My Wives Are Too Overpowered

39 How Melissa Likes Her Eggs

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, Melissa 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."

Melissa 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, Mel sis, it's still very fishy and suspicious."

"What is?" Melissa 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."

Melissa 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."

Melissa 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." Melissa 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 some charcoal.

It took him a minute to light some 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 some 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?" Melissa asked.

"In the backyard, finished setting up the grill," answered Alex calmly.

"Oh. Good, good. I am having some trouble here. Look..." Melissa pointed the camera on the meat section in the store.

Over the video, she continued, "there's so much meat here..."

The camera view then changed and Melissa's silver-haired face came 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.

Melissa then pointed the camera 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 camera pointed back to Melissa's face, which now showed a smug look.

"...fertilized!~~"

Alex facepalmed 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?" Melissa turned around to see what her husband was referring to and saw rows of fruits beside the meat aisle.

"Yeah, so many fruits, but I still prefer to eat your peaches."

"..." Melissa 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 me go see if she's done or not."

While still on call with Alex, Melissa went to the veggies section and found Nix adding broccoli into the shopping cart.

"Hey Nix, you're Italian right?" Melissa suddenly asked out of nowhere.

"Kind of..." Nix had no idea why her sister was asking this, but she still answered.

"What do you mean kind of? Are you not sure?" Melissa asked with a confused face.

"I am half Italian, I mean. My Ma is American." Nix cleared her throat and clarified.

"Oh." Melissa 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 facepalmed when he heard this question. His wife sure liked to cause trouble.

"Honey, stop bothering our guests." He said on the phone. "And get home quickly, everyone's waiting."

"Oops, my bad," Melissa 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 sometimes 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 time to call him and congratulate him.

Well, no he had time until his wife came 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 time Alex had first proposed a business idea to him.

Alex smiled in response to his comments. Samuel was a real one and Alex knew that even if he had nothing on him, he would still come in support.

"Anyway, that aside, when are you free? Let's meet." Alex proposed.

"I just graduated and wanna relax for a few days, amigo. Would it be fine if we meet 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 some serious business.

Alex understood it and didn't mind. "No worries. Let's meet on Sunday then. I'll drop a message about the time 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 me,' thought Alex and chuckled.

Ten minutes later, Melissa and Nix arrived with the groceries.

"We are back!~" Melissa said sweetly and hugged her husband.

Alex patted her back and said, "welcome home."

"I'll go call our parents," Nix said and left.

When she was gone, Melissa got close to Alex and said, "There's so much food. I definitely want dessert after a hearty meal."

Alex nodded. "Me too."

Melissa put on a wondering expression and said, "hmm... I'd like some pies after this meal."

She then got close to Alex and whispered in his ears with a smirk, "creampies to be precise."
