Chapter 153: Assurance
"Of course, my sweet child," Marita responded to Kylian’s question with a soft mumble, showering her beloved son with her sincere affection over the phone call, "I am going to live a long life with my little Kyle. We will go on world tours and will live happily ever after. I will be completely fine very soon, don’t worry about me so much. Okay?"
Even though Marita’s voice sounded very earnest over the call, strangely Kylian could feel a strong intuition as if she was forcing herself to pretend all fine to Kylian on the phone.
But thinking he might be worried over nothing since the turbulent events that happened in his life after joining the Elite Academy had turned him overly suspicious over every little thing.
"How’s your Academy life going there, Kyle? Did you make friends over there? Are you eating properly?" Her warm voice winced him a little since Kylian was momentarily lost in his own thoughts.
But hearing her, a radiant smile curved across his soft lips when he spoke, walking towards the big glass window of the giant dining hall, "I am completely fine here too, Mom. Yes, I am eating properly too...And..."
His words trailed off for a second when Kylian’s gaze fell on Zenith who seemed a little anxious while typing something on his phone. It was rare for him to see such a prominent frown on his relaxed smug face.
So, it made Kylian a little curious, pondering who might he be texting with that fretful face, as well as wondering if everything was alright with him.
"Kyle? Why did you fall silent, honey?"
Retrieving back to their conversation, Kylian exhaled a sigh holding a blushed hue on his cheeks as he scratched the nape of his neck, lowering his voice intentionally so that Zenith wouldn’t overhear them.
"Mom...I am making good friends here. But...there’s someone I want you to meet as well. He might seem a little odd to you initially, and he’s dazzlingly handsome too, but...now that I got to know him better, he’s like a big cute puppy who always asks for attention."
"Really? Haha..." Marita snorted as if she was very keen to meet that person already, before adding further, "I am glad Kyle, you found such a good friend over there. Are you close with him?"
’He’s more than a friend to me...I am still in awe of how this sly jerk dug his way into my heart so cleverly!’
