Rebirth as The Vampire Lord's Wife
Chapter 227: Sudden Headache

Chapter 227: Sudden Headache

Gavriel was utterly speechless to see Iris appearing in his yard with Justin.

He had celebrated too soon, thinking his source of headache, Justin, wouldn’t bother him today. But he was wrong. After cursing Justin in his heart, he walked out to meet them.

A forced smile framed his face, "Hi, Iris... why are you guys here?" he asked, standing a few steps from them. He could see clearly that Justin didn’t want to make eye contact with him. Justin’s gaze was not as sharp as Iris’s, which made him feel more comfortable. On the other hand, Iris’s gaze was so piercing that it gave him chills.

"It’s because of you that we’re here, Gavriel," Iris gave him a half-hearted smile before continuing, "You displayed your ability in front of him; now he’s curious about your teleportation and wants to learn how to do it..."

Gavriel’s mouth twisted upon hearing her words. He narrowed his eyes, observing Justin, who still avoided eye contact. "Justin, are you sure you want to learn from me?" His tone seemed casual, but Justin perceived it as a scold, a warning.

Justin shook his head, "N-No, uncle, I don’t want to learn from you..."

"Hahaha," Gavriel couldn’t help but laugh. "I had a feeling this kid might be—"

"I’m not joking, Gavriel," Justin’s serious tone abruptly halted Gavriel’s words.

Gavriel narrowed his eyes, observing Justin closely. After a few seconds, he talks to Iris through her mind, ’—Iris, has he returned already? Why do his tone and gaze resemble the mature Justin I know?’

Iris was also stunned, mirroring Gavriel’s surprise. For a brief moment, she thought of the mature Justin who spoke with them.

’I’m not certain...’ She answered him, feeling confused.

’Did he fake it?’ Gavriel turned his gaze toward Iris. Seeing her with a confused expression, he continued, ’I mean, he’s healed but pretends he’s not...’

Suddenly, Iris felt stunned. She hurriedly checked Justin’s memories to verify whether Gavriel’s guess was accurate. However, before she could do that, Justin’s words nearly caused her to cough.

"I want to learn how to teleport from my pretty sister," Justin continued, smiling widely as he looked at Iris. "Can you teach me how to do that!?" He asked while offering his hand to Iris.

Iris was left speechless.

’Holy Fuck!! Why does he sound like he’s proposing to you?’ Gavriel’s voice resonated in Iris’s mind, shocking her.

Iris, "..."

’Should I ask Niles to prepare Justin’s coffin? I’m a hundred percent sure your husband will send this little imp straight to his coffin if he sees this.’ Gavriel continues his words.

Iris tried to respond several times but couldn’t find any words to counter Gavriel. He was indeed correct. If Xavier saw how Justin was staring at her — this foolish Justin would likely meet a fiery end.

’Iris, what’s your command?’ Once again, Gavriel’s voice echoed in Iris’ mind.

She glanced at Gavriel. ’Do you want him to die?’

Gavriel shook his head. Despite this little imp giving him a headache in the last three years, he didn’t wish for Justin’s demise. ’No. Of course not!’

’Good! It’s best if you teach him instead. Handle the mess you created... I can’t teach him; lately, my husband’s easily jealous of him.’ Iris smiled at Gavriel, but he responded with a glare. ’Oh, you’re declining?’ she narrowed her eyes at him.

Gavriel "..."

He couldn’t handle this little imp, or his headache would strike again. Now, he scrambled to find a way to escape this situation. But before he could find a good excuse, he nearly vomited blood upon hearing Iris’s words.

’Fine... if you refuse!" Iris’s soft voice rang in Gavriel’s mind. ’But, Gavriel, don’t blame me if I tell Lucian and Xavier that you forced Justin to watch... R18 movie...’ an amused grin crossed Iris’ lips.

Instantly, Gavriel’s face turned stiff. He wanted to turn his gaze from her, but he couldn’t, as if Iris had cast a spell on him.

Feeling embarrassed, he could only scold Justin in his mind. This is not what he expected — this little imp is digging his own grave.

When Iris saw Justin not utter any words, she continued in her playful tone, ’Well... Gavriel... Now, I understand why you’re always eager to watch that kind of show every time I carry out my mission—’

Gavriel, "..."

’Iris, it’s not what you imagine,’ Gavriel finally defended himself. It felt shameless to say this, but he had to clarify before these rumors spread, especially if Xavier and Lucian heard.

Iris’s brow arched slightly. ’What do you mean?’ she asked, somewhat confused.

’Listen, Iris... What I did was solely to help him regain his memories,’ Gavriel explained, sharing Silvana’s advice on how to help bring back Justin’s deep memories.

After hearing Justin’s words, Iris remained confused. ’So, what does that have to do with you forcing him to watch a movie like that? Gavriel... Please don’t impose your hobby on—’

She stopped her words when she noticed him raising his hand, his face darkening.

’That’s not my hobby, but this little imp hobby!’ Gavriel interjected, pinching his temple as an instant headache surged. ’I made him watch because I thought it might trigger his deep memories; before this incident, he enjoyed that stuff—’

Gavriel halted his words; he regretted exposing Justin’s dark secret to Iris. Now, he feels in trouble—If Justin regained his memories in the future, he might seek revenge.

...

Gavriel and Iris’ intense glare confused Justin.

"Pretty sister, Uncle Gavriel, are you both fighting? Why do you two look so scary?" Justin asked in a worried voice, sounding almost crying.

But none of them looked at Justin. As Gavriel and Iris still communicate with each other, who will teach Justin to awaken his abilities?

Justin was even more worried, "P-Pretty sister... please answer me, huh!?" he said while tugging at the hem of Iris’ shirt to draw attention to her.

Still no answer, he also pulled the hem of Gavriel’s clothes, "Uncle, please stop fighting with sister. If you don’t stop, I will tell Handsome Brother Xavier that you bully pretty sister..." he shouted to attract Gavriel’s attention.

This time, Justin’s success.
