Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 69: A Surprise You’ll Enjoy

After that, Mom and I decided to eat breakfast together. I just ignored her deadly glares at me.

"It seems like I don't see dad as much anymore, mom," I told her.

"I don't know where he stays either," she replied coldly, her eyes fixated on me. "Just eat and leave."

I just shrugged and scooped more eggs. This is how she is-someone who can hate and love a person at the same time. She was upset that I talked back to her. I'm sure of that.

Well, it wasn't really talking back. I was just explaining that I know all of Ash's secrets and that I won't die just because they want me to.

That's something she never had. Their past was full of deception and lies, unlike ours. Ash is surprisingly honest, and because of that, I trust him.

I just hope everything he says is true.

"In case you wanted to know, mom, I'm going to school to sort out some requirements," I said to her, even though she didn't ask.

I plan to apply to big conglomerates once I graduate and study for the board exams. I have a bright future ahead. It's exciting because I'm close to achieving what I've worked so hard for over the years. Soon, I'll be able to walk across the stage and receive my diploma, wearing my graduation gown.

With my mom.

And Dad? I'm not planning to bring him to the most important day of my life. He only ever dragged me down. Why would I lift him up?

Of all the things my mom told me last night, there's just one thing I can't fully believe-that Randall was kind. I couldn't imagine him being gentle and protective, even though he was that way when I was younger. But now, he's too aggressive, cold-like a walking source of pain.

"You don't even have to come back," she said harshly before taking her plate. "That's what you're good at anyway."
