De Lawrence: Ambition of the Past
Last Story
"Mom just remembers you almost died" Rachel replied casually. Xavier clucked in annoyance.
"I'm serious, Mom!"
"alright. What's?" Rachel fixed her position.
"Tell me about the accident" Xavier said.
Rachel twitched in wonder. "Why ask me. You should have known better."
"I don't remember much anymore."
Yeah, he doesn't remember that part.
"What else don't you remember?" rachel asked curiously. Didn't the doctor say everything was normal? Only brain injuries after accidents. After some time it will be fine.
"It's just that."
Maybe, he hesitated.
"Tell me, Mom!" Xavier.
"Yes! I'm remembering."
"Mom didn't know the details because Mom didn't witness it herself, but a girl told me and she took you to the hospital as well."
Xavier's body stiffened. The girls?
"Did she— she's my lover?" nervousness.
Rachel spontaneously laughed. "Of course not! The girl just happened to be there and helping." Rachel remembered the incident. "You don't even like women" he continued, still laughing.
"Thank God." Xavier breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why indeed?"
"It's nothing" replied Xavier. Rachel nodded.
"But Mom was curious. Since when do you like ice cream?"
"Es cream?" Especially this? Xavier became upset again.
"Yes, there's a bag of plastic ice cream found in your car. Coincidentally your accident near the supermarket. Maybe you're from there and you don't see another car crossing" explains Rachel.
Xavier's heart was racing. The senseless story of the mother made her head throb pain. Why is there ice cream in the car? And since when did he go to the supermarket himself?
Honestly speaking, Xavier had never set foot in such a place because all his needs had been taken care of by the butler.
Possibly ....
Nope, no! Jessie's story has nothing to do with her. What he was afraid of. All just coincidences are similar.
"Mom ..."
"Hmm?"
"Mom remember who helped me?" Just one question.
"certain. Mom couldn't have forgotten."
"Who?" Xavier is preparing to establish himself.
"La—"
Xavier closed his eyes patiently as Rachel's speech was forced to be cut off due to someone's arrival.
"Jessie!" Rachel stood up happily and immediately hugged her daughter-in-law.
"When is Mom here?" ask Jessie, "you too?" Staring at her husband.
"Since. Valerie said you had a meeting, that's why I'm waiting here. It just so happens that the three of us are here. Mom cooked you lunch." Bring Jessie to sit next to him.
Xavier was flabbergasted at his mother's behavior.
"Mom! I've never brought you lunch. And what the fuck is this? Who's your son!" the upset.
"Be quiet. You're an adult, don't be spoiled! If you're hungry, go eat."
"Ck!" Xavier clucked, then saw his wife who was holding back a laugh.
"Laugh it! No need to be arrested" he said.
"You're coming to the moon? Very sensitive." But his hand was preparing a meal for Xavier.
Jessie forgets that she didn't come alone. There was another woman still standing watching the family's harmony. Yes that's how he thought.
"Ekhem!" The three looked in unison.
"Oh God! Laura. I'm sorry." Jessie stood up from her seat approaching Laura.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see you" Rachel said.
"No, I'm okay! Just relax."
"Eat with us" Jessie asked.
"Thanks, Jess. I'll just eat with Valerie." Laura patted Jessie's shoulder gently and left.
Actually Laura was uncomfortable when her gaze met with Xavier. The man looked at him like he wanted to skin him, sharp as if he wanted to dismantle his head.
Jessie followed Laura out, not forgetting to close the door.
"He's scarier than I imagined."
Damnit damnit! Laura shrieks.
Jessie chuckles. "That's the guy you used to like."
"No need to talk about it!" Laura didn't want to remember.
"Whatever, I don't care either, as long as you don't bother." Jessie left just like that leaving Laura who wanted to answer again.
"I'm not that bad!"
