Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

1026  Lucy's Mother

After Lucy and Rudy separated, Lucy made an excuse and left. But her goal was to check who Rudy's friends were, with whom he had come to the water park. She wanted to check before her mother arrived to pick her up.

She hurried over to the reserved pool and saw Alice and Janet enjoying the pool. She was surprised, but relieved at the same time.

'So it's them….' she sighed.

When Janet noticed a stranger looking at them, she signaled Alice, and asked, "Excuse me, do you need something?"

Lucy ignored them and left the scene, seemingly not interested in interacting with them.

RING~!

Lucy received a notification, and without even looking at it, she knew it was from her mother to inform her that she had arrived.

She went to the staff office and met with Rina, who was busy doing something on the computer.

"Hey Rina," Lucy greeted her after placing her hand on her shoulder.

"Oh, hey. Where were you?" Rina asked without losing her focus from the computer.

"Uhh… you know, just strolling around."

"I thought you left, but I noticed your bag was still here, so I assumed you must have gone for your loving stroll," she chuckled.

"Well, I am leaving now. Mama is here to pick me up." Lucy grabbed her bag and left the office.

There were two paths to reach the main gate of the water park. One was the common path, which was used by the customers, and the other was the private path, which was only used by the Reina and the high-ranking staff.

The private path also passed by Reina's office, and Lucy chose to leave the water park using the private path because she wanted to see Rudy. She thought Rudy would still be standing outside the office area where she had last met him, but when she reached there, she found him inside Reina's office.

Although the door of Reina's office was closed, it was left slightly open. When Lucy saw Rudy and Reina sitting on the couch side by side— smiling and happily chatting with each other— she puffed her cheeks and left in anger.

"Stupid liar!" She muttered to herself.

As Lucy emerged from the gates, her gaze fell upon the luxurious vehicle waiting for her. The sleek lines of the car exuded an air of opulence, hinting at the refined taste of its owner. Behind the wheel sat Lucy's mother, a vision of timeless beauty and sophistication. Her poised demeanor and impeccable style spoke volumes about her status and elegance. With a welcoming smile, she beckoned Lucy to join her, embodying the epitome of grace and class.

Lucy's mother— Rose West, was as beautiful as Lucy, even more so, she was mature and fit.

Lucy threw her bag into the backseat of the car and sat on the passenger seat beside her mother.

Sensing something was wrong, Rose shot a quick glance at Lucy and asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Rina again?"

"No."

"Then? Something happened at school?" Rose wondered.

"Nothing of that sort. It's a personal problem," Lucy replied in a frustrated tone.

"I see." Rose smiled slightly and focused on her driving. A few seconds later, Rose smiled again and asked, "Are your periods early this month?"

"No!" Lucy shouted. "Come on, mom! I told you it's a personal problem."

"Okay, okay." Rose chuckled. "I get it."

"It sure doesn't seem so."

"I am trying to ease the mood, you know. I am the only one you can share your feelings and problems with."

"That's a lie. I can always share all my secrets with Freya and she will never tell anyone." Lucy hugged Freya and patted her back.

"No, but seriously. What happened? I am curious." Rose asked again, but this time, in a sober tone.

"..."

"Look, it's fine if you don't want to share. I completely understand. I was the same when I was at your age, except… I made big mistakes, which I am regretting even now."

"Don't worry, mom. I am not in a relationship with anyone. I won't get in any trouble at school like you did, nor will I get disowned by my parents like you did."

"Hey, I would never disown you even if you end up committing the same mistake as me. I understand your struggles. As I said, I will always be there for you." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Are you trying to give me your indirect permission to get into a relationship and get pregnant while I am still in high school? Just like you did?" Lucy asked with a judging look on her face.

"Obviously not. Only I know the tough time I went through because of that. And I say I regret my choice, but that has nothing to do with the struggles. I regret choosing Joe as my life partner when I could have had someone better."

After a short pause, Rose added, "At least I would be in a healthy and a happy relationship. And you would have had a family."

Lucy stayed quiet for a while, seemingly gathering her thoughts and courage to ask Rose something to Rose.

"You say that, but if you hadn't chosen dad, I wouldn't be here with you right now, no? I would have never been born," she uttered in a low voice.

"Hmm~" Rose hummed in amusement and muttered, "That's not an issue."

"Huh?" Lucy jerked her head towards Rose. "Are you saying that you don't care if I wasn't born?"

"You still would have been born."

"Uhh… I don't understand. What are you… wait…" Lucy finally realized what Rose was trying to say. Her eyes widened in bewilderment as her facial expression changed from confused to curious and furious.

She didn't say anything, but stared at Rose in disbelief.

"Please stop glaring at me like that."

"You cheated on dad?!" Lucy exclaimed.

"If that's what you want to think, then so be it. I won't try to defend myself since you won't believe my explanation, anyway."

"Tell me! I want to know!"

"Joe became impotent shortly after Paul was born. I had no sex life. It had ended even before I could taste the pleasure of my youth."

"So you were horny and cheated on him?"

"When I was nineteen… or maybe twenty, I was working as a janitor in a nearby town called Hel. I always had early shifts where I had to clean up the school before it started."

'Hel…' Lucy thought to herself. 'I don't like where this is going…'

"On one particular day, I saw a teenage boy in the abandoned area of the school. It was early in the morning and as you know I like thrills. So I was exploring the abandoned area, and I saw that boy jerking off on the stairs.

Obviously, I was baffled. At first, I thought I had encountered a ghost, but why would a ghost jerk off? Well, skipping the details, I talked with him and one thing led to another. And… we ended up having sex."

"...."

"That was the best sex of my life~!"

Lucy was lost in her thoughts. She couldn't help but feel uneasy about a certain thought that she couldn't shake off.

"What was the name of the school and what year was it?" Lucy asked in a low voice.

"Uhmm… it was the general public school and… it was the year 1989. Why do you ask?" Rose glanced at Lucy. "Are you trying to check if I am telling the truth?"
