Chapter 33: Between A mother and A daughter

Our feet stepped, approaching a luxury car in the college parking lot. A chauffeur rushed out of there and opened the car door for us.

"Good afternoon, Ethan," Camila said, sitting in the car with a smile, while I was petrified in shock. Olivia wants me in the same car with her mother to Nighthallow City? To meet Damian? And please don't say they plan to double date. Ahahaha ... This is very funny. Do they think I can split myself like an amoeba?

Olivia's pat on my shoulder restored my mind.

"Ah ... Good afternoon, madam," I said in reply.

"Come in, we can talk along the way," Camila said.

I was just about to refuse her offer since I wasn't interested in getting caught between them. "I'm so ---"

"What are you waiting for? Come on." Olivia pushed me into the car impatiently.

She went inside and closed the car door while the chauffeur immediately returned to the driver's seat and drove our car, leaving Diamond College.

I sat in silence, trapped between Olivia and Camila. Okay, this is really awkward ... And worse, I'm the only one who feels awkward here.

"Ethan, thank you for taking care of my daughter," Camila's voice broke our silence.

"You're welcome, madam."

"I hope you are willing to take care of her for the rest of her life," she continued with a smile.

I froze as I gave her an awkward smile after hearing her words.

"Mom, our relationship hasn't reached there yet," Olivia scowled. Her face turned red again.

"My daughter may look a bit fierce but she is actually very kind. I hope you can understand her temper," said Camila again.

A bit fierce she said? I thought maybe because she was her mother so she could say that. Olivia is really fierce, especially to men. She treated us like a virus that deserves to be exterminated from this world. I still remember when she returned my sweater a month ago, she looked like she wanted to challenge me for a duel, even Larry had thought that I would die that day. That's why I never thought that Camila was her mother since Camila looked so fragile and feminine while Olivia was a tomboy who was feared by all men. But after I accompanied her to look for Camila for two days, I could guessed her fierce attitude towards men because she often saw her father hurt Camila. That experiences created a rebellion within her and labelled all men the same as her father.

"Never mind, mom. I thought it was futile to begin with. Even if I tried to change, my image as a fierce woman could no longer disappear."

I glanced at Olivia and noticed her sad face with a bitter smile on her lips.

"Olivia, you shouldn't say things like that," Camila said, trying to encourage her. But Olivia's expression did not change.

"Do you want to change for yourself or for someone else?" I said suddenly.

"Of course it's for ..." She stole a glance at me.

I understood her gesture and sighed.

"If you want to change, do it for yourself. If you change just to attract someone's attention and that person does not give you the response you were hoping for, you will be disappointed."

Olivia looked down with a sad face as she thought my words were a gentle rejection.

"Then what should I do?"
