Tempting Fate

148 Chapter 148: The Poison Blood

Emy and Reed were busy watching a Korean drama in the living room when they got home. And like other men, it bore Reed just sitting and looking at the tv but not in the mood to watch. Although he understands what Koreans say because of his demonic nature he can adapt to the languages ??of the human world. Apart from that historical drama, he was bored with those kinds of things to watch. But because he wanted to make his wife happy, he went with her.

“What if our son turns out like that? Narrow eyes, white complexion, and handsome?”

“It’s good then, there are many women who will chase after him just like his father.”

Emy frowned. Reed laughed at Emy’s reaction then he kissed her head.

“Even though your husband is drooling a lot, you are still my queen,” Reed said.

Emy said nothing, she just frowned and continued watching TV.

It surprised the cousins to see Devin in their kitchen. He’s busy cooking. Dynhir and Eve approached Devin with frowns.

“What evil wind brought you to the kitchen and you are cooking human food?” Eve asked.

.....

“Admit it, the longer we stay in this world, the more we need human food,” Devin said.

“We know but you cook,” Dynhir said.

“Just ignore me. Sit there and I’ll prepare the table” Devin said.

Dynhir and Eve followed and sat in the dining room. Devin first placed the brewed coffee for them on the table.

“Wow...” Eve said.

Next was the dish cooked by Devin. Eve and Dynhir looked at each other. Devin sat next to Eve.

“Is something bothering you?” Eve asked. Devin glanced at Eve. “I know you, Devin, don’t tell me that’s the queen again.”

Devin smirked. “Emy kicked me out of their house.”

“Because you’re still there, you know that no matter what happens, Reed is still what he wants. That’s how people are. That’s why it’s surprising that Reed got human pregnant. She could leave him.”

“That’s impossible, Reed is totally into her so Reed won’t let Emy just leave him,” Devin said.

“You know, that means you accept that you won’t get anything from the queen,” Eve said.

Devin didn’t speak, he just ate. Eve and Dynhir looked at each other.

“Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.”

When Reed came out of the bathroom in their room, it surprised Reed to hear the children’s music. Emy was lying on the bed and singing along to the music. Reed approached Emy with a frown. He was just wearing a towel when he caressed Emy’s stomach noticing that it was undulating.

“Wow, baby seems to like the music. He’s so naughty.” Reed said.

Emy smiled. “Of course, the internet says, music like this can help a baby’s development. Classical is also okay if it’s boring.”

“Classical?” Reed asked with a frown.

“Tomorrow morning, it will be better to listen,” Amy said.

“You? Aren’t you going to take a shower yet?” Reed asked as he ran his fingers through his hair and then lightly shook it to dry.

Emy said nothing, she just stared at Reed. His wife turned to him.

Reed laughed. “Don’t look at me like that if you don’t want me to eat you.”

“I don’t want to take a shower. I took a shower earlier, and I also took a quick shower before lying here.”

“Okay.” Reed took a boxer and a shirt from the closet. Reed removed the towel after putting on his boxer shorts and shirt.

After getting dressed, Reed lay down next to Emy. He hugged Emy and placed her on his arm. Emy hugged Reed.

After a few hours, Reed felt Emy was quiet as she had just been singing and accompanying the voices in the music. Even Emy’s stomach stopped waving. Reed got up carefully because he wasn’t sleepy yet. Reed left the room and looked at the digital clock attached to the living room wall. When it was late at night, he went down the stairs so that he wouldn’t have to go back to the kitchen. Reed went straight outside the house and looked around. The entire village was quiet, and he also noticed the grooving around.

Normal eyes would not notice the black power surrounding Reed’s house and grounds. It is his protection from other demons. They can’t just enter his house.

——

The next day, it surprised Emy to see Avery and Jasmin at their house. They had breakfast together with Reed. When the two saw her, they immediately hugged and greeted her. Emy sat down next to Reed and Becky prepared milk and a plate for her.

“Reed, I want blood...” Emy said.

Avery and Jasmin looked at each other, and then at Emy. Emy was looking at Reed.

“Blood?” Avery and Jasmin said almost at the same time.

“I’ll take care of it, my king...” Becky said.

