Lily was right about one thing… After a night battle, when the sun is up, the relationship would then turn to normal. Well… at least, before she closed her eyes and sleep, her darling's cold gaze had turned warm.

Though she did not own battle armor, her battle instinct was high enough that it had saved her life. 

Edith blinked as she stared at the bare chest in front of her and the memories of last night rushed to her mind.

It turned out that making love to dispel someone else's jealousy could be quite fun. Although she did not enjoy his misunderstanding and jealousy, at least, coaxing him was exciting.

As the thought came to her mind, Edith started to wonder if she should get them into another misunderstanding so that she could enjoy the process of coaxing him. But when she recalled that frightening Iceblock Mo, Edith decided not to go through with her plan.

Fortunately, their misunderstanding this time was not that bad. They have resolved their misunderstanding and stopped fighting before they went to bed. Edith was sure that she could not bear the idea of going to sleep without resolving whatever issue they had.

At the thought that Hazel might wake up anytime soon, Edith tried to get off the bed and slipped out of the bedroom. However, her movement halted as her waist was feeling a little bit sore. 

When she recalled the second half of their battle, Edith had the urge to cry. Although she was domineering the battle in the first half, her body started to go weak afterward, and soon, the man had turned around the situation to return her favor.

By now, Neil knew her soft spot and would tease her here and there until her body grew weak with pleasure. Soon, she was at his mercy and could no longer slip away as she liked. Taking the chance, Neil then got his revenge and punished her until she had no strength to lift a finger.

It seemed that she needed to work on her stamina. But still… even if she had her stamina, this man still knew her weak spot and would torture her until she gave up.

Edith let out a groan, knowing that she would never win the overall battle. Another thought came to her mind and Edith began to seriously consider getting a battle armor.

Should she ask Lily to come and shop with her? Her friend has been married for years and would surely know which battle armor is the best…

As if sensing that someone was watching her, Edith raised her head and met with Neil's piercing gaze.

His lips turned to a smile and he leaned in to kiss her forehead. "Good morning."

Edith stared at him for a long time, not saying anything. Seeing that the smile on his face did not disappear, Edith shifted away slightly and asked, "Not angry anymore? Not jealous anymore?"

The smile on his face froze. The tip of his ears reddened and Neil lowered his head, embarrassed. Seconds later, he looked at her again and flashed a roguish smile. "Are you going to coax me again?"

Knowing that he was only teasing her, Edith turned her head away as if too lazy to look at him. However, her body was still sore from last night's battle and she could not turn around too much. In the end, she could only find a comfortable position and buried her face on his chest.

Edith closed her eyes as she felt his hand caressing her back. Just like that, the couple was enjoying the silence between them.

"Darling," Edith spoke after a while. "You cannot be jealous of me and Aaron, alright? I've explained to you our relationship last night. When I started to live with my grandfather, he often left me at his parents' place whenever he had to work overtime. We grew up with each other and found the idea of being together is too absurd."

Neil stared at her and asked, "Is he important to you?"

Edith nodded. "We look after each other. Whenever one of us gets bullied, the other would seek revenge. That was all. When I was bullied in the past, Aaron would be the first to help me. This is the kind of friendship we have. You can say that we are like sworn-brothers. Therefore, if you are going to ask me to cease contact with him, it would be impossible."

"I am not going to ask you to do such a thing." Neil stared into her eyes and sighed. "I cannot promise that I would not get jealous." He watched her frowned and continued, "After all, that feeling was not something that I can control. But I can promise you that I won't misunderstand your relationship anymore."

Her eyes brightened up and Edith leaned to kiss a spot on his neck. She pulled away and studied the mark on his neck with a reddened face. Edith stretched her hand and touched the spot. "President Mo, how are you going to show up at work tomorrow with this mark on your neck?"

"What's wrong? Even if I showed up with this mark, who would dare to say a thing about it?" He chuckled. 

Alright. If he can be thick-skinned and appear at his office like that, she would not say anything. After all, other than a few people who were stationed at the president's floor, none of the staff knew about their relationship.

Neil moved a hand to her waist and started to help her massage the sore spot. A thought came to his mind, and Neil asked, "Where did you learn your self-defense move?"

He could still remember last night, no matter how he tried to subdue her, the silly woman would often find a way to squirm out of that position and turned the table. It was how he had lost the first battle between them.

Edith laughed at his question. She pondered over his question and answered, "I was around ten when my grandpa suddenly thought that I should learn self-defense skills. Even if I did not want to learn them, my grandpa was so determined to make me learn." A laugh escaped her as she recalled her childhood.

The corner of his lips turned as he looked at the expression on her face.

"Grandpa and his teammates would always try-out a few moves. According to my grandpa, as long as I can protect myself and escape safely whenever I'm in trouble, he would be relieved. Therefore, most of the moves I know was self-defense as well as ways to escape."

"Your grandpa is right. It is good as long as you could protect yourself well and escape whenever you're in trouble."

"Hmm…" Edith nodded. "I am planning to teach those move to Hazel later on. They said that learning self-defense would raise one's confidence. Perhaps Hazel would not be so afraid after learning a little bit."

Neil leaned to kiss the tip of her nose and spoke, "I agree to whatever you say."

After staying in each other's embrace for a while, Edith finally shifted to look around. The room was still dark with the blind curtains blocking the window. She reached for her phone at the bedside table and froze when she saw the time. 

Swiftly, Edith pushed the man beside her, jumped out of bed, and scramble to pick up her clothes.

"What's wrong with you?" Neil asked as he observed his girlfriend.

"I'm late!"

Neil chuckled. "What do you mean. It's Sunday. You don't need to go to work today, do you?"

"It's not that." Edith slipped into her shirt. "Hazel should be up at this time. I don't want her to see me coming out of your room." Edith picked up her shorts and paused when there was a sudden, anxious knocking at the door. 

Her heart skipped a beat and Edith turned to look at Neil. 

"Uncle!" Hazel's voice sounded anxious as she continued to knock. "Uncle! Open up! Auntie Edith is missing!"
