Tempting Fate

147 Chapter 147: The Queen Changes

After they hung out on the terrace, Emy fell asleep again, so Reed carried her to the bed and laid her down properly. He looked at his wristwatch and it was seven in the morning. He carefully left the room. When he came out, Becky was busy cleaning the house.

“Shall I prepare breakfast for you, my king?” Becky asked when she saw him.

“All right,” Reed said. “Just for me. The queen is still asleep.” Becky immediately walked down the stairs after leaving the vacuum and the rag on the railings. “Ah Becky, is Devin home yet?”

Becky stopped coming down the stairs and turned to Reed.

“I have never seen him, my king.”

“Prepare food for both of us.”

Becky nodded and continued down the stairs. Reed came down next and left the house. Reed looked around and noticed that he had people running down the road. The whole sky is cloudy so even at noon people still enjoy jogging in the morning. Reed was stretching his body and some of the women passing by were glancing at him and the women seemed to be tickled. Devin arrives and immediately flirts with the girls. Reed just shook his head. Devin later came over after the girls left.

“Looks like you enjoyed yourself,” Reed said.

“Ah yeah, shouldn’t it?” Devin said. “Just like the saying of humans, enjoy being single because when you get married, you can’t do all the things you used to do.”

.....

Reed frowned. “And whose lips did you hear that word?”

“To the ones I used to drink at the bar. They are a group of rich bachelors that the girls fight over.”

“And you want to be like them? So even their beliefs are being imitated by you?”

Devin laughed. “If you can’t go home early, you can still enjoy yourself,” Devin said. “Living in the human world, it’s more exciting than I thought.”

Reed just took a deep breath and watched Devin.

“My king, your breakfast is ready.”

They turned to Becky who was at the door. Reed nodded and Becky left. Reed faced Devin.

“Let’s have breakfast together,” Reed said then turned his back on Devin.

Devin immediately followed Reed, and they went straight to the dining room. Devin’s eyes widened when he saw the food served. It served a typical human breakfast there. Devin immediately sat up and so did Reed. They were on opposite sides of the table facing each other. Reed immediately drank his coffee and so did Devin.

“You’re so sweet, Reed. What’s wrong?” Devin said laughing. “Have you become human?”

“Stop talking nonsense, just eat,” Reed said.

Devin said nothing and just laughed and started eating.

——

Emy woke up feeling that there was no one next to her in the bed. She slowly opened her eyes. Emy is already inside the room. She remembered falling asleep while sitting on Reed’s lap on the terrace of the house. She immediately got up and sat on the bed. Emy felt hungry. Later, the door opened and Becky entered, surprising Emy. She was about to undress to change her clothes when the door suddenly opened, which is why Emy got stuck and Becky flew out of the room and her body almost stuck to the wall.

Reed and Devin stood up when they heard the noise from the second floor. Reed and Devin ran one after the other and were surprised to see from the bottom of the stairs the hole in the room’s wall where Devin was sleeping. Becky is under it. The two men immediately went up to the second floor. Reed looked at Becky and then quickly entered the room seeing Emy still standing and staring at the door where Emy was. Reed hugged Emy and using kinesis he closed the bedroom door. Devin sat in front of Becky, he looked at her body then he extended his hand and helped her stand up. At first, Becky hesitated to accept Devin’s help, but the man stared at her.

When she stood up, his question surprised him even more.

“Are you alright?” Devin asked. “What happened?”

“Prince Devin, the queen, was surprised by my sudden entry. I thought she was still sleeping, so I didn’t knock so she wouldn’t wake up, but powerful energy threw me, I didn’t expect.”

“Powerful energy?” Devin asked. “How did that happen? Emy is human, she has no power anymore...” Devin was stunned.

‘Incapable...’

Meanwhile, Reed sat Emy down. Emy also seemed to surprise. He stroked her back while calling her name.

“My queen... Wifey...” Reed called her.

Emy turned around. “I killed her...”

“No. She’s okay, actually.”

“No, I saw it. I killed her.”

Reed took a deep breath and used kinesis to open the door again. Devin and Becky were talking while standing by the door.

“See? She’s okay.” Reed said.

