[ Jinwoo POV ]
"My sweetheart!" A woman Who looks like the mature version of Grayfia is now hugging Grayfia tightly while Grayfia trying to calm the woman down
As we got inside by that devil girl we got a lot of stares from all of the people inside which was a little overbearing since I was getting most of the stares
Especially when I am used to living alone and suddenly getting a lot of attention from people, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed By their grazes
Well it seems Grayfia's house and I have to say, this house is exactly of an extremely rich person, no I have to say her house more looks like a billion dollars mansion back in my world
As we went Inside, we entered the main hall which looked like the living room the extremely beautiful woman came into my sight which is exactly like Grayfia but a more mature version of Grayfia, she seemed to be Grayfia's mother but to be honest she looked more like grayfia elder sister than her mother due to her beautiful appearance
More mature and more beautiful with reddish eyes, now I can see where Grayfia gets her beauty from, it's in her genetics but still I feel this world's beauty standard is very different from my world
{ AN:- Here is the reference image for you→ }

Because till now I haven't seen any person who I can consider below the average face, everyone here is Good-looking which makes me wonder, if everyone here is like this or if it's just a devil species
Anyways, as Grayfia saw that beautiful lady who seemed to be silent more it looked like she seems to be lost after seeing her mother, more like she didn't know what to say
But the next moment, the lady rushed towards Grayfia and hugged Grayfia tightly with her arms and started to shed tears
Back to present….
"My sweetheart!" Grayfia's mother said this as she tightened her grip on Grayfia while Grayfia seemed to give no mind to her grip, she just warped her arms around and replied with a soft tone "Mom"
I really didn't wanna get involved in their family reunion, so I just stayed on the door, giving them their space as I looked at my side where Aria was standing
And saw that she also had no intention of intervening between them either, she seemed to understand the situation well
After a while….
Grayfia's mother released her daughter from her arms and stared at her with tender graze as she spoke in a soft tone "I can't express how much I miss you, my child"
To her mother's response, grayfia also opened her mouth and replied "Me too" But again she went silent
This scene somehow reminds me of my mother when she woke up from a coma since that was the day I felt I got rewarded for all those hard as well as the darkest days in my life
"I-"
"Shhh~" When Grayfia tried to speak Something, her mother put her finger on her lips, stopping her from speaking
"Let's eat first after all, it must be tiring for you to come back," Her mother said in a gentle tone as she turned her towards us and continued "You both come too let's have a meal with us"
I really wanna say something but I felt it was better to not refuse her since it would be considered as being rude so I could only nod my head while Aria did the same
Her mother seeing me agree to her request, told the maid to ready food while Grayfia's mother told us to follow her to the dining hall as we arrived it
Grayfia sat on the side of her mother while we followed up the order in sitting, but Aria had some problem climbing the chair due to her height, so I gotta help her which she didn't refuse
"Where were you all this time and what happened to your appearance, sweetheart?? I tried to search for you everywhere in the world but I couldn't find any clue about you all this time" Grayfia's mother asked while she looked at Grayfia with a tender face
Facing her question like this, grayfia got silent but she didn't know how to answer her mother, probably because she didn't want to make her mother worried about her
But this is all too weird because her mother talks like Grayfia has gone missing for a long time while Grayfia told her that time should pass slowly or should stop when she is with me
I am guessing her betrayal makes that 'being' not keeping the agreement as promised, so maybe that's the reason her mother talking like this
Grayfia finally looked determined as she opened her mouth and started to speak "When I defeated the rebe...."
Grayfia started to tell her story which seemed very different from what actual truth she told me, maybe because she didn't want her mother to worry about it
She told her mother that 'being' contacted her in order to defeat that 'ice guy' and take that 'thing' from him and in return, she would get power to end this war
But she didn't tell her actual thing about winning my love nor about the time freezes thing, which is weird but understandable since no mother will be happy to know that her child offends such a 'being' that seems to be powerful enough to freeze time
Right after that, her mother's eyes started to tear up as she quickly rushed forward and hugged Grayfia again, while she started to say "Sorry child because of us you need to suffer all this alone…" She continued to apologise while sobbing
grayfia tries to calm her down as she starts to pat her head slowly while she tries to tell her "It's okay"
After calming her down, she wiped out her tears as she spoke while looking towards me "I apologise for such unsightly behaviour"
I shook my head her apologise since her apology was not necessary since I could understand her behaviour after all a child is most important to a mother
"Anyway, who is this handsome man~," She asked this in some teasing tone as she turned towards Grayfia while looking like an entirely new person, no…. It should be accurate to say that this is maybe her true character all this time