“No. I’ll take care of what he needs. It’s safe if I provide it myself..” said Reed.

“Wait, why blood?” Avery asked.

“You know Emy is pregnant with a half-blood,” Reed said.

“Becky, I’m sorry. I didn’t want the milk.” Emy said.

Becky immediately took the glass of milk and put it in the kitchen. Reed looked at Emy.

“Eat first, I’ll take care of the blood you want,” Reed said as he stood up and walked over to Emy, then kissed her on the forehead.

Avery also stood up and immediately followed Reed. She caught up with him at the door.

“Sir Reed...” Avery called. Reed went out the door and Avery went out, too.

“Yes, Avery?” Reed asked.

“Sir, are you going to kill someone?” Avery asked.

Reed raised an eyebrow. “Why did you ask?”

“Because you need blood,” Avery said.

Reed smirked. “Do I have to kill a human to get blood, Avery? Think.”

Reed turned his back on Avery and continued walking until he was out of the yard and teleported.

——-

“Miss Emy, let’s have a kdrama marathon,” Jasmin said.

Emy smiled. After they ate, they went straight to the living room. Jasmin and Avery immediately looked for a Kdrama and Emy went up to the room when suddenly someone rang the doorbell. Jasmin immediately stood up and opened the door. It surprised her to see Emy’s father standing outside the yard. It didn’t come in, which surprised Jasmin.

“Why don’t you come in, dad?” Jasmin asked in surprise.

“Ah, I’m in a hurry because I’m going to pick up Maricar...” Emy’s father said. He immediately handed the paper bag to Jasmin. Emy accepted that.

“Wait, Dad, who is Maricar?” Jasmin asked.

“Who else?” Emy’s father said, then quickly walked away.

Meanwhile, Emy saw Jasmin from the terrace of the house. She came from the gate and was walking inside the house and she was carrying a paper bag.

When Jasmin opened the door, Avery felt strange. She grabbed her Katana because it suddenly moved from inside the sheath.

‘What’s happening?’ -Avery.

“What are you carrying?” Avery asked Jasmin. She noticed she was carrying a paper bag.

“Oh, tatay gave it to me. It’s said to be for Miss Emy. I don’t know what.” Jasmin said.

Avery’s Katana was still restless. Jasmin went straight to the kitchen and placed the paper bag on the table.

“What are you carrying, Miss Jasmin?” Becky asked.

“Ah, Dad gave it to Miss Emy.” Jasmin said.

Becky closed her eyes as she felt the unfamiliar black power. She immediately searched outside the house. She felt danger.

Meanwhile, Emy came down from her room. She immediately approached Jasmin.

“Jasmin, what did you bring earlier?” Emy asked.

“Ah, your father gave it to Miss Emy. I put it on the table, inside a paper bag.” Jasmin said.

“Ah alright, I’ll just check, huh,” Emy said.

“Okay, Miss Emy....” Jasmin said.

Emy immediately left and left them. Emy went straight to the dining room and saw the paper bag there. She immediately took the meat. Although wondering how her father knew she wanted blood, she needed to satisfy her craving. Emy immediately opened the bottle containing blood.

.....

Becky went around the entire house, but she didn’t see any strange power. But when she entered the kitchen, she saw Emy drinking the contents of the bottle from the paper bag.

Avery stood up and seemed to point her Katana at where the danger was. She let go of the Katana and followed her wishes. The katana led her to the dining room, and she saw Emy standing in front of the table holding a bottle of red liquid and drinking it.

Reed arrived, and as soon as he stepped into the yard of his house, he felt a strange power. Reed saw Becky come down from the roof and hurry through the back house. He quickly walked over and entered the house. He caught up with Avery holding the katana and seemed to pull her towards the kitchen. In the kitchen, he saw Avery looking at Emy and also Becky. There was a paper bag on the table. Emy was standing in front of it and drinking a red liquid from a bottle. A few moments later, the bottle Emy was holding fell to the floor, and blood spread on the floor. Emy slowly fell and Reed immediately ran and caught Emy. He let go of the blood bag he was holding and it fell to the floor.

“My queen....” Reed called, but Emy kept her eyes closed.
