"Hello there, Young Man!" the old woman greeted Hugo with a wide smile on her face.
Hugo smiled back and went closer. "I didn't know that you live here, Ma'am"
"Just call me, Miss Marie, Hugo."
Nodding his head, "Alright, Miss Marie."
"Mama! I didn't know you were here already." Mrs. Reyes came out of the kitchen with a tray in her hands. It contained a freshly baked pie and some juice for their visitor.
Marie went closer to her daughter and helped her. Even though she was already at old age, she didn't lose her strength. Maybe it was because she had an active lifestyle.
Every morning, she would go to the park and open her ice cream shop. In the afternoon, she would try to walk around. It became a habit for her after her husband passed away 5 years ago.
"You can eat while waiting for my granddaughter, Hugo. I already called her and she would go down any minute." Marie offered the man to sit once again.
Hugo sat on the chair as the two women in his front arranged the things for him. 'It doesn't look like I'm working here.' His eyes wandered around. 'I'm more of a visitor… I wonder if they would treat me like this every single day?'
"We want to sincerely thank you for saving my Mother in the park. She told us what you did." Mrs. Reyes uttered.
With his forehead creased, Hugo stared at them in confusion. 'How did they know that I save the old woman? Don't tell me…'
"I know that you wanted to keep it to yourself. I apologize for realizing it late." The old woman looked at Hugo apologetically. She just realized her ignorance after entering her shop that day.
Hugo dryly swallowed as he stared at the floor. "H-How did you know?" He couldn't look at them, knowing that they already have an idea that he could stop the time.
"I realized it when I got home. The reason why you looked weary when I opened my eyes must be because you ran the distance and saved me."
'THE FUCK?'
A deep sigh of relief came out from Hugo's lips. "Oh," He couldn't help but let out an awkward laugh. He got nervous for nothing. That's when he realized that it would be impossible for others to know what he did. freew ebnovel.com
'That was stupid...'
"Mother was the one who remembered you. When we saw your application, then she immediately told us that it was you who saved her. We couldn't help to express our gratitude." Mrs. Reyes added in before giving Hugo a quick hug one more time.
Hugo sat still as he felt the woman's body against him one more time. 'To be honest, Mrs. Reyes doesn't look like she is 44 already. Her face looks young and her body is maintained well.' He thought as he hugged the woman back.
When Mrs. Reyes let go of his body, Hugo smiled at the woman. 'And her skin feels soft too.' He thought.
"You can eat this food first before you start. I will just check on my daughter." Mrs. Reyes excused herself from everyone. She went up the stairs and directly went to her daughter's room.
Hugo did exactly what he was told. He ate the food on the table, since it does look appealing.
"Just eat, Hugo." The old woman encouraged Hugo up before leaving him alone.
He looked at the clock on his phone. 'It's already 10:53. 7 minutes more.' He wondered when his 'student' would come to meet him. It has been 20 minutes already since he arrived.
Hugo was left alone for minutes. He could feel that Loreen would peek in his direction from time to time. He was curious why the woman wouldn't go near him.
"Lilith, come down already. It's already 2 minutes away from 11." Mrs. Reyes's voice sounded. freeweb(n)ovel
"Yes, Mother." A sweet and soft voice answered. She glanced at the mirror one more time to see how she looks.
"I'm sorry for the delay, Hugo."
Hugo looked at the stairs and shook his head. "That's alright Mrs. Reyes. I'm here as a tutor."
"Lilith! Come here now."
The man waited patiently. He saw a young woman around the same age as him going down the stairs.
"Hello, Hugo!" Lilith waved her hands.
Hugo smiled at the woman. "Hello, Lilith."
He remembered Lilith from his previous life. The woman became his classmate when he was around 2nd year.
Lilith has flirted with him multiple times and, of course, he flirted with the woman back. If his best friend, Abigail, was the prettiest girl in their school, Lilith was considered to be the second one.
In short, he was friends with the top 2 women in their school.
'So this is Lilith's family,' Hugo thought. The woman was so secretive about her family, in the past. He only knew one of her family members, which was her brother.
It was an accident meetup. They were in the boy's bathroom when Lilith's brother saw them making out in the corner. 'Dang, I remember Lilith's soft lips against mine.'
Hugo swallowed dryly. 'Keep yourself calm, Hugo.' The man took a deep breath.
Mrs. Reyes went closer to Hugo. She placed her hands on his shoulder. "I will let you two go alone now. Lilith has a desk in her bedroom. You two can go there already."
"Alright, Mrs. Reyes." Hugo glanced over to Lilith. "Should we go now, Miss Lilith?"
Lilith nodded as she led Hugo on their way to her bedroom. She made him enter first before closing her door and locking it afterward.
"Now, Mr. Hugo. What do you want to do?" She asked in a seductive voice.
