There was a sudden pause that I wasn't able to reply right at that moment when I heard him saying that word.
'Mother'.
I gulped. And the intoxication of the alcohol towards my veins feels like it went gone all of a sudden.
Did Alec just called her...mother?
Was it just a show up for him to get her approval? Or did he just called her to calm my mother down? Whatever the reason, it's giving me weird heartbeats. I feel thirsty all of a sudden.
I coughed a little and waited for her response. But my mother's reply was like mine. It took her few seconds to absorb. See? His words really can push people.
"Okay," she finally approved. "Make sure you'll look after her because sometimes she's way too focused to school work that she forgets to eat."
"Then I'll eat with he so she wouldn't forget," he said.
My heart had melt down at his words.
"That's why I trust you," my mother replied. I was left silent at how they converse.
