Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 999: A Scoop! - Why are they all here?!

Hearing Quinn say that, I first turned to Alexa to see her reaction but this time, she looked like she wasn't against it in a way because as she was right now—to be completely honest, she looked like she was having a lot of fun.

It was totally different from their previous day-to-day activity where they'd need to reach a certain quote or else a fucking bastard would start breathing on their backs for a punishment.

I haven't exactly established what they'd do back in my place but it would be the same thing they were doing before except for the threat of getting used for sex. Granted there will be a lot of other work, hobbies, or activities they could branch out to but after some time, if she decided to help Quinn out, I wouldn't be against it even if Seb decided to follow after her.

'They shouldn't feel the need to stick together as a group all of the time…'

Their "relationship" was still a little weird at the moment because she was still involved with me, Kaley, and everyone else in our circle of sorts. Still, in my opinion, they should figure out what they really wanted to do first before getting back again potentially or doing some other thing that was also out of the norm.

Some couples had this particular kink that I wouldn't name at the moment but unless it were life or death, I sure as hell wouldn't participate even if I would fill in the role which was named after a certain animal.

In any case, I couldn't believe how bold she was because she decided to free-hand her design all the fucking way like a person would answer crossword puzzles with a fucking pen.

I thought she'd put in tapes to catch her mistakes—assuming from the personality I thought she had—but yeah, I didn't even think she was a prude that correlates to being extra careful or a little shy because I was kind of the same thing about different aspects of life or in the way I do things.

'Jumping in solo to a horde with just my katana? Sure! Cracking a joke to Kaley while she's on her period? Absolute not! Calling for a doctor's appointment? Prolly need to prepare for three days to do just that…'

With that said, I didn't even realize time passing in a blink of an eye because once I saw Kaley coming down from the second floor with some coffee, I looked at my watch and discovered it was already a little bit past midnight.

'What the—'

"You three need a break! Seriously!" Kaley exclaimed as she waved us off and shoved a glass in each of our hands.

I gave her a quick kiss before I tried to scare her with my paintbrush, "I didn't even notice you guys coming up."

Alexa couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the time, "What?! I-I'm barely done!"

Quinn followed after taking a sip, "Eh? There's some alcohol in this… Fuck it. Do you have any idea how long I went without working on my place? I'm not sure if told y'all but this here really calms me down. Not as much as getting laid but you get the gist."

Then Kaley turned to us with a knowing grin:

"Guys… Mrs. Sandy and I got to talking earlier and~ I got a little scoop—"

'She looks a little tipsy but she did go down the stairs without a hitch while carrying a tray…'

Quinn rolled her eyes, "Gossip? At this hour? Greaaat~"

Alexa was a little excited though:

"A-About what?! Tell me!"

Then Kaley turned to me, "How about you? Wanna hear it? It's really spicy!"

I chuckled as I shrugged my shoulders, "You're gonna tell us anyway so—"

Then she cut me off, "You remember her telling us that she's in her 50s while we kept telling her she doesn't look it at all?"

"Yeah?"

"Guess what? She slipped! She's not in her 50s at all!"

Alexa had the shock of her life, "Wait— No way she's in her 50s! Not even early 50s— HOW?!"

Quinn followed, "She slipped in what? In a time machine?"

Kaley rolled her eyes, "No, silly doofus! You see, I asked her when she gave birth to Chloe and it was in late 2001 but she made a comment about giving birth in her early 20s was hard for her so don't you think that the Math's off by at least 5 or even 10 years?! That's a lot! Shh!"

Then I began to get invested as well, "If she's not actually 50 and let's say she gave birth to Chloe at 20, wouldn't that mean she's— Oh fuck—"

Then Quinn cut in, "Then she's in her 40s? That would make more sense we're almost the same age but why would she tell you she's in her 50s?"

Kaley shrugged her shoulders as she leaned on me with her cup, "That's what I wanted to know! Chloe and Mimi told us two *pointing to me and herself* last time that she was in her 50s and she also confirmed that— but why would she tell me she had Chloe in her 20s—"

I cut in, "Were you guys drinking?"

