CHAPTER 19: HE'S IN A GOOD MOOD

Chelsea came out of the bathroom with her eyes closed while wiping her hair. When she opened her eyes, she was surprised to see Red sitting on her sofa. She immediately went to the cabinet to pull out a dress. She didn't have the chance to choose what to wear. Even though she was wearing a bathrobe, it was still rare for Red to see her in this kind of situation.

After getting dressed, she immediately approached Red, asking, "What time did you get home? I thought you had a meeting with the company?" Chelsea asked in surprise.

Red stared at her so evilly that it immediately scared her.

"Come here," he ordered Chelsea. Chelsea froze in place because of the nervousness she was feeling. It was as if a bad wind had blown over Red.

"I said come; don't make me repeat myself." He said this seriously, which worried Chelsea, so she immediately came to the sofa. She was about to ask what was wrong when Red grabbed her and pushed her to the bed.

With the force of Red's pushing, he did not stand up immediately, and she was very surprised when Red suddenly came on top of her. She wanted to stand up, but Red only held both of her hands to keep her from moving while lying down.

"Re-red, what are you doing?!" Chelsea asked as her voice cracked. He didn't say a word and just stared into her eyes.

"Chelsea Leigh Garcia Buenavista, aren't you forgetting something to tell me?" Red whispered in Chelsea's left ear. Because of the warmth that touched Chelsea's skin, her fur began to rise and her heart began to beat faster.

"W-what do you mean?" Chelsea asked in surprise. She forced herself to fight Red's gaze even though their position was too uncomfortable for her.

"Are you going to lie to me again?!" Red frowned.

Chelsea still couldn't figure out what Red was talking about, so she tried to push him to stand up, but she failed because all of Red's strength had been forced into her two hands, so it was impossible to escape. Since she couldn't move her two hands, she thought of using her foot to push him. She immediately tried it, but Red stopped her and grabbed her thigh.

"Don't try anything funny, Chelsea," he said seriously and raised both of Chelsea's hands above her head, holding her with only his left hand. His right hand is still holding her thigh and forcing it so that Chelsea couldn’t kick him.

"What the hell is it?! I have no idea what you're talking about." Chelsea shouted bravely but Red still didn't move and was still staring at her evilly.

"I saw a picture," Red answered briefly.

"What picture?"

Red let out a gasp before saying, "You with your ex."

"It's just that? if you hadn't push me down, I would have told you a while ago." Chelsea sneered softly, causing Red to frown.

"Didn't you order me to go grocery shopping earlier? I left my wallet in the car so I went back and suddenly someone grabbed me and unfortunately it was Mark, my ex-fiance. He wanted to apologize for what he did. He also wants us to get back together because he says he's sorry..."

"Then? Did you go agreed?" Red asked curiously.

Chelsea just laughed at what Red said, "Of course not! I'm not stupid enough to go back to that man. That's all that happened. I was just really tired today so I just went to sleep."

He did not answer and only gave two nods to Chelsea.

"Umm... Maybe you can let me go?" Chelsea asked awkwardly when she noticed that he still wasn't moving.

His hand clenched on her soft hips and didn't want to let go. He looked at Chelsea's lips and returned his gaze to her eyes. It seems that his mind was possessed by a demon and he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his body. He slowly lowered his hand as Chelsea closed her eyes.

"Why are you closing your eyes?" Red whispered.

Chelsea immediately opened her eyes. "W-what are you doing?" His cheeks started to blush. She looked away from him in inexplicable shame.

Red's hand remained on Chelsea's thigh. Chelsea can already feel the heat of his palms which makes her system even more crazy. There was really something about this man that made her libido go on overdrive. She calmed herself down.

Calm down Chelsea Leigh! Don't send to the devil. Relax. She said in her thoughts.

She closed his eyes again to calm herself down when Red suddenly spoke again.

"Are you scared?" he said seriously to Chelsea.

Chelsea opened her eyes again at what he said, and when she opened her eyes, their eyes suddenly met. His bright eyes are captivating. Red's breathing also seems to be speeding up, and Chelsea can already smell the fragrant air coming from his mouth. Her heart was beating fast.

Why do I feel like this? What is this man doing to me? She asked herself.

"I said, are you scared?" when he suddenly repeats the question that Chelsea did not answer earlier.

