Chapter 286

Lucky 286

'At first I want to teach her a lesson and turn her into a submissive woman like Esmeralda. I want her to reconcile with Nikki and understand that her daughter is suffering... But I was wrong, Laura is impossible to fix. Her hatred is too strong to disappear.'

Calix was talking to himself with a cold expression.

He strode out of the hotel with nothing but his boxer briefs. People began looking at him but Calix was too occupied. He left the woman crying at the door.

"Hey look at that?"

"Wow, is he a model?"

"I know right."

People were murmuring around him, his body was like a perfect sculpture. But Calix just walked ahead and reached the exit.

Calix learned a few things-- that there are broken people who are impossible to fix.

That's why Calix promised to himself.

"I'll never make any of them sad. I will make them happy for the best that I can."

He did not want to see any of the girls darkened like Laura. Especially Nikki, Calix was afraid that Nikki would be devastated once she learned the truth.

Sometimes Calix was asking himself if he did the right decision. What if he didn't accept Kimberly? What if he pulled the trigger and killed Yuna? What if he let Marianne be abducted by Leon?

What if...

Calix shook his head.

"I can't turn back the time, all I can do is make things right. No matter how much I fuck up, I will do my best to make it right."

Suddenly, he recalled his mother. Her warmth made him feel safe. He missed her, he felt grateful that she was his mother.

--Honk!

A taxi pulled over in front of him, and Calix entered.

"Take me to the National Memorial Cemetery."

His mother lies in the cemetery where soldiers and the soldiers' families could be buried. It was a privilege that only the soldiers and their families could have.

Right at the entrance of the cemetery, he found a store that was selling flowers. He recalled that his mother loved white roses.

He entered the cemetery and saw some people, they were here to visit their loved ones too.

After a few minutes of walking, Calix found his mother's grave. He kneeled and gently put the flowers on her grave.

"Mom, I'm 20 now. I'm sorry if I didn't visit you for five years. You see, a lot of stuff happened and I almost lost the will to live. Fortunately someone saved me and changed my life."

He started talking to the grave, he tried to recall everything that happened to him.

"Calix?"

"And you still remember it?"

"Of course."

"What did she say to you?"

Calix was curious.

"Well, she said that you are stupid and reckless and she was afraid that you would grow like that. So she said that I have to look at you and make sure that will never happen... Now that I think about it, I failed. You are still reckless and stupid."

"Hey!"

"Fufu."

The two started laughing, their fingers intertwining.

"So, what happened? You're not going to keep it secret from me, right?"

She raised her brow, she was quite scary actually.

Calix averted his gaze as she did not know where to start.

"Well, how should I say it, I realized that I'm happy to be alive."

"... We will talk about this later"

Her gaze was piercing him and he immediately nodded.

"O- okay."

"So..."

"Guh!"

She grabbed his hand and squeezed it, but unlike earlier, she put pressure on Calix and he winced.

"Do you mind explaining what happened between you and Athena?"

"I thought so. So you already know."

"Hm, Athena said it to me after I became a Matriarch."

"Oh, let's see. She tried to attack-- Wait a fucking minute? What did you say? You became what?"

"I am now the Matriarch of Tempest Clan."

"... Wow! We are talking about the Tempest Clan here, not the Robinson family?"

He asked just to make sure.

"Yes."

They were having a nice conversation, forgetting the fact that Calix was only wearing boxer shorts in the public...
