Chapter 27 Relationship Tip!

Medusa became genuinely annoyed by the old man's prying, she had no answer to his questions. And was definitely not in a position to explain anything, because if she said a word about their conversation from yesterday, she had to disclose the incoming of Ceres too.

Although the succubus was surprised how Mr Jones did not sense her father's aura in the house. Every specie had its own peculiar aura to differentiate, which could be tracked and sensed by everyone. It rose her suspicion even though she was relieved for no interrogation in that matter.

Jones poured vegetables in the bowl and mixed it, when he resumed his speech about Kayden. The man was persistent in getting a reply from her no matter what it would be. His eyes were fixed on the changing expressions of the succubus which confirmed his hunch.

"You know sometimes I have trouble in talking to Kayden too. Even though he is my son and I know him inside out, but at times his words hurt me,"

He bent to take out the cooking oil and poured it in the pan, while casting a keen gaze at Medusa who was still laying on the sofa staring at the roof. A smile appeared on his face and he could not fathom her nature, he praised that she was a good listener unlike his own son who was hard to deal with.

"Although I can't kick him out or leave him because he is my own flesh and blood. Do you remember you accused me of luring your queen?"

Medusa flinched a bit upon the brought up of an old chat, she did not expect Jones to still hold a grudge for it. However she did not make any move instead preferred to first hear him out. The succubus required some head pats and someone to talk to, thus she did not interrupt Jones.

"I didn't lure or tricked her, she felt the similar emotions which you are experiencing right now. For you it is a vulnerable state which you are afraid off, but for us the perceiving and acceptance of it was different. We were ready to experience the consequences together."

Jones put the beaten eggs batter in the pan and waited for her response. Medusa inhaled deeply and sat on the sofa with her legs crossed. She looked at Jones with a teary gaze while attempting to hold back her emotions. Jones wanted to hug her and console like a daughter but did not want to step the boundaries. What if she did not like it!?

"I want to understand him, to know what's going on in his mind. What he thinks, feel and see the things. But he sees me as his blood servant with the intent to just feed on me either way."

She mildly complained to Jones about Kayden' intentions, which he was totally aware off. It was expected from a troubled kid who was mocked his whole life for having no powers. Kayden was now incapable of trusting someone, including the fact he treated Medusa as his blood servant; it was related to his resentment towards women after Anna.

Moreover since he was not ready to open up with any other woman, Kayden preferred to just feed on her while constantly putting her down with his intentional harsh words. The succubus could not take it anymore, she felt her emotions were nullified by Kayden just because she was his servant bound by blood.

"And how do you want him to see you?"

Jones stirred the omelette and raised his question this time. Medusa was taken aback by his words which caught her off the guard with the direct-ness and the audacity. However she hesitated in replying to him due to inability of comprehending her own feelings.

"I...I don't know, I just want him to treat me nicely."

She responded in a shallow tone as Medusa became uncomfortable by her own words. The succubus realized that whatever she felt towards Kayden was a bit of mixed emotions. A fusion of jealousy, possessiveness and annoyance crept into her heart.

"Maybe then you should first figure out what do you want from him? Although don't worry, I will talk to Kayden to change his behaviour towards you."

Mr Jones tossed the omelette in the plates and shoved the bread into the toaster. They both talked calmly while Jones cooked not to waste any time, he was already getting late for university.

Medusa nodded at him and forced a smile over her face, she had to keep a good relation with Jones till her stay in the vampire realm. Since the old man knew a lot about their powers and Kayden' unusual blood group, they needed him to teach and to control the outbursts of Kayden.

"Now hurry up go and call Kayden for breakfast. tell him to get his ass down here in twenty minutes."

He settled the plates and tried to lighten the atmosphere, Medusa stared at him with a dumbfounded expression. She just complained about Kayden to him and the next moment he was sending her back to his room.

"Who? Me?"

She pointed out at herself and inquired again, assuming her ears must have heard it wrong. Whereas Jones rolled his eyes over her dumb question, they both soon returned to their old mocking self.

"Now who is being a fool here, huh? Is there anyone else in the room apart from us?"

The old man placed his both hand over the navel region and squinted his eyes over her stupid question. On the other hand Medusa pouted while faking anger and got up from the sofa. She had to face Kayden either way sooner or later due to her responsibility of protecting him.

"Fine, I will go. But if he snapped back at me for waking him up, I'm gonna beat the shit out of him. Okay?"

She warned Jones while walking out of the lounge, while the old man laughed and permitted her to do whatever she wanted with Kayden.
