Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 443 Friends and Goals

Chapter 443 Friends and Goals

"But I can, right?"

"Well…" Rebecca averted her gaze.

Lilim flipped a few pages and began reading the nineteenth chapter.

"...."

After a few seconds, she closed the diary and handed it back to Rebecca, saying, "Here you go."

"..."

"What? Do you want to tell you what's in it?" Lilim chuckled.

"No!"

SIGH!

Lilim walked out of Rebecca's room and dashed upstairs.

"Hey!" Rebecca chased after her while yelling, "What do you think you are doing?!"

When Rebecca reached upstairs, she found Lilim in Rudy's room.

"So this is his room, huh?" Lilim checked the closet and under the bed as though she was searching for sothing.

"Get out!" Rebecca dragged Lilim out of Rudy's room and said, "Why are you doing all this?! I was going to sleep after a long shift, but you ca here to annoy ! If you have nothing to do, then please leave! You may co back once Rudy rembers everything!"

"Fine, fine~ Sheesh~You are the sa as ever. Unfriend and cheeky brat~" Lilim groaned. "I bet you do this to every girl Rudy brings here."

"He doesn't bring any girls. He is pure and innocent."

"...." Lilim stopped breathing for a second because of a shock. "Well, it seems that the diary didn't ntion it."

"What do you an?"

"Oh, by the way. I haven't seen Jessica. Where is she?" Lilim asked while glancing around. "I didn't see her stuff in your room, and there are only two bedrooms in this house. Did she move out or sothing?"

"She is… dead."

Lilim furrowed her brows and turned to Rebecca with a confused and pale face.

"Wha…t?"

"You heard that right. I know now you want details, but I am truly not in the mood for that. Please," Rebecca muttered in a disdainful tone.

Seeing the dejected look on Rebecca's face, Lilim decided to not pry further into the matter. "Alright."

'She has always been alone? She raised Rudy without anyone's help at such a young age? I can't fathom how she must have felt every day. No wonder she was chosen to play the role of his mother.

I don't think any other girl would have been able to endure so much alone. But rest assured, Rebecca. I read the nineteenth chapter, and if everything turns out as ntioned, you will be the happiest girl in the world.'

Lilim gazed around the house for the last ti and headed to the door.

"I lied about my reason for coming here," Lilim muttered.

"Hmm?"

"I was here to et you. Believe or not, I have missed you so much in the past twenty years, but I never ca to et you. I was tasked to be Maria's protector, which was the reason for my existence.

However, I did once in a while check up on you from a distance to make sure you were alright— although I stopped that ten years ago as I couldn't resist my urge to et Rudy. That's probably when Jessica… you know…. I am sorry for not being there when you needed soone.

You might not consider your friend, but to , you are the first friend I have made. You are as important to as Rudy is to . If I offended you sohow or my visit annoyed you, I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. I didn't an to—"

"Stop." Rebecca placed her hand on Lilim's lips and glared into her eyes before saying, "Don't say another word."

"..." Rebecca pushed Lilim back and led her to the door.

"Whatever you have to say, you can say it when we et again. Hopefully, I will say the sa thing as you that day. But for now, let play the role of Rudy's mother for a few more days," Rebbeca said calmly.

"I understand."

Lilim then left the house and drove away.

"...." Rebecca watched Lilim leave and then closed the door. She had to make sure Lilim had truly left.

After locking the door, she went into the kitchen and chugged down a glass of water in a matter of seconds.

"She dropped by all of a sudden. I didn't even recognize her at first, but I am glad nothing changed."

She touched her lips and muttered, "I was sure I ssed up a big ti when I kissed Rudy that day. Even the other day, we kissed again. I have to keep my distance from him in a way he doesn't feel like I am avoiding him.

I don't want to destroy everything I have done for the past eighteen years. Three more weeks, and I will finally be free. I have kept my feelings and emotions in control for only three weeks.

It's kind of sad that I will have to stop being his mother. I just hope I played the role of a perfect mother for him and gave him a good life."

After that, she went into her room and fell asleep.

anwhile, Rudy was showing Alice the footage of Lilim sucking his snake that he had recorded. The class was ongoing, and still, he was doing sothing like that shalessly.

"..."

Alice was watching it with attention and making varied expressions on her face.

"Wow. She gulped everything down without choking or showing any sign of… uhh… uncomfortableness? Is that a word?"

Rudy closed the video and put his phone back in his pocket, saying, "You have also gotten better at it."

"But I still can't move that fast and sotis chokes."

"That's fine. You are a human, and she is a demon. They have different body traits. Not to ntion, she is twenty-six, and you are only eighteen yet," he stated in a neutral tone.

"Seventeen," Alice corrected Rudy.

"What?"

"I am still seventeen years old."

"Wait, wait, wait. Your birthday was three months ago, no?"

"No. It's after three weeks. Umm, the sa day as your mother's birthday." Alice squinted her eyes and asked with a judging look on her face, "Don't tell you forgot my birthdate."

"No…" Rudy raised his brows in confusion and muttered, "In my previous life, your birthday was on a different date."

"How is that even possible?"

"I… have no idea. Let's discuss this after the school hours end."

Rudy had discovered yet another anomaly in the strangest way possible.
