Chapter 17

ETERNAL SHADOWS ~~ CASTLE
Ava opened the bedroom door and walked into it before going to the restroom.
Lucian was downstairs sitting on the chair with eyes closed. He was still angry and had it been Ava didn't hold him back, he would have ended Rina right there.
Ava came down wearing a black oversized t-shirt and a black bum short.
"Hubby" She called and he opened his eyes.
They were red already.
She sat on the table in front of him and he stared at her.
"Could you please calm down?" She asked and he just stared at her.
"Please" She pleaded but he still wasn't calm.
She then thought of something and smiled before leaning close to him.
She kissed his cheek and his eyes grew wide for a second before it went back to normal.
She smiled.
"Smile for me" She said, his eyes went back to color black.
"Or do you want me to frustrate you?" She whispered, wiggling her brows.
He rolled his eyes and she smiled.
"My hubby is cute" She said,
"Do you still plan on going to work?" He asked.
"Do you want me to go?" Ava asked with a smirk and Lucian scoffed.
"It's a yes or no answer"
"Same as you hubby"
"I told you not to....yunno what, do whatever you want" He said and she laughed.
"Good boy" She said rubbing his head and he held her hand.
She smiled and she remembered something.
"You were jealous this morning" She said with a smirk and he smirked.
"I wasn't jealous, I was making sure that guy doesn't fall for my wife. It doesn't mean I was jealous" He said and let go of her hand before standing.
She smiled standing as well.
"I guess I'll go back to the restaurant, they'll definitely need my help"
"Okay" He said and he sped upstairs before coming back down with a blue baggy jean.
"Put this on" He said and she smiled before taking it from him. She wore it on top of the bum short and she smiled.
"Let's go hubby" She said and he groaned.
"Wait a minute" She said and rushed to the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of blood.
She brought out a glass and she turned the blood into the glass.
She covered it and kept it back into the refrigerator before gulping down the whole content.
She smiled and cleaned the glass with water before keeping it back into the refrigerator..
"Now we can go" She said coming back to him and he opened the door.
They left the house and he held her hand as he sped them out of the castle, out of Garberville and into the city. He stopped and they walked to the restaurant which was not that far.
"If I get enough money, I'll buy a power bike" Ava gushed happily.
"What's that?" He asked and just then someone who was riding a power bike passed by them speedily.
"That's a power bike, ain't it cool?" She asked and he nodded.
They arrived at the restaurant and Jason rushed to her wanting to hold her hand but Lucian stepped forward.
"Any problem?" He asked and Jason ignored him before facing Ava.
"Are you okay now?" Jason asked.
"Yes, thanks for asking" She replied.
Merlin came and her eyes brightened.
"Ava dear" She said and rushed to give her a hug which Ava reciprocated before breaking the hug.
"Jason said you got injured, are you okay now?" She asked and Ava nodded.
"Yes ma'am, I am okay and strong" Ava said with a smile.
"Thank goodness" She muttered.
"I'll go put on my apron now and get back to work" She said and Lucian nodded.
She walked past the table where the man was and he stared at her back side.
He and his wife actually left before buh he secretly came back because of Ava.
Lucian saw him and his gaze darkened.
"Do you want anything to eat sir?" Merlin asked.
He looked back at her and simply shook his head.
"I'll take my leave" He said and Ava turned to look at him when she got to the door of the kitchen.
"Bye hubby" She said and blew a kiss to him.
The man looked at Lucian and he gulped.
The way Lucian stared at him gave him the chills. His aura was so cold and the man had to quickly look away.
'That's her husband?' He thought.
'Nevertheless, I still want her and I'd get her' He thought with a smirk.
He waved at her before exiting the restaurant. Jason stared at the man's retreating figure before going to meet Ava who just entered the kitchen.
"Heyy Chloe. Did you miss me?" She asked rubbing her shoulders with Chloe.
"At all" Chloe said and Ava laughed before tying her apron.
"Are you sure you should still be at work? You were hurt and all" Chloe said and Ava smirked.
"You care about me" Ava said, wiggling her brows and Chloe rolled her eyes.
"Not really. But you were injured, so shouldn't you be resting?" Chloe asked.
"I'm okay now, don't worry" Ava smiled and Jason came to Ava.
"You sure?"
"For the millionth time, yess" She said and Jason smiled.
"Let's go and get the orders of the customers" He said and she nodded. They both walked out of the kitchen and the man called for Ava.
She frowned before walking to him.
"What would you like to eat?" She asked, faking a smile.
"You" He whispered and her eyes widened.
She smirked.
"There's no 'you' on the menu. Do you need glasses sir?" She asked.
"No, I mean I want you" He whispered, licking his lips.
"And I repeat, there's nothing called 'you' in the menu. Look over it again sir and when you've decided, you can call for me" She said and smiled before leaving.
The man frowned and thought of something. He smirked before leaving the restaurant.
