Chapter 673: Death Stares

The Incubus System Chapter 663. Death Stares

Ethan's PoV

The cozy atmosphere of Tutty Fruity maid café enveloped me as I sat at a small table. Ruby was sitting by my side, a wide grin spreading across her face. A plate filled with my nearly finished meal was in front of me.

"Open your mouth~," she sang, the spoon in her hand holding the final piece of pancake hovering just in front of my lips. I couldn't help but feel a slight sense of unease as I opened my mouth, allowing her to feed me the last morsel.

I glanced around and noticed a group of men staring at me with a mixture of envy and contempt. I felt uneasy under their scrutinizing gazes. Their jealousy made the once pleasant atmosphere feel stifling, and I couldn't wait to leave the café.

'Why are you looking at me like that? It's not my fault, you know,' I thought, internally grumbling as I chewed the tasteless pancakes. It should have tasted good, but they were bland in my mouth due to their stare. I wondered if their envious stares would lead to something more sinister.

"Here, let me help you clean up," she said sweetly, taking a napkin and gently wiping my mouth. Her touch was delicate and her movements were almost romantic as if she was performing some kind of enchanting ritual.

"I need to go home now. I'm sure Celia is already worried about me," I reasoned, trying to escape from her. I thought I could talk about many things with Ruby or even use my skill to read her mind, but with everyone's attention on me, I had to discourage myself.

The disappointment was clear on her face, but she didn't press the issue. "Why? Is there any problem?" she asked.

Yes, I hadn't told her about my mom either and decided not to say a thing to her. After all, all she did was sit by my side and spoiled me. She was like a parasite-type demon clinging to me.

"Not yet, but if I don't come home soon it will be a problem," I said. My voice sounded firm and decisive. If I said yes, she would surely ask me to stay, and she would use that as an excuse to hold me longer.

"I see..." she said, a tinge of disappointment in her voice. "I thought we could spend a little longer. But it seems I was wrong."Th.ê most uptod/ate novels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m

I stood up from my chair, feeling a sense of urgency to leave. "Yeah," I said, my voice low. "I will excuse myself now." I hoped that my words would be enough to signal to Ruby that I needed to go, but it seemed she had other ideas.

"Thank you for today, Ethan," she said, her voice filled with genuine joy and warmth.

I was stunned, unsure of how to react. Not under this much attention. I could feel the mood in the cafe shift. The entire cafe seemed to come to a standstill. Everyone was watching, their eyes fixed on us as if we were the only two people in the room. I could feel their stares boring into me, their expressions ranging from disgust to jealousy to hatred. It was as if I had committed a crime as if I had taken something that didn't belong to me.

Their expressions were intense, and their eyes locked onto me with an intensity that made my skin crawl. It was as though they were sizing me up, determining whether or not I was worthy of the attention that Ruby had bestowed upon me.

My thoughts raced. 'She's really planning to kill me, huh?!' I screamed internally.

With a forced smile, I replied, "No problem." Without another word, I turned on my heel and bolted out of the café.

'I should take Celia with me next time,' I reminded myself.
