Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 280 Watching the Show

I immediately looked down and gasped in shock. Back inside the escape room, I hadn't noticed just how close I was to Eric. I was practically glued to his chest, my hands clutching onto him tightly. From any angle, this posture looked undeniably intimate.

Zeke crossed his arms in disappointment. "Come on, Jane. How are you this scared? You're worse than a kid like me, and I'm not even ten yet!"

His words instantly shattered the awkward tension between Eric and me.

Hearing this, Zeke shook his head in exasperation. "But it's all fake!"

I blinked in surprise. "Wait, at your age, shouldn't you still believe these things are real? Did the world lie to me? Because when I was your age, I even thought the stuffed bear on my bed had a soul!"

Zeke pouted smugly. "I'm not like other kids. I'm going to be a scientist one day- just like my dad and grandpa."

I chuckled, ruffling his hair. "Alright, alright, future scientist."
