Chapter 224
As Carlo led the group to his study, the two girls who were following were getting very nervous . They didn"t know what they were going to be shown . They were very anxious that they might make a bad impression . Not knowing what to do, the two girls timidly followed the Samaritas .
After a short walk, Alex and the rest finally reached Carlo"s study . It has been quite some time since Alex last went inside, since the only one who has the key to the study was Carlo . In the mansion the most secure area was Carlo"s study, even Alex would have some trouble trying to infiltrate the room .
Alex who was behind Carlo started to think about what his Dad was so excited about . What could be behind this door, that he needed to show the four of them . It"s obviously unrelated to any mercenary business, since the two girls with him are unrelated to that world .
Alex didn"t know what to expect as Carlo opened the door . When the door fully opened the first thing all of them noticed was that there was already someone inside the room . It was a cool looking lady wearing a black snap b.u.t.ton front top, black leather jacket, tight black jeans and leather boots . With her cool beauty type look, she looked almost the same as Alex, and she did have the similar stoic look .
"Why did dad want me to see Instructor Michel?" As if he was able to read Alex"s mind, Carlo smiled .
"Rachel, Evangeline, I want you two to meet my wife, Alex and Lilitth"s mother Michel Samarita . " The moment Carlo announced this, not only did the two girls get surprised, even the two siblings were surprised . Luckily for them they were in front of the two girls, so both Evangeline and Rachel didn"t see Lilitth"s surprised reaction .
Alex, on the other hand, couldn"t react and needed to follow the flow of the conversation . Since if he showed them that he didn"t know that Michel was his mother it would be surprising for Evangeline and Rachel . Alex was about to react appropriately but was intercepted by Lilitth .
"Kaa-chan! Kaa-chan! Kaa-chan!" Same as with Carlo Lilitth jumped onto Michel . Still because they were already in close proximity of each other, Lilitth didn"t need to run and simply jumped into Michel"s chest . Michel wasn"t expecting such a warm response but still opened her arms to receive her new daughter .
Lilitth didn"t really care about the complicated things, all she knew was that in the past she was an artificial human with nothing not even freedom, but now she was the daughter of the Samaritas and she now had a loving father, a cool brother, and a pretty mother . She was so happy that she didn"t care that she didn"t really know Michel .
All Lilitth needed was the knowledge that Carlo called her his wife and her mother . That"s all she needed to hear to accept Michel as her mother .
Seeing his little sister quickly accept Michel, Alex couldn"t help but smile . He could ask how this suddenly happened later, but for now he just needs to be happy that his dad and new mom returned home safely .
"Welcome home, mom . " Michel hearing what Alex said almost made her cry, but same as Alex she remained ever stoic and simply nodded her head . Seeing the interaction between mother and son, the two girls were convinced that she was indeed Alex"s mother .
"So this is where he gets it from . Alex is so much like his mom, and Lilitth looks to be as free spirited as their dad . " Rachel couldn"t help but think so .
Evangeline on the other hand was surprised for a different reason . Once she got over the fact that she was meeting Alex"s mother, she looked at Michel and thought that she seemed familiar . After a few seconds of thinking she remembered . Michel Dodger, this person was a famous fas.h.i.+on designer . It was surprising to know that she was actually Alex"s mother .
"How come she uses her maiden name, when being represented? . . . Well it doesn"t really matter . Still, who knew that Alex"s mother was that Michel Dodger . "
Aside from being a merc, Michel same as Carlo had a normal job . She was planning on retiring as well so she needed something to fall back on . She didn"t expect that she would be so talented as a fas.h.i.+on designer .
. . .
After a few more seconds of hugging the super cute, and super excited Lilitth, Michel s.h.i.+fted her attention onto the two girls present . Noticing the piercing gaze from Michel made the two girls stiffen .
"I"m sorry for the late introduction . I"m Michel Samarita the mother of these two . I wonder who you two might be?" Hearing Michel"s question with that stoic face of hers made Rachel and Evangeline unconsciously think that they were talking to Alex .
"I"m Rachel Regius, Alex"s friend and cla.s.smate . I"m also someone from the same club as him . "
"I"m Evangeline Kain also a friend of Alex, as well as his student council president . "
The girls didn"t stutter as they said this, but the speed in how they spoke was like they were trying to end their sentence as quickly as possible . Still Michel understood them and nodded her head in acknowledgement .
"I see, thank you for taking care of my son . Now that we are properly acquainted, you may go home . Alex will escort you . "
The two girls didn"t know what to say, and were about to leave as ordered, but then Alex stopped them .
"I"m sorry mom, but these two are currently living here . " Hearing this Michel looked at Alex in shock . Carlo who knew the conversation would reach this part, couldn"t help but snicker at this situation . Michel who was carrying Lilitth looked at Alex, then at the two girls .
"Are you two having an improper relations.h.i.+p with my son?" Michel asked, in which the two girls responded by having their faces turn red in embarra.s.sment . They couldn"t verbally answer Michel, since they were still shocked by her question . Instead it was Alex who answered for them .
"My relations.h.i.+p with them is nothing like that . The reason they"re staying here is because of-" Alex then started to recount some of the events the events that transpired, during their absence .
