Chapter 799 Double Eclipse



"How long does the eclipse stay for?" Rudy asked curiously while rubbing his hands on the handrest.

He was curious why the ice wasn't melting or wetting his clothes, except leaving the cold and wet feeling on his skin.

"It could stay for anywhere between two to four weeks. Remember, it's two eclipses."

"Yeah."

"Also, no matter what happens, don't let Jane get close to the eclipse."

"Obviously. I am not letting any of the vampires go near it."

"No. I understand your concerns, but Jane must never get there. She is the child of a blue moon. It might have an effect on us. She might become the strongest being in existence during that time."

"Oh? Stronger than me?"

"Yes. Remember, she is more experienced in fighting than you. She might be able to defeat you during that time. But of course, that's never happening. I am saying that because I don't want Jane to do anything with a blue moon.

I believe I have already removed the curse of the blue moon from her, but that doesn't mean she is no longer the child of the blue moon. Moreover, the blue moon will dominate over everything during the eclipse, so they might try to corrupt Jane with the power of the blue moon."

"Lord verses… the child of the blue moon…."

"Yeah. They are nemesis. The blue moon family must be eagerly waiting for that moment. Feel free to chain Jane with the shackles on that day if you deem it necessary."

"I am not doing that, and you know it. Also, the eclipse is happening in the vampire world, not on earth, so I have no need to worry about anything, is that right?"

"The effect can still pass through space. Just be careful."

"I will keep that in mind," Rudy nodded.

"Is there anything else you want to talk about? I am running out of time, and I do not want to leave my body defenseless in the outside world."

"Thank you for the talk. I wanted to meet you and have a chat with you. Let's meet in real life soon. I will be waiting. Feel free to tell me anything you find. We can solve the mysteries together," he said calmly with a gentle smile on his face.

"I feel the same way."

"..."

A few seconds later, the red flames vanished, and Rudy was blinded by the bright light. When he opened his eyes, he found himself looking at the sink.

He raised his brows and muttered, "The sink was filled with dirty plates. But now…"

Rudy looked to his right and saw the cleaned plates lined up to dry.

'My body was doing its work while I was unconscious, or rather in a semi-conscious state?' he wondered.

Rudy turned around and noticed Rebecca sitting on the corner of the couch in the living room. She was sitting still with a gloomy expression on her face, seemingly sad because of her fight with Rudy before she went to bathe.

Rudy thought of calling her name but decided it would be best if he approached her instead.

He sat beside her and asked, "Are you okay?"

Rebecca shook her head and muttered, "How would I be okay if you were angry at me?"

"I already told you that I am not angry," Rudy sighed. "Do you want me to be angry?"

"No…."

"Then, don't think that I am angry. I wouldn't be sitting here talking with you if I was angry."

"I thought you came to remind me that you are angry."

Rudy looked at the time and said, "Let's get you to bed."

"I don't want to sleep."

"You have to sleep. We will be going out for dinner tonight."

"But don't you have plans with Eleanor?"

"Well, I do, but don't worry about that. I can arrange two dates in one night."

"But I have a night shift…" Rebecca stopped when she remembered the shop was no longer in business.

"You really do love to make excuses to avoid our moments, don't you?"

"It's not like that." Rebecca's face flushed a little.

Rudy picked up Rebecca and carried her in his arms like a princess. He took her to her room and placed her on the bed.

"There you go."

"I am sorry for today. I promise, from now onwards, I will never talk about anything else."

"You don't have to do that."

"No, you matter more to me than anything else in the world. Right or wrong, moral or immoral, none of that matters. What would I do with those silly thoughts and ideals if you were not around?"

"...you can't live without them, mom. That's what makes you a human."

"I don't care. I promise it won't happen again. I would rather die than yell at you again for 'my' thoughts."

"Don't say that."

"No, I have decided. From now onwards, I have stopped…"

"Stopped… what…?" Rudy listened carefully.

"I will stop becoming your mother and live my life as your lover. So you don't have to call me mom anymore. No more rules or anything. Only Rudy and Rebecca."

Rudy stayed quiet and took a moment to think about Rebecca's sudden decision.

"Fine." He shortly nodded. "If you think that's better, then let's live that way. I am okay with that. But remind me if I accidentally call you… you know…"

"Hmm."

Rudy patted Rebecca on the head and kissed her on the forehead.

"Good night."

"Where are you going?"

"Probably at the pool house. Janet wants to meet my harem. And she is… kind of… you know… the type of girl who wouldn't go down without a fight."

"Yeah," Rebecca chuckled softly. "I am well aware of that. I have seen her grow up with you. You two used to fight all the time, but makeup at the end of the day."

"..." Rudy raised his brow with a confused look on his face.

"You don't remember?"

Rudy shook his head and uttered, "The only memory I have of Janet is… of school… a bully at school…"

"Well…" Rebecca pulled up the blanket and turned around. "Good night. And good luck."
