Chapter 2004
Though Amber tried to kick Axel out, he shamelessly stuck around. However, he merely observed her from a distance withoutdisrupting her work.
He watched as she joined the cooks to prepare food. Despite her petite frame, she stirred the food in the industrial cooking potswith ease. She
harvested, washed, and cut the vegetables expertly, as if it were second nature.
With his arms folded across his chest, Axel becengrossed in her actions. Beads of sweat dotted her forehead, and a few strandsof hair clung to
her cheek. Despite her disheveled appearance while working, he found her beauty captivating.
Every tthey crossed paths, she carried herself like a flawless masterpiece, catching the attention of the opposite sex. However,Axel found her
prettier in her current state—more vibrant and real.
As Amber's "friend", Axel was invited to lunch with the other kids when food was served. Amber stood in a line with two otherteachers to serve food.
"Thank you, Ms. Altman!" The kids chirped with wide smiles. She warmly greeted them as she busied herself serving food.
After a while, her hand suddenly froze midair as she looked up in surprise. Axel stood up straight, holding a tray. He looked intoher eyes with
passion. Smiling, he said, "Ms. Altman, | have a huge appetite. More food for me, please."
Amber's heart raced wildly. She bit her lower lip shyly, feeling helpless. Meanwhile, the two teachers grinned knowingly at herblushed face.
"Please leave after you're done with lunch.” Lowering her head, she whispered in a voice that was only audible between the twoof them.
Still, she served him a generous portion as he had requested.
"Oh, that's a lot of food. Might takea while to finish. Let's see.” Leaning in with a twinkle in his eyes, he teased, "! don't always getto see you. |
won't leave until I've had my fill."
Once again, he dropped another flirtatious line without warning. Whenever her heart fluttered, she would instantly force herself tostay grounded. She
cautioned herself not to long for what could never be hers and not to fall deeper for him, knowing they had no future together.Besides, she wasn'tnovelbin
worthy of him.
She was merely an orphan raised by Jameson and later defiled by various men. Her face, despite its beauty, was the reasonbehind her low self-
esteem.She refused to believe that Axel would catch feelings for a worthless plaything that bore a resemblance to his sister.
The kids were either in class or taking naps in the afternoon. Meanwhile, Amber sat on a stool in the laundry room to handwashthe children's clothes
with lukewarm water."Why don't you use the washing machine? This must be tiring," Axel suggested.
Amber looked up at him before going back to work. She explained, "Kids' clothes are very dirty. You can't just toss them into thewashing machine.
Sclean freaks would prefer to handwash these clothes.

He might be a spy, but he looked like a good househusband when doing chores.
