Chapter 235: ANIMALS!!

Olive let out a low breath.

"Loui, humans work during the day and most of them only get to have a good time during the evenings, so these places bustle a lot at night. Therefore, we are quite at a huge advantage if you ask me."

"Their lives are pretty similar to ours, just a difference in time."

Loui gradually nodded his head, having grasped an understanding of Olive’s words. As long as the sun does not hinder them, they might actually be able to return with something.

"See you by six, Loui." Olive stood up from the couch. "I have some things to finish." He walked off to his room before he could even receive a response from Loui.

Avelina settled down on the table beside Draven at the pavilion. It was once again the last day of the first week of a new month, and so everyone, including Old Master Lenort and his sons, was having their early morning breakfast.

The atmosphere was chill and quiet, and this was exactly how Old Master Lenort wanted it to be. Some peace and quiet.

But this was until Natasha suddenly coughed.

Old Master Lenort halted eating. He raised his gray orbs to stare at Natasha in annoyance.

"Is there a problem?"

Natasha smiled at him. "Of course not, father. I just want to wish you a happy birthday in advance."

"Oh..." Old Master Lenort let out a soft breath. "Merci." He continued to eat his food.

"Apparently, no one has been willing to say that to you, so I thought I should be the first." Natasha chuckled. "Maybe they would afterward, haha."

Ryan coughed hard, almost spitting out his food. What was wrong with Natasha again? Why would she even make such a statement?

Lilianna and Aurora’s faces crumpled so badly, but it didn’t amount to how horribly Avelina’s face had scrunched. Never had she cringed so awfully at someone’s behavior and stupidity.

"I’m sorry, but why would you say that?" Aurora questioned Natasha.

Natasha raised her brow at her. "And why are you questioning me? Do you not have manners anymore that you now get to speak to me however you like??"

Aurora flickered her eyes in incredulity.

"Oh my goodness, you have got to be kidding me!" she grumbled. "Are you even listening to yourself? Do you know how stupid you sound?"

"Who are you talking—"

"I am talking to you, Natasha!" Aurora glared at her.

"I’ve had enough of your childish behavior! You wished father before everyone else, great, that’s just great, but did you have to point out that the rest of us haven’t and that you were the first to do so?" she further questioned.

"What exactly were you even expecting our reactions to be?"

By this moment, Natasha’s face had turned deep red in fury. "You wench!!" She got up from her seat, raising her hand to slap Aurora, but Ryan gripped her wrist, stopping her.

"Enough! Stop it!" Ryan heavily scowled at her. "Don’t embarrass yourself any further than this and sit down!"

Natasha’s eyes blinked rapidly in disbelief. Why was Ryan yelling at her? Shouldn’t he be siding with her?

"But Ryan, she—"

"Did you just try to slap me?" Aurora asked. She could not help but cackle, amused.

She smiled, shaking her head. "You are lucky your husband stopped you, otherwise, I would have worsened that face of yours and made it twice as terrible as it was when you had those disgusting rashes!"

Natasha’s body shook violently, and she began to breathe uncontrollably, infuriated.

Avelina, who was by the side, grabbed her spoon, which had a good amount of pudding in it. She pulled it back, aiming it at Natasha, and the second she let go, the pudding flew out of the spoon, slapping against Natasha’s clothing. Swiftly, she continued to eat as though she were not the culprit.

Natasha slowly turned her head, her body trembling in rage. She gazed at Avelina. "You did that, didn’t you?" she questioned.

"Huh?" Avelina raised her head to look at her.

"Who?" She glanced from her left to right. "Me? What are you talking about? I didn’t do anything." She shook her head. "I’m just enjoying my food."

Natasha widened her eyes, getting more infuriated by the second. "You little bitch!" She cursed. "I’ll make you—"

"ENOUGH!!" Ryan yelled at them. "Just shut the fuck up and keep quiet!"

"Oh, please do not speak to me like that!" Aurora frowned, heavily displeased.

She went ahead to say, "If you cannot even shut your wife up, do not lay such a command. You both disgust me!" She turned around, storming away to her quarter. For some reason, her mood was quite terrible that morning.

Ryan was left dumbfounded by such an attitude. Never had he seen Aurora behave or speak in such an insolent way. What had gotten into her? How dare she speak to him like that?

He looked at Lumian with widened eyes. Lumian did not say a word to him but simply closed his eyes to take a deep breath.

He pushed back his seat, stood up, and left the pavilion. Lestat and his wife, Lilianna, followed suit.

The only ones who had yet to utter a word at that table were Draven and Old Master Lenort himself.

Draven wiped his lips with the towel and stood up from his seat. "Merci," he said to Old Master Lenort, grabbed Avelina’s hand, and left the table with her.

"You bitch!! You will not get away with this!!" Natasha screamed at her.

Avelina glimpsed her, smiling. "I’m glad your rashes are gone. I’m really glad." She chuckled.

Old Master Lenort gazed at their disappearing back before standing up and slamming his hands on the table.

"ANIMALS!" he yelled, furious.

"Ryan, if you do not hold your wife back, I will discipline her myself! I do not condone stupidity, and you of all people are aware of that," he warned.

"And you..." He shifted his gaze to Natasha. "Learn to behave. I will not take it lightly with you the next time you ruin a morning breakfast like this."

Natasha blinked her eyes in disbelief. Why was she getting blamed? Aurora started it first!
