Chapter 58: Fear
"Yone?" Ema burst into tears as she jumped from the bed in the living room and hugged her son tightly, tears streaming out of her eyes like a miniature fountain.
Yone felt even more warmth inside as he also hugged his mouth tightly, his heart wanted to utter a lot of the sufferings he endured all the past seven years, and just wept at his mother’s warm hug.
Alas, Yone knew better than to do that and just sucked all of those emotions in and darted his eyes around the house.
He saw his father, who looked at him with a dangerous gaze, ready to beat him up if he did anything bad to get all that money in such a short amount of time, but he failed to see his brother Shen, and could tell that he was on his way from school.
"Yone, my little baby." His mother took a step back as she held both his cheeks with both hands and looked him in the eyes." Your father showed me what you sent. Now tell mommy where you got all that money, and keep in mind that mommy knows if her little baby is lying or not."
Yone rolled his eyes, and his face blushed. This was one of the main things that pushed him away from visiting the house each time, his mother would always treat him as a baby, no matter his age and height.
In the future, added with that embarrassment, such a feeling only doubled when he became useless and felt that his father John might as well kick him out if he dared to play with his mother’s feelings any longer.
Sighing inwardly, Yone pushed aside those disturbing thoughts and spoke truthfully," You have probably heard about Eclipse Online through the news yesterday or the past few days."
"Yes, we did, what about it?" His father replied on the side, sipping a cup of coffee his wife left once she jumped to hug her son, as if he were innocent.
"Well, that very game seems to be way bigger and better than End World, the one that shook a quarter of the planet once and made me a lot of money in just 12 hours inside of it." Yone didn’t hesitate as he then went through some details, mixing truth with lies.
His mother seemed to be in deep thought as she locked eyes with her son and after a few seconds, she nodded her head and kissed his cheek happily," Okay, it doesn’t seem like you are lying but just hiding a thing, but any grown man have something to hide so I’ll allow it this time."
Ema chuckled as she went back to her sofa and slapped her husband’s hand as he was about to reach for her coffee once again, and glared at him on the side, while Yone stood a bit shocked on the side.
’Truly, mothers know everything,’ He chuckled inwardly and breathed a sigh of relief that only mothers had such powers to know even the details of their son’s train of thought.
