Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 298 Meal Together

After hearing Alix's response, Adora sighed.

"Oh? So you're not going to sleep on the bed? I didn't think a pervert would disagree with that, it's sad," she said with a smirk to which he scoffed, knowing she was deliberately teasing him.

"I don't mind sleeping next to you; you're quite comfortable," he replied, and her cheeks flushed slightly as she turned away from him.

"Idiot," she said and he chuckled before lowering the temperature of the air conditioner because the room was already very cold.

"I guess tomorrow we have to get to work, huh?" Alix asked as Adora sat on the bed.

"Yeah, we don't have much time to waste," she responded.

"You're right, there's no time to waste, and I have a feeling they are already here," he said and she glanced at him.

"That is possible," she replied to which he sighed.

"Well, the sun is setting, so we might as well see what we're having for dinner," she said as she stood up and left the room, and he followed her down to the living room, where the others joined them after they had finished settling in.

"Guys, let's make dinner tonight, there's a lot of stuff in the kitchen," Nina suggested, and Adora smiled and wrapped her arm around the girl's neck.

"Shall we then begin cooking?" Adora inquired, and she nodded.

"Well, we shall try different things tonight," Adora said and they smiled.

"Also, we can all watch a movie and relax tonight," Misran said and Adora looked at him then he smiled and the others agreed including Adora.

"We will help," Ifrit said as he and Alix and Kyris joined Adora and Nina, as well as Sarah and Eliza, in the kitchen, which was connected to the living room by an open front.

Eliza wasn't much of a cook, but she knew her way around the kitchen and could assist.

While they were in the kitchen, the others sat in the living room, turned on the television, and started watching a few things to kill time since they decided to relax the night and watch a movie together.

"You know, this is my first time seeing you cook a lot more, personally," Adora said as she began tending to the dumplings after they decided to try different foods from different cultures.

"I can say the same thing, do you need some help?" he asked and she smirked.

"No, thank you," she replied, and he scoffed. They continued gathering recipes for the things they wanted to make, and without further ado, they began cooking.

A while passed and they finally finished cooking dinner.

"Guys, it's done," Adora said, clutching her right arm, as Ifrit looked at her.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry about it," she replied, before they loaded the food and drinks onto a trolley and wheeled it to the others, where they sat and exhaled deeply.

"Good work," they said and they laughed, then switched on a movie to watch and they all took their food and began eating.

"Man, I forgot how exhausting cooking can be," Ifirt remarked as he ate, and Adora chuckled.

"Well, it's been a long time since you cooked, but glad to see you still have it in you, Ifrit," Adora responded, his eyes narrowing.

"I see, well that's because of you so, thank you for believing in me," he said and she smiled.

"You are welcome, now let's just focus on the movie and nothing else," she replied and he nodded then continued eating.

Adora's eyes glowed red as she ate, and she sighed as she noticed it in the reflection of the glass table before her.

'I better be the one to continue training or I might be the one to lose it, I am kind of worried about what will happen with Alix when he finds out, anger is not something that can be controlled under a whiff, once it's touched, depends on the rage within you, that's how some might act, even destroying those in front you,' Adora thought as she sipped her drink and closed her eyes before exhaling deeply, and they returned to normal within a minute.

"Here," Alix said, handing Adora the wine bottle, which she collected before pouring herself a glass and returning the bottle to the table.

"Thank you, Alix," she replied and he smiled

"You're welcome, are you okay?" he asked, and she glanced at him.

"Of course I am, why shouldn't I be?" she inquired.

"Because, a sort of heavy feeling came from you just now," he responded and she smiled.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," she said, and his eyes narrowed as he looked at her, and she felt another gaze on her then saw it was Ifrit, and her brows twitched.

"I'm fine, you two," she said.

"I said nothing," Ifrit replied.

"Stop it," she said and he sighed then the others laughed.

"OK, if you say you are fine, I'll take your word for it; for the time being, but I will keep an eye on you." Ifrit responded, then Adora turned to face Alix, who had returned his gaze to the television.

'I didn't realize, damn it, I can't let that get the best of me,' Adora gnashed her teeth then finished off her food.

"Guys, I am done, I will just go get some fresh air outside, it's cool and nice out there," Adora said then got up and walked out of the villa, onto the back porch and looked at the beach which was empty at the time and sighed as she walked onto the sand and the others looked at her.

"I suppose that's fine," Nina said.

"I think we should leave her to relax, she seems as though she needs it, there must be something bothering her again, something that she doesn't want to talk about as yet," Alix replied with a scary smile, and Nina flinched before she nodded, knowing Alix might be right and Alix gave Adora a sidelong glance before finishing his food and the girl placed her feet by the water, allowing the cold water to wash against her feet.
