Lavanya narrowed her eyes. “Hey! Stop threatening my Brother.”
Eden chuckled. “I was just having fun with him.” He placed his hand on Ray's shoulder. “I know you think that I will always treat you as a bodyguard, but it's not like that anymore. Don't forget that Lavanya has accepted you as her brother, which means we also have a relationship now.”
He hugged Ray. Lavanya smiled, looking at them as they broke the hug. She held Eden's arm and turned to Ray. “You're supposed to give a gift to me as a ritual.”
Ray quickly asked, “Tell me, What do you want?”
“I will tell you when I need something from you. Promise me you'll give that gift to me no matter what I ask for.” She stretched out her hand in his direction, and Ray placed his hand upon her hand. “I promise.”
