Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO Chapter 81 – Cold Night  

Chapter 81: Cold Night

Cole nodded. “I know my limits.”

Cara frowned.

Cole said, “I promise you! Even if Simone Owens can defeat me, she can't kill me.”

Cara shook her head. “Forget it. I've already promised you to let you participate. I won't object.”

Cole replied, “Don't worry.”

Cara looked at him and suddenly said, “I asked Uncle Hugh to help you find a master and borrow his inner armor. You can wear it.”

Cole was stunned. “It's expensive, right?”

An inner armor that Uncle Hugh had to personally borrow was probably extremely expensive.

“You don't have to care about that.”

Cara continued, “Also, do you need any other herbs for your medicinal bath? I can help you gather them.”

Cole waved his hand. “I've already prepared the most suitable medicinal herbs for me. A medicinal bath is not something that can produce better effects just because the quality of the medicinal herbs is better.”

The older the medicinal herbs were, the stronger the medicinal effect.

Cole could at most absorb 20-year-old herbs. If he bought a 100-year-old medicinal herb…

He would probably bleed from his seven orifices.

“Fine.”

Cara was helpless.

At this moment…

Knock knock!

There was a knock on the door. “Your takeout is here.”

Cole got up, walked over, and opened the door. “Thank you.”

“Please give me a good review. Thank you!”

The delivery man bowed.

Cole nodded and smiled. “Okay.”

The delivery man left.

After opening his phone and giving a good review, Cole stuck his head out to confirm Kamila's and Hugh's locations.

The two of them had disappeared somewhere.

Although Cole could vaguely sense it, he could not see it clearly from afar.

Then, he closed the door and sat opposite Cara with the takeaway.

When he began to open the lunch box and opened the drink in front of Cara, Cara spoke.

“Did you have to do this when you delivered food previously?”

Cole paused. “Something like that.”

He knew that Cara was talking about the delivery man bowing and asking for a good review.

Cole was the same when he used to do that job.

He was even more humble and cautious.

Life was hard.

It had been forcing him to give in.

“Were you sad?” Cara asked.

Cole smiled. “What's there to be sad about? It's difficult. Just grit your teeth and let it pass.”

But he would not give in now.

He never would!

“Okay.”

Cara did not say anything.

“Come, try it. I think this crayfish shop is not bad.”

Cole changed the topic and peeled a crayfish for Cara. He raised it and spoke to her.

He wanted to feed her!

Cara suddenly looked a little awkward. “I can do it myself.”

Cole's eyes lit up.

This was the first time he had seen Cara with such an expression.

Chuckling, he said, “I'll feed you. If the sauce drips on your dress, it'll be troublesome.”

Actually, he was worried that Cara was used to living like a princess and did not know how to peel crayfish.

What if she felt embarrassed and flew into a rage out of humiliation…

Wouldn't he be in trouble?

Cara bit her red lips and leaned over unnaturally. Opening her red lips, she said, “Ah…”

Cole fed her and could not help but smile.

This was the first time he had seen Cara so cute.

“What are you laughing at?”

Cara's fair cheeks puffed up slightly. This was because the meat was inside her mouth.

“No, I just think you're cute.”

Cole suppressed the smile.

Cara glared at him.

Cole stopped talking.

Seeing that Cara still had an unnatural expression and was chewing very slowly, Cole could not help but ask, “Is it not delicious?”

“No.”

Cara shook her head. “I'm just not used to others feeding me.”

Cole suddenly understood.

So this was the reason Cara looked awkward.

“Also.”

Cara changed the topic and looked at Cole's slow movements. “You're peeling the crayfish too slowly. Do you not eat it often?”

Cole was speechless.

He did not expect to be looked down upon by Cara.

Cara picked up her gloves and put them on. “Young people nowadays are clumsy. In the past, I often caught fish and prawns. I wasn't as pampered as you guys.

“Besides, this shop has already helped you open their crayfish in advance, right? You're still peeling it so slowly… You really don't even know how to eat crayfish.”

Cara put on her gloves and quickly peeled the crayfish. Raising the crayfish meat, she smiled at Cole. “What do you think?”

Cole looked at the crayfish in silence.

He began to think about life.

He wondered if he should not order crayfish.

Besides…

Although Cara was fast, her movements were elegant. There was no possibility of her sauce dripping on her dress.

It made Cole feel like he was not watching Cara peel crayfish…

Instead, he was looking at the art Cara was making.

“What are you waiting for?”

Cara suddenly spoke.

Cole seemed to have woken up from a dream. “What's wrong?”

“Eat it!”

Cara brought the crayfish to Cole's mouth.

Cole was stunned. “I can peel it myself…”

Before Cole could finish…

Cara stuffed the crayfish inside his mouth.

“Just eat it.”

She rolled her eyes at Cole.

Cole chewed on the crayfish meat and got an inexplicable feeling.

This was the first time Cara had fed him.

He originally had an idea before ordering the crayfish. Cara would be very touched when he peeled the crayfish for her…

He seemed to have taken the wrong script.

Cara picked up her drink and turned to look at the balcony.

“Let's eat on the balcony.”

Cole's bed was close to the French window. There was also a small balcony outside the window that he generally used to hang clothes.

Occasionally, Cole would move a chair there and stare blankly at the stars.

“Sure.”

Cole nodded.

The two of them sat on the balcony.

As Cole had only a folding stool and the bed was very close to the balcony, Cara simply sat on his bed.

In the sparse night sky, only two or three stars were shining faintly.

Cara suddenly looked a little down and said, “You're the second man to feed me.”

Cole, who was peeling crayfish, felt his heart tighten. “The first is?”

Cara rolled her eyes at him. “My dad. What are you thinking?”

Cole laughed awkwardly. “Sorry!”

At the same time, he fell a little silent.

He knew that Cara was thinking of her father.

“Before my father built the company, Sky City was a small fishing village.

“My sister, my father, and I used to play by the lake when we were young. Then my mother would wait for us at home…

Cara's tone was emotionless. “But after that, high-rise buildings changed day by day. My father left, and so did my mother. My sister went overseas to study, and I was the only one left.”

Cole remained silent.

Looking at Cara's calm expression, he saw a flash of sadness in her eyes.

Cole suddenly asked, “Don't you still have Uncle Hugh, Aunt Kamila, and your sister?

“Besides, don't you still have me?”

Stunned, Cara looked at Cole.

Cole's eyes were firm.

Looking at Cole's serious expression, Cara suddenly laughed. “You look so silly when you say sweet nothings.”

Cole was speechless.

“I think I'll peel the crayfish.”

Cole choked and lowered his head to peel the prawns.

At this moment…

Cole lowered his head and heard Cara chuckle. “But I like it.”

Cole's hand paused.

A smile flashed across his eyes…
