"MOTHER KNOWS BEST", THEY SAY pt2

——— • I did not expect the madam of the Lapises to suddenly barge in and yell, "I APPROVE!" I've heard that she's a strict yet cunning woman. I didn't expect of her to be enthusiastic about marriage.

"M-mother?", Aurum stuttered. She stood up from her chair and approached the woman, her mother who's as tall as her. Long white hair, and red eyes.

"Oh dear. I was supposed to have a talk with uou but then I heard you talking with someone, I got suspicious on who you were talking so I couldn't help myself!" The woman explained as she cares her daughter's face.

Her striking red eyes then turned to me, she smirked. "So you're Jeremy Agriche, my joke seemed to caught you off guard earlier?", She said.

I try not to react, Joke? She was just joking?

"Certainly, Madam." I replied politely. Sje chuckled.

"Don't think it would be easy to get Nerium and I's blessing, boy, you have to work for it. But to be clear, I haven't thought of another young man that would fit my daughter," her smirk widens.

Such a sly woman.

"But you might be an exception, just don't let me down, boy." She reassured. Oh it reassured me greatly, her mother acts like I expected her to be.

Ninguang Lapis, the madam of the Lapis family and the richest woman in the world. A cunning tactician that would make you pull your hair if you played mind games with her.

Impressing her with my intelect would be troublesome, though I'm confident enough to say that I'm smart, I am still learning. Studying can be boring sometimes...

I just smirked back at her, "I am honored to have you witness my efforts, Madam." I bow my head respectfully. She hums in content before kissing her daughter's cheek, "We have the same taste,y daughter. Men with long hair are absolutely gorgeous~", she teased.

"I shall go and rest now. Aurum, darling, don't forget to dress up properly!", And then she went....

"...", so she left, leaving her daughter speechless.

I smirked at Aurum's petrified figure and approached her, I wrap an arm around her shoulder and one around her waist, I pull her closer and kissed her forehead.

"So you like my hair after all? How cute. Then I shall never cut my hair for you, darling." I chuckled at her ear.

Her ears bloomed red, "Jeremy, stop teasing me!", She commanded as she escapes from my arms. She wraps her arms around herself, "Stay here, I'll just go change..."

Realizing that she was just wearing a robe made me blush a bit, but I turned my body around to face the wall. I heard her search through the drawers before going to the bathroom.

"Damn hormones..."

——— • Ninguang hurriedly walked back to her and her husband's room, she opens the door, swiftly slipped inside and locked the door with a click.
