Chapter 139

139 Chapter 139: Pregnancy 10Emy, Reed, and Devin have returned to the human world. They immediately went straight to their husband’s room. Reed sat Emy on the sofa in the living room, and Devin got water for Emy. Reed even looked at Devin as he handed the glass of water to Emy.

“Thank you,” Emy said as she handed the glass to Devin. She turned to Reed. “I’m hungry.”

Devin and Reed looked at each other. “Which food do you want? Human food or demon food?” Devin asked.

“Devin...” Reed scolded.

“Human food.”

“Okay,” Devin said, chuckling.

“You rest in our room first. I’ll ask Becky to cook some food.” Reed said.

Emy nodded, and Reed helped her to stand up. You can notice the weakness of Emy’s body as if she is starving. Emy has no noticeable change in her physical body, but the inside of her body is gradually weakening.

Emy was surprised when Reed suddenly picked her up. She immediately hugged his shoulder as he carefully climbed the stairs. After a while, they reached the room. Reed carefully laid his wife on the bed and kissed her.

.....

“Sleep first, and I’ll wake you up when everything’s okay.”

Emy nodded and closed her eyes. After a few minutes, Reed noticed that the woman was fast asleep. He carefully stood up and walked out of the room. He didn’t expect to see Devin outside the room when he opened the door. Reed carefully closed the door and started walking toward the stairs.

“What if we kidnap someone?” Devin asked. “Emy must have been hungry when we got back here. The air in this world is delicious, full of delicious aromas from human emotions.”

“Do you have a plan?” Reed asked. He couldn’t believe he would work with Devin just for Emy and his heir.

“I thought of something to do. Let’s try it.” Devin said. “I’ll be back.”

Devin suddenly ran down the stairs and left the house while Reed left on the stairs. Reed took a deep breath. Emy’s pregnancy will not be easy.

“My king...” Becky suddenly appeared from the kitchen. It was standing not far from him.

“Make Emy some food,” Reed said.

Becky nodded. When Becky left, he left the house. He released black smoke, and it swirled around his house. It protects against those who try to enter his yard and harm his son and wife.

“Reed...”

Reed turned around, and Emy’s father was standing before him. He has a paper bag.

“Dad...”

“You guys are back. I’ve been coming back here for a few days.” Eddie said.

“Ah, yes, father. I have good news for you. Let’s talk inside.”

“Good news?” Eddie asked.

Reed and Eddie walked into the house together. They immediately went straight to the kitchen, where Beck was busy cooking. Eddie approached Becky.

“What are you cooking, Becky?” Eddie asked.

“Bulalo.”

“Why did you come here, father?” Reed asked. “let’s talk to the living room?”

They walked into the living room. “Because I don’t have anyone to be with at home. The kids are at school, and I’m the only one left, so I thought I’d visit you. Where is Emy?”

Eddie sat on the sofa, and so did Reed. “She’s resting in the room, maybe tired from our flight.”

“Oh, is that so?” Eddie said. “Is it okay if I stay all day?”

Reed smiled. “No problem with me. Emy will be happy to be with you.”

“What is the good news you were talking about earlier?”

“Emy is pregnant.”

Reed stared at Eddie’s reaction. He can see the satisfaction on his face. He was delighted to know that Emy was pregnant. Reed couldn’t stop smiling.

“I’m happy for you both,” Eddie said. “Haist, it’s my sign that I am old now. I’m going to have a grandchild.” he looked at Reed. “I’m going to give you a warning and some advice. When Emy’s mother was pregnant, there were many demands and wants. Sometimes, I looked for food for her in the middle of the night. You, you should be ready for such a situation.”

“What would your wife ask for when she was pregnant?”

“I remember she was looking for a mango the size of a grapefruit. Fortunately, someone was selling it in the market then, so I bought it for her.” Eddie looked back at Reed. “Everything your wife wants to eat or do, follow it. Even if you know it’s impossible, find a way. It’s for the baby.”

“I need to remember what you said,” Reed chuckled. “Since you’re here, Tay, can you stay with Emy first? I have to go and meet someone.”

“Sure. Just do what you must, and I’ll care for Emy.”

——

Marita did not expect Reed to visit her that day. She transferred to another place, so she wondered how he found her.

Marita put the glass of wine on the table. “What were you thinking, and you suddenly visit me? Do you need anything?”

