The three of them went back home after staying with He's family for hours. 

As they arrived, Hazel stared at the Gundam model in her hand with excitement written on her face. After attending Alex's birthday, Ethan had given both Hazel and Tyler a box of those models as a gift for participating in Alex's birthday party.

Because she has been helping Alex with those models for years, Edith was aware of the price and the one that Ethan had given away was not cheap at all. Fortunately, there was only Hazel and Tyler at the birthday party.

Hazel was too excited to have her own Gundam model for the first time. She pulled Edith into her room and the two spend their time together building them. 

Hazel was reminded that Alex had once told her how Edith had helped him with constructing the model. Now that she got to build them with Edith, Hazel was naturally happy. Once she returned to kindergarten, she was planning to show-off to Alex that she too had built a model with their teacher.

Neil, who knew nothing about building this model could only look at the two girls discussing the model with envy.

Seeing that the two girls were having fun for hours without him, Neil finally walked over to Hazel and reminded her that she needed to go to bed.

After accompanying Hazel to take her bath and sleep, Edith walked out and closed the door slowly. Habitually, she went downstairs to drink some water before she was going back to her room.

When she walked into the kitchen, Neil was sitting at the bar area. There was a mug on the bar counter and Neil was playing with his phone. His pose was as if he was waiting for her.

Ever since she moved in, the two of them would often meet in the kitchen around this time. Most of the time, she would be having her midnight snack and Neil would accompany her and they would talk about Hazel.

It seemed that meetings like this have become a habit and their topic of conversation had moved into different things as well.

Edith crossed her arms on her chest and stood silently as she admired the man's broad shoulder. Then, she walked over with a playful smile on her face. "Handsome, what would you like to drink."

Hearing her voice, Neil looked up from his phone and smiled. "Is Hazel asleep?"

Edith turned around to grab a glass of water and nodded. "Hmm… she fell asleep a while ago." She started to talk about how excited Hazel was with her new model and noticed that the man has not responded to her.

Turning around, Edith caught the way Neil was staring at her. His eyes were hooded and he was unblinking. Suddenly, Edith was uneasy. 

Neil stood up and walked over to her with his gaze never left her for a second. His lips tilted up slightly as Edith took a step back.

She put the glass on the counter and chuckled. "What is it?"

"We haven't finished our talk."

Edith recalled their conversation at Alex's birthday party and suddenly felt embarrassed. Now that she thought back about what she had said to him, Edith realized that she was indeed shameless.

"What talk?" Edith decided that in this situation, it was best to pretend that she knew nothing.

Neil put his hands on the kitchen counter, entrapping Edith between his arms. Then, he bent slightly to get to her height. Soon, the two of them were looking eye to eye.

"What are you doing?" Edith asked. 

"Now that I am in front of you, are you able to hold yourself?" He tilted his head sideways and the smile on his face turned playful. "Your thoughts are not running wild again?"

Edith stared at the handsome man in front of her and swallowed. His dark eyes were staring into hers and she was unable to look away. Under the dim light, his face seemed more attractive.

Was her darling trying to seduce her?

Suddenly, Edith could see that the angel and devil on her shoulders appeared again. One of them was giving her suggestions and urging her to make her move, while the other was advising her not to do something that she would regret.

Neil leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear. "Why don't you tell me what you want to do to me?" 

His deep, hoarse voice was tickling her ears. Edith thought that the devil on her shoulder was almost winning. 

The man was smiling seductively and her composure was wavering. Edith thought that she was unable to look away from his thin lips. 

"Or else, you can tell me what you want me to do to you?"

Edith was suddenly reminded of what happened in his office and the way he has been kissing her. A strange sensation spread throughout her body and her cheek blushed as Edith tried to dispel her perverted thoughts.

The smile on his face widened and Neil ran his finger on her cheek. He glanced at her lips and snapped back to look into her eyes. "What were you thinking about?"

Instinctively, Edith leaned forward to kiss him, but Neil backed away slightly and stopped her.

"Tell me."

Edith bit at her lips and stared at him in aggrieved. This man was bullying her, right? She had told him how his presence could affect her, but now that he had this information, he was using this to bully her!

His expression grew softer when he thought that the silly woman might cry if he continued to tease her.

Neil thought that his silly woman looked adorable with her misty eyes. Knowing what was playing in her when he was near her made him excited. However, he had to restrain himself for her.

He has been thinking about her words and finally understood that this woman wanted him as much as he does. However, at this moment, she was not ready to move into that phase.

They both understood that their relationship would change once they slept with each other. Until she was ready for it, he can only wait and help her to be ready.

Neil hold her gaze and spoke, "As a man, it would be impossible to say that I didn't want to do more than a kiss. But, Edith, we still have a long time together and I can wait. I will not do anything you are not ready for. Therefore, you have to speak to me, alright?" He stretched his hand and played with a few strands of her hair. "What can I do and what I shouldn't do, you have to tell me everything. If you don't say it, then I wouldn't know anything. Do you understand?"

Edith nodded once and swallowed. She stared at his lips again and debated with herself for a long time before she spoke, "Kiss me. I just want you to kiss me."

"Alright." His fingers stopped playing with her hair and moved to cup her face.. Then, slowly, he moved closer and placed his lips on hers.
