"Don't worry, big brother. I'll take care of my brother-in-law real well, hehe."
"Then, I'll be going with the kids," Clarke said. He held Hermes and Artemis, then teleported using Hermes' power, leaving Gaius and Reed alone.
Gaius pushed Reed away and glared at him, "Don't get close to me."
Reed tilted his head, acting clueless. He shrugged, "Why are you mad right now, brother-in-law? Did I say something wrong?"
"Yes, yes you did!" Gaius gritted his teeth out of anger. He truly didn't understand this two-faced monster who could act so responsible and kid in front of Clarke, slandering him when he wasn't around.
"You—Are you even his blood brother? How could you call him a cheater when he's not around?!"
"Whoa—whoa, I never called him a cheater. I'm just saying that it is very possible for him to cheat, given his position and chance. How could I know? Because I'm his blood brother, we share the same blood. Therefore, we also share the same lust to get as women as possible for fun~" Reed chuckled, satisfied with his work.
Gaius shook his head and denied vehemently, "If you're here just to wreak havoc in my marriage, then you should leave. I have enough problems for my own."
"So you'll ignore everything I said about Clarke and give your blind faith for him? Wow, brother-in-law, I don't know that you can be this stupid."
"I'M NOT STUPID!" Gaius yelled out loud. He gritted his teeth out of anger. "If you don't have anything good to say about my husband and my family, then LEAVE!"
Reed was stunned when Gaius finally raised his voice against him. He already knew that Gaius must've doubted Clarke at this point, but why would he still defend that guy? Why would Gaius defend someone he doubted?
"You're so weird, brother-in-law. It's so obvious that Clarke is cheating on you. But you still try to defend him like an idiot. I thought it was just a joke when I called you an idiot, but you are actually dumb as heck."
"I believe in him because he's the father of my children. He has never hurt me, and he's been providing enough money for the family," Gaius insisted. The more he opened his mouth, the more ridiculous he sounded.
He knew that.
But he tried to dispel this doubt and rage in his heart. Deep inside, he also guessed that Clarke must've been cheating on him.
But he was an idiot who wanted to believe, and he still wanted to save his marriage.
Even if that meant he had to be a blind idiot who tried to ignore everything, as long as his marriage was safe.
"Then you don't believe him. You just don't want to ruin your perfect family, right?" Reed smirked evilly. There was an excitement in his heart to ruin this perfect marriage between Clarke and Gaius. It was almost like an instinct.
It was his instinct to be the homewrecker in this perfect family.
Gaius zipped his mouth, refused to answer that accusation. Because Reed was 100% correct. He just didn't want to ruin his little family.
"If you have nothing to say anymore, then you should leave, Mr. Reed Ville," Gaius said. He turned his head to the other side, refused to look at Reed.
"Heh, let's make a bet, shall we?" Reed started thinking of a simple bet that could give him satisfaction in the end.
"A bet?"
"If I can show you the proof that Gaius is truly cheating on you, then you should willingly kiss me on the lips," Reed raised his brow tauntingly. "If I can't, then I'll stop talking about this and let not slide, acting as if nothing ever happened between Clarke and that Gaia secretary."
"Why would you want to kiss my lips?" Gaius squinted suspiciously.
"Hm, perhaps I've grown addicted to it after I kissed you, brother-in-law. It's just a simple kiss. It won't hurt, right?"
…
…
"Now, you don't want to place a simple bet. It is because you know you'll lose? You know that Clarke is cheating. That's why you got scared."
"He'll not cheat on me," Gaius stated confidently. "Deal, I'll take your bet. Show me a video or photo of Clarke cheating, then I'll believe you."
'Right into my trap, such an idiot,' Reed smirked and nodded. "Deal, I'll be waiting for that kiss, brother-in-law."
"You filth," Gaius said, full of disgust.
[Welp, I guess I'm going to kiss him soon, hehe~]
[Pupa: Why are you so sure that you'll lose?]
[Ehh, because I know Clarke is cheating? There is no way he doesn't cheat given the situation.]
[Pupa: Maybe because you're a cheater yourself, that's why you manifest that insecurity to someone else.]
[Ish, don't make me feel bad, Pupa. I know I'm wrong, but I've been a good wife to Clarke, is it not?]
[Pupa:… you gave a blowjob to his little brother.]
[…]
[Pupa: Anyway, I know it's part of the mission. But it still doesn't close the fact that you're cheating on Clarke.]
Reed finally left after he was satisfied with the result of his torment. He knew that Gaius would accept that kind of bet to protect his own blind faith.
He sat inside his car and then started executing the plan he had.
If proof of cheating was what Gaius wanted, then he would get it. It wasn't that difficult after all.
Reed called Mystica, who was still disguised as Gaia.
"H—Hello, Master, is there something I can do?" Gaia asked hesitantly.
"You picked up so quickly, good," Reed smirked. "Well, it's nothing much. But I want you to sleep with Clarke."
"What?!"
"What? Why are you surprised? Aren't you the one who said that you like him? Then, just go and fuck him now. Don't forget to send me a video or picture of you fucking with him, at least making out with him."
"B—But, Master… how am I supposed to do that? Mr. Clarke Gaist is truly a loyal husband. He doesn't even see anyone except the picture of his wife!"
"Tch, you're really useless," Reed complained. "Fine, I'll give you two pills that could affect Clarke's body. One makes him fall into a deep sleep, and the other is to make him so horny. Use that in your own way."
"Y—Yes, Sir, understood," Mystica couldn't defy Reed's order anyway, so the best she could do was to nod and be obedient.
Besides, she liked Clarke, a handsome, mature, and loyal man, definitely her favorite.
"Good, I expect good result," Reed hung up the call and then stared at the wallpaper on his phone, the same picture of him, Gaius, and the kids in that aquarium dome before.
"How could someone be so naive to literally deny the point-blank proof of Clarke cheating? I mean, even if Clarke hasn't, he will cheat sooner or later."
Yet, Reed also felt jealous because of that. He felt jealous because Clarke was blessed with such a good family. While he grew up without a family, his adoptive parents were too busy with their careers to even care about Reed's existence.
"Gaius Gaist, do you know that you're dancing in my hand? I don't like you at all, but I wonder, what does it feel like to have a real family?"