“You’ve lived in this world long enough to know everything about humans, and I want your expertise.”

Marita smiled and then drank the contents of the glass she was holding. “Wow, a king needs my expertise.”

“My queen is pregnant...” Marita was stunned. “And I want you to help me with Devin.”

“Pregnant? She’s not a demon yet, right?” Marita asked.

“She’s a human.”

“Do you want to kill her? I thought she was your queen.” Marita said. “Because you won’t get her pregnant if you want her to be your queen, you should first make her a demon like us.”

“That’s why I need your expertise because it just happened.”

“Damn, Reed, you’re eating and penetrating her, and it’s just happened?” Marita said.

“Tell me, what should I do? She is not satisfied with human food.”

“Hmmm... that’s hard...”

“I didn’t kill anyone that’s against the agreement...”

“Agreement?”

Reed glanced at Marita. “You don’t have to know.” then he drank the rest of the wine.

“If we could put only human emotions like a take-out box, it would be easier,” Marita said. “Anyway, take her to a place where she can eat. Like in a war or a huge accident....”

“It’s dangerous for her that I take her to those kinds of places. She’s pregnant.”

“I know, that’s why I’m suggesting you. Besides, you’re with me, and you said that Devin would also help, so there’s no reason for her to get hurt if you’re with her. That’s the better idea I thought of to help. Ask Devin if he has anything else in mind idea.”

Reed just shook his head. It seems that he has no choice but to follow Marita’s suggestion.

——

“Devin....”

Eddie was surprised to see that Devin was with a man. He even brought him to Emy’s room with whom he was talking. Eddie and Emy looked at Devin, who just stared at the two of them.

Eddie examined the man, who had his hands clasped together as if tied but couldn’t find any ropes. The feet are also in contact. The man’s eyes were filled with fear, but his lips were bound, and he could only hear groans.

“I didn’t know you were here, Tay,” Devin said. He glanced at Emy while Eddie stood up and approached Devin.

Meanwhile, Emy’s mouth was slightly open as she stared at the man. Devin could see Emy eating the fear from the man she was holding. Fear is an emotion that can overcome the hunger for demons. He was in such a hurry that he couldn’t find someone with anger in his heart. An act of revenge that envelops the human heart was the strongest emotion they could eat. It was like an expensive wine in the world.

When Devin made sure that Emy had eaten, he said goodbye to Eddie.

“We’re just playing, Dad. I’m going to take him home...” Devin said, then quickly pulled the man out of the room.

Surprisingly, Eddie didn’t ask any more questions. He turned to Emy, who was standing behind him.

“Let’s go down, Tay. I want to taste the snack you brought.”

“Huh? But we haven’t had lunch yet. Eat lunch first so my grandson won’t be hungry.” Eddie said.

Emy just smiled. Emy’s body seemed to relax when she felt the fear of the man with Devin. She didn’t know what Devin had done to the man to scare him like that.

Reed and Devin meet outside the house, and Reed notices the unconscious man Devin is dragging by the hand out of his yard.

“What....”

Devin looked at him with a smile. “Emy’s hunger is gone but not enough because he wasn’t too scared.”

“She ate it? How?”

Devin laughed. “Jeez, Reed, how about we eat?”

Reed immediately left Devin and hurried inside the house.

“I’m too lazy to take you. Just go home alone.” Devin released black smoke, and the man got up and walked towards the road. When a taxi came by, Devin immediately got in it and left to go home alone.

When Reed entered, Jody and Eddie were coming down the stairs. The return of Emy’s vitality is noteworthy. He immediately approached the two.

“How are you feeling, wifey?” Reed immediately caressed Emy’s cheek.

.....

“It’s fine,” Emy said.

“Come here, Reed. Let’s have lunch together.” Eddie said as he hurriedly walked to the dining room. Devin arrived and immediately followed everyone into the kitchen.

“Do you feel okay about what Devin did?”

Emy nodded. They stood at the table while whispering so that Eddie wouldn’t hear.

“Yes. I don’t know how it happened, but baby seems to like what Devin did.”

Reed held Emy’s stomach. “I and the mages don’t know how long your pregnancy is. If you’re a normal demon, it’s only one week, and by this day, your belly should be big.”

“Let’s check up with the doctor later,” Emy said.

“Alright. Let’s take dad with us. He says he’s bored at home.” Reed said.

“I, too, will go with you. The more, the happier.” Devin said, smiling.
