Chapter 438: Contract out!!

"Okay, babe, Scar, stop spinning. I don’t know what’s going on in your mind but you need to put it on pause right now."

Esong sat upright and pushed his body forward. His legs and hers met in the middle, touching while they faced each other from the opposite luggage pods on which they were sitting.

He put his right hand over his heart and assured her, "I did not do anything inappropriate last night. Folsom and I spent the night in a testing room. We tested a bunch of weapons, drunk a whole lot of beer and fell asleep. That’s it, nothing like a pleasure house. I am actually offended that you would think so little of me. Have I ever given you a reason to think that I would visit a pleasure house?"

He folded his arms across his chest and gave her an accusing look just like the one she was giving him.

Scarlet on the other hand was aware that she was behaving rashly but for some reason, something in her refused to back down.

"You snuck out of our bed at night, rejected my calls and barely answered my texts. Did you think that I would be dancing in joy over your uncharacteristic behavior?"

She felt energy being released from her body without her will.

The lights in the cargo storage blinked as if they were experiencing a power surge.

"Well I didn’t think that I would be accused of infidelity?" Esong retorted.

She rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest as well. When did she make any accusations? All she did was mention the possible thoughts any normal wife might have when her brain was operating on a two digit IQ as hers was doing lately.

She seemed to be becoming more irritable, impatient, impish and sleepy. Most of the time she attributed her new changes to the pregnancy.

"Name one accusation I have made here?" she doubled down and asked.

Esong groaned and lifted his hands up. It was if he was begging the skies for help. "You brought up the pleasure houses."

If that was not an accusation of infidelity then what was? She might as well have painted the words adulterer on his forehead.

"To make a point." she answered in a slightly raised voice. "I have you back for only seven nights and you choose to sleep outside our home for one of those nights, of course I am going to be curious or pissed."

"I have explained what happened, I was working." he said calmly.

"Right." she answered. "That doesn’t explain avoiding my calls, or were you working as well."

Esong sighed and run his right hand through his hair. He could not understand why they were arguing over this issue. It didn’t matter anyway, he had started it all by sneaking out in the night like a thief.

He reached both of his hands out and took hers, holding them tightly.

"I am sorry, I should not have snuck out at night. I should have left a note or a text telling you about what I was up to.

I should have come home for breakfast or told you that I would not be able to make it because I had a stupid hangover and I didn’t want you to know that I had spent most of the night drinking."

They always ate breakfast together, alone or with Justin. She had probably waited for him and set out his breakfast only to be let down when he didn’t show up.

Did she feel lonely? Is that why she was so angry with him?

"As for the unanswered call, there was a meeting of all the generals with the emperor so I couldn’t pick. It’s the same reason as to why I have been mostly absent all day.

It has nothing to do with you or us, and more to do with the Lunar federation and an upcoming expedition to the planet of Solaris. Scar, I have been thinking about our marriage really hard and I....."

His face froze suddenly, not a word more was coming out of his mouth.

"Esong." she waved her hand in front of his face. "This is not funny you jerk."

Suddenly she realized that he really wasn’t moving, he seemed to be frozen.

"Drink this." A voice in her mind said.

"Lythia." she said.

A cup filled with a red liquid appeared in Scarlet’s hand suddenly. It was thick and sort of gooey, a mixture of what looked like jelly and blood with a not so pleasant smell.

"Eww." Scarlet said.

"It’s for the babies, I underestimated how much they would overwhelm you. They outnumber you and they are more powerful than you are.

This should keep them calm for a while, until they take on human shells."

"What is it?" she asked.

"You don’t want to know." Lythia answered with a chuckle.

"I know, but I won’t tell you. Scarlet you can trust me, I care about the babies more than anything. It’s harmless, I was there every step for it’s preparation." Carnelia chimed in, loudly making her presence known in Scarlet’s mind as well.

Severus had told her to trust Carnelia, especially when it came to the children.

Apparently she was already secretly collecting baby clothes from different worlds and referring to herself as a grandma deity.

She pinched her nose and chugged down the red liquid. To her surprise, it was not bitter at all. It sort of had a blackberry taste and other things that she had no idea of. It was kind of salty though.

"Mmm, it’s actually tasty. I would not mind drinking this every now and then."

She could even the changes in her body already, the discomfort in her stomach was gone and so was the irritation and anger she had been feeling.

Lythia chuckled and the cup disappeared from Scarlet’s hands.

"You should trust in me more. Anyway, I will see you in five days, I have some news to share with you."

"Me too, I have news to share too." Carnelia added.

"Perhaps we can start with the harpy you sent which seems to have somehow bonded with my brother. Isn’t one non human in my family enough?" Scarlet could not resist mentioning Lanta, she was Carnelia’s minion after all.

"You sent a harpy to her!!!" Lythia shouted.

"Carnelia," the old deity roared.

"Uhm guys, can you not argue in my mind."

They were too loud and would give her a headache if they kept it up. What did they think her mind was anyway, their personal playground?

"Remember to eat the hell fruits, don’t miss a single one." Lythia reminded her.

All went silent after, and she knew that they were gone. Esong’s eyes moved, and so did his hands.

He squeezed her arms and the words which had been paused when time froze came out.

"I want us to throw the contract out." he said.
