Tempting Fate

71 Chapter 71: The Ambush

Reed, Devin, and Jasmin all looked at Emy in the same way. They got a lot of food because the bar food wasn’t very good. But they didn’t expect Emy to eat so much.

“Slow down, Wifey, you might suffocate on that,” Reed said.

Emy glanced at them. “Why do you look at me? You don’t want to eat, do you?” Emy said.

Devin kept looking at Emy. He also checked Emy’s stomach. Nothing had changed in her body. He did not know that Reed was also watching Emy.

“Are you pregnant?” “Are you pregnant, Wifey?”

Reed and Devin both looked at the other as they asked the same thing at the same time. While Jasmin laughed, Emy stopped eating. All three of them looked at Jasmin.

“There’s no way Miss Emy could get pregnant because...” Emy put the piece of squid in Jasmin’s mouth. She couldn’t finish what she was going to say. With worry on her face, Jasmin looked at Emy.

“Jasmin, what do you mean, Emy can’t get pregnant?” Reed asked.

Emy glanced at Jasmin, then at Reed. “Jasmin was just joking, but you didn’t know that at first.”

.....

“Well, I need to know what’s going on when it comes to my heir.”

“We don’t need it. Also, I’ll tell you if I’m pregnant or not. ”

Devin had a sudden flashback to the day they were trying to catch the thief who had stolen Jasmin’s phone.

‘Is that ...’ Devin thought.

He gave Emy a look. He frowned when he thought about it.

“When Jasmin says that, she looks as if she means it,”

“Jasmin is just kidding.” Emy gave Jasmin a quick look. “Aren’t you just kidding?”

Jasmin chuckled and nodded. “Yes, sir, I was just kidding.”

“It’s not funny if it’s a joke,” Reed said that he meant it. “Jasmin, I don’t want you to joke around like that.”

“I apologize, sir.” Jasmin just nodded in shame. She didn’t know that Emy’s secret hadn’t been told to Reed yet.

“Now eat. When the food is cold, it doesn’t taste good,” said Emy.

In the distance, Devin caught a glimpse of something. There was a figure he knew. He frowned, turned to Reed, and then looked back into the distance. The figure was gone. Devin thought about what he had seen, but he didn’t tell Reed.

They agreed to go home after they had eaten. First, they brought Jasmin to her house. At that time, it was also raining hard. The old, wide road has become crowded, and both sides of the road will be flooded. Reed’s car window was moving quickly. Emy and Jasmin were talking on the chat in the back seat, so they said nothing. Reed was looking straight at the two women.

“I think you two are keeping something from me,” Reed said.

“What do you think we’re going to keep from you? Also, if there is, it should be for us girls only.” Emy said.

“What?” Reed asked with an eyebrow raised.

Devin’s phone soon rang. When he saw the name on the screen, he frowned. Right away, he answered.

“Why are you here again?” Devin asked on the other line. Reed, Jasmin, and Emy all took a quick look at him. “Okay, stay at Emy’s house first, which is at least safe. What? You really won’t give up. Did you come here just to get laid? It’s up to you, but I told you so. Fine .. ”

When the call was over, Emy asked Devin right away. “Is that Eve?”

Devin glanced at Emy, and then he glimpses at Jasmin. “Yeah.”

“You can’t blame her, because she has already tasted the human she will look for. Humans are so sweet. ”

“Am I sweet?” Emy asked.

“You’re not just sweet, you are more than that, Wifey,” Reed said.

Emy looked over at Jasmin. “Why the way you speak it is as if you are not human? I mean, you call people “humans,” and you talk about sex and everything else like it is nothing.”

What Jasmin said stunned all three of them. “Envy. You guys are very close. Did you know that? You feel you can tell each other anything without feeling silly. I’ve had that dream for a long time.”

“Well, you can also find demons that are right for you,” said Devin.

“What? Demons?” Jasmin asked. Devin chuckled a little when Emy slapped him on the arm.

“Jasmin, it’s just a word. It means nothing.” Emy said.

“Look at those little demons...” Reed said. “They have fun when it rains. They look happy, but I see nothing that could make someone happy with what they are doing.”

“So do I. No one seems happy with what they’re doing.” Devin said.

