Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 125

Elsa's little tricks made me laugh.

I took a step aside while keeping my composure, calmly watching Elsa and Jeremiah.

Elsa pretended to congratulate us on reconciling, but in reality, her eyes were already welling up with tears. Her pitiful look could soften anyone's heart. If I were a man, I might have softened.

Jeremiah's expression shifted slightly. He was about to speak when he remembered I was beside him, so he quickly masked his feelings.

He cleared his throat and said to Elsa, "Can you give us some space?"

Elsa, who had already been looking hurt, froze at his words. She didn't expect him to be so cold. In an instant, her eyes welled up with more tears, but she still nodded. "Okay, I'll leave now. You two can talk."

As she finished speaking, her body swayed and she collapsed.

Jeremiah, with practiced ease, supported her body and lifted her in his arms. Then, he turned and walked away.

Before leaving, he glanced back at me and said, "Don't leave yet. I need to talk to you."

With that, he carried Elsa upstairs without another word. I silently watched him disappear from view, then turned and walked away. He really thought of himself as a king, making me wait around like this. It was utterly ridiculous.

But before I even made it home, Jeremiah's call came through. I ignored it several times, but he persisted. Reluctantly, I picked up.

"Didn't I tell you to wait for me? Why did you leave?" The second the call connected, his accusing voice blasted through the speaker, nearly deafening me.

I didn't care and replied nonchalantly, "I never agreed to that."

There was silence on the other end for a moment. Finally, I broke the quiet. "Is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."

"Wait a minute."

His voice sounded again. "What did you say to my mom? Why did she leave in a huff? My mom is usually so patient, so you must have said something outrageous!"

Sure enough, when someone was completely speechless, they really did end up laughing.
