Mia Bradford further explained. "It has long been clear to me ?you two were fated to be together, long before you two realized you were in love with each other. I tried many things, teaching you two to be like real siblings but you two always hugged and kissed each other until your puberty. And after that, I saw the growing affection in both of your eyes as you two looked at each other. That's when I realized that my teaching had been all wrong from the beginning. "
Both Bobby and Margaret looked at Mia, listening to her attentively.
"And this guy over there was always trying to follow their footsteps. But slowly he became so aloof and quiet as he grew up. Hmph! Goodness gracious, everything worked out for him too." Mia continued, pointing at Bobby.
Margaret giggled, folded around Mia's arm, and asked briskly, "What about me?"
"You are our proudest daughter. And don't tell the other this, but I like you the most than those nasty boys." Mia responded, chuckling.
Mia suddenly asked, turning all serious again. "I almost forgot. Now, it's your turn. Mr. Bobby, do you like my daughter?"
"Mr. Bobby?..... Aunt, aren't you ?harsh to me? I'm also the child of this house." Bobby felt uncomfortable with her addressing and tone.
"Ah-hah, are you not answering my question?" Mia glared at him.
"Yes, ma'am. I'll answer." Bobby became all serious, seeing the familiar expression of Mia. This expression of her had really creeped him out as this had already been engrained even in his unconsciousness as this expressed her being pissed royally. And he knew exactly what followed afterward which was spanking of his butt. Mia Bradford professed in spanking kids as she had learned while raising her nasty twin sons. So, Bobby also learned many things like never to piss her. So he cleared his throat and said politely, "Ma'am, I really love Margaret. And I can say this proudly that I'll always make her happy."
"Hmph, your confession seems kind of lacking something. But I'll accept it for now. Alright, let's have some breakfast before the tea is still warm." Mia said with a smile.
Then the three began, having their breakfast heartily.
"The toast is quite good with tea. Thanks for the breakfast, Margaret." Bobby said with his mouth full.
Margaret gave him a charming smile in return.
Mia's heart smiled as she watched the two-act all affectionate and as much as she watched them, the innocence of their love was still evident.
"Mom, I almost forget. Why is dad not coming back with you?" Margaret asked suddenly.
"Um, Jeremy can't make it. He is still at the school, dealing with some matters. So, I return home alone." Mia replied, "Girl, don't worry about your dad. If I agree with your relationship then, he will as well."
Margaret looked at Bobby and said again, "Mom, Bobby has finally been able to activate his bloodline. "
"Oh, really. Then, it's really a piece of good news. Your uncle Jeremy will be very proud of you, Bobby." It overjoyed Mia hearing the news.
"But, but, but,...." Margaret hesitated to say further.
"There is nothing to hide from your mother. What is it, girl?" Mia nagged, seeing her hesitate.
"Mom, Bobby's bloodline is kinda not as we expected. He seemed to have activated vampire bloodline instead." Margaret forced out word by word.
"What, vampire!" Mia exclaimed, dropping her teacup over the floor and remaining in a daze. "That is not possible… not possible at all." and she kept muttering.
"Anything wrong, mom?" Margaret asked worriedly while tapping on her back.
Mia quickly flicked her hands away and glared at Bobby. The next moment she calmed herself down and said, "Just forget it. He is my son."
Within that few seconds Mia glared at him, Bobby felt an icy, intense killing intent he had never felt before. His scarps turned all cold, and he sweated profusely all over his body.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Also, a new notification popped up in his mind with a continuous beeping sound.
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
[Host was being targeted by an extremely strong opponent. Suggested to run away from the hostile opponent as fast as possible.]
It was exactly the opposite of Mia's naively and overprotective motherly figure that Bobby had never seen before. He gulped down a mouthful of saliva and looked at Mia dreadfully.
Mia felt an ache in her heart when she saw his expression, so she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, my dear. I don't really mean it."
"Aunt, I understand completely," Bobby replied, amiably smiling at her with sincerity.
Mia relaxed, seeing his attitude. "Actually, I have some bad history with vampires. So, you must not mind my poor manner just now," she explained briefly.
Margaret perceived that the atmosphere within the mess hall was turning awkward. So she spoke again, "Mom, I think someone is putting a hit on Bobby's head. If I was not with him yesterday then, we might have lost him forever."
Mia was all tense and asked with panic-stricken, "What?! Explain, what really happens?"
"You tell her about what happened to you yesterday?" Margaret White glanced at Bobby to explain to her.
On seeing Mia's panicked look, Bobby wondered in his head, "So, Aunt Mia, really cares for me. However, the killing intent I feel right now isn't foolproof at all." With a thought, he activated his Devil's Eyes skill and his eyes glinted golden for an instance and briskly returned to his normal blue eyes. He then scanned over Mia and soon a new notification came out in his mind.
Bobby began to explain how the assassins followed them while they were giving a tour of the city.
In addition, he briefly explained how he fought with them and how Margaret arrived on the scene just in time to save him from the clutches of the dead. Mia heaved a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Bobby checked the status of the Unholy system that appeared in his mind.