“But I saw it. When I raised my hand, he suddenly flew away.” Emy still stared at her hand.

Reed didn’t speak. Instead, he held Emy’s belly.

“I’m hungry.”

Reed glanced at Emy. “Let’s go eat.”

“Wait, I’ll just change my clothes.”

“Okay, get changed. I’ll wait for you.”

Emy smiled and went into the bathroom to take a quick shower. Reed peeked in the door and prepared another meal for Emy. Becky immediately obeyed the order and hurried down the stairs while Reed stared at the hole in the wall. Becky’s body took shape there. Devin turned to Reed.

“This is a wow,” Devin said.

——-

The three had breakfast together. Devin stared at Emy, who used to be good at eating people’s food.

“Aren’t you hungry for demon food yet?”

Emy shook her head. “I love human food.”

“That’s good. Your skin has color again.”

Reed didn’t speak. He just looked at Emy while she was eating. Emy has changed a lot since the angel touched her. At first, she seemed to remember everything, but he wasn’t sure yet. Second, it no longer craves demon food, but human food. That’s why the size of Emy’s body changed.

“Why weren’t you there last night? Who were you with?”

Devin looked at Reed. “She’s asking you.”

“Ah, I with the cousins. Dynhir and Eve had a bar last night.”

“And you just came home now?”

Devin glanced at Reed again. “Y-yeah, I just got home.”

“If that’s what you’re going to do, just go home. You have a house, don’t you?”

“Are you kicking me out?” Devin asked in shock as he glanced at Reed again, but he didn’t seem to care anymore.

“I don’t want someone stubborn. My son might inherit it. If you want to go home in the morning, go home.”

Devin chuckled. “Why are you grumpy now?”

“You smell like alcohol, you smell disgusting. You should take a shower first.” Emy said sleepily.

“W-what?” Devin smelled himself.

“I’m irritating you, Devin. Get out of the house.”

“Damn, you’re straight to the point, Emy.”

“Just follow,” Reed said.

Devin frowned and continued eating.

——-

After eating, Devin left Reed’s house. Although surprised, Reed did not ask Emy. What her husband did was in her favor.

“Reed, haven’t we bought baby stuff yet?” Emy suddenly asked.

“If you want to go shopping, why not?”

Emy smiled.

At the mall, they immediately went to the department store. Almost everyone who sees them turns away or stops. Emy was frowning at the attraction Reed was getting from people. A woman approached them to offer Reed a credit card.

“Sir, what card are you using? Maybe you want to apply for a credit card with us...” the woman said as she walked with Reed and Emy.

Reed was about to speak when suddenly Emy spoke first.

“Get out of my face if you don’t want me to make your face bleed,” Emy said seriously.

The woman turned pale when she saw Emy’s reaction and the change in the color of her eye color. Reed saw the woman’s response, so he looked at Emy. Emy pulled him away from the woman. Reed released black smoke and sent it flying at the agents present.

They continued shopping and Reed didn’t expect to enjoy what he and Emy did. He didn’t know that shopping for baby’s things could be so exciting. He didn’t know that the things they bought were just as important, especially the baby clothes that were so cute. After shopping, they ate lunch.

Emy thought of eating at a Korean restaurant where they would cook the food.

“It’s called Samgyupsal,” Emy said while busy flipping the meat.

“Okay, why do you seem to like strange foods?”

“I saw it in the kdrama.”

“Kdrama?” Reed asked with a frown.

.....

“You do not know?” Emy smiled. “Let’s watch tonight?”

“Ah, what you wish, my queen.”

Emy wrapped meat in a leaf and was going to feed it to Reed. Reed was surprised, but didn’t complain. When he tasted it, it was delicious even with the leaves.

“What? It’s delicious, isn’t it?” Emy asked Reed.

“Yeah, it’s weird, but delicious.”

Emy smiled because Reed liked the food. Something weird is happening to her, but she doesn’t care as long as her baby is healthy and Reed’s view of her doesn’t change.

Meanwhile, Devin was hanging out at the cubus cousin’s house. They sleep well but he still went to their house and ate the ice cream in their refrigerator. He wondered why Emy treated him like that.

‘Damn, what have I done?’
