Chapter 129 - I Will Accept A Beggar Too!

Ch-128 

Esther came out wearing loungewear. She went down and had her dinner as fast as she could. After finishing dinner she went back to her room and did some daily routine skincare. 

"Mom, Give Reggie to me. Sorry to trouble you," Esther said. 

Lia handed Reggie to Esther. "My Child, even though you are hurt by the previous relationship. It doesn't mean another relationship would hurt. The best gift one can give to themselves was giving themselves another chance. Give yourself another chance and try to date and get married." Lia said. 

"Mom~~," Esther said, showing she doesn't want to speak about it anymore. 

"I know… But consider this idea. You can think of this after your flagship launch. I don't mind whom you date or marry. But I want you to be happy. If needed…. I will accept  beggars too!" Lia said, making a disgusted face when she said the last line. 

"Mom!" Esther called Lia in disbelief. 

"Am I that hopeless?"  Esther asked still in disbelief. Twenty-three years passed, but still, she couldn't understand her mom. She loves her and hates her. But whenever she was sad, Lia would come to her readily to give her an embrace. The words between them were fewer, but still, she feels like her mother can understand her with a single glance. 

"Yes!" Lia spat out mercilessly. 

"Mom! You should trust your daughter once in a while!" Esther said with a displeased expression. 

"Really?" Lia said. 

"Yes," she replied. 

"Then…. Did Cyrus propose to you?" Lia asked. 

"Mom! How could you think like that?" Esther asked, not believing her ears. 

Damn! 

She still got it without saying a single word. 

"Well, Your swollen lips, the hickeys on your lips, and you didn't even clean your stained lips. Anyone with a brain can understand what you did," Lia said. 

Dammit! Her mother's eyes are still sharp! Nothing could go unnoticed from her! 

"Mom! What made you think they are hickeys? They are mosquito bites! My lips are swollen because I bit them a lot. And why do you think my swollen lips, hickeys, and my smudged lips are the results of Cyrus's doing?" Esther said as she looked down. Her ears twitched when she lied blatantly to her mother. 

But little did Esther not know was…. She couldn't outsmart her mother. Her mother may not be proficient in business and other things. But she was good at dealing with her children and family. If she believes her daughter now, she was not even a good mother. 

"Your lie has no legs in front of me! The day that guy came he said everything to me and asked for my support." Lia said to her daughter. 

"That Bastard! Doesn't he have any work? Always appears in front of me like he has a lot of free time!" Esther scolded him forgetting the presence of her mother. 

"So… he confessed?" Lia asked again. 

Esther nodded, lowering her head. She didn't even notice her mother's deceitful full face. 

"Tell me everything from the start," Lia commanded. 

"Aren't you hungry? It's already so late," Esther said, trying to shoo her away. 

"Nope! Tell me everything now!" Lia asked. Esther sighed and said everything. And of course, she omitted a few things, like kissing him and taking advantage of him in his house. And the kiss in today's theatre. After all, she needs to take care of something called 'face', right? If her mother knew that she was such a lustful person, she would have no face. 

"Hmm… but... you are affected by these things only? Eww…" Lia said out loud with a look that said 'you-disappoint-me'. 

"He confessed in less than ten meets with you? You omitted a few things, didn't you? Come clean! If you don't, I will ask Cyrus right now!"  Lia said. 

"Mom~~" Esther whined asking her to let her go. 

"No mom, nothing, would work. Come clean right now!" Lia demanded. 

Left with no choice Esther could only come clean. She said everything without omitting a single fact. 

"Dammit!  Why do I have such a perverted daughter?"  Lia said it out loud. 

"Mom! I am not!" Esther said. 

"Yeah… yeah… You are not!"  Lia agreed. 

"Hmm….You should go now,"  Esther said. 

"In fact… Cyrus didn't say anything to me. I just guessed it from your odd behaviors and reactions when he was around you," Lia said.

"What!?" Esther said. 

"Yes! I just lied to you confidently," Lia said, shrugging her shoulders. 

"Mom! How could you do that to me? I am your daughter!" Esther said exaggeratedly. 

"You are my daughter. That is why I did it! He is not bad. You can try it with him. He really cares about Reggie and you. You will have a family with him." Lia said. 

"Mom~~~ You are brainwashing me! Let me rest with my son tonight! Why is everyone bent on shipping me with him!" Esther said with her tired face. 

She couldn't get that till. 

How could her mother do it to her? 

How could she?

How could she? 

[Because you are dumb and too obvious!]  and just like that Raudramuki came to taunt her again. 

[Can you shut up?]  Esther said annoyedly. 

[Well… Monday is a full moon day. Be ready….] Raudra Muki said. 

[Okay! I will be waiting then!]  Esther said. 

[Esther…..] Raudra Muki called her out. 

[Hmm….] she responded. 

[Why do you like this kid so much?] Raudra Muki asked.

[I don't know. I just feel like he is my son. Even though I didn't give birth to him. Him… as my son… is something good to me.]  Esther said as she ran her fingers in his hair. 

[ You always run your fingers through his hair. Doesn't he hate it?]  Raudramuki asked after being silent for a few minutes. 

[nope! He loves it! And do you know….. I feel like there is someone or something trapped in his brain. When I soothe his hair, I can see contentment in his face] Esther said with a smile. 

[Then I will take my leave now, Bye.]  Raudra Muki said before she disappeared.
