Chapter 324: I’ll Behave
With Dan having already confirmed that the Balon they were after was indeed Edward and he was currently nowhere to be found at this rate, Raine immediately decided that it would be best for her to stay with Cali while his men tracked down the mutant in question. That monster was definitely just waiting for the right time to move. He wouldn’t leave them alone till he finally got his prey with him.
Outside the house, Raine quickly dialed Xander’s number, who had just arrived recently with his wife Yera to celebrate a small reunion with Rui and Cali. The two had finally reconciled because of her help in pushing Cali to her limits, with the amnesiac finally realizing just what exactly she felt for Rui.
Ringing her phone, Raine burst out with enthusiasm as soon as Xander answered her call. "Hey, tell Rui to treat me to a nice meal. I’ve solved the case already, and I’ve pretty much nabbed the culprit." She paused for a brief second, then she suddenly backtracked, "Oh, wait... Don’t tell him. I’ll personally come there to break the news to him and join you guys for dinner."
With Xander also being like Rui in that Raine loved to tease them both, she seductively finished off with a small chuckle. "Also... I miss you a lot too, Dr. Xander."
That was when she ended the call. Chuckling to herself, she was sure that Xander was already in a cold sweat by now.
Excitedly, Raine continued on with making her way toward Rui’s house with her baggage still in hand. Reaching her destination, she immediately pressed the doorbell to make her presence known. A few seconds later, it was Rui’s servant who opened the door for her. Nodding at the servant, Raine let herself in and casually left her baggage down in the living room. From there, the servant led her to the dining area where everyone was already seated and waiting for her.
"Wow, I’m starving," Raine said as her eyes drooled at the sight of the feast laid out on the table.
Not bothering with pleasantries, s he immediately sat directly on a chair close to Xander. Just as quickly, the latter suddenly stood up from his seat, scurrying away to sit near where his possessive wife was currently seated.
Shrugging, Raine simply ignored the awkward ambiance before her as she continued to drool at the meals before her without a care for her surroundings. She was really starving already, and her previous argument with Nathan left little to sate her appetite as she left him. Thankfully, she was going to eat now, and she didn’t mind the possessive wives around her currently conspiring against her. Likewise, the cowardly husbands clearly didn’t want trouble with their wives by having her presence there.
