In the meantime, Margaret also quickly rushed out of her dressing room, wearing an interview outfit; a black pants paired with a tailored shirt, and added a cardigan, and also a pair of elusive black high-heel black shoes.
Mia glanced up and down, checking her, and began to praise. "You are looking great!"
"Thanks, mom," Margaret replied back honestly.
"You look stunningly beautiful," Bobby said gently. "I'm late. Let's take our leave."
The two youths excused themself from the room after bidding her bye. Then, Mia heard the revving of the vehicle from outside the house and soon the sound died down, which meant they had left the home.
Mia cleaned up the mess hall, picked the broken pieces of the teacup, and also began cleaning the dishes. After everything was done, she washed her hands and dried her hands with a clean towel. She then sat in a nearby chair and finally spoke. "Are you done with your spying? Kids were long gone. So, why are you still sneaking around in your own house? Really ironic of you."
"You always know me well, darling." Jeremy suddenly appeared inside the hall in thin air. "Still, ahh, I can hardly accept the fact that the two are in a relationship. But maybe you are right. The two are really meant to be together."
"Something we can both agree on. But Jeremy, I can only see purity in those two's affections for each other." Mia said, beaming brightly.
"Purity, my ass. I have seen the worst the last night. I actually even have the notion of separating them. Unfortunately, I see something really brazen last night, which changed my mind. The two…." Jeremy began to retell the little game between Bobby and Margaret.
"Hah, they really did that!" Mia exclaimed, but soon she realized a culprit more deserving of getting more scolding than the two young lovers. She glared at him and inquired, "Jeremy, I know you might be feeling frustrated about that. But what really intrigues me is; what the heck are you doing in their room in the first place? Spying on their kids something like that. That really grosses me out to another level."
"Hey, you are mistaken, okay? I'm worried about them too. A hit was put on Bobby's head. So, I'm doing what needs to be done. But who knows that those two will do such things out of nowhere?" Jeremy gave his reason.
"So, are you also with them the whole time when someone tried to kill our son? What is wrong with you? " Mia complained.
"Listen to me. I'll never let that happen, okay?"
"But why are you not helping? He almost died last night." Mia said agreeably.
"I was about to help him. But he managed to kill two out of the three assassins without lifting a finger while feigning dead, fooling his opponents. Also, after seeing his ability, I kinda like to figure out about his recent breakthrough."
His words reminded Mia of something and she asked, "Jeremy, let's cut to the chase already. Do you have any idea why our son is activating the vampire bloodline? I almost lost myself and exposed my killing intent, directing at him. Oh, my poor boy, I might have frightened him. So, did any of those bastards turn my son into the vampire which I hate the most?"
"No, from what I see, his vampire bloodline is extremely pure, at the level of those royal vampires. So, no one turned him into a vampire. Also, as I observed his battle with those assassins, I found out that the vampire blood inside his system got thinner and thinner in quantity. So something is really weird about our boy."
"No, our boy is not the weird one. Speaking of weird, I think you are the weirdest one." Mia scolded him again. "What kind of father sneaked inside their kids' bedroom in the night?"
"I'm sorry, okay. I don't mean it to happen like that at all. But Mia, luckily our boy, also has already activated my Bradford family's bloodline, too. Even though it's very faint, I can still feel it with my blood flowing through my veins." Jeremy said cheerfully.
"Jeremy, I think it's time for us to tell him about what really happened to his actual parents?" Mia suggested softly.
"Yes, I know. But, I think the boy is not ready yet to learn about the sad past of his parents. So, let's wait for some more time." Jeremy replied.
He then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Mia, I know you have sacrificed so much for me for the past 20 years." He then took a deep breath and asked, "Do you want a divorce?"
"Divorce?!" Mia exclaimed, being stupefied by his sudden words. "Wait, wait, wait a minute. Are you spying on me, too?"
"No, I see how you look at that guy when we first arrive in this place. Also, I saw him bringing you back from a party a few days ago." Jeremy replied.
"Are we really doing this right now?"
"Wait, let me finish what I have to say first." Jeremy began to explain calmly, "I have never seen you look at some other man like that before. Truth be told, you like him, right? Actually, I don't blame you at all. Let me confess something today. Even though all these 20 years, you have always remained loyal to me. On the other hand, I'm not. I have my other women. And I still love you, but I have long lost my interest sexually with you long ago."
"What? you have been cheating on me?!" Mia shouted. "Just tell me how many women? "
"You know, with my current work as mid-night vigilante. I met various ladies, and I kinda lost in sexual interest with you? So, more than 30 may be more I lost count of them. But I only have 3 ladies in serious relationships. " Jeremy replied while looking down.
"Stop kidding on me anymore. So, stop lying to me, babe, please stop scaring me. " Mia held his hand and said pleadingly.
"Stop, Mia, I'm telling you the truth. This whole time I have been living in hell, feeling guilty at you for more than 10 years. And when we arrived at this planet a few days ago, I finally saw you looking at some other man like that for the first time. I know I should be angry at you like any husband would do to their wife, but I kinda feel relieved on seeing that. So, I gave you blind eyes these few days. So let's finally end this here. Let's divorce." Jeremy finally opened up his mind, which had been tormenting him for the last ten years with guilt-ridden feelings.
"Then why don't you tell me about this 10 years ago?" Mia asked, with tears falling from her eyes continuously.
"I was about to, as our marriage was not working out for me. It was all my fault. But when I see how caring you are to our four kids and how devoted you are to me? I lost the will to ask you for divorce back then. Sorry, Mia, I think it's time for us to get a divorce," Jeremy asked again.
"Bastard, get out of here. If I ever see you again, I'll kill you myself. Get lost." Mia screamed loudly.
