Walking out of the room. Luis walked towards the mansion. The Suarez estate has a lot of properties inside it. The Main mansion, separate villas for guests and friends, residential quarters for servants, separate practice grounds for guards and family members, a vast garden with a variety of flowers, and herbs, and many other facilities. Overall, the entire estate is covered in an area of around 5000 square meters.
Ignoring the mesmerizing scenery around him, Luis' sole focus was on returning to the mansion as nervousness crept up on him, thinking of his mother, who was waiting for him.
He knows that she is angry, and that got him even more nervous.
Being greeted by the maids and the surrounding servants, Luis made his way to the mansion. As soon as he entered, he saw a figure come crashing down on him for a hug.
"LUUIIISSS!!!"
A beautiful woman with sliver blue hair and emerald green eyes, a voluptuous body, and a face that's in no way middle-aged.
Yes, it was Lumine, his mother. Even if she is in her late thirties, her looks are the same as that of a young woman in her early twenties. Even if she didn't look young, human lifespans are long in this world, so she can't be considered middle-aged.
Seeing Lumine crying while hugging him, Luis couldn't help but smile lightly as he also hugged her back.
"I'm back, Mom." He said softly, with his heart full of emotions. It seems with Luis' memories, he had already accepted them as his parents. Though he does feel a little guilty about acting as their son who is, in fact, dead. But there's nothing he can do about it after he became Luis, so he just accepted he is who he is.
Still in his arms, Lumine nodded and calmed down her burst of emotions. Then she looked into his eyes and gave him a death glare.
"I want an explanation." She said coldly while pulling him toward the sofa.
Luis gulped and nodded his head, following her.
"LUIS!"
It didn't take long for another shout to come. It was his father, Ronald Suarez. Jet black hair with a handsome stature and gray eyes like his own. But seeing the dark circles under his eyes, Luis felt bad thinking about how much trouble he must have caused.
"I'm back Dad." He replied with a smile while getting pulled by Lumine.
Looking at his son, who seemed alright, Ronald breathed out a sigh of relief. He had been worried about his son for the past few days. Not being able to contact him or find him after all the searches made him restless. Ronald wanted to scold him for disappearing suddenly but seeing him alright, all his anger faded and Ronald was glad.
But seeing his wife dragging him to the sofa, Ronald felt a little pity for his son for the interrogation that was bound to happen. He also moved toward them. After all, he also wanted to talk with them.
***
Luis sat on the sofa while looking at his mother and father, who sat opposite him, folding their arms. Lumine was squinting her brows, maybe showing her dissatisfaction or anger towards him. Ronald just sat calmly, letting his wife talk first.
"Why did you leave without telling us?" Lumine asked with a frown on her face.
Luis was a little hesitant to speak as he knew very well previous Luis' thoughts and his reasons. Luis was suddenly informed that his parents were going to adopt his cousin, who is currently living with her sick mother, and that matter was acceptable. As he was also close with her. But the other news of his sudden engagement, which was arranged by his family years back, shocked him.
It's not that he had any lover or any girl he was attracted to. It's just that he was a little dissatisfied that he didn't know about this engagement all these years. So he wanted to spend some time alone, and he went to Lurandal City to stay in his apartment to calm his emotions and that was a big mistake. As he was without protection and got assassinated.
Thinking of all this, Luis couldn't help but sigh. What's done is done. He can't blame previous Luis for his choices or mistakes. Even though now it's become a headache for him.
"I wanted to spend some time alone to calm myself," Luis said calmly.
Lumine wasn't satisfied with his answer. She became a little angry and scolded.
"THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU CONTACT US AND TELL US ANYTHING? YOU WERE MISSING FOR THE WHOLE THREE DAYS. AT LEAST YOU COULD HAVE ANSWERED ME BACK. We were worried sick." Lumine was exasperated. At the end of her sentence, tears started coming out of her eyes.
Ronald patted Lumine's back and also said. "Yeah, your Mom is right Luis. Although you wanted to spend some time alone. You should have informed us."
Luis' parents loved him a lot. His sudden disappearance caused them a lot of grief for which he felt guilty. Ronald comforted Lumine for some time and Luis sat silently watching them. Soon, his mother calmed down and started thinking back on his words. "Is it because of the engagement?"
Hearing his wife's words, Ronald also quickly followed up as he said. "If you didn't want that engagement, you could have said so. We can cancel it. We only want the best for you."
Ronald also assumed the same as his wife. His son might have a crush on someone, that's why he didn't want this engagement and left home.
Hearing Ronald's words, Lumine also calmed down and started thinking things calmly.
'Although Luis' fiancee is a pretty good girl. If he likes someone else, that explains why he was against the engagement even before he met her.' Lumine came to this conclusion as she thought of a love drama she used to watch.
"Yeah, Luis, if you have a girlfriend or have someone you like, just tell us we will cancel the engagement right now." Although Lumine was a little sad because she couldn't fulfill her promise to her best friend, she can't go against her child's happiness. She will fully support him.