"No, I'm just a little uneasy. Whatever you're thinking of doing... please don't do it now. It doesn't seem right," Chelsea tried not to stammer. "Can you let me go?"

"Don't worry, I won't do anything without your consent." He said this before releasing Chelsea and helping her sit down.

"I just don't want to do it with someone I'm not sure about," Chelsea said softly.

"I see." It was a short sigh before standing up. He held Chelsea's hair and seemed to be combing it slowly. "Always remember, you are my wife, so don't let anyone touch you," he uttered. Chelsea just nodded, and there was a short silence between them.

"I heard that you haven't eaten dinner yet," Red asked.

"Because I'm not hungry," she answered.

He frowned. "But you need to eat!"

"I'm still full. Besides, it’s already late; let's go to bed."

"Fine. Wake up early tomorrow and I'll cook for you," Red said before walking out of Chelsea's room. He did not wait for Chelsea's answer and carefully closed the door after leaving.

CHELSEA

What's the problem with that guy? Suddenly the wind changed again, and he was suddenly kind to me. So odd... is he really going to cook for me tomorrow? That's new! I can add something to my dictionary about him.

I don't want to think about what happened earlier because I'm really tired now and I just want to sleep all night.

I shook my head and checked if the windows and doors were properly locked. When I was sure, I immediately laid down. I first thought of listening to music while waiting for sleep to come. After a while, I fell asleep without realizing it.

The next day, I woke up early as Redemon ordered me. That person should be nice once in a while, so I should have grabbed it. After getting dressed, I immediately went downstairs to go to the kitchen. I was exposed to the very fragrant smell of pancakes.

Well, it seems like he really did what he said last night! If that's just how it is, we'll definitely get along every day. I approached him and gently peeked at the rest of what he was cooking. It looks like a burrito, avocado toast, scrambled eggs, and pancakes. Wow! I was not informed that, apart from being a demon, he also has a career in cooking.

"Sit there, it's almost done." I was surprised when he suddenly spoke. How did he know I was here? Did he notice me?

I went straight to the table and waited for him to finish cooking. I opened my phone first to entertain myself while waiting. There is a message, but I didn't notice it. I opened it and saw that it was Dad.

[Darling... I'm sorry we didn't get to see each other the other day. I apologize if our visit to your mother didn’t happen. There was a problem with the project I was working on, and I needed to take care of it. I'm sorry. I wish I could make it up to you. Call me when you receive it.] -from Dad.

I don't know where else they get the courage to make me a fool. What will happen when I give in to them again? No, I hope that there will still be hope that we will be able to settle, even just with my own father. Ever since he sided with those witches, it's like he forgot that I was his own flesh and blood.

I stopped my drama when Redemon came out of the kitchen carrying his cooked food. When it was laid out and arranged on the table, I was more and more enamored with its extraordinary smell. Just smelling it will definitely make you full.

"I'll just make smoothies and juice; I'll be right back," he said before returning to the kitchen.

I'm hungry. I stared at the food, and it seemed like they were talking. It was as if they were telling me to eat them.

"You! You'll be with me later, rawr!" I said to the avocado toast staring at me.

I really can't wait anymore. I guess he won't be angry if I take a little of the scrambled eggs, right? I stood up and grabbed the fork. I took some scrambled eggs slowly and carefully. I was about to swallow it when Redemon suddenly whispered behind me.

"You red devil!" I screamed in shock.

"What are you doing? Why are you so surprised?!" he asked. "I said I'd be right back. Oh, mango smoothies and mango juice."

"It took you a long time," I shyly told him.

What are you doing, Chelsea? You didn't even wait for the one who cooked; it's a shame. Maybe there won't be next time because of what I did.

"Eat now," he said as he sat down.

I immediately targeted the avocado toast that had been looking at me. I rejected my shame and just ate. I didn't pay attention to Redemon; he was saying something to me, but I was so hungry that it was as if I didn't hear him anymore and just let him talk by himself.

"Are you listening?" I was stunned by the sudden rise in the tone of his voice.

"Uh-sorry. What was that again?" I asked him since I didn't understand a single one.

"Never mind."

It seems that he didn't like that I wasn’t paying attention. Geez, what if he gets mad again and orders me around for the whole day?

"Anyways, I'll be leaving soon. I still have a lot to do at the office," he said before drinking smoothies.

Is he angry? I didn't mean to not listen to what he was saying earlier. I was really hungry, so I focused more on the food that he serve…
