My Husband, Warm The Bed

"Not as a threat? Then get someone to send them back safely now. Can you send them back to Chatterton Town without any issue?" Neil's voice sounded neutral, but with a unique commanding air. Neil had been in charge of the military region for decades. Thus, he had witnessed all kinds of incidents. How could he lose his composure just because of such a phone call?

Neil, who was currently speaking from the other end of the phone, was the person who Sheldon wanted to tear into pieces so badly. Neil was the one who destroyed the force that he had built up for years, and hindered him from achieving his ultimate goal.

He hated Neil so much that he wanted to rip off his skin and force him to kneel before him and apologize. However, it was not the right time yet. He still needed more time.

Therefore, no matter how exasperated and hateful Sheldon was, he still remained calm. "Young Master Brown has just arrived in Xanduvia City, and he's very interested in the local customs of the area, so he wants to stay here and understand them thoroughly. Don't worry, Colonel Brown. He lives well here. We won't even touch a single hair on his head," Sheldon assured.

Neil sneered. "What if I don't give you what you want?"

"Colonel Brown, we can't force you either if you're unwilling to comply." Sheldon was still smiling but his smile became gradually more vicious. "Then, I'll have to have Young Master Brown and his friend stay with me for a few more days."

Neil responded, "Since you're okay with that, he can stay with you for as long as you want. It's none of my business."

Snap!

From the other end, Neil hung up decisively, heartlessly.

Holding the phone tightly, Sheldon's exasperation reached its peak. Veins popped out on his temple.

Levi shrugged and addressed Monique, "See? I told you that I'm nothing more than a free gift to my parents, yet you didn't believe me. Now, seeing Neil's attitude towards me, you should finally believe me, right?"

Monique responded, "Colonel Brown is usually a little disappointed in you, but with that being said, you are still his only son. He won't abandon you without a single care."

Levi said, "You're the best. You're the only person who cares about me."

Monique patted his back and comforted him, saying, "Your parents do care about you too."

"Tell me, do you love me?" Levi asked.

Even though they were putting on an act for the enemy, Monique could not help but blush when she heard Levi teasing her so naughtily. "Yes, of course I love you," she answered. Levi replied, "Honey, I love you too!"

There were many other people in the room but the young couple began flirting with each other as if the others were of no concern. They didn't stop talking until Sheldon coughed discontentedly. Levi looked back at Sheldon and said, "Mr. Gilbert, now you've seen it with your own eyes. It's not that I don't want to call Neil, it's that Neil won't care whether I'm alive or dead even if I call." Sheldon did not look as kind as before, but his tone was still polite as he said, "Young Master Brown, you're overthinking it. As the young woman said, you are Colonel Brown's only son. It's impossible for him to not care about you."

Levi suggested, "Mr. Gilbert, why don't you lock me up and torture me now? Or, you can cut off one of my hands or ears and instruct someone to send it to Neil to see if he really cares about me."

Sheldon had actually thought of doing so. But now that Levi had bluntly suggested it, he didn't dare to carry out the act anymore. He just responded, "Young Master Brown, you must be joking. You are my distinguished guest. I'm over here fretting if I've treated you well enough! How could I do such a brutal thing to you?"

Levi said, "Mr. Gilbert, since you can't bear to do so, get someone to send us back to our room to rest. Let's see if Neil will call us back later. If he doesn't call, you can call him again and threaten him. Tell him that if he doesn't give you what you want, you'll kill me and leave him childless."

At the present moment, Sheldon's mind was busy with thoughts about Neil's intention. He was not in the mood to deal with Levi at all, so he motioned his subordinates to escort Levi and Monique back to their room for the time being.

When Levi left, Edward finally spoke up after biting his tongue for so long, "What on earth is Neil thinking? Don't tell me he's ignoring his precious son for the sake of his status."

Sheldon stroked his forehead and thought over it. Then, he said, "Even if he doesn't care about his precious son, his wife will still care about Levi."

Edward asked, "Are you referring to Mia Kyle?" Sheldon nodded. "Those who know them are all aware that Neil always listens to what Mia tells him. As long as Mia knows that Levi is in our hands... Do you think that Neil will still not trade the objects we want for Levi?"

Edward took out his phone immediately. "I'll get someone to send the news to Mrs. Brown then. She'll help us with what's going to happen next."

Sheldon nodded, silently agreeing with Edward's suggestion.

Edward did not waste a single moment. He contacted their subordinates lurking in Chatterton Town right away and asked them to get the news to Mia as soon as possible. However, their subordinates quickly replied that Mia was currently staying at Secret Garden of the Kyle family.

The Secret Garden of the Kyle family was heavily guarded. If Mia didn't go out of the place, they wouldn't be able to enter at all. Thus, there was no way for her to receive news of this. Edward hung up and glanced at Sheldon with a distressed look. "They said that Mia has moved to the Secret Garden of the Kyle family, so they can't pass on the news about Levi to her." Sheldon asked, "Is there such a coincidence?"

Edward questioned in return, "Do you think it's possible that Neil knew about this ahead of time and sent Mia to the Kyle family on purpose?"

Sheldon answered, "Although Levi didn't communicate with the outside world after we caught him, we can't rule out the possibility that Neil might have predicted Levi would be caught by us, and thus, he made certain arrangements in advance."

Edward asked again, "Does Neil really intend to abandon Levi?" Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Sheldon replied, "We'll give him a few more hours. If he doesn't take initiative to contact us before dinner, it's not my fault if he ends up childless."

Back in the room, the first thing that Levi and Monique did was to check if there were any surveillance equipment in the room. After confirming that no one had done anything to the room while they were away, they began to talk.

Monique asked in a soft voice, "Levi, what are you and your father planning to do?"

Although she had heard what Neil said on the phone, she absolutely did not believe that Neil would not care about Levi's life. There must have been some hints dropped between the father and son.

Levi was lying on the bed comfortably with his limbs outstretched. "You don't have to concern yourself with Neil's plans. Just carry out your own tasks."

Monique said, "I carefully observed Sheldon's office just now but I didn't find anything. I can't confirm if it has a hidden passage that leads outside the house."

"His office looks quite ordinary," Levi replied.

Monique continued with her observations, "However, from what I got to know about him in the past two days, since he can endure your taunts time after time, he must value his ultimate goal very much. Before he can achieve it, he will take ample measures to ensure his safety. Therefore, I'm sure that his office has a hidden passage leading outside."
