Chapter 443 Friends and Goals
"But I can, right?"
"Well…" Rebecca averted her gaze.
Lilim flipped a few pages and began reading the nineteenth chapter.
"...."
After a few seconds, she closed the diary and handed it back to Rebecca, saying, "Here you go."
"..."
"What? Do you want me to tell you what's in it?" Lilim chuckled.
"No!"
SIGH!
Lilim walked out of Rebecca's room and dashed upstairs.
"Hey!" Rebecca chased after her while yelling, "What do you think you are doing?!"
When Rebecca reached upstairs, she found Lilim in Rudy's room.
"So this is his room, huh?" Lilim checked the closet and under the bed as though she was searching for something.
"Get out!" Rebecca dragged Lilim out of Rudy's room and said, "Why are you doing all this?! I was going to sleep after a long shift, but you came here to annoy me! If you have nothing to do, then please leave! You may come back once Rudy remembers everything!"
"Fine, fine~ Sheesh~You are the same as ever. Unfriend and cheeky brat~" Lilim groaned. "I bet you do this to every girl Rudy brings here."
"He doesn't bring any girls. He is pure and innocent."
"...." Lilim stopped breathing for a second because of a shock. "Well, it seems that the diary didn't mention it."
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, by the way. I haven't seen Jessica. Where is she?" Lilim asked while glancing around. "I didn't see her stuff in your room, and there are only two bedrooms in this house. Did she move out or something?"
"She is… dead."
Lilim furrowed her brows and turned to Rebecca with a confused and pale face.
"Wha…t?"
"You heard that right. I know now you want details, but I am truly not in the mood for that. Please," Rebecca muttered in a disdainful tone.
Seeing the dejected look on Rebecca's face, Lilim decided to not pry further into the matter. "Alright."
'She has always been alone? She raised Rudy without anyone's help at such a young age? I can't fathom how she must have felt every day. No wonder she was chosen to play the role of his mother.
I don't think any other girl would have been able to endure so much alone. But rest assured, Rebecca. I read the nineteenth chapter, and if everything turns out as mentioned, you will be the happiest girl in the world.'
Lilim gazed around the house for the last time and headed to the door.
"I lied about my reason for coming here," Lilim muttered.
"Hmm?"
"I was here to meet you. Believe me or not, I have missed you so much in the past twenty years, but I never came to meet you. I was tasked to be Maria's protector, which was the reason for my existence.
However, I did once in a while check up on you from a distance to make sure you were alright— although I stopped that ten years ago as I couldn't resist my urge to meet Rudy. That's probably when Jessica… you know…. I am sorry for not being there when you needed someone.
You might not consider me your friend, but to me, you are the first friend I have made. You are as important to me as Rudy is to me. If I offended you somehow or my visit annoyed you, I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. I didn't mean to—"
"Stop." Rebecca placed her hand on Lilim's lips and glared into her eyes before saying, "Don't say another word."
"..." Rebecca pushed Lilim back and led her to the door.
"Whatever you have to say, you can say it when we meet again. Hopefully, I will say the same thing as you that day. But for now, let me play the role of Rudy's mother for a few more days," Rebbeca said calmly.
"I understand."
Lilim then left the house and drove away.
"...." Rebecca watched Lilim leave and then closed the door. She had to make sure Lilim had truly left.
After locking the door, she went into the kitchen and chugged down a glass of water in a matter of seconds.
"She dropped by all of a sudden. I didn't even recognize her at first, but I am glad nothing changed."
She touched her lips and muttered, "I was sure I messed up a big time when I kissed Rudy that day. Even the other day, we kissed again. I have to keep my distance from him in a way he doesn't feel like I am avoiding him.
I don't want to destroy everything I have done for the past eighteen years. Three more weeks, and I will finally be free. I have kept my feelings and emotions in control for only three weeks.
It's kind of sad that I will have to stop being his mother. I just hope I played the role of a perfect mother for him and gave him a good life."
After that, she went into her room and fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Rudy was showing Alice the footage of Lilim sucking his snake that he had recorded. The class was ongoing, and still, he was doing something like that shamelessly.
"..."
Alice was watching it with attention and making varied expressions on her face.
"Wow. She gulped everything down without choking or showing any sign of… uhh… uncomfortableness? Is that a word?"
Rudy closed the video and put his phone back in his pocket, saying, "You have also gotten better at it."
"But I still can't move that fast and sometimes chokes."
"That's fine. You are a human, and she is a demon. They have different body traits. Not to mention, she is twenty-six, and you are only eighteen yet," he stated in a neutral tone.
"Seventeen," Alice corrected Rudy.
"What?"
"I am still seventeen years old."
"Wait, wait, wait. Your birthday was three months ago, no?"
"No. It's after three weeks. Umm, the same day as your mother's birthday." Alice squinted her eyes and asked with a judging look on her face, "Don't tell me you forgot my birthdate."
"No…" Rudy raised his brows in confusion and muttered, "In my previous life, your birthday was on a different date."
"How is that even possible?"
"I… have no idea. Let's discuss this after the school hours end."
Rudy had discovered yet another anomaly in the strangest way possible.
"But I can, right?"
"Well…" Rebecca averted her gaze.
Lilim flipped a few pages and began reading the nineteenth chapter.
"...."
After a few seconds, she closed the diary and handed it back to Rebecca, saying, "Here you go."
