"You broke the door?!"
"Yes."
"With a cannonball?"
"With my hand… or maybe it was my leg."
"..."
"What's wrong? Did Lu Bela not tell you this?" he smirked from the corner of his lips.
"How do you… oh…" Ruby let out a short sigh and muttered, "I see. So this was all your plan to make me confess everything, and I fell right into it. Not going to lie, that was very smart of you. I am impressed."
She smiled at Rudy.
Maria squinted her eyes and hugged Rudy's arm while staring at Ruby.
"Look at her getting jealous," Ruby remarked. "Never in my wildest dream had I thought I would see a day where my aunt will bring home her boyfriend."
Maria puffed her cheeks and muttered, "Even you are teasing me…"
"So what should I call you?" Rudy asked Ruby. "I don't want to call you by your name as our names are similar. And calling you niece-in-law sounds weird. I don't even know if that's a word, to be honest."
Ruby reached her hand to Rudy and said, "You can call me Mia since I am Mafia. Get it?"
"Yeah."
Rudy shook hands with her and said, "Nice to meet you, Mia. As you know, I am Rudy, and I am engaged to your 'aunt'. But since we are the same age, you don't have to treat me formally."
"Of course, uncle Rudy," she chuckled softly.
'She is lying. She knows… she knows everything. I purposely mentioned 'aunt' to know what she thought about it, and she colored me surprised. She knows that Maria is not her aunt but her half-sister.
Now I think she knew what Rusher was going to confess, and she purposely interrupted him from telling them. But why? Isn't it better if that secret is out? Well, it is their family matter, but it does concern me, does it not?' Rudy wondered.
Rudy and Ruby shook hands with each other with fake smiles on their faces, but Maria was too jealous to notice that. She separated their hands and glared at Ruby.
"Ruby, you must be tired from all the traveling and gambling. Why don't you go sleep in your room?" Maria said in a demanding tone.
"Don't you try to scare me with that creepy forced smile of yours. You have been doing this ever since we were kids. You can't just scare me away whenever you don't want me around," Ruby remarked.
"It has always worked, though," Maria shrugged.
"Is that so?" Ruby raised her brow and said, "Then how about Ido what you fear the most at this moment?"
Maria averted her gaze and said, "I don't fear anything."
"Oh? Very well, then. Don't hate me for what I am going to do now."
"What are you—"
Maria watched Ruby pull Rudy's face close to her and kiss him on the lips. Then, Ruby glanced at Maria from the corner of her eyes and kissed him again.
After the kiss, she turned to Maria and said, "That was my first kiss, and it doesn't feel as special as they say."
"That's because you don't have feelings for him. It's only special if you do it with someone you love," Maria said calmly.
"..." Ruby stood there in confusion and thought, 'Why is she not angry? I kissed her fiance, and she was so calm. I was expecting her to yell at me. Does that mean I wasted my first kiss for nothing?!'
Ruby turned to Rudy and said, "You changed her."
After saying that, she left the scene.
"..."
Maria hugged Rudy and kissed him on the cheek before whispering something in his ears. Then, she rushed after Ruby and left the scene.
"Well…" Rudy glanced at Lilim and shrugged his shoulders.
"Dear, you should tell everything in the morning when all the family members are present," Nyara said, leaving in a hurry.
Rusher turned to Rudy and said, "I will tell them soon."
"Yeah, it's fine. I would feel the same if I tried to confess a secret and got interrupted. Anyway, it's getting late so I should leave. Can you drop me off?" he asked Rusher.
"I will send Lilim."
"Yes." Lilim licked her lips and said, "I will drop you off like I did that night."
"I would love to, but I want Rusher to drop me off."
Lilim understood what Rudy was planning, so she nodded and said, "I wouldn't impose."
Rusher, on the other hand, was utterly confused. But he couldn't say no to Rudy.
"I will get the keys. You can wait outside for me in the meantime."
Now, only Rudy and Lilim were there. They looked at each other for a few seconds without uttering a single word.
"I was lowkey looking forward to dropping you off so we could have some 'fun' again," Lilim muttered.
"Well, so was I, but… I got some business with Rusher, so…"
"It's okay." Lilim hugged Rudy and said, "Daddy is busy. I understand."
"You know, we can actually still have fun if you want."
"Here?"
"Of course not."
"Then?"
"After I leave with Rusher, you follow us. Or you can just wait for me somewhere and send me your location. Once Rusher drops me off, I will come to you to cum in you," he chuckled.
"I could just teleport into your room, actually, but since it's night and everyone is sleeping in the rooms next to yours, your moans will wake them up," he added with a grin.
"Then… I will wait for you in the forest."
"Which forest, though? There are many."
"The one near your house by the lake."
"Uhh… how do you know where my house is?" Rudy asked with a judging look on his face.
Lilim gulped anxiously and responded, "I was watching you, remember?"
"That's true, but still…" Rudy squinted his eyes at Lilim and asked, "Why do I feel like you are hiding something?"
"I am not."
Rudy heard footsteps approaching near, so he patted on Lilim's head and left.
Lilim confirmed Rudy's leave and sighed in relief.
'Rebecca would have killed me if I had let daddy ask me more questions. I would have had to answer them as it would be the Lord's command.'
Rusher later picked up Rudy and left the underworld.
