When Rudy saw Rebecca in the doorway with tears in her eyes, all his anger vanished. Instead, he was relieved and happy that he was back in the human world.

  When Rebecca dashed into his room, he thought she was going to slap him for being missing for three days, but deep down, he hoped that she would hug him instead. However, he was embraced with a kiss on the lips.

  "……!"

  His eyes widened in surprise while ANgelica covered her mouth in shock and watched Rebecca press her lips against Rudy's.

  Rudy tried to push Rebecca away gently and make some distance between them. But Rebecca forced Rudy onto the bed and kissed him again, but this time more passionately and aggressively.

  Rudy lost the will to resist and let Rebecca eat his lips.

  After about a minute, Rebecca stopped and looked at Rudy with a flushed red face.

  Rudy placed this hand on his lips and asked, "What was—"

  "I slipped!" Rebecca interrupted. "I was going to hug you, but I slipped. Don't think too much of it!"

  "But—"

  "Anyway!" Rebecca got up from the bed and said, "I am getting late for work. There is some food left. I will leave the money on the table in case you want to buy something from outside."

  After saying that, Rebecca rushed out of the room at full speed without giving Rudy any chance to speak.

  Rudy's hand was still on his mouth. He could still feel Rebecca's soft lips on his lips and her taste on his tongue.

  He slowly glanced at Angelica, who was sitting beside him, and said, "Don't say anything."

  Angelica shrugged her shoulders and said, "That was obviously a lie. I saw her—"

  "I know. I know. If it was truly an accident, then she wouldn't have pushed me on the bed, pulled my face, and kissed me again. I know. So… don't say… anything…" he uttered while avoiding eye contact with Rudy.

  Angelica shook her head and muttered, "I don't know if it's normal for a mother to kiss her son like that. Maybe it is, or that's what you would say."

  Rudy glared at Angelica from the corner of his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"

  "This is the first time she has shown you this kind of affection. And the same goes for you, of course," she stated with a straight face.

  "What?"

  "Haven't you noticed how she looks at you? She has never looked at you as her son but as a man. Not to mention how she gets jealous when you mention the other girls. And how would you explain why she kissed you just now?" she asked with a judging look on her face.

  "Look, you might be thinking too much. She is my mother. She gave birth to me and raised me. I am the only man in the house currently, and she expects many things from me. I don't know why she just kissed me, but this is not my first life.

  Nothing like this happened in my previous life. Mom was exactly the same as she is in this world. Except…"

  "Except?"

  "Except… I am not the same…"

  Angelica patted Rudy on the back and said, "You should rest for now. You can ask her tomorrow."

  "She won't answer. Didn't you see how she tried to dodge the topic?"

  "Then you have to ask her again and again until she answers you."

  "I am… I am afraid to know. What if it's something I shouldn't know?"

  "You will eventually learn everything. And you can't run from the truth forever. And what exactly do you mean by that, though?" Angelica asked curiously.

  "Like… what if she is not my biological mother…?"

  Angelica shrugged her shoulders and said, "Then you add her to your harem."

  Rudy glared at Angelica without saying anything.

  "What? You are the one who asked me the question, and I replied with the most logical answer."

  SIGH!

  Rudy let out a weary sigh and got up from the bed.

  "Where are you going?"

  "To meet everyone."

  Angelica rushed after Rudy and passed through his body, reaching downstairs sooner than him.

  "Take me with you."

  "Duh! Why are you even asking that?"

  "But… I don't want to go back into your body for the time being…" she muttered under her breath.

  Rudy walked into the living room and noticed that more stuff had arrived from Joe's place, and some of the stuff had already been arranged in the house.

  "Oh… look." Rudy pointed his gaze at the cabinet and said, "Television is here. But I am not sure if it's working or not. I can't see any line attached. Well, who cares. I don't have time for all that."

  Rudy walked into the kitchen and saw the food and money Rebecca was talking about.

  "I don't particularly feel angry, but I haven't eaten mom's cooking in four days."

  He heated up the food using his powers and sat on the chair to eat it. However, he couldn't forget the sensation on his lips when Rebecca kissed him.

  Instead of eating, he licked his lips and gulped down. He was experiencing an unfamiliar feeling in his chest that moved to his liver and stomach. He couldn't describe it as if it was his first time, but if he had to explain it in two words, that would be a guilty pleasure.

  Sure, he had felt that many times before, but it was something similar to it.

  Even though he was shocked and surprised after getting kissed by Rebecca, he never complained, nor did he say he hated it.

  When Rebecca kissed him, it wasn't only their lips that were touching, but their bodies were also rubbing against each other. Rudy had felt Rebecca's body in a way he had never imagined before.

  Rudy looked between his legs and realized he had gotten a boner thinking about the kiss and recalling the feeling of Rebecca's body.

  'What's wrong with me?! Am I seriously lusting after her…?'
