Honey?
Monique's heart throbbed when she heard Levi addressing her this way. She was a little flustered and confused, but she mainly felt delighted.
However, she couldn't show that she liked it. Otherwise, he would definitely eat her up. She pretended to be very fierce and glared at him. "Who is your honey? Don't address me like that, or I'll beat you up."
Levi did not care about her threat as he knew that she was not really threatening him. Otherwise, her cheeks would not be red, which was clearly a bashful yet endearing look.
Levi knew that Monique was hiding her shyness inwardly in a fierce way, and he would not let go of such a good opportunity to tease her. "Honey, you escaped with me and have to suffer. Don't worry, I am your husband and I will definitely make a big fortune in the future. By then, I will let you enjoy life in a big mansion."
Monique didn't want to talk to him but Levi pointed to the door as a signal of someone eavesdropping on their conversation. Monique had to cooperate. "Then I'll wait. But, don't keep me waiting too long."
Levi was very happy inwardly. Monique was a naive girl and it's better for her to be with him. If she was with someone else, she would be devoured unknowingly. Levi said, "Honey, don't worry. I will find a job tomorrow and we will move out here when I receive my salary."
"Great!"
Levi looked at the door and gestured to Monique with his eyes. Monique had no choice but to cry reluctantly, "Dear, you are so good to me. I will love you forever."
Hearing the word 'Dear', Levi was overjoyed, but his face remained calm. "You are my wife. If I am not good to you, who else should I be good to?"
Monique could not have herself to say such mushy words. Hence, she replied softly, "Hmm."
Levi was satisfied. "Let's eat. Only when you're full can you have the ability to do what we love to do."
Hearing what Levi said, Monique blushed. She scolded him in her heart, "Pervert!"
Levi gave a piece of his remaining meat in his lunchbox to Monique and said, "Be good, stop blushing. Let's eat."
Monique somehow understood the situation that she never did before. In the past, she always did not understand why a poor couple could still be happy when they were together. Even if they worked late, they would not feel tired. Maybe it was because they had hope in their hearts.
In other words, as long as she was with those who liked her; those who were good to her; those whom she liked, she could make it no matter how difficult the situation was.
As expected, it was safe to live in the civilians' area. At least, they stayed there for an afternoon without any unusual happenings noted.
In the evening, Levi moved a small stool and sat at the door. He observed the passersby for a long time, but he did not find anyone suspicious.
Everyone passing by was busy with themselves and they didn't have time to look elsewhere. Of course, there were rascals cadging a drink or a meal. They were nosing around and taking advantage of the fact that the passersby were not prepared to pilfer.
At that moment, Levi noticed two people passing by in a hasty manner. Obviously, they were busy but they still kept an eye on their surrounding environment.
Levi deliberately lowered his head to flick off the dust on his trousers. It was not until those men had gone far away that Levi returned to his room and turned on the listening device. Before long, a voice came from the other side, "Mr. Gilbert, we were careless this time. We let Levi and Monique escape."
