"...Friends? Best friends? You and I?"

Rita took aback from the sudden change of Isabella's attitude.

She quickly let her go and tried to create little distance between them but Isabella moved quickly and grabbed her both shoulders to prevent her from going away.

Seeing the over excited nearly drooling face of Isabella Rita starts to regret choosing Isabella but now it's too late to step back.

How could she step back when Isabella had the tight grip on her, So she had to bite her tongue and question her.

It's best to know what is going on in her head to prevent her from embarrassing her in front of her man.

"Of course you, Only a best friend, reach out a helping hand in their dire situation."

Isabella excitedly hugged Rita as she started babbling to her.

She was ashamed and anxious to face Alex because of what was happening between him and her son Nathan.

The bad blood between them was also affecting her to stay neutral.

Though she did not rush home and decided to stay even after hearing what those so-called bodyguards wanted to do to her son but she still was willing to drop everything for Nathan that showed she put her son before Alex, she was ready to rush back home even knowing he was angry at her.

That can be misunderstood as her son holds a more important position in her heart than Alex.

Which is the case, Yeah her son has the highest position in her heart above anyone else but her heart itself belongs to this indescribably beautiful guy the moment they met.

But knowing her son creating trouble for Alex everywhere and Alex big heartedly forgiving him over and over again was making her ashamed of her son a little, on top of her own guilty conscience preventing her from facing Alex.

That's why even though she woke up a while ago, She did not reach out to Alex as she did not have the guts to face him, ask for his warmth agin, when in exchange she only showed him her coldness.

But now that Rita reaches out her helping hand, She now has the excuse to talk and speak with Alex. She would apologise to him and ask for forgiveness on behalf of her son.

This way his anger would also subside and her guilty heart also be at ease.

"......Can I take the offer back?"

Rita suddenly felt bad in her heart as regret of doing what she did set in.

"Of course not."

Isabella cheerfully replied back, while still holding onto her body not allowing her to move even an inch.

'What the fuck I did.''

Rita drank the bitter tears of regrater as she muttered namaste under her breath.

"Why is there no water in here?"

Alex looking through the fridge muttered to himself in a questioning tone.

He did not notice it previously, but now he came to know that there was no water bottle in it. It was all filled with soft drinks and sodas, And of course leftovers only Gaia knows for how long it's in there.

"Should I eat these?"

Alex pulled out one leftover dish which has a slight mold in it, after smelling he started to wonder if he could eat these.

Thorough normally he would have not spare a second thought before throwing these in the trash but now he was feeling hungry.

Which was reasonable after the increase in his strength and getting a new bloodline, His body needs more energy to work normally.

These needs often get filled by the spiritual energy aka QI or Mana but he didn't have any direct ways to gather those. He has to depend on his passively creating and supplementing Mana.

His physique of Legendary Incubus helps a lot in gathering QI and Mana but given he is half-step SS-Rank awakened, He either needs to increase his daily intercorse rate or get the direct cultivation technique.

Food may help to quench the demand of energy for his body but he is too lazy to cook for himself alone, So he gives a thought about eating it.

Anyway he who has the god-level cooking skill concluded that these are edible as long as he use his flames for burn off bad stuff plus his enhanced physique can even digest a pure poison not to mention just some stale food.

*Ding*

A boy ate 1 week old leftovers, This is how his kidneys shutdown.

When Alex was thinking about using his flames to disinfectant the leftovers before eating it, His mobile phone on the kitchen table top rang notification informing that his favorite morbid curiosity Metuber uploaded a new video.

The moment he read the title, He nonchalantly picked all the leftovers and threw them all into the trash can before tossing tiny flame parts into the trash bin which immediately burned everything completely, not even leaving the ashes behind.

Though his body can take care of it, He still didn't want to risk it as he remembers he is the Villain, Even with Villain Halo he should be cautious.

"What a pity."

Alex murmured as he shook his head in disappointment as so much edible food went to waste but he had no choice, He didn't want to be featured in those videos.

He picked up his mobile phone from the kitchen table top and swiftly stored it into his system inventory.

Then having no choice, I reached out for the soda cans and also put it into the system inventory.

Though he prefer water, He realised he can add this stuff into their act for more fun.

'I should concentrate on getting that Dual cultivation technique.'

Alex after doing that rubbed his energy deficient body as he focused on getting the dual cultivation technique from Jake's hand as soon as possible.

For now he has to settle with Jake's little assassin and Nathan's beloved mother to quench his huge hunger.
