Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 162 Feeding Rebecca

Chapter 162 Feeding Rebecca

Rebecca kept glancing at Rudy as they ate dinner together.

"What's up with you? You are acting like a gentleman today," Rebecca asked with a grin on her face.

"I just want to show you my grat.i.tude for raising me alone. It must have been hard, and I can't imagine the hardship you went through. You must have sacrificed a lot of your dreams, so I can fulfill mine," Rudy said with a gentle smile on his face.

"..."

Rudy held Rebecca's hands in his hands and continued, "You are the best mom in the world."

Rebecca's heart fluttered after hearing that, and she couldn't stop but stare at Rudy's lips which kissed her in her dream.

She placed her finger on her lips and wondered, 'If I had acted the same as I did in the dream, would he have…'

Rebecca shook her head and threw all the indecent thoughts. She wanted to enjoy dinner with her son with no other intention.

As Rebecca was eating dinner, Rudy moved his hand toward Rebecca to feed her.

"..." Rebecca was reluctant, but she opened her mouth after seeing the innocent look on Rudy's face.

"You have been eating for a while now, but you didn't tell me how the food tastes," Rudy remarked while eating.

"Oh!" Rebecca exclaimed and said, "It's really tasty!"

Rebecca's mind was occupied with lots of thoughts that she forgot to praise Rudy's cooking.

"Where did you learn to cook, though? And did you bring the ingredients and chicken from the market?" she asked curiously.

"Yes. There was a sale going on, so I bought them. And then got the recipe from the internet," Rudy replied as he fed another bite to Rebecca.

However, Rudy was lying.

After moving all the stuff in the living room, Rudy noticed that Rebecca was still in deep sleep, and she wouldn't wake up anytime soon. So he went to the market and bought chicken and the ingredients.

He knew how to cook because he had learned it from Elise.

Besides, his phone was destroyed, and he hadn't bought a new phone yet. He was planning to buy it today after school, but he didn't get time.

"You don't have to worry too much about lunch and dinner, mom," Rudy said calmly. "I can cook just fine, and this dish is proof. So you can take a rest and enjoy your time after a long, exhausting day."

"..."

"And besides, once Joe and Lucy move in, Lucy will take care of the household."

"Why would you say that? She is not coming here to become a maid, you know?"

'Well, she took care of everything in my past life, so… as if I can say that… not until I find the origin of my powers…'

Rudy looked and smiled at Rebecca, who was enjoying the dinner he had with his hands. For some reason, his heartfelt relief, knowing that he could still feel and find happiness in others' happiness.

'I haven't changed…' Rudy began eating dinner, but he didn't like the taste.

Of course, it was tasty as Rebecca had said, but Rudy didn't like the taste of his own cooking. He would rather eat Rebecca's cooking, which was the most delicious for him.

He hadn't eaten the cooking of his harem members yet, but he had eaten the cooking of Elise in his past life. However, Rebecca's cooking still remained his first choice.

As Rudy was lost in his thoughts while enjoying dinner, Rebecca called out to him.

"Rudy," she said in a low voice.

Rudy looked up to see Rebecca was trying to feed him with her hands.

"Say Aah," she said with a flushed face. She was feeling embarra.s.sed, but then she recalled how Rudy fed her without flinching.

'What's wrong with me? Why can't I act normal? I have been managing fine for 18 years! I only need to wait for a few more weeks! But it's all his fault for acting like this. My fragile heart can't take it.'

Rudy opened his mouth and Rebecca fed him.

"..."

For some reason, that bite tasted different to Rudy. He wanted to taste more, but obviously, he couldn't ask Rebecca to feed him again and again. He didn't want to trouble her.

'Where is Angelica? She is usually awake by this time. But I guess she did stay awake for more than usual and even carried me all the way here from Alice's house. She also looked after me for the entire night until I woke up, so I guess she will be waking up late tonight.'

Rudy couldn't help but miss Angelica as he felt alone without her company. She had become an important part of his life; without her, he felt incomplete.

After eating dinner, Rudy turned to Rebecca and said, "Go wash your face and hands if you want to. Then we will leave together."

"Huh? To where?" Rebecca asked with a confused look on her face.

"To the convenience store you work at, of course."

"Why, though?"

"I have something to buy, so I thought I would go with you."

Of course, Rudy was lying. He simply wanted to escort Rebecca to her work as he was worried about her.

"What do you want to buy? I will bring it when I return home," Rebecca asked curiously.

"Do you not want me to come with you?" Rudy asked with a judging look on his face. "Could it be that you are embarra.s.sed to bring your son to your workplace?"

"No. Of course, not!" Rebecca sighed and said, "Fine. Get ready."

"I am already ready."

"Then wait." Rebecca entered the bathroom to wash her face.

Rudy took that chance to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen. He also took care of the broken gla.s.s and cleaned everything.

By the time Rebecca came back after five minutes, there was no trace of anything in the kitchen. It looked as though they never ate dinner.

'He used his powers, didn't he?' Rebecca thought to herself.

She glanced around to look for Rudy, but he wasn't there.

"Rudy?" She called out to him.

"I am here, mom," Rudy replied. He was standing at the front door, waiting for Rebecca.

"Wait. Let me grab my purse and phone from my room." Rebeca rushed to her room and grabbed her purse and phone. But before leaving her room, she glanced around and sighed in relief.

'I guess I just missed the dream and reality.'

Rebecca closed the door, locked the front door, and left with Rudy.

"Let's go."
