Chapter 159

**Acacia Point of View**

"What do you think? Don't you both think that your son is now even more adult-like than you two are?"

Igses crossed his hands over his chest, with a smug smile, he wiggled his eyebrows proudly. I and the almost-shirtless Jerk looked down at the kid and for a while, we didn't know what to say.

It's not because of his smugness but because he really did a great job with the gathering. I heard from mom and dad that the every single arrangement was thought and planned out by Igses and Noemi, implemented by the staff.

The kids did not take any help or advice from adults and did everything by themselves.

And it was actually well done!

"You both did an amazing job. You took all small and big aspect into consideration; I love it." I pulled his cheeks and kissed him on his face.

One thing I always make sure is to praise where and when necessary. I believe that it builds confidence in kids and they tend to make more open decisions as they grow up.

So without hesitation, I picked him up and complimented for well done job. I wanted to do the same to Noemi as well but noticed that the little girl is going around the whole cave with a smile as she greeted everyone, instructing staff to serve drinks and just doing everything that a Lady from an old English family would do in a ball.

She is living her character!

"Are you sure they are only six and not sixty?" Aviva, who has been in her own world with a certain commander finally made her way to the reality.

"Tell me about it. After coming here, it feels like both the small mushrooms found their wings." I put Igses down and he immediately went on to entertain the guests.

"You are awake already?" I looked at her smiled teasingly.

"Don't do that. You know we did not do anything and he promised to touch me on our wedding night." Viva glared and said in an almost displeased tone.

"I did not mean that. I did not expect you to wake up from your love bubble already. You have been like a ghost from past several days, always disappearing suddenly. I heard you and Eelk are planning to get married as soon as possible?"

"What do you know? It has been very hard to manage work and dating simultaneously. Anyway, yes, we are indeed thinking of getting tied to each other as quickly as possible. You know how my parents are so it took some good effort on Eelk's part to win their favor. I heard he only has a mother and she still back in kingdom. A few days ago, he went back and got her permission too. Once the date is set, she will be brought here to attend the wedding and if possible, she will continue to stay here in our world."

Not bad!

They took care of everything by themselves.

But one thing is for sure, Eelk will truly make a great husband.

"Then what are you waiting for? Why aren't you getting a wedding date yet?"

"Eelk is looking for an auspicious day that will go well with both of us as per our birth stars." Right! How did I forget about the superstitious side of these people!

However, their belief in astrology or the likes is not fully on the false grounds. I did see and experience a bit of power of astrology back then when I was in the kingdom.

I nodded and teased her a little more. While I was chatting with Aviva, Ruby and Anne and just took a sip of fruit soda into mouth and suddenly spewed it out when I saw something outrageous.

"Hey what happened?" I shook my head and took wet wipes from them to wipe my mouth.

I looked at the disastrous crime scene from before and notice that the criminal was still continuing with his despicable actions.

An automatic fold of confusion, disgust and something else unnamable came up on my face when I looked at the criminal, Tzalmon The Jerk.

I can't believe I'm seeing this and mostly, I can't believe he is doing it.

Tzalmon the Jerk, right now, is looking at me with a hazed smile and - he - is rubbing his hand over her torso, trailing his fingers over his own body as if showing off something.

First look, it looked extremely disgusting! Especially his hazy half closed eyes!

Why the hell is he feeling up himself, dammit?

What is he doing in the middle of decent crowd?

If he is trying to be inconspicuous with his sudden madness, then he is failing hard because apart from me, there are a few more struggling pair of eyes on him with the same expression as me.

I shifted my gaze and looked at Liam who is playing cards with his friends and my male friends also noticed this weird species called The Jerk and kept stealing glances at him with a scowl.

As much as I know about my brother, this act of Jerk's has set himself on my brother's wrong side.

I noticed a few more strange gazed from guests around so I had no other choice than to go to him. I walked towards him with a glare and stood right before him and acted as if I stumbled right at that moment while the glass of cold ice water in my hand poured over him.

"Are you conscious now?" Was the first thing I asked once he got over his shock from the sudden incident.

"Eblilis, why did you do this?" To answer that, I provided him with another glare.

"What the hell are you doing just now? Have you gone mad? Are you possessed? Why were you... being shameless in a public place?" Even a person without magical powers can see the smoke coming out of the top of my head.

I'm seething!

"You don't know?" He exclaimed.

What nonsense! Why would I know and what would I know? He is being a weirs pervert and how would I know anything?

Did I ask him to do that?

"Don't spit nonsense. What should I know?"

"You did not feel anything?"

"Does disgusted, uncomfortable, confused, frustrated count?" Something akin to irritation and disbelief crossed his face.

Seriously?

I should be the one to feel them right now!

"What exactly are you doing just now? Do you know how improper you were setting off yourself before people? Do you how many were looking at you and your indecency just now? There are kids here and you were being crazy. Say, were you taking steroids?"

He silently looked at me without answering for few moments. When he saw impatience on my face, he moved a little closer to me and asked with a sad face.

"Did you not feel attracted to me?"

"Uh?"

"Do you see this?" He pointed towards the upper half of his body that was not covered with a shirt.

"Of course; I'm not blind."

"Then what do you think of it?" What is he getting at?

I almost wanted to hit my head against a wall. "Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"Nothing."

"You don't think I have a perfectly sculpted body?"

"That thought did not cross my mind." I answered honestly.

Jerk's face withered a little more than a second before. "You did not feel any attraction towards my masculinity?"

"Uh, no!"

"Don't you think you hypnotized by my body heat?"

"Nonsense."

"I wonder if you have necessary hormones to feel that way." He muttered to himself.

"Hey, what do you mean?"

"Any other girl would be drooling buckets when they look at this perfection. Look at you; we already have a son together but you still don't know how to appreciate beauty."

That was when I finally realized what is going on.

He was not feeling perverted for himself but he was trying to seduce me!

"Have you gone mad? Who seduces a woman like that?"

"Everyone. I'm sorry to break it down to you, Eblilis but do you know anything about romance and seduction?" I can feel his destitution in my bones.

But hey, how can he claim that I don't know anything about romance?

This is pure accusation!

"Of course. I am totally romantic at heart." I straightened my back and tipped my head up proudly.

"Are you sure? I specially came out this evening shirtless for you and you did not even feel a speck of casual desire. What romance are you knitting up in your heart?" His words, his tone, his accusing eyes; everything pointed insults at me.

He is questioning me on romance?

"Did you ever think that the problem is not in me but maybe you are not as eye catchy as you claim to be?" As soon as the words left my mouth, it was like the pillar of his life was destroyed.

He stumbled back a few steps with a hand over his heart as if something hit him hard.

"Impossible. Even I am just standing there fully clothed, anyone with eyes and heart will at least exclaim at me. You are the only one who doesn't feel anything. Eblilis, I apologize but are you still menstruating? Have you already experienced menopause?"

And this time, my hand was over my heart and I stumbled back when his words hit me.

Does he think I'm a dry tree?
