jim frowned.
"As long as I have feet." She strode to the door. As soon as she opened it, a gust of cold wind came,
blowing on her face, as painful as a knife. She gritted her teeth and walked out without hesitation.
"Damn it!" Jim cursed from his throat. According to her personality of being impulsive and stubborn to
the end, even if he was frozen into an ice stick outside, she would not return.
The polar lights were still shining in the sky, adding a glimmer of light to the cold and dark night.
Following the memory of the way she was coming, Eva hurried back. She had planned to call her
assistant and ask her to drive the car of the crew to pick her up, but she didn't expect that her phone
had been damn left in the hotel.
She was so sad that tears kept gushing out and froze on her face as soon as they fell. She was so cold
that the blood in her body seemed to freeze.
Her pace became slower and slower, and it was more and more difficult for her to walk. Her legs began
to become stiff, and her hands could no longer use strength.
She seriously suspected that she would freeze to death here alive.
She really hoped that Vinton could appear at this time and hold her in his warm arms. Vinton was the
only man in the world who could make her feel safe and warm.
He would never make her angry, quarrel with her, say something that would make her sad, or do
anything that would make her sad. Meeting him was the luckiest thing in her life, and meeting the scum
Jim was the most unlucky thing in her life.
While she was thinking, a strong force like a tornado came from behind, and then she fell into a
domineering, solid and warm embrace.
She screamed. When she turned around and saw the handsome face, her body trembled for a
moment. Then she wanted to punch him, but her arms were frozen and she couldn't use her strength at
all.
Jim seemed to have seen through her intention. A touch of arrogance flashed across his eyes. "If you
don't want to freeze to death, just cooperate." He felt that her body was as cold as iron.
She bit her lips and stopped talking. Even if she wanted to resist, her hands and feet were too stiff to
use any strength. "Put me down. I'll walk myself."
"According to your speed, you will be froze into ice stick before arriving at the villa. I don't want to
freeze to death with you," he said coldly and strode back.
Being held horizontally by him, she was extremely embarrassed. She had a fiance, so how could she
let other men hold her casually? Fortunately, there was no one here. If the paparazzi took pictures of
her, she would definitely be misunderstood by Vinton, and she couldn't explain herself even if she
jumped into Yellow River.
However, she had to admit that his embrace was very warm, like a furnace to a person who was about
to freeze to death. She subconsciously curled up and greedily sucked his heat.
"You are so boring that you can't even make a joke." Jim's low voice came from above with a hint of
mockery.
She raised her eyes and glared at him. "Is it fun to tease me?"
He lowered his head and looked at her face. When he saw the tears on her eyelashes and cheeks, his
heart trembled unconsciously. If he had been a little late, this heaven pepper would have turned into
frozen pepper.
"I just want to see how greedy the cat will be when it can't eat the thing it wanted to eat. I didn't expect
that you didn't cooperate at all."
A hint of sadness passed through Eva's face. She bit her lips and said slowly, "When I was a child, I
went to the York family every month to ask for living expenses. He never gave it to me right away.
Instead, he asked me to stand by and watch them finish their dinner slowly. The four of them were
eating a table of dishes, talking and laughing happily. I was so hungry that I couldn't go home for
dinner. I could only stand in the corner like a beggar waiting for charity, looking at them. They would eat
fruits after dinner and never care if I was still hungry or if I could still stand there. At that time, I felt like I
was in hell, suffering every minute. So I hate to see others eat. I hate it! "
Tears welled up in her eyes. She shook them hard to prevent them from falling. A drop of tear splashed
on his arm and instantly condensed into ice.
His heart twisted, and the sneer and ridicule on his face quietly disappeared, replaced by a faint layer
of pity and apology.
When another drop of tear was about to fall from the corner of her eyes, he could not help but lower his
head.
This action startled Eva and himself.
"Scum Jim, you... Put me down. I can walk by myself. " A sense of embarrassment flushed her two
cheeks.
"Don't think too much. I just hate to see women cry." Jim coughed to cover his embarrassment.
Eva was speechless. What kind of strange man was he?
