My Stepmom is Too Pretty, and It’s Troubling Me

Chapter: 0

“Camelia…?”

My mother’s gaze was different from usual.

A bit scary, actually.

Does she not like me? I think she’s great.

“What the hell is going on…?”

“It’s okay. There’s nothing wrong between my mother and me.”

“What do you mean by that? Why are you suddenly tying me up…?”

“Hehe… Well, it can’t be helped, right?”

It couldn’t be helped. It wasn’t my fault, it was my mother… Rosalyn’s fault.

Yeah. Honestly, holding back until now has been a bit tough.

Every time I caught a whiff of that rose-like scent beside her, it was so hard. Rosalyn probably has no idea at all.

“It’s all your fault, Mother.”

“Camelia…? Why are you so close…”

Getting even closer to my mother’s face. Really close now.

Our faces were right in front of each other, and I locked eyes with her.

Those eyes seemed slightly scared of me. A bit… longing, but still beautiful.

“I love you, Mother.”

Really… she was so beautiful. I’d seen her black hair since I was a kid, but every time I looked at it, I wanted to touch it.

I had touched my mother’s beautiful hair before, though.

And those unique green eyes looked even prettier compared to my red ones.

Practically, we didn’t even look like mother and daughter. Black hair and green eyes, versus blonde hair and red eyes… but that didn’t really matter now. It wouldn’t have in the past either.

After all, for a long time, Rosalyn was more than just a mother to me.

“What’s…?”

Her scared gaze shifted just a bit to one of disbelief.

And I decided to act on what I had been holding back for 10 years. Seriously… she’s so pretty.

“Chuuup…”

And just like that, I kissed my mother.

My beloved mother.

My Rosalyn.

“Ugh?!”

Really… I can’t express how long I waited for this moment. Probably at least 10 years. No… it might have been even longer.

But what really mattered now… was that I finally got to have Rosalyn.
