My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1680

Levi's words hit Monique's heart and brought her comfort. "Okay, both of us will be fine. Nothing can happen to either of us."

"Alright, I know. Let's go. There's no time for us to diddle dawdle." Holding Monique's hand, Levi continued to lead her running down the stairs.

They lived on the 15th floor, which the elevator could reach in the blink of an eye. However, by taking the stairs, they felt like they were going in circles, still so far away from the ground.

Bang!

All of a sudden, the front door of the stairwell was slammed open with a loud bang until the cement on the walls was even knocked down, scattering throughout the air.

Levi's eyes were preoccupied but his hands were fast. In an instant, he protected Monique by hiding her behind his back. He glared at the door fiercely but there was nothing. There wasn't even a sliver of a shadow, not to mention a person.

However, Levi still did not let his guard down. He motioned to Monique to retreat two steps down and he quickly assessed their surroundings. If there really was an emergency, he had to find the best location to escape in case the enemy could not be defeated.

Monique, who was guarded behind Levi, did not stay idle either. She also observed their surroundings. In such an emergency situation, the two of them had to cooperate well in order to escape.

She held her breath, not daring to make any sound that would disturb Levi so as to not distract him.

Just as the two of them thought there was no one, a group of people suddenly rushed into the stairwell, their faces covered in colorful makeup. As their faces were painted in various colors, it was impossible to know their appearances.

The group of people yelled and rushed straight towards the two of them. If it weren't for Levi's quick reflexes, the two of them would have been separated by the crowd.

However, the group of people did not attack them, and they quickly went past Levi and Monique to go to the floor above.

Once everything had calmed down, Monique found a piece of paper in her pajamas' pocket. She took it out and there were two lines of words on it. "It's an honor to have you two in Xanduvia City. I hope you have a good time here in the next few days. I'm looking forward to our formal meeting!"

There were no threats in the words written, but it was more bone-chilling than any other threat.

Their enemy had told them in the most undermining way that if they could put a note in their pockets without their knowledge, then they had the ability to get rid of them the same way.

Levi snatched away the slip of paper and held it in his hand. Shrugging his shoulders, he said in an incomparably relaxed manner, "Mm, they're already tracking us and don't have any intention of getting rid of us, then why are we still in such a hurry to escape? Why don't we go home, take a bath and have a good sleep?"

Monique looked at Levi and saw the relaxed look on his face, but she couldn't tell whether he really was relaxed or he was pretending in order to calm her down.

She wanted to ask him just that but she refrained from doing so. Instead, she just followed Levi who led her to the corridor. Out in the open, they used the elevator to go upstairs.

There were only the two of them in the elevator. While the elevator moved up, they did not speak. It was silent in the narrow space, so silent that their breathing could be heard clearly.

It took only a little time for the lift to arrive on the 15th floor. Even when they entered the house, no one spoke. Monique finally could not help herself and said, "Levi, are you sure that we came back just to sleep?"

"Or else?" Levi said as he walked to the bathroom. "Do you want to run around being chased around by them like wild monkeys instead? I don't have the habit of being fooled by people."

"But —" Monique still wanted to say something but Levi had gone into the bathroom, closed the door, and turned on the showerhead. The water from the showerhead could be heard flowing relentlessly.
