Chapter 426 Explain

Amber glared at me. If Carter weren't here, she'd probably be swearing at me by now.

"Fine, whatever. Just get out so I can rest," she snapped.

Yael helped Taylor to his feet, and they walked out. The rest of us followed suit.

Suddenly, something occurred to me. "Carter, wait. I need to say something to Amber."

Without waiting for his response, I turned back and barged in unannounced. At the door, I froze when I spotted a tall man in black leaning down, gently massaging Amber's temples.

He whispered, "You've been up all night. Let me carry you back to rest, okay?"

The two of them looked like a couple in the throes of romance.

Then again, her husband had been gone for years. Having someone around wasn't that surprising.

As soon as Amber saw me standing at the door, her face twisted in fury. "D*mn! What do you want now?"

"I just wanted to say-Amber, I want barbecue ribs for dinner!"

She glared. "I'm not running a restaurant here."

Grabbing an inkstone, she hurled it at my feet, clearly ready to explode.

But the second Carter appeared behind me, her demeanor shifted. Her lips curved into a sweet smile. "Barbecue ribs, huh? Sure, I'll make some for you. Carter, what about you? Is there something you'd like?" "Anything's fine," Carter replied, his gaze flicking between Amber and me.

With that, he led me outside to the courtyard. It was quiet and empty, the open space amplifying the tension in the air.

Standing with his back to me, Carter's tall, lean frame exuded an unmistakable chill. Even from behind, I could feel the frostiness radiating off him.

He had given me face in front of others, but now, the cold, unyielding Carter was fully on display.

"Carter," I called softly, almost timidly.

Over the past few months, Carter had been nothing but gentle and patient with me, never raising his voice or saying a harsh word.
