"What did I see about him?"
Even for Lilianne, that was a hard question. She actually just accepted Hugo because she felt like he will be a great help to her mother. And of course, to repay the kindness that he has shown towards their family.
"Yes. Like, what did you think about him at first?" Lilith sighed as she tried to explain what she was saying. "Like your first impression of him."
"Well, I think he's a good guy, and he has a very big–" Lilianne instantly stopped what she was trying to say.
Lilith's forehead creased. "Big?"
"A big heart!" An awkward laugh came out of her lips. When they got to the mall, she instantly parked her car in the parking lot. She immediately went to the second floor, towards her favorite spa.
"I thought we will just buy a few groceries? What are we doing here in the spa?" Lilith's forehead creased as they entered the room. They were greeted by a woman wearing a black dress. On the side of her clothes was a tag with her name written on it.
"Hi there, Francine," Lilianne enthusiastically greeted her. The both of them made a greeting by kissing each other's cheeks.
"What brought you here? Your schedule is next week, if I can remember correctly. " Francine smiled. That's when she noticed that Lilianne wasn't alone. "Oh my! Is this your daughter?" Her eyes twinkled after seeing Lilith.
"Hello," Lilith smiled as the woman mentioned her name.
"Your mother has mentioned you multiple times already! She said that her daughter was as pretty as her. That's why I instantly knew that it was you!"
The three of them laughed at what Francine had said.
"You really are a sweet talker to your customers, huh?" Lilianne teased around.
Francine laughed out loud. "Of course! You are one of our loyal customers." She patted Lilianne's shoulders.
"Oh!" When she remembered something, Francine straightened her back. "I remember something."
"What is it?" Lilianne was curious when she saw a playful smile appearing on Francine's lips.
"A customer told me that she has seen you in a mall with a guy! You were picking up something from a shop." Francine clapped her hands. "She told me as well that she saw that man protecting you from your ex-husband!"
Francine maliciously stared at Lilianne. "You're not telling me that you have found someone already! You should have told that man to come here some other time. I'll give a discount to both of you."
Lilianne hesitantly smiled. She swallowed dryly when she felt as if there was a lump in her throat. She didn't know what to answer. She glanced over to the side and saw Lilith looking at her with curiosity in her eyes.
"Why you haven't said that you meet Dad, Mom?"
It was Lilith's first time hearing about that matter. She was surprised when she heard it. 'Is my mother hiding a lot of things from me already?' she wondered as she looked at her.
Lilianne, to avoid any suspicion, just laughed. "You two! Don't worry and I will introduce him to both of you at the right time." She smiled. She placed her hands behind her back, slightly pinching them.
'I didn't expect that someone would see us there. I thought I was careful enough.' she tilted her head to the side. 'I should be more careful next time. Good thing, they didn't see who I was with.'
She knew for sure that it would be a big problem if ever they saw Hugo with her. Especially with Lilith, who has a liking for him..
"I've met your dad accidentally, sweetie. I didn't expect that he was in there." Lilianne reassured Lilith.
"Did he do anything to you?" Knowing about how her father treated Lilianne, she was worried that her mother might be hurt at that time.
"No worries. Nothing happened, alright?"
"But auntie Francine said that the man you've been with protected you from dad!"
Lilianne shook her head. "There was a little commotion. Just that, don't worry." She smiled as she turned her head to Francine. "We will both have the massage."
Francine nodded. She moved faster when she felt like what she said destroyed the atmosphere.
"I'll get the room ready now," she excused herself.
When the both of them were left alone, Lilith went closer to her mother. "Why do we need to do this, mother?" she wondered.
Lilianne raised her brows. "Look at you! You looked so stressed and you want to go and meet Hugo at that state? You look like a patient more than him." She scoffed. She placed her hand on top of her hair, combing it.
"Your hair feels so dry!" she complained as she felt it. "If you continue to be like this, you will look older than me." She shook her head and disappointedly looked at Lilith.
"No. This can't do. What will Hugo think of you once he saw you?"
Lilith pouted. "You're making me feel like I look old already." she made a face as she looked at the mirror on the side.
"Do I really look that bad?" she unconsciously asked herself as she saw her reflection in the mirror.
Because their exams were near, and she was aiming to go to Lunaria Academia next academic year, she has been working extra hard for the past weeks.
"Yes. So just do what I say and you will be good. Alright?" Lilianne reminded her strictly.
Lilith just nodded, since she knew that her mother was a pro when it comes to beauty. If there was something that her mother was very good at, then that would be how to look younger, despite her age.
It didn't take long before Francine went to them to say that the room was available already. After their massage, they went to a salon so that Lilith could get a haircut. Even Lilianne decided that she should cut her hair shorter.
When she looked at the final outcome, she could not help but smile.
"I looked younger with short hair," Lilianne uttered. "But I still looked mature." Her smile became wider. 'Should I go with a slutty outfit and tease Hugo tomorrow?'
"Let's go and buy some new clothes for you."
Lilith just silently followed her mother, even if her feet were starting to ache already. The hidden cave between her thighs was in pain because her mother just decided earlier that she should shave!
'It's not like something will happen tomorrow.' She thought as they go to a store. She let her mother pick an outfit for her since she was too tired already. She thought that Lilianne would just pick something simple, but when she came back her eyes widened in shock.
"What is that mother?!"
Lilianne chuckled. She looked at the dress that she picked up from the side. It was a sleeveless mini dress. "What is wrong with this?"
"That looks so…"
"Slutty?"
"Yes," Lilith answered directly.
"So what?" Lilianne's brows shut up. "This will show all your features! You're at the right age already. You even flirted with those past tutors of yours and you can't wear an outfit as simple as this.
"Mother!" Lilith exclaimed as she looked at her side to see if someone had heard it.
"Alright, I will keep quiet. But go in the fitting room and try this."
Lilith, without a choice, followed what her mother said. She went to the fitting room on the side and tried on the outfit that Lilianne gave her.
When she saw herself in the mirror, her mouth fell wide open. Her cleavage was about to burst out because of the dress's low neckline. It was just covering half of her thighs. She just noticed right now, but the fabric on the back was a little bit see-through.
That means she can't even wear a bra or else it will show in the back!
"What is my mother trying to do to me?" When she goes out so Lilianne could see how the dress fits her, she could hear multiple compliments from people who were shopping at the side.
"Oh my! That dress perfectly fits o you!" Lilianne excitedly clapped her hand. "I'm sure Hugo will look at you in a different way once he saw that dress." she grinned.
Her plan all along was to make Hugo like Lilith. If her plan failed, then she will stop, but if now, then she would surely push them together.
How fun will it be if both of them would be part of Hugo's harem!
They could share him together as they restlessly spend their night.
Just thinking about it made her excited already.
Looking at the attendant on the side, "We will take two of those that has the same size." She informed as she stood up to go closer to Lilith.
"Why did you buy two, mother?" Lilith's brows furrowed after hearing it.
"We'll have matching outfits! Aren't you excited?"