While she was depressed, Jim had already walked to the gate of the villa. She pushed the door open
and walked into the warm room. Her almost condensed blood also slowly warmed up.
He handed her a thick wool blanket and a cup of hot tea and went into the kitchen.
She didn't know what he was going to do, but she didn't care. She curled up on the sofa and drank tea
to warm herself up.
After a while, Jim came out with Italian spaghetti with meat Sauce in one hand and beef steak in the
other. One was compensation, and the other was extra 'bonus'.
"Replenish the heat." When he put the noodles and beef steak in front of her, she was shocked with her
two eyes wide open. Did he go to the kitchen just to cook for her?
She swallowed hard and turned her head aside stubbornly. "I'm not hungry."
"Then I'll throw it away." With an expressionless face, Jim stretched out his hand and was about to take
the plate. Almost subconsciously, she quickly opened her hands and grabbed the plate. "Don't throw it.
It's shameful to waste food."
"If you don't eat, it will be a waste to put it here, either." The corners of Jim's beautiful mouth lifted
slightly, revealing a secret smile. He knew that this heaven pepper was already very greedy, but she
could not eat it out of her suffer just now, so he created a buffer for her.
Eva was also good at taking advantage of the situation. She never vented her anger on her stomach or
delicious food. "Well, for the sake of your hard work, I will eat reluctantly. It's a virtue to cherish food."
Then she picked up the knife and fork.
She cut a piece of steaming beef steak and put it into her mouth. 'Oh, my God! The food is so delicious
that I want to scream.' It was scorched outside and tender inside, and the taste was immediately
melted. It was really unparalleled delicious.
"Scum Jim, you are the reincarnation of the God of food. Otherwise, how could you make such
delicious food?" she said in a muffled voice as she wolfed down her food. All her previous resentment
against Jim vanished. In fact, this man was not bad, but very evil, even more evil than the demon.
Jim leaned against the sofa, crossed his legs and 'appreciated' her appalling eating. Seeing that this
heaven pepper was so fond of the food he cooked, he felt a great sense of satisfaction.
This woman was actually very easy to coax. As long as her stomach was soothed, her face
immediately smiled brightly.
The happiness of a foodie was really simple.
At midnight, the Rong Mansion was quiet and peaceful, and everyone was sleeping.
Director Liu of the security department led several subordinates to lurk in the depths of the bamboo
forest and secretly observed the situation around the ghost yard. He wanted to see if it was a ghost or
a human being.
However, the ghost yard was unusually quiet tonight. They didn't notice anything until dawn.
Today was weekend. Early in the morning, Essie and Zac brought the children to the Rong Mansion.
She was eager to know if the security department had found any clues.
Hearing director Liu's report, she sighed. Maybe the ghost in red was locked too tight inside and
wanted to make a joke on the people outside.
Mili made a new friend in the Rong Mansion. She was Shyla, the six year old daughter of Rachel, a
servant.
"Sister Shyla, let's play Chinese Checker together." Mili held her hand.
"Okay, my lady." Shyla nodded with a smile.
"Don't always call me lady. Mili is fine." Mili waved her hand. She thought this address estranged them.
"But my mother said it was impolite to call your name." Shyla lowered her head. Although she was only
six years old, she already knew that there was a huge gap between her and Mili's status. Mili was
above her, and she was just her servant.
"Sister Shyla, we are good friends. We don't need to care about anything between friends," Mili said
seriously.
Shyla grinned and nodded, "Okay, I'll call you Mili from now on."
Essie asked the servant to bring fruits and desserts to the two of them and let them eat and play.
Shyla ate a piece of cheese cake and licked her lips. Her big eyes blinked two times and a mysterious
light came out. "Mili, you are my best friend, so I have to tell you a secret."
"What secret?" Mili asked curiously.
"Last night, I saw aunt ghost in the yard when I was playing hide and seek with brother Jimmy." Shyla
half covered her mouth. Although her voice was low, Essie, who was sitting not far away, still heard it
faintly. She felt a violent spasm all over her body.