"Yeah! She's not as drunk when we were chatting but she's knocked out now… Everyone's asleep except for Tatiana who's taking her time in the shower if you know what I mean…"

"She could've just made a mistake?"

Alexa interjected, "Or a slip of the tongue as Kaley said?"

Kaley nodded vehemently, "Right?!"

Quinn rolled her eyes again, "I couldn't care less. She's a fucking MILF, that's what matters. Wanna have my way with her too when we all… you know?"

Alexa interjected, "But how about Chloe? She's also… you know… right?"

Kaley meekly replied, "Umm… That's maybe a story for another day… It's a gray area too, if you know what I mean… She fell asleep before I had the chance to probe a little into that topic… But it seemed pretty recent… Something must've happened when we drove away…"

"Oh… Oh?! What?!"

I waved all of them off, "Guys… Stop, alright? I dunno what's making all of you this fucking obsessed with Chloe, Dr. Nichols, and her past but she probably has her reasons for allegedly hiding her age and whatnot.

Remember, she used to hold a major position in the hospital of my old university—two, actually… and d'you think they'd just make her a department head if she somehow had an early pregnancy on top of being a woman? Trust me, those people would pick at anything to bring her down even if it's something irrelevant to her position."

Kaley looked at me sideways, "Early pregnancy in her twenties?"

I joked, "Would you have a kid with me now?"

Alexa almost spat out her drink while Quinn looked like she wanted to bring the subject now but Kaley had already sprayed the floor when I asked the question as she was taking a sip:

"What?! That's too—"

I wiped her face as I said the phrase, "You see what I mean? You're one of the most understanding and progressive person I know but even that's too early for you. Imagine what it looks like for them. They might not show how judgemental they are on the surface but you'll definitely feel it even if you're EQ's like mine if you're in there long enough.

And that's the worst type of people to me than the ones calling you out in the open and telling you things that wouldn't help her case nevertheless."

"..."

"..."

"..."

I continued, "So~ What we should do about that information right now is to keep it to ourselves unless she brings it up and if she ever did, we just look a little more relieved because looking like that in her 50s is fucking insane, even for a guy."

'It's a slim chance but it'll be less weird if she didn't actually have Chloe herself…'

Kaley chuckled, "True… Would you still look at me like this even if I'm in my—"

I cut her off almost immediately, "There's another trap question I'll graciously avoid~ I'm off to work again, see ya later~"

"B-But!"

"Pfft…/ HAH!" Alexa and Quinn started chuckling/laughing from the side.

Though I did give her an answer as I picked up my paintbrush, "Even if we're in our 90s, I'll still look at you the same way though I'm not exactly sure if our eyesight's gonna be that good—"

"T-Then how about in our 100s?!"

"Kaley— You've drank a bit much, sleep that off!"

"J-Just give me an answer!"

"I'm probably dead or would want to be dead if I hit that age because I probably wouldn't be able to move like I used to— but yeah! You know the fucking answer to it and you should stop asking them because of that!"

With that said, I thought Kaley would just ask more random questions—that actually help us because it was keeping us awake other than the coffee—but I just felt her hugging me from behind before she kept giving me kisses while being too giddy and whatnot because she still had a bit of alcohol in her system.

I thought it'd eventually turn into one of those nights with her but I just found her sleeping soundly a couple of minutes later.

But yeah, once I tucked her in bed, it did turn into one of those nights with just Quinn and Alexa. Let me tell you, we tested all of the cars' suspensions for short bursts before we actually finished our work but it was a job well done, to say the least.

I didn't think everyone else—especially Tatiana—wouldn't wake up from the noise we were making because we picked up right where we left off and turned the short bursts into a full-on all-nighter from the back of my Raptor.

And yeah, once everything was all accounted for, we had breakfast and said our goodbyes to Quinn's group—especially Mr. Ng—but we were up two vehicles because I was now driving Jackie's Impreza while Quinn was back to driving her DB9.

Jesus and his crew still led the way straight to Mr. Cuervo's domain though we were in for a bit of a surprise the moment we arrived safely.

'The fuck— Why are they all here?!'