“Why haven’t you taken a shower in the rain yet?” Emy said.

“Taking a shower in the rain is so much fun. It feels good.” Jasmin said.

“It’s boring.” At once, both Reed and Devin said.

Both Emy and Jasmin looked at each other and laughed. “I wonder how what their youth was,” Jasmin said.

“Reed!”

Reed stepped on the brakes suddenly, and time stopped. Devin teleported out of the car and stopped it from flipping over. Because of what happened, Jasmin and Emy got out of the back seat and almost put their faces in the seat in front of them. A few seconds later, the car’s back end fell onto the road, and everyone inside bounced. The time is back to normal.

“Aw!” she grabbed her head. She did not know what had happened, so it shocked her why her head was in pain.

“Wifey, are you okay?” Reed asked.

“I’m fine. What’s going on?”

“Don’t move. Don’t leave. Reed said that he suddenly left the driver’s seat, which surprised Jasmin, but she passed out.

“Jasmin ... Jasmin ...” Emy called Jasmin’s name and tapped her on the cheek.

In the rain, Devin was looking for the creature that flashed in front of their car and almost flipped it over. Luckily, he saw it, and Reed could stop the car.

“Did you see who?” Reed inquired.

Devin gave a headshake. “When I went outside, he was gone. I also didn’t see his face.

Reed stopped the time again after Reed and Devin turned around. Devin looked far away and saw a figure with a hood there. It had a sword in its hand and was lit up by the car lights.

Reed looked at Emy in the car and smiled. The person in the hood moved quickly, and they attacked him right away. Reed and Devin used their black smoke to stop each creature’s attack at the same time. They couldn’t believe how good it was and how it knew how to attack next as if it could read their minds.

Reed and Devin both kicked, sending the creature flying. Its body hit a truck far away.

“He looks like one of your trained shadow demons, Reed,” said Devin.

“Do you still doubt Maria?” Reed asked. He took his phone out of his pocket and called Maria because Devin didn’t answer.

Devin saw the monster get back on its feet and swing the sword again. Reed called, and Maria answered the call. He looked at him.

“Oh, nothing. All I want to know is if Eve is home.” Reed said. “Okay. We’re going back home.”

When the creature attacked right after Reed finished talking, Devin quickly stopped it. Devin made a bunch of nests, then made a dagger out of the black smoke and quickly stuck it in the creature’s leg. Then, he used his other foot to kick the dagger hard into its leg with his good foot. Reed made a whip out of his black smoke and quickly gave it to the creature. Reed quickly pulled on the end that was around its neck, sending it flying to the other side. Devin moved quickly toward the creature and attacked it several times. He shot at all of its most important parts until it fell. It filled its wound with a black liquid. Devin took his demon’s sword and was about to stab the creature when someone suddenly appeared in front of him, stopped his attack, and hit him in the stomach. This made Devin back away, and the creature suddenly disappeared in front of him and Reed. Reed used that whip.

“Is everything okay?”

Devin looked at Emy, and then Reed said hello to her. “I’m fine, my queen.”

“Is Jasmin it?” Reed asked.

“She blacked out, but she’s okay,” said Emy. “What do you think we should do? Do you want to take him to the hospital?”

“I’ll just go home,” said Devin. “I can teleport.”

“I’ll go with you,” said Emy.

What Emy said shocked Reed and Devin. This caught Emy’s eye. “Don’t misunderstand me, Reed. Devin needs help, but he can’t go to the hospital yet.”

“I-I get what you’re saying,” Reed said. Emy was safe because Devin helped him, so he let Emy go with him. Reed looked at Devin. “Can you walk?”

Devin nodded. “Yeah.”

“I’ll get the tunnel open,” Reed said. He then touched the door of the car. Soon, it’d be open. “Come in, Devin.”

As soon as Devin went inside, Emy turned to Reed and kissed him on the lips. “Go home right away, all right? I will wait for you.”

Reed was happy. “Let’s meet at Devin’s house. I’ll just give Jasmin to you and then follow you.”

Reed helped Emy get into the car as she smiled. Reed turned to the other side of the car and got in after closing the door. He waved his hand, and everything started moving again, and time ran out again. Reed quickly started his car, even though there was a commotion because something had flattened the front of the truck for no apparent reason.
