"You are finally here! I thought you left us!" Yena face lit up almost immediately when she saw her appearing at the doorsteps. Sean who was behaving himself quite well on the side, sitting and not fussing like what Yena was doing just after seeing her, Chaira can still see how his pursed lips lightened up as his light brown eyes brightened, seeing here appear.
Chaira heart softened noticeably seeing such an adorably sight. But before they could be happy and feel adorable about the scene they were in, the smile in the corner of Chaira lips disappeared as Sean pursed his lips into a thin line, while Yena who approached Chaira confusedly looked at the man placed uncaringly in Chaira back, grunting lowly, as if showing how uncomfortable he is.
Sean left his seat, approaching Chaira as he raised his little hand to pat her arm, "Quick, throw the man. Men are heavy, your arm will go sore" his tone was that of a little boy copying an adult voice, but the content of his words made Chaira want to crouch down and pinch down those malnourished cheeks that made her distress.
Chaira was never one to hold herself back, especially when it was already the third time since God allowed her to start at the familiar starting point of her rebirth life. There, just after those thoughts of wanting pinch those cheeks, she uncaringly let go of the man, allowing him to slid off from her shoulder as his head hit the ground, that the smoke ghost who was following Chaira to see if their lord were being mistreated continuously, was shocked and scared, that even though he don't have a heart, he was scared enough to not be at the same space as this woman.
With thoughts like that too, the ghost slipped away, wiping off the mourning tears he had for the lord that were being treated harshly by the wife he obviously had the thought to pursue as his wife.
He can only give his blessings, but he certainly can't be at the same space as this woman anymore, when he does not know how long it will take before someone as violent as this woman will know that he was there all along.
So, as Chaira crouched down in front of Sean after she threw Hades at the side, the ghost in his smoke form slipped off almost immediately when Chaira kissed Sean cheeks that made Sean widened his eyes in shock, but then felt uncomfortable when he felt a burning gaze full of murderous intent land on his body almost at the same time that Chaira lips smack along with his now clean cheeks.
His lips pursed as his eyes turned, his light brown eyes gazing at the man that was thrown opening his eyes to stare hard at him, not bothering to cover up the eyes that were unusually red.
Sean was slightly surprised, his little heart race, but before he steps back, starting to act cautious and vigilant, his little sister, Yena, who saw Chaira giving him a kiss, slightly pouts, stating in a jealous tone, "Why is big brother the only one who got a kiss on the cheek?"
Chaira almost immediately laughed, hearing Yena sour voice. But after all, she lived for three times now, her perception on her surroundings was too high that when she sensed that something was off with the atmosphere surrounding them, it was easy for her to guess that the man she had thrown was awake—maybe because of pain?
But anyways, she certainly cannot let Hades fully regain his consciousness. Or it will be dire for their mother and kids.
Mother and kids…
The corner of Chaira lips cocked up a little bit after having to think like that.
Though, it had not been long, when her left feet moved, her eyes turned, and when she heard a creaking sound on her back as if someone was about to stand up, ruthlessness flashed past her dark eyes as she turned around to kick the side of Hades head.
Hades who was oblivious to what might happen shot back to the side, losing consciousness once again.
Another ghost who tried to enter the room to see if he could eat some yang energy, was terrified of the fact that the man who smell very much like their lord who rule over the underground, was mercilessly kicked, making his nonexistent heart to skip a beat in fear, but was also silently applauding the woman who had the audacity to treat their lord like this.
Chaira dark eyes flashed without any emotion as she looked at Hades unconscious body with eyes very condescending. But then, her aura changed, as her eyes widened, turning her head fast to look at the siblings who looked back at her, agape, eyes widening in shock.
"Hey…" she wryly opened up, before she straightened her back and cough, looking at the two little kids with serious eyes, "Don't do those things I did a while ago, it was not very good, and you can go to prison," Chaira tried hard to say things that would happen if her two adopted kids was influenced to do in the near future what she just did now.
But.. when she was about to add some things, Yena who hold a little grudge for not still having her cheeks kissed by their adopted mom, tilted her head as tears welled up on her light brown eyes.
"Are you going to jail?" she tearily asked, wiping it off with her little hand immediately, as if not wanting to break down, but failed to do so when her voice slightly cracked, as she asked once again, "Are you going to abandon us?"
"…"
Chaira was speechless, but seeing Yena teary face, she had no choice but to explain.
"How come your mind is always at places even though it was so small?" Chaira asked, as she then shook her head, "No. I'm not going to jail."
Just then, when her words fell, a low grunt sounded just behind them, the low temperature around them become even lower, making them feel as if they were in an ice cave.
Or...
It really was.
Chaira dark eyes flashed, seeing some small particles of dead snow falling at her adopted children shoulder.
When Chaira was about to clean it off, a hushed voice whispered near her, sending a chill down to her spine.
"Them...target. Aγάπη μου."
Those words echoed and entered her soul without warning, her eyes widening as her upper lip trembled.
Chaira stood up straight, instinctively protecting the two kids standing there innocent when she turned her back. Looking towards the man that had woken up at some point, her cold gaze pierced through his own cold gaze.
The two of them looked at each other for a long, neither one showed some signs of retracting their gaze.
Just when the ghost that followed their disgraced lord inside, start to sweat, the once closed door was knocked as Hades was the first one to retract his gaze, looking towards the door that had its knob slowly turn.
But it was a foolproof move, when Chaira who was so vigilant and cautious for this man that seemed to be not affected by the blows she delivered, silently step towards him, moving so mast when her hand raise, chopping Hades' nape, the place that Chaira found out was the man weakness.
It was too late for the ghost subordinate to remind its lord that was somehow so slow today, as Hades who had just woken up, once again, lost his consciousness.
"..."
Chaira immediately breathed a sigh of relief as she hurriedly said to the waitress knocking outside, "Please wait a moment!" deliberately lowering her voice, she crouched down and rudely carried Hades body, hiding him from a person sight.
Though...
Chaira turned her back as she clapped her hand, successfully hiding Hades body. When she made an eye contact with her adopted children, she stopped, becoming silent.
Well, not long after the waitress once again knocked on the door, visibly impatient by its hurried pace.
"Wait a moment!" a reply was given quickly as Chaira put a finger on her mouth, making a hushing sound.
Sean pursed his lips, as Yena covered her mouth, nodding their head with twinkling eyes.
Chaira does not know what the two children were currently thinking, as she just hurriedly opened the door, smiling wryly at the waitress who smiled back at her.
Chaira felt even more wry when she clearly saw how this waitress maintains a fake smile on her lips while there some impatience flashing inside her eyes.
Chaira took the food tray on her own initiative, saying in a helpless tone, "I'm sorry."
The waitress just shook her head, and left there.
Chaira was even more in a low mood, closing the door with a heavy heart, though there was more anger inside her heart. Angry at Hades for making her be a nuisance for some employees at work.
Unbeknownst to her, just when she closed the door, the waitress that was cursing her in a low voice as she walked after leaving the room, stopped, her head raised and stared at the glassy window at her right side.
When one takes a closer look at her, her eyes were very white, as if being controlled, lifeless.
Her feet mindlessly took a step forward towards the glass window, walking faster each time passes by. When she was so close of cracking the glass window, the waitress dazed eyes finally returned to its original sight, as the waitress whose body was going upfront uncontrollably because of inertia widened her eyes.
"Aaah!"
A scream broke out, almost immediately the sound of glass shattering echoed continuously in the silent hall.
This day will really be a sleepless night for all people dining at this five-star restaurant.
