My Yandere Wives are Transcendents

Chapter 328: THAT HURTS IDIOTS!!!

'Snap, Snap...'

'Crackle, Crackle....'

'Pop, Pop....'

The fire snapped and crackled, its flames licking eagerly at the logs, accompanied by the occasional pop as sap bubbled and burst.

Eli watched the fire with a contemplative gaze, his eyes reflecting the warm glow of the ember in front of him. He shifted his position slightly, feeling the weight of two useless children lying in his lap.

Eli's heart softened as he observed them, knowing that despite their antics, they were still children at heart.

He resisted the urge to scold them, recognizing that within every mature adult lay a dormant child.... yearning for release.

With a gentle touch, Eli reached out and softly ruffled their hair, his fingers trailing through the strands.

"How long are you guys going to keep up this act?" Eli's voice was soft, laced with amusement as he addressed the seemingly sleeping children.

"zzzzzzzzz!!"

"zzzzzzzzz!!!"

Their faux snores filled the air, a comical attempt at feigning slumber. Eli couldn't help but suppress a smile at their transparent charade.

'THUNDER!!!"

"BOOMM!!"

Outside, the Thunderstorm raged on, the sound of thunder reverberating through the walls.

Arlyne and Pearl clutched Eli's thighs tightly, their small frames trembling with fear.

"Grrrr," Eli gritted his teeth as he felt the pressure of their grip, a twinge of discomfort shooting through him. He couldn't help but entertain a fleeting thought, 'If you guys held on any tighter... I might have actually died!!'

Despite the tension, Eli remained composed.

"E-Eli," Pearl called out, her voice trembling as her eyes fixated on the lifeless ground that seemed to still suck away lives.

"Hmm?" Eli tilted his head, a silent inquiry forming in his mind, 'So, you're not pretending anymore?'

"W-What are y-you?" Pearl stammered, her voice trembling with fear and uncertainty, her gaze darting nervously between Eli and the strange, reddish-black substance that seemed to cling to him like a sinister shroud.

Arlyne's grip tightened around Eli's thigh, her body trembling with a mixture of fear and curiosity, her breaths coming in shallow, uneven gasps. She, too, was desperate for answers, her mind racing with unspoken questions.

If they asked what they feared more... then it would be Eli.

They had avoided asking, respecting each other's secrets. However, confined with Eli in this closed space, their curiosity and fear bubbled to the surface.

"Oh? I see..." Eli nodded in apparent understanding, though his sceptical gaze said he did not believe her single word.

With a red face, Pearl turned away, her embarrassment evident in the crimson flush that stained her cheeks, as she avoided Eli's probing gaze.

"And Let me tell you, this is my secret that not even my wives know, so..." Eli said with an awkward face.

'Ba-Dump, Ba-Dump'

'Ba-Dump, Ba-Dump'

""Hmm""

Both Arlyne's and Pearl's hearts skipped a beat before they glanced at Asher Eli and a small voice released as they nodded with slightly red checks.

Then,

"Why don't you ask Vampire Queen?" Arlyne suggested, her voice laced with curiosity and a hint of apprehension. She believed that if anyone had answers, it would be the Vampire Queen herself. However, a nagging thought lingered in her mind, 'Could this be why she sponsored him in the first place?'

"Well..." Eli's gaze met Arlyne's sky-blue eyes, his expression troubled as he muttered softly, "I don't want them to look at me like I'm some kind of monster... and fear me," sadness evident in his tone and inwardly added, 'She also my wife now...!!'

Arlyne and Pearl flinched involuntarily, a shiver running down their spines... They nodded in understanding... The Fear still lingered in their hearts.

But Arlyne, seeing the sadness etched on his face, acted on impulse, her hand reaching out to gently touch his cheek.

"Nothing will be solved if you keep everything bottled up inside...." she said softly, her voice filled with empathy.

Eli and Arlyne locked eyes, a silent exchange of emotions passing between them, until...

'Cough, Cough!'

Arlyne snapped out of the moment, her face flushing bright red as she quickly withdrew her hand, burying her embarrassment by lying back on Eli's lap.

Eli's lips curved into a light smile as he observed Arlyne's reaction before turning his attention to Pearl, who was shooting him a glare.

"What?" Eli asked, amusement evident in his tone as his gaze trailed down to her neck.

"Hmph, nothing!" Pearl huffed, unable to understand the sudden surge of annoyance she felt.

Eli couldn't help but smile at her reaction, recognizing the signs of discomfort and uncertainty in the face of unfamiliar emotions.

They say that when isolated with strangers..... The only way to open their hearts is by opening your own.

Though he debated internally whether to reveal the truth, seeing the trust reflected in their eyes, Eli knew that he craved their trust just as much as they craved his.

And now, it was his turn to uncover the information he needed to know.
