Rachel stomped her feet but was pinned, once again, by Edward on the seat. "Rachel, do you only learn lessons after you break through a wall?"
Rachel glared at Edward. "So what? If it weren't for you, would I walk into a wall?"
Edward rubbed Rachel's head while still bickering with Rachel simultaneously. "Save it. The wall must be miserable to be walked into by someone like you."
...
Rachel brushed away Edward's hand disgustedly. "Go to hell, don't touch me. Not a single good thing has happened to me ever since I met you. It has all gone downhill from there."
Edward nodded while he stroked his chin. "That's because all your luck has been used to meet me."
Rachel raised a finger at Edward dismissively. "Stop trying to say things that are equivalent to verbal dog excrement. If it is really like that, I would rather not meet you at all."
Edward grabbed Rachel's wrist seriously. "Never say things like that ever again."
Rachel lifted her chin with a huff. "So, what if I do?!"
He moved his gaze down toward her hips. "If I hear something like that ever again, your butt will be the prime victim."
Hearing Edward's threat, Rachel shrank backward and instinctively covered her butt.
"Edward! You scoundrel! I'm telling you! If you touch my butt again, I will amputate your third leg!"
Edward half-closed his eyes as a wicked smile appeared on his face. "Oh, is it? I think you might beg me to give it to you once you’ve met him."
Rachel halted and immediately began to flush.
She then stretched her trembling hand out and pointed at Edward while stuttering, "Mr. Driver! This is not the way to the nursery, I wanna get out!"
However, Edward caught Rachel's fingers and pulled her into his arms as he grinned.
"Too late."
After the car had slowed to a stop, Edward carried Rachel in his arms as he walked into the mansion.
The moment they arrived at the password keypad, figurative black lines rolled down Rachel's face.
'This password lock deserves to get some beating!
It was as if Edward could see through Rachel's heart. "Try it and see if you can open the lock."
Rachel nodded after a brief pause. "Let me down and I will try."
So, Edward let Rachel down, but the moment she touched the ground, Rachel took off.
However, Edward had expected that to happen as his hand never left the back of Rachel's collar.
Rachel ran a few steps before she realized that she could not do so and had been running in the same spot.
It was only when she turned around that she noticed her collar had been held onto tightly.
After making a silent curse, she charged forward with her teeth clenched.
A sound of ripped cloth suddenly tore through the air.
Edward's hand was still clutching onto a piece of Rachel's dress.
Edward sat on the sofa quietly and calmly. "I invited you here because I have something to discuss."
So, Rachel sat down cross-armed and huffed. "Spill it, what's the thing?"
Hearing Edward's careful words somehow calmed Rachel. She was so moved that her eyes began to flicker.
Even if Edward was arrogant and deaf to reasons, he was still a man who cared for his children, so he should be a reasonable person.
Edward was a little taken aback. He looked at Rachel on his side. "What can I do to let him know I'm not that cold?"
Rachel thought for a bit. "For example, smile at him when you get home."
When Rachel said that, Edward turned to look at Rachel and managed to squeeze out a slasher smile.
That smile sent chills up Rachel's spine and she could not help but gave Edward a backhand slap on his face.
Although the slap was light, Edward's face immediately darkened.
Rachel was a little dumbfounded, but she quickly smiled at Edward awkwardly after. "I'm so sorry, I–I–I couldn't control myself."
Edward looked at Rachel coldly. "If this happens for the third time, I will definitely take you despite your protest."
Rachel shrank backward a little and coughed twice as she shook her head. "Don't worry, Edward, I will never slap you again even if it means I will pound you to death."
