Chapter 670: Trouble Always Found Me!

It wasn\'t me who was looking for trouble but it was trouble that always found me!

Before I made a sound, Ruby spoke, "I took a break and was about to see you," she said. Despite the crowd that surrounded us, it felt as though we were in a haunted house and she was the ghost.

"Really?" I tried to keep my voice steady as I responded to her. I even tried to put my best smile on my face. I knew Ruby was not someone to be messed with, and I knew that we were in deep trouble. Okay, not me but Tiffany.

As Ruby\'s gaze shifted to Tiffany, I could see the color drain from Tiffany\'s face, and I knew that she was terrified.

"But who knows I\'ll meet you here with her..." Ruby\'s voice hissed like a snake, and I could see the clear jealousy in her eyes. Yes, it might sound ridiculous but it was Ruby after all. Besides, wasn\'t Olivia ever jealous of Larry before?

Just as I was about to open my mouth to say something, Tiffany\'s hand on my shoulder stopped me. I turned to her, and she looked at me with a sense of urgency.

"Ethan, I just remembered today is my laundry day!" she said quickly, her voice laced with fear. I could see from her pale face that she was lying, but I knew that she was afraid of Ruby and she knew that she had to get out of here before it was too late.

"You know---" I was just about to calm Tiffany down, but she interrupted me.

"Good luck step bro," she whispered. "I hope you will survive..." And with that, she dashed away, leaving me standing there.

It made me cringe. I couldn\'t believe that Ruby\'s bad reputation was known by all demon hunters.

"So Ethan..." Ruby\'s voice interrupted my thoughts. I turned to face her, trying to keep my emotions in check. 

"Why are you with her?" Ruby asked again, her eyes piercing into mine. I didn\'t answer, instead, I just gave her a flat stare and approached her casually. An exhale came out of my mouth, trying to calm myself down.

Gently, my finger tapped on her forehead. "She\'s my step-sister, and we just went through a really bad day. Don\'t scare her like that," I warned her, my voice calm but firm.

Despite her words, my calm tone suggested otherwise. Indeed, I didn\'t like what Ruby did, but after what I saw from my mom\'s memory, I felt Ruby was way better than my mom. At least Ruby cared about me, and her feelings for me were genuine.

My gesture made her eyes widen in shock, and her hand instinctively touched her forehead and rubbed it gently. Her eerie expression faded, and her cheeks started to blush. I couldn\'t help but feel a sense of satisfaction, knowing that I had broken through her tough exterior.

"You want to talk, right?" I offered, my voice calm and collected. "How about a talk at your cafe?" I suggested, hoping to diffuse the situation and ease the tension between us. "Also…" I took the bag from her hand and smiled. "I will assume this is for me. Thank you..." I said, trying to lighten the mood. It was a small gesture, but I knew it would mean a lot to her.

Then I started walking in the direction of the cafe, my mind filled with consideration of what I should tell her. But after a few steps, I stopped and turned to her, who had not made a single step.

"Are you coming?" I asked, my eyes on her.

She just stood there, stunned. Her eyes were wide and her body tense. I could see the surprise and shock etched onto her face. Perhaps she was taken aback by my casual reply, or maybe she was surprised that I didn\'t run away like last time.

"What else are you waiting for?" I asked, gesturing for her to follow me. I was determined not to let the awkwardness between us linger any longer than necessary.

"You\'re not afraid of me? Or run like last time?" asked Ruby in disbelief. Her amazement was clear on her face, and I couldn\'t help but find it amusing.

I chuckled, trying to ease the tension between us. "Why should I?" I asked, my voice soft but firm. "Or would you prefer me to be afraid of you?" I teased, hoping to put her at ease.

Last time, I had run away from her, not because I was afraid, but because Larry had pulled me away. I wasn\'t really scared of her. After all, with my strength, I was not afraid of anything… except betrayal. I had learned that lesson the hard way, and I wasn\'t about to let anyone get the best of me again.

Her head shook back and forth in a quick, almost violent motion. The question had caught her off guard, and for a moment, she struggled to compose herself. She took a deep breath, trying to steady her racing heart.

I smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. "Great," I said, turning around and walking down the busy street. "Let\'s go to your cafe. I\'m feeling a little hungry, anyway."

She nodded. Happily, Ruby chased after me, her steps light and quick. Once she caught up to me, she didn\'t hesitate to hug my arm.

"We have a new menu," she said, her voice filled with excitement. "I think you should try it!"
