Chapter 92 We Don't Kill But Torture Those Who Are Single
The change in Alicia's attitude made Edmond feel great satisfaction and pleasure.
The lunch was not too good
But he was full.
Even if the meal was not great, Edmond still felt happy since his wife cooked it for him
Alicia’s leg injuries were still not fully recovered, so she took some medical cintment to rub on them herself.
Upon seeing the dining table with a broken leg, a wave of anger suddenly rushed up and swept away the gentleness on Alicia’s face while replacing it with an indifferent look as she said to Edmond coldly, "None of the furniture in our house is still intact in one good piece."
Edmond grunted and picked up the cintment to rub it for her instead.
Although he felt a little heartache, his expression did not show the slightest hint of remorse or guilt as he casually answered with a smirk, "Buy a new one since it's broken.”
"No money!" Alicia countered.
"Use my card," Edmond replied.
“You keep breaking things in the house every day. It won’t work even if I keep replacing it with new ones!" Alicia rebutted.
"I'm sorry. I know it's my fault, but I'll still do it again the next time.” Edmond brushed away her rebut easily.
Alicia gave up arguing with him.
Edmond was such a shameless, teasing, and absurd person that it was always her on the receiving end.
As for Edmond, he could not stand the twinkling in her eyes. Although he was the one who started the teasing first. he was later mesmerized by her. So it was not totally his fault.
He could only push the blame on the furniture at home for not being sturdy enough.
Without remorse, Edmond earnestly suggested, “Next time, we should buy furniture made of metal or cement, which will be sturdier and stronger." Alicia was speechless.
While the couple was still tidying the mess in their home, someone rang their doorbell suddenly.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Alicia signaled for Edmond to open the door and instructed, “Our house is still in a mess, don’t let the guest come in, all right? This is so embarrassing.”
He mumbled a response and opened the door when he realized that it was Eli waiting outside with a gloomy face. With a little mischief in mind, Edmond welcomed Eli into the house with a polite smile.
"Please come in." Edmond gestured.
Eli was puzzled.
Why did Edmond, who had been hostile toward him, suddenly become so warm and welcoming? Alicia was speechless by Edmond's action.
He hesitated for a moment and did not enter, so Edmond added, "Don't worry. We don't kill anyone.” Eli was at a loss for words.
After entering, Eli was shocked when he saw the crumbling dining table.

Glancing @ound, he noticed that ~~ Alicia was sweeping the floor, and the floor around her was full ofc kneaded tissue while the flushes on her face had not yet faded away.
He froze for a few seconds before turning to see Edmond raising his chin triumphantly and showing off the hickey on his collarbone. Eli instantly felt unwell
It was true that they did not kill anyone.
However, they tortured those who were single.
What a crazy and manic couple!
Alicia immediately saw through the. mischievous prank that Edmond pulled 6n Eli before helplessly © sighing as she swept all the kneaded tissue on the floor into the dustpan.
"So tell me, what are you here for?" Alicia asked
Eli finally returned to his senses and replied solemnly, “Can you tell me where Grace went?"
Alicia raised her eyebrows at Eli with surprise.
Grace had left him so long, and he only wanted to find her now.
"I don’t know," Alicia answered.
“That Gardner kid said that you refused to let him tell me about the whereabouts of Grace.” Eli questioned.

"He lied to you. Actually, he couldn't locate where Grace is." Alicia explained.
Eli refused to believe it when he heard the explanation from Alicia, and he could not help but raise his tone, "Was it Grace who told you not to let me know?"
"Why are you so anxious about finding her?” Alicia rebutted "The company can't do without her," Eli replied hesitantly.
"Oh? Are you sure it's the company that can't do without her, or is it you who can't live without her?" Alicia further probed Eli.
