“…”

“…!”

A few seconds passed, but Rebecca didn’t let go of Rudy.

“Mom…?”

“She has fallen asleep,” Angelica informed.

Rudy gently pushed Rebecca and made some distance between them. Then, he carefully placed her on the bed and her head on the pillow.

“…”

Rudy was still surprised by what just happened. It was too sudden and strange for him.

“I can hear your heartbeats even though I am standing in the doorway,” Angelica commented.

“I don’t know why…” Rudy muttered and let out a deep sigh.

‘I think I know why…’ Angelica uttered inwardly and stared at Rudy for a few seconds before saying, “Maybe because she said ‘I love you’ to you?”

Angelica had finally gathered the courage and confidence to mention anything related to Rebecca.

“Huh? What’s strange about it?” Rudy wondered with a confused look on his face. “Every mother says ‘I love you’ to their child. It’s totally a normal thing.”

‘Or so you think. How long are you going to fool yourself into thinking that? Sooner or later, you will have to realize…’ Angelica uttered inwardly but couldn’t dare to say it out loud.

‘I think some progression will happen once Lucy and Joe move in here. After that, Rudy would have to work hard to get Rebecca’s attention, and he will naturally feel jealous. I can’t wait to see that!’

Angelica was a little too excited for her own good, but it wasn’t as though it was a bad thing. She liked seeing Rudy in trouble and in the struggle.

Rudy grabbed Angelica’s hand and walked out of the room. Then, he used telekinesis to bring his phone to him.

“It’s already time. Let’s go!”

Rudy expected Angelica to leap onto him to go together with him, but she didn’t.

“What’s wrong?” Rudy asked after noticing Angelica was moving from her spot.

“You should go,” she said with a smile on her face.

“Uhh… are you angry or something?” Rudy asked awkwardly.

Angelica shook her head and said, “It’s your date with Alice, and I don’t want to be a third wheel. So go and enjoy your time with Alice.”

“Never have I ever thought that about you. You are like a part of me, so have to be with me.”

“I am tired anyway, so I will be sleeping. So it shouldn’t matter if I sleep inside your body or in your room. And to be honest, I have been longing to sleep on the bed.”

Rudy didn’t want to force Angelica to come with him, and he had no way of knowing that Angelica truly didn’t want to come. He could use his powers to know that, but he didn’t want to use his powers on his loved ones.

That’s why, Rudy asked, “Are you telling the truth?”

Angelica furrowed her brows in annoyance and said, “Do you really think I would want to stay away from you for no reason? No! So just go and enjoy.”

“But how would I know if you want me or something? You can’t phone call me, and telepathy won’t work that far.”

“I will just possess someone and use their body to phone call you. I believe most people use phones now, right?”

“Don’t do that. Possessing is bad. But if there is really an emergency, then you can do that.” Rudy pondered for a while and muttered, “I will have to practice my telepathy and make it usable for more purposes.”

“Such as?” Angelica asked curiously.

“You must have noticed that now not only can I hear people’s thoughts directed towards me, but I can also send them my thoughts without opening my mouth. So there have to be many other ways to evolve this ability,” Rudy wondered in amusement.

“Well, your telekinesis did evolve because you have been using it the most. You have also learned to fly more freely, and your teleportation has become accurate. Your see-through ability has also gone sharper, and now you can easily activate it and deactivate it on will, right?”

Rudy shook his head and said, “Everything you said is true, but I still can’t deactivate or reset my see-through ability on will once it’s activated. But I think I am getting there.”

RING~ RING!

Rudy’s phone rang.

“…”

Rudy knew it was Alice without even looking at the phone because he was five minutes late than the promised time.

“Late on the first date. Wow,” Rudy uttered in a neutral tone.

“Don’t blame me for being late. I have been telling you to go, but you are not listening to me,” Angelica commented.

Rudy rushed to Angelica and hugged her tightly. Then, he kissed her on the lips a couple of times and said, “I will be back before night.”

Angelica moved her face close to Rudy’s ears and whispered, “Are you going to have sex with Alice too?”

“…!”

“I… don’t know. But I am going to tell her everything about me, and the harem. So wish me luck,” Rudy chuckled. “Because Alice is the only girl I am afraid of. There are chances that she might not agree on the harem. So… pray for me.”

After kissing Angelica for a few more seconds, Rudy teleported near Alice’s house.

BARK~ BARK!

“…!”

GROWL!

However, there was a stray dog near Alice’s house that started barking and growling at Rudy. It was natural since the dog saw Rudy appear out of nowhere.

Rudy looked into the dog’s eyes and uttered, “Calm down.”

The dog immediately stopped growling and casually walked away.

“I may have used my powers, but I only asked it to calm down.”

Rudy has been scared of the dogs since his past life because he was bitten by a dog, not once, not twice, but five times a week.

He was afraid of the dogs so much that whenever he saw one on the street, he changed his way and took another route.

“Although, I don’t think anything would happen to me if a dog tried to bite me now,” Rudy scoffed.

RING~RING!

“Right!”

Rudy rushed through the gate and found her standing outside her house.
