“You being at home is all that matters,” Thomas sighed with relief upon hearing Olivia’s response. He hung up the phone and rushed back to the Northpine Villa. He needed to be by Olivia’s side. What if the Crimson Moon had sent someone to target her too? What if they had, but the person hadn’t arrived or made a move yet?
“You being at home is all that matters,” Thomas sighed with relief upon hearing Olivia’s response. He hung up the phone and rushed back to the Northpine Villa. He needed to be by Olivia’s side. What if the Crimson Moon had sent someone to target her too? What if they had, but the person hadn’t arrived or made a move yet?

Fortunately, Thomas was merely paranoid. The Crimson Moon had only dispatched the Twin Demons. Their plan was straightforward—to kill Thomas first and then retrieve Olivia. There was no need to send another group for such a simple task.

“Come, join us for dinner.” She rose to her feet and went to get utensils like a homely wife.

Thomas went upstairs directly. He was still suffering from his injuries, and his shirt had been torn by the Twin Demons’ swords. Therefore, he needed to change his clothes immediately. Otherwise, she would get worried if she saw his injuries. So, he swiftly wrapped the wounds with gauze, put on a fresh set of clothes, and then called Chloe to confirm her safety. Once he knew she was fine, he went back downstairs.

Ophelie looked at Olivia with her big, teary eyes and asked pitifully, “Olivia, I’m hungry. Can’t we start eating?”

Olivia shook her head. “Wait a moment. Thomas will be here soon.”

“Pfft, Olivia, such favoritism,” Ophelie grumbled.
