Chapter 118

Miguel's pov

My mates brought me home from school, but declined when I invited them in.

When asked the reason, none of them gave tangible reasons why they didn't accept my invitation.

*

"Mom am home," I  announce my presence before heading upstairs.

"Honey are you busy this afternoon?" mom asked from the parlour ( don't ask me what she always do there).

"Is anything the problem?" I change direction, instead of walking up to my room like I intended, I walked into the parlour where Mom is watching the Untamed.

"If you're not busy, you can escort me to the supermarket close to us, I need to get some last minute ingredients for dinner," she says with her face still glued to the television.

" Oh no! " she's gasped " Senior sister is dead? " the woman in front of me started shedding tears.

"Mom what's wrong?" I look at her in concern "who's senior sister?" I made to take the remote so I can switch off the movie, but mom slapped my hands off the remote.

"I don't think you want to know what will happen to you if you switch my movie off, do you?" she raises a brow up at me.

" You were crying, so I thought it will be better to off the movie, and cry in peace. It's not advisable to mourn while watching a movie." who knows who it was that died that made mom a crying mess "how did you hear the news?"

She wouldn't have taken a call when I came in, or have she already done that before I came in?

If that's the case, why is she just starting to cry now?

Her face was perfectly okay when I came in.

"Hear the news? which news?" She looked at me in confusion "  what happened?" this time she switched the tv off.

I blink " you were crying now, and you're asking me what happened?" I give her a quizzical look.

Have my mom mistakenly hit her head somewhere, or is the news of the death so shocking it touched a part of her brain?

"I was crying because Senior sister is dead,"  she wiped the tears from her face " that girl who can't hurt a fly even if she can is Dead," she sobs the more " there will be no one to call our Wei Wuxian Xianxain again."

This time around I was in the verge of hitting my head on anything string enough to break it, from how frustrated I am.

 Why is she calling names I've never heard before?

"What do you mean by your words mother, please make me understand" I  beg.

I want to know what exactly is causing mother to she's tears like a little baby.

She picks up the remote from table, and switched the tv on "there" she points at the screen "Cheng is holding onto the dead body of senior sister."

At her words, it finally dawned on me that mother was crying just because of the death of a character in a movie.

"You're too dramatic,"  I rolled my eyes at the tears still slipping from her eyes.

"I will go get ready for the shopping, hopefully you're through with crying then," I said before walking out of the parlour.

" He will never know a great movie when he sees one," mom mutters.

I can't believe I spent more than five minutes in the parlour thinking someone close to us died, just to find out it was just a movie character that died.

"Mom can be insane most times," I murmur to myself "I can't believe I never solved it before I heard mom's words. I should have put two and two together to understand that mom started crying immediately I walked in."

I dropped my backpack on my bed, and proceeded to take my bath to wash out all the dirt I accumulated at school.

I dressed in one of my back slacks and a tank top, before I proceeded to the Kitchen to take my lunch.

"Darling we will leave in a minute," mom  informed me when she heard me dishing out my food.

"A minute?" I scoffed because I know what a minute to mother is , especially when she's watching one of those bl series ( don't ask me why she loves those, I don't know !).

Like I estimated then, it took more than thirty minutes for mom to finally come out of the parlor, and another Thirty for her to get ready, and that's the totality of an hour.

"I can see you really got ready in a minute,"  I said sarcastically.

" If you know what this took from me, you won't comment more on it," mom says as if getting ready takes a person's entire strength.

"I don't need to know, I can see the stress you passed through on you face," I nod my head.

" Let's go before we're late,"she  takes her keys, and off we go!

 *

Arriving at the supermarket, mom parked the car at the space near a car that suspiciously looks like Donald's car, and when the man at the door saw her park, he walked up to our car.

"Am sorry Ma, but you can't park your car here," he says when mom rolled the glass down.

"And why is that?" Mom asked with a raised brow.

"This space is reserved for the Alp...." his eyes caught mine, and it widened  "am sorry Luna, I didn't know You're the one she's driving." he smiled at mom "you can park your cars anywhere you want,"  he says before leaving.

Does this mean the entire park knows of me? 

I mean I haven't seen this man before, but he seems to know me.

" That's odd,"mom  shakes her head before giving me a look " why did he refer to you as Luna, and why did he allow us park here when he saw you?" mom asked.

How do I tell her am the mates of the Alphas of this park?
