Chapter 380 Tailing Rebecca
Rudy woke up, took a bath (had a few quickies with Angelica), and ate breakfast with Lucy.
"Mom hasn't returned yet?" he asked Lucy.
"You woke up earlier than usual. Her shift shouldn't have ended yet," she responded.
"I went to bed early, so I don't even know when she went to work," he sighed.
"Where were you, though?" Lucy asked while acting normal.
"Uhh… I was with my friend."
"Who, Eric?" she asked.
'Mom must have told her a few things about ,' Rudy uttered inwardly.
"No. Alice. She is my… childhood friend."
"Oh, I know that. Your mother showed the photo album of your childhood pictures."
"Is that so…?"
"Yes! You were so cute when you were a kid!" she said cheerfully.
Rudy squinted his eyes and asked, "Why are you saying it like I am no longer cute?"
"Hmm~" Lucy humd in amusent and said, "You are handso, not cute."
"Oh…! That's right!"
Rudy and Lucy ate breakfast while talking like a normal brother and sister— although it was a rare occurrence for a sister would call her brother handso.
"What about you? Do you have any friends?"
"Of course I do!" she said in a rather loud voice. "I have friends in school."
"Oh, I was talking about childhood friends or, you know, close friends that are like family to you."
"I don't have a childhood friend, since we have been moving a lot from one city to another and never had a chance to… you know…"
"Yeah, I feel you. I only had three childhood friends, and our friendship slowly faded as ti passed…" he muttered with a distant look on his face.
"Hmm? They are still your friends, right?"
"Ah, I was talking about the possibility." Rudy cleared his throat and said, "I said if I had the sa circumstances as you, our friendship would have faded away as ti passed."
"True."
After eating breakfast, Rudy went to his room to grab his phone and returned downstairs.
He looked at the ti and muttered, "Mom should be on her way."
"Rudy? Are you going sowhere today too?" Lucy asked with a little annoyed look on her face.
"Yes. I am young, so I should enjoy myself, right?"
"That's true, but don't you think you should focus more on your studies?" she asked with a judging look on her face.
"Oh, co on. You now sound like mom," he groaned.
'You sound like mom.'— That was sothing everyone in the world was familiar with, and not in a pleasant way.
"Our tests ended not long ago, and we have a sports week coming up soon, which was delayed for so reason. Let live my life a little," he scoffed. "What about you? What do you do all day at ho?"
"I watch television shows," she said with a straight face.
"And then you ask to study," he comnted.
"At least I don't go out and hang out with 'girls'," she quoted 'girls' with her fingers and continued, "Or in my case, boys."
"Anyway, I am leaving. I will be back in an hour or two. Make sure to lock the doors~"
After saying that, he left the house and flew to the sky.
SIGH!
"Seriously…" Rudy shook his head and muttered, "She hasn't changed at all. She was just like this in my past life."
"Angelica, I am going to the convenience store. Do you want to buy sothing?"
"....?"
Rudy waited for a few seconds, but after receiving no response from Angelica, he assud she had fallen asleep.
"She was watching ani all night again. But at least, this ti, the phone had enough battery."
Rudy flew to the convenience store Rebecca worked at, and landed near it. He walked the rest of the way in and searched for her, but she wasn't there.
"She left around 10 minutes ago," the staff said.
"Oh, okay."
'If she left ten minutes ago, she should be ho already. Maybe she stopped on her way to buy sothing? Still, I flew all the way and kept my eyes on the streets. I didn't see her…'
Rudy furrowed his brows and left the store in frustration. He then closed his eyes and used 'Find my prey' to search for Rebecca's location, only to find her walking on a familiar street.
"Eh? Why would she take a long way instead of the short way?" Rudy wondered in confusion. "Actually… I might know. I think she is trying to avoid running into . She thinks that I will go out today too as I did yesterday and she will be able to avoid with ease. But mom, you are mistaken. I am not going to let you off the hook for the emotional pain you have given recently."
Rudy soared into the sky and reached where Rebecca was. He wanted to confront her in the middle of the street, but he stopped himself.
'If she asks , 'How did you know I was here?' I would be speechless. And instead of confronting her, she would confront . Let's follow her ho and then do everything,' he uttered inwardly.
Rudy hadn't realized that he was acting like a professional stalker.
He slowly followed Rebecca from the sky while chatting on the phone with Alice.
"Should I go ho and wait for her? But she can still avoid . I will have to corner her sohow…" Rudy placed his hand on his chin and thought of various ideas, but all of them were extre.
While Rudy was busy answering Alice's question about mathematics for the howork, he glanced at the street and saw Rebecca wasn't there.
"Hmm?"
He glanced to the side and saw her walking to a different street that was opposite to his house.
"She was supposed to take a left, but she turned right. I don't think she would make a mistake, so why is she…?"
Rudy followed her for a while and realized where she was going.
"That way is…"
