Dinner at the Ross mansion

Max ended up following Lucy to her family house. Ross mansion. And as he stepped out of the car, he stared at the front of the mansion like he had stepped into a foreign place.

It wasn't his first time there but he got that feeling.

Maybe it was because he knew Valerie wouldn't be here and that all his eyes would behold were the fake acts of the evil beings occupying this space.

'Utterly disgusting.' he thought and just then, Lucy slipped her hand in his and clung onto his arm.

"It's so nice for you to come over for dinner." She said, smiling gleefully and Max looked down at her with disgust in his eyes, but he quickly erased it and replaced it with a smile.

"Of course. I have to visit your parents from time to time. After all, they're my in-laws." He said, and the ending of his words crashed heavily on Lucy's ear.

Though she felt she had misheard it and brushed it off.
