Blessed by Night

Chapter 20: Reward

Malachi spent several hours taking pictures with everyone and meeting his supposed fans.

The influx of customers was also great for Sei's business and she made more money today than she'd made in the last few years.

She ended up running out of ingredients and ended up having to close shop early.

As a thank you to Malachi she invited him back to her home for some tea and dinner.

Malachi naturally couldn't allow Sei to cook for him again after she'd been doing so all day.

Sei was surprised when, upon arriving at home Malachi immediately asked to borrow her kitchen.

She of course tried to refuse since this was supposed to be a thank you for him after all, but Malachi was firm in his determination to cook for her and Serana.

This brought about the current situation in which Malachi was sitting down to eat dinner with the mother daughter duo.

"Mal… you really made this?.." Serana was staring at the meal in front of her in disbelief.

"Yea does it look okay?" Malachi was visibly sweating.

It was the first time he'd been able to cook with actual ingredients in a long time so he was more than a little nervous.

"I-it looks incredible!" Sei was completely taken aback.

She was only in the shower for about 30 minutes but in that time Malachi had already begun to prepare a full spread.

An elegant pasta dish with handmade noodles, a light but refreshing salad paired with fresh baked bread and red wine.

Serana was literally drooling, earning a kick from her mother under the table.

"Well don't just stare at it, dig in let me know how it tastes." Malachi tried not to show his nervousness but it was tough.

He felt like one of the contestants on a cooking show hosted by an angry Scottish man.

He held his breath as Sei and Serana raised their forks to their mouths and had their first bite.

The silence seemed to last an eternity for Malachi as he waited to hear the girls' reviews.

Suddenly they looked up at him with twinkles in their eyes as they saw him in a completely new light.

"It's incredible!"

"It's shoo good!"

The blessed man finally released a sigh of relief when he heard his rave reviews.

The group ate in utter silence as the girls hungrily devoured the food in front of them.

When they were finished, Serana put on a sneaky expression before she left the room under the guise of doing homework.

Blessed are known to attract multiple partners.

Whether it is their godlike power, beautiful appearances or unique charisma, they attract so much attention that the laws had long since normalized polygamy as long as it is not excessive.

Malachi hadn't even done anything yet but already the entire world had its eyes on him.

Surely he would meet more women and eventually he would realize that there wasn't anything special about her at all.

It was only natural that she be left behind in the end.

The longer she looked at him, the more she wanted to be with him anyway.

There was something about him that made her feel seen and valued, emotions that she hadn't experienced in a very long time.

It was then that she made a decision that she was sure would come back to harm her later.

Even if it will end with her being thrown aside or the subject of ridicule from the world, she wanted to feel this happiness for just a little bit longer.

Atleast until he no longer needed her.

"Then… please take care of me Malachi."

Before he could react, she hugged him and buried her face in his neck.

She didn't want him to see the scarlet blush that was spreading across her face uncontrollably.

Malachi himself was in such disbelief he didn't even return her hug immediately.

He thought for sure he was going to be rejected!

Malachi wrapped his arms around Sei and inhaled her warm scent of honey. "Yea.. of course I will."

The two lingered like that for a while until the click of a cellphone alerted them to the fact that they were not alone.

"Alright mom! Glad to see you're getting out there. You want me to tag you in this Malachi?"

The two trembled in embarrassment from being spied on and they quickly released each other and turned to face the intruder with furious blushes.

"G-get out!"

"Tag me and get out!"

- The next day.

POW!

"Ow fuck!"

Malachi received a hard punch to the nose that sent him falling back onto his butt.

He looked up above him to see a lean muscular woman with short brown hair and olive skin giving him a disdainful look.

"I thought our new recruit would be more promising but is this all you amount to?"
