Chapter 783: Annoying Dilemma

The Incubus System Chapter 773. Annoying Dilemma

After that event, we found ourselves seated at a table in a fast food restaurant. The aroma of freshly cooked burgers and crispy fried fries filled the air.

Plates piled high with delicious food were placed before us, but... our eyes were drawn to Ruby, who was sitting across from me, eating her meal with childlike innocence and sweetness.

Despite everything that had happened, she seemed unbothered.

She took a sip of her drink and chatted animatedly between mouthfuls as if the haunted house incident was nothing.

Meanwhile, Celia, Tiffany, and I ate without the same enthusiasm.

”You know, I thought you guys went to the cemetery, so I followed you guys. I wanted to pay respect to your late dad,” Ruby said. Her eyes swept across each of us, as if searching for any sign of belief in her story.

But we knew better.

ʼNo… You simply followed us since you knew we werenʼt going there.ʼ

I bet Tiffany and Celia also thought the same.

I chomped on my chicken nuggets.

”Just donʼt bother us. We just want to have fun, and this is a rare opportunity,” I said firmly.

I hoped that my bluntness would make Ruby understand that we needed some space.

”Itʼs okay, I can understand that,” Ruby replied as she waved her hand dismissively.

However, there was a flicker in her gaze that betrayed a hint of something more. Her eyes landed on me, and I could almost see the gears turning in her head as if she were considering something.

”Besides... Letʼs consider this as...” Ruby began, reaching out as if to hold my hand.

However, I swiftly caught her hand before she could make any physical contact.

I gave her a death stare.

Her shock was evident, and for a moment, she seemed at a loss for words. It was rare for me to display such open aggression, but I knew it was necessary.

My frustration bubbled.

”Like I said before, this is a rare opportunity. I want to spend my time with my sisters and have fun. Donʼt test my patience...” I hissed.

This trip was meant to be an escape from our problems, especially the pain we felt from our momʼs betrayal.

It was supposed to be a time of bonding and creating cherished memories together, but Ruby messed it up.

I had reached my limit and I was ready to put my foot down.

It wasnʼt just about the haunted house incident.

It was about the lack of respect and consideration.

Rubyʼs smile faded, replaced by a look of genuine remorse.

”Sorry,” she said softly. ”I just donʼt want to be left out...” She withdrew her hand.

Her head lowered slightly.

”I know you might think Iʼm really annoying, but I have my reasons for that…”

Rubyʼs response piqued my curiosity.

”For example?” I asked, my voice neutral.

She hesitated for a moment, her gaze drifting to the side as she stared out at the glass wall beside us.

I followed her line of sight, noticing two men sitting on a bench, casually munching on popcorn. Their gazes were fixed on us.

They were the senatorʼs spies.

”---I want to always be with you and make sure youʼre okay,” Ruby finally admitted.

ʼRight, itʼs them again,ʼ I thought.

I guess Rubyʼs clingy behavior was driven by fear and paranoia.

She believed that by staying close to us, she could offer protection and keep us safe.

”Iʼm fine,” I replied curtly.

”You are,” Ruby acknowledged, her smile unwavering.

”But we donʼt know when disaster will come. So, I want to spend as much time as I could with you,” she continued.

”If you want his attention, you should just act normal. Whatʼs with those questionable acts?” Celiaʼs words were direct and pointed.

Ruby frowned, clearly taken aback by the unexpected accusation.

”What do you mean? I did not commit any questionable act,” she retorted.

I exchanged glances with Celia and Tiffany.

”Stalking at your crush is a questionable act, you know?” I chimed in.

Rubyʼs eyes widened in surprise, as if she hadnʼt expected her actions to be labeled as such.

It was clear that she saw her actions through a different lens.

”And leaving without any news for three months is also a questionable act,” Ruby shot back, her tone defensive once more.
