Chapter 169 – Three Bastards Finale: Breaking The Big Boy In The Closet (7)

"I… I just want to say thank you for helping me. You've saved me from an eternal hell. I thought of killing myself after endless torment, but you gave me hope and a solution. Thank you so much, Emmelyn Jones."

I was stunned by Noah's sincerity. I didn't expect him to be so sincere and dramatic about it. 

I knew that I was helping him, but that wasn't without my motive. I wanted to ruin the life of those bastards after what they did to me in the previous life; I simply used Noah as part of the plan because I deemed it necessary and opportunistic. 

Now that he was thanking me sincerely, I got a bit awkward, "Y—You're welcome, Noah. Don't be so dramatic about it. I also have my own reasons."

"I know that you have your reason that I don't know. But I still want to thank you," Noah insisted. 

In the end, I accepted his gratitude and left the car. I still felt weird in my heart because I didn't expect anyone to thank me for such disingenuous activity we did together. 

But oh well, we couldn't force someone's perspective. Noah saw me as his saviour, and I couldn't change his view no matter what I did. 

I stood in front of the door and checked my watch. It was already 08.30, and I was sure that Mom was sitting on the sofa while crossing her arms, checking the clock over and over.

I already got hundreds of texts and calls from her, but I blocked her for a while because of the mission. Now that I had already unblocked her, it seemed that she had given up texting or calling me. 

I took a deep breath to prepare myself and then knocked on the door.

Knock. Knock. Knock. 

"Mom, I'm home," I said, and the door was opened from the inside. 

Mom was standing right at the door, crossing her arms while looking at me with a suspicious gaze, "Emmelyn Jones, don't you see the time right now? It's eight! If you want to leave for something, then you should tell me first, but I doubt that you're actually leaving because of something, this is a very cold night, and you have no reason to be outside."

Ah, of course, I had expected that Mom would start chiding about this. Back in my previous life, my relationship with Mom strained because I often returned home late because I was hiding from bullies in one spot for a long time until it was night. 

"Now go in, take a hot bath, and sit with me on the sofa. You have a lot of explaining to do."

"Yes, Mom."

I went inside and went straight to my room. Of course, I had lots of explaining to do, and I was thinking about a good explanation while taking a hot bath.

Maybe I could tell her that I had extra work to do in my pottery club?

Nah, that wouldn't work. It wasn't natural for a club to have an activity in the middle of cold winter. 

Maybe I could just say that I was meeting with my friends?

Yeah, no, Emmelyn, Mom will start asking which friend do you have and also ask me to invite my friend to the house. 

I kept thinking and found no answer during my bath, so I just braced myself to meet my Mom downstairs. Hopefully, I would find a good reason while I was under pressure. 

**

Mom was sitting on the sofa and was on a call with someone. I was a bit surprised that she looked quite happy, it made me wonder whether she was calling her colleague or… she had a new boyfriend?!

Mom hung up the call once I sat beside her. I thought she would start chiding again, but she kept her smell even after she ended the call.

"You should've told me that you're going out with him. Geez, Emmy, if you want to have a date with him, you could've told me first. As long as you guys didn't do the dirty, then I'm alright with it. You are young, and you should explore more. Just don't go too far and always have safe sex, Em."

What? 

"Mom, what are you talking about?" I asked, full of confusion.

"Your boyfriend called me just now, and he explained that he was taking you to have dinner with him. He also said that he drove you back home, but you told him not to meet me because you're afraid that I'll be mad," Mom said, making me even more confused. "Em, this is your first boyfriend. You don't need to be embarrassed; I will support you as long as he is a good boy."

"And it seems this boy is a good one, like what Grandma told me. He sounds so polite on the phone," Mom added.

My heartbeat skipped for a moment once I realized what happened just now, "Mom, did that boy call you just now?"

"Yeah, he said that he got my number from you and called me to apologize for taking you for dinner," Mom said. "He is such a polite man. Now I understand why your grandma likes him so much."

I couldn't believe what I just heard. With just one phone call, that creepy red rose man suddenly bailed me out from my Mom's wrath? 

And to top it all off, Mom suddenly became so fond of him just with one call?!

Did he have some hypnosis magic skill or what? 

Grandma might be easy to impress, but Mom was still very suspicious of the boys despite being very supportive of my dating. There was definitely no way she would accept a boy's apology just from a call.

"So, where did you guys go? He told me that you are pretty shy about the whole dinner thing," Mom asked. 

"… a restaurant downtown," I replied with a lie. Since Mom preferred the narration that the red rose was man-made, then I should've just played it out as well.

"I'm sorry that I didn't tell you first, Mom. We didn't plan the dinner at all. It was just him suddenly asking me to go because he wanted to treat me to dinner. He said that he got his first pay after working in his dad's small business, so the first thing he wants to do is to treat me with nice food," I added more lies after another. 

I also used the narration from Mason Hall's story. Since Mason took me for a lunch date because he had saved enough money, it was a gentlemanly move, indeed. 

"Ohh, so he wants to use his first salary to treat you? That means he is a good man, Em. Well, he is still a young man now, but he will definitely be a good, responsible man in the future. Don't waste him," Mom advised.

Yeah, Mason Hall was a good young man and would be a great man in the near future. He was also very gentlemanly and caring about me. 

But that was Mason Hall, not red rose man.

Mason Hall wasn't rich, but he worked hard to earn money. While that red rose man seemed to have a lot of money and wasn't a good man, if he was a good man, he wouldn't be able to get a box of high-quality crystal meth so easily, especially since he was probably around my age as well.

I was so glad that Mom finally dropped the case and allowed me to return to my room. I went inside my room and locked the door. The first thing I wanted to do was call the red rose man right now.

I dialled his number, and after one beep, the red rose man picked it up.

—Phone call—

"Good evening, my beloved," the red rose man greeted me first, and I got shiver instantly. No matter how many times I heard his voice, I kept having that shiver.

I had many questions for him, but for now, the first thing to ask was…

"What did you say to my Mom? And how in hell you could get her phone number? I never give it to you."

"Oh, that' easy. I can extract any information, including phone numbers. I am quite influential, you see. I can just take her information from her company. It's not hard when you can easily destroy the CEO's life if he refuses to comply, hehe," the red rose man said as he chuckled. 

My eyes widened instantly, I knew this man was rich, but I didn't expect him to have a lot of influence.

"About my call, don't worry about it, Em. I just don't want you to get scolded after a long day," the red rose man chuckled. "You should be thankful that I help you out. It'd be nice if you thanked me for bailing you out, and I'm not a demanding boyfriend.. All I want is to hear you say thank you, and I love you to me."
