Chapter 13 You? Protect Me?

• Had Rebecca forgotten Levi's earlier words?
• Rebecca thought that they had gotten a little closer since she was treating his legs. This might be a chance for her, so even if she couldn't get detailed information from him, she could try gleaning a vague idea from him.
• "Let me massage your legs. This will help you recover too. I know an exclusive technique, and it's guaranteed to make you feel good."
• Levi choked on his water as a weird look appeared on his face.
• Rebecca noticed that and hastily patted his back.
• "Take your time. No one's stealing your water."
• When Levi calmed down, he suddenly gripped Rebecca's hand and pulled her toward him. Caught off guard, Rebecca lost her balance as her lips rammed against his chin.
• Both of them froze in their places.
• Levi stared at the dark skin of her face. Her heavy bangs covered most of her forehead along with her black-rimmed glasses. He was suddenly curious to see how she looked without those glasses.
• He slowly reached out, and his fingertips had just touched the rim of her glasses when Rebecca quickly reacted and pushed him away.
• Levi was caught by surprise and swayed a little from the force, but he still maintained his balance in the end.
• Rebecca looked at him warily. "Why are you trying to take off my glasses?"
• "I just want to see my wife's true colors. Are you hiding something from me?"
• Rebecca felt her heart racing when he looked at her, and she quickly adjusted her glasses.
• "I'm horrendous, so you shouldn't look at me. Otherwise, you might not want your dinner later."
• Levi had never met someone who described themselves like that.
• "Other girls try to look pretty, but what about you? You wear such old-fashioned clothes, and you refuse to let others look at you. Isn't that suspicious?"
• Rebecca feared that Levi might pester her until she relented, so she waved her hand as if it didn't matter.
• "My looks aren't important as long as I can cure your legs."
• She wouldn't stay in the Foley Family forever, and she planned on leaving sooner or later. If they met again in the future, things would turn awkward.
• Levi was an impatient man in terms of work, but this time, he decided to take it slow.
• She was his wife, after all. He had all the time in the world to ask questions.
• He raised an eyebrow at her. "You're going to massage your husband's legs, aren't you?"
• Rebecca looked at him in confusion.
• "Didn't you say that it's not necessary?"
• "Since when? I just want to tell you that from now on, you can only make me feel good and no one else."
• Rebecca realized what was going on, as well as why Levi would react so strongly just now. It was all because of his pride.
• Some men would behave like this. They didn't necessarily like their woman, but their pride and possessiveness were terrifyingly strong.
• Levi was probably one such person.
• Still, he looked cold and arrogant on the surface as if nothing could affect him, so Rebecca was surprised to find that he was capable of jealousy.
• She had never gotten close to other men before, for she felt that men were boring creatures who only acted according to the lower half of their bodies.
• The only exceptions were the dense guys around her who knew nothing of romance and fully devoted themselves to earning money.
• She grinned as she pointed at Levi. "You're jealous! The eldest young master of the Foley Family is jealous!"
• Now that Rebecca had seen through his thoughts, Levi struggled to maintain his pride, so he reached out and pinched her cheek.
• "I just don't like other people touching what's mine. Don't overthink things."
• Rebecca smiled, her eyes turning into crescents. "Don't worry, I agree with you. Even though we don't have much of a relationship, we're still legally married. Relax, dear, I'll protect you."
• Levi scoffed.
• "You? Protect me?"
• It wasn't that he looked down on her; it was just the simple truth.
• Rebecca blinked at him mischievously.
• "Thanks to me, you learned that someone is trying to harm you in the shadows."
• Levi was speechless, for he knew about that already.
• If he didn't even figure that out, he probably deserved it.
• However, Rebecca was behaving so proudly that he found it interesting, so he decided not to tell her for now.
• That night, after dinner, Levi summoned Percy to his room. After Percy went in, he could feel something wrong with the atmosphere.
• His expression was stern as he said to Levi respectfully, "Mr. Foley, is there something you want me to do?"
• The gentleness in Levi's eyes during the afternoon had completely vanished. A cold aura emanated from Levi as if he were an emperor.
• "Spread the word that my legs are gradually recovering."
• Percy failed to understand. "If we do that, once the person knows about it, they'll figure out more ways to harm you."
