Chapter 389: Unspeakable Goodbye III

The Incubus System Chapter 387. Unspeakable Goodbye III

Ruby's PoV

Ruby's eyes fixated on Ethan who came out of the cafe. An uneasy feeling enveloped her heart as if it was the last time she would see him. She wanted to chase after him, take him home, lock him up, hide him in a place where no one could hurt him. Either the demons, Nathan or the senators. A place where she could have Ethan all to herself. Her heaven.

But she couldn't... Ethan would hate her for the rest of his life for that. She knew he loved Celia so much and was trying hard to support her. She knew Ethan studied hard to keep his promise to his late father. Still... Nathan and The Senate's plans frightened her. Even if Mrs Clea was vehemently against it, who knew what they would do behind it?

A tap on her shoulder dismissed her thoughts.

"Ruby, are you okay?" asked one of her friends.

"Yes. You look weird. Is there something wrong with him?" another asked.

The other snorted in annoyance and folded her arms in front of her chest.

"I told you, he doesn't suit you. There is no good guy who hangs out with many girls. He's not even handsome," she reminded her about yesterday.

Hearing that complaint, Ruby turned to her and hugged the paper bag tightly.

"Don't say that! I know them all. Two of them are his sisters. One of them is his college's friend. I just don't know the other one, but I guess it's also his friend," she said in displeasure. Ruby knew this from her previous story. So she guessed that Ethan was with Celia, Tiffany and Emma yesterday. That was why she decided to check on them. Unfortunately, she didn't find them.

Seeing Ruby's reaction, the others were silent in surprise since she had never lost her temper before.

"Sorry..." said Ruby guiltily.

"I'll put this in the staff room." Without waiting for an answer, she walked towards the room.

As soon as she entered it, Ruby sat in front of the table in silence. Her mind was lost in what she had discussed with Ethan earlier. There was a curiosity that bothered her. Although she was eager to find out, she decided to investigate it slowly. After all, based on what he said, she knew Ethan would be spending this vacation working. In other words... He would be at his house throughout this holiday.

Even though Ethan didn't like it. Ruby decided to become his stalker again after her last conversation with Mrs Clea. She couldn't imagine if the senators caught Ethan and turned him into a heartless weapon. Previously, she wanted Ethan to be a demon hunter, but now, not anymore. What she wanted was Ethan's safety.

She took a deep breath to calm herself.

'Calm down, Ruby. He'll be fine. Clea won't let them,' she tried to reassure herself. Her hands opened the bag to take out the fruits. A pack of apples and strawberries.

Noticing a note on top of the strawberry pack, she picked it up and read it.

'Don't forget to eat properly and take care of your health. Ethan.'

It was a simple thing that made her smile.

"I should bring something to his house tomorrow," she muttered.

Ethan's PoV

It was almost noon when I decided to kill my time by watching TV and waiting for Celia to come down. I had checked her twice, but she said she was not done yet.

'What took her so long?' I thought. I had helped her pack her things yesterday, she also had prepared all of it since last night. Yet she still needed more time.

"Celia, are you done yet? Our car will arrive in a minute," I shouted without taking my eyes off the TV screen. My servants also helped her.

Which she answered with another shout.

"One more minute!"

"Oh C'mon! You said that 5 minutes ago!" I shouted.

"Be patient, okay?" she answered.

I rolled my eyes to the side and threw my back behind the sofa. My hand turned off the TV in annoyance and placed the remote by my side since the show no longer appealed to me. My eyes turned to the clock with mixed thoughts.

'Two hours to go...' I thought. There was impatience and excitement in my heart. Also an uneasy feeling about what I would face later.

I closed my eyes and imagined what was there. A medieval-style dark stone castle in the middle of a cemetery-like city. Various shaped demons. Sounds of pain and growls from all over the place. Antique buildings with strange and terrifying shapes. Darkness shrouded the place for 24 hours. Command center with alien style building. Magic lab filled with terrible creatures and... A carriage as transportation.

A long breath escaped my mouth as I opened my eyes.

'It will be the same as living in the medieval era.' I knew I was not really on vacation, so I shouldn't be complaining about that.

The engine's sounds from in front of my house made me realize that the car had arrived. I stood up from the sofa.

"Celia!" I shouted again.

"I'm here! I'm here!" said Celia in a panic. She quickly got down the stairs. Behind her, Luna, Foxy and Yuffy carried her luggages.

My jaw dropped.

"You only stay there for 3 months, not forever," I complained.

"But Olivia texted me that she and Camila were going to take me to their private beach for a week. So I had to prepare more clothes for that."

It managed to leave me speechless. My mind quickly imagined the nice view of the beach, the breeze, the sea and my partners' bikinis...

'Remember your responsibility, Ethan,' I warned myself, even though I really wanted to go with them.

"I will open a portal for the three of you," I said, trying to dispel my naughty thoughts. I opened the portal to Camila's house for my servants before I carried Celia's luggage and locked the door. Ivy had arranged everything yesterday. So, Mia, Celia and I would go by car since Celia would stay in the house and Mia would return with the same car. It would be strange if they suddenly appeared out of nowhere for no reason.

Seeing Celia's luggages, the chauffeur swiftly got out of the car and helped us to take it into the car.

Note: this isn't a death flag. But this event will open Ruby's route after Ethan returns from the dark dimension.
