The two girls were happy to see each other in the mortal world.
They hugged each other and were full of smiles.
Breaking the hug, lissa said, "it seems you made your move."
Nix nodded her head. "I did. Though it still feels very weird to plot my own husband's demise. I feel like I am turning into a psychopath."
lissa chuckled. "Right? I am glad I get to be the observer and can stay away from all this."
Nix squinted her eyes as she heard that. "You know, l sis, it's still very fishy and suspicious."
"What is?" lissa asked while getting into Alex's old car, a Honda Civic.
Nix got into the car as well from the other side and continued, "you making the rule of the winner being an observer and then actually winning."
lissa turned to Nix and said with a chuckle, "that's just a coincidence."
Nix didn't buy it. "I would've believed it's a coincidence if it wasn't coming from YOU."
lissa started the car and shrugged. She looked at Nix and winked. "What can I say? I'm just a normal person."
"Normal person? You!?" Nix was flabbergasted.
"Hehe." lissa didn't reply and drove off to the grocery store while Nix expressed a disappointed look.
Back in the yard, Alex was done cleaning the grill and now went to heat up so charcoal.
It took him a minute to light so charcoal on fire and he let it heat up and get the grill hot.
While that was getting done, Alex took his phone out and typed in the needed groceries.
Once finished, he went back to set up the grill.
There were two chambers in the grill, one where there was more hot charcoal and one with fewer ones.
This created a hot and relatively less hot area for different types of heat.
Alex was done setting up the grill by now and was wondering whether he should join his parents and talk to them or sit and do so work.
His thoughts were put to an end however as he got a call from his wife.
Alex picked up the call and on his phone's screen, his wife's beautiful face appeared.
She had video called him, apparently.
"Honey, where are you?" lissa asked.
"In the backyard, finished setting up the grill," answered Alex calmly.
"Oh. Good, good. I am having so trouble here. Look..." lissa pointed the cara on the at section in the store.
Over the video, she continued, "there's so much at here..."
The cara view then changed and lissa's silver-haired face ca into view.
"...but the only one I want is yours," she bit her lip seductively after saying so.
"..."
Alex was speechless and had no idea how to respond to his wife's blatant flirting.
lissa then pointed the cara at a packet of eggs. "Pa-steur-ized eggs... you see it honey? These are pasteurized eggs. I don't like them. I like my eggs..."
The cara pointed back to lissa's face, which now showed a smug look.
"...fertilized!~~"
Alex facepald and had serious trouble understanding how to react in such a situation.
When having no idea how to react, he decided to just go with the flow.
"You know honey, there's so many fruits behind you in the fruit section," Alex said in a calm tone.
"Hmm?" lissa turned around to see what her husband was referring to and saw rows of fruits beside the at aisle.
"Yeah, so many fruits, but I still prefer to eat your peaches."
"..." lissa realized the trap she fell into and looked back at Alex on the phone.
The two stared at each for a few seconds and then...
"Pfft..."
"Hahahahaha!"
Both laughed heartily.
"By the way, are you done getting the groceries? The grill is set up and we can start cooking," said Alex.
"Yes. It's almost done. Nix has gone to get the vegetables, let go see if she's done or not."
While still on call with Alex, lissa went to the veggies section and found Nix adding broccoli into the shopping cart.
"Hey Nix, you're Italian right?" lissa suddenly asked out of nowhere.
"Kind of..." Nix had no idea why her sister was asking this, but she still answered.
"What do you an kind of? Are you not sure?" lissa asked with a confused face.
"I am half Italian, I an. My Ma is Arican." Nix cleared her throat and clarified.
"Oh." lissa got enlightened. She then asked, "So do you like pasta and spaghetti or are you a cheeseburger girl?"
Nix wrinkled and did a confused gesture with her hands. "What sort of question is that..."
Even Alex facepald when he heard this question. His wife sure liked to cause trouble.
"Honey, stop bothering our guests." He said on the phone. "And get ho quickly, everyone's waiting."
"Oops, my bad," lissa said and chuckled.
The call got disconnected and Alex shook his head with a smile.
His wife's energy was always on a higher level than his and Alex realized he wouldn't be able to keep up if he got himself busy with work and cultivation for most parts.
He had to let loose sotis and this interaction with his wife acted as a gentle reminder for it.
'Even though I need to let loose, I just realized, I have yet to give Samuel a call...'
Samuel should've graduated in January and was probably expecting a call from Alex.
Alex was so busy with college and cultivation that he didn't get any ti to call him and congratulate him.
Well, no he had ti until his wife ca back from the store.
Alex dialed Samuel's number and called him.
In just a few seconds, the call got connected.
"ESE! I thought you'd never call! Bwahahahaha!" Samuel's loud voice rang in Alex's ears.
"Congratulations on your graduation, bud."
"Hahaha! Thanks. I am finally done with college." Samuel laughed it off. "And you, you seem like you'll graduate this year too!"
"Yep, I will. Things happened and now I am the youngest neurosurgeon on the planet."
"Kekeke. If you had gotten such credentials earlier, I wouldn't have any doubts of working with you and get an earful from my mama." Samuel joked about the ti Alex had first proposed a business idea to him.
Alex smiled in response to his comnts. Samuel was a real one and Alex knew that even if he had nothing on him, he would still co in support.
"Anyway, that aside, when are you free? Let's et." Alex proposed.
"I just graduated and wanna relax for a few days, amigo. Would it be fine if we et on Sunday, next week?"
It was the 8th of February today, a Saturday. Samuel wanted to have a week off and knew that if he talked to Alex, it would be so serious business.
Alex understood it and didn't mind. "No worries. Let's et on Sunday then. I'll drop a ssage about the ti and place a day before."
"Sweet! Have a good day babyyyy!" Samuel said and cut the call.
'This guy's hyper too. I wonder if I'll be able to keep up with so many energetic people around ,' thought Alex and chuckled.
Ten minutes later, lissa and Nix arrived with the groceries.
"We are back!~" lissa said sweetly and hugged her husband.
Alex patted her back and said, "welco ho."
"I'll go call our parents," Nix said and left.
When she was gone, lissa got close to Alex and said, "There's so much food. I definitely want dessert after a hearty al."
Alex nodded. " too."
lissa put on a wondering expression and said, "hmm... I'd like so pies after this al."
She then got close to Alex and whispered in his ears with a smirk, "creampies to be precise."
