"Was he lying?" I asked myself and sat back on the chair. "What is it? You aren't saying anything neither are you getting up?" I said to him angrily. What annoyed me the most is that he was looking more upset then I was.
"Are you always going to be like this towards her? Can't you see what she's doing to you? No matter how hard you try to be a good daughter to her she doesn't want to acknowledge you as her daughter." Darrel said to me angrily. I finally understood what was making him upset, he sounded like he was ready to slap me if I take an inch out of the restaurant.
"But didn't you say she fell? How are we supposed to keep sitting here knowing fully well that she's not okay?" I asked Darrel curiously.
Darrel facial expression could say it all already, I decided not to push it too much and just stop talking about mom so that he doesn't say something I might not like to hear.
"It's fine if you respect her and love her like a daughter would love her mother but can't you see she don't feel the same way towards you. She dislikes you with evruthing in her, why don't you try to live for you and our baby, do you and stop caring about how she will feel." After listening to Darrel I was quiet, I couldn't say a word because he was somewhat right.
"I really don't know what I have don't to her and why she hates me so much. I used to think it was because of mom but at this point I don't know anymore." I explained to Darrel and heaved a sigh.
"Hey, you don't have to do too much just for her to acknowledge you, the ones you have done is enough already, i for one know how much you have tried to be a good daughter to her but from the look of things nothing is going to change even if you die for her." I know that what Darrel was saying was making sense but I was still hopeful that someday things will change and she will get to know that I see her as my mother.
"I understand what you're saying, I'll try and stop caring." I replied to him with a smile on my face and sipped the juice in the glass.
"But did she really fall or you were pulling my legs to see my reaction?" I asked curiously.
"I was pulling your legs." He replied almost immediately. I was finding it hard to believe him because I remember the facial expression on his face when he picked that call, something definitely happened. I didn't plan on asking him any question I would rather just tell him we should head back home because I'm tired.
"I have somewhere else I would like to take you to." He said to me almost immediately like he knew I was planning to stop the date here.

It was a peasant date that I was supposed to enlist without having to worry myself about anyone but here I was bothered about what Luna Becky would think when we get back home, I don't know why it's so hard for me to stop worrying myself about her and just focus on my relationship with Darrel.
We stepped out of the restaurant and we were headed to the next place he had planned. It was more like we were spending time together for the times we were not in good terms.
I couldn't stop stealing glances at him and hoping that this moment never fades.
We were very happy about the little moment we got to spend with each other.
When we arrived at the place I opened my eyes wider than normal. It was a jet ski. It's something I have always wanted to try and here is an opportunity standing in front of me.
Oh my goodness." I covered my mouth with my hand excitedly as we got out of the car and headed towards the jet in front of us. Darrel was obviously happy to see me happy about his little surprise.
"I'm happy you love it." He said to me with a bright smile on his face and we got it. It's the moment I have always dreamed of. I closed my eyes and enjoyed every bit of it, it was so good that I forgot about Luna Becky and her troubles, for the first time in a while.
After that we headed back into the car and Darrel proposed that we take a little walk around, it felt like he read my little diary because we were doing everything that I wrote in it.
"Did you by any chance come across my little dusty?" I asked him curiously so that I can know if he read it.
"Is it missing?" He asked. From the way he asked the question I didn't bother pressing because he obviously didn't know where the diary was.
The fresh air while we were taking a walk was so refreshing, the sunlight was slowly fading and night was drawing near while we were walking, I wish I could live like this everyday, happily with nothing to worry about. The thought of getting closer to home slowly clouded my mind as tears welled down my eyes.
I wiped it off immediately so that Darrel doesn't notice that I was crying.
"It's fine, that's why we are taking a walk, let it out." He said to me like he was my therapist. Before he could complete the statement the tears was already uncontrollable.
I had a flashback of everything that I have been going through in the house and suddenly realized maybe I'm not built to he genuinely happy, because why do I have to face so much obstacles? Why do I have to suffer every time, there's been no moment In my life where I have been genuinely happy with nothing to worry about.
Even when I was living as the Alpha's adopted daughter I still had to remind myself everyday that I don't belong there because I am not his daughter.
Thinking about all this moment made me feel sad and I was crying while we were walking on the Barrie lonely road.
After a while I was feeling better, maybe crying was really the solution. We got back into the car and headed back to the mansion. It was already very dark and I was feeling sleepy. After crying for too long I was already feeling sleepy, while struggling not to sleep I was opening my eyes wider than normal until I lost to the string force of sleep.
I rested my head on his shoulders and fell asleep.
After a short drive we finally arrived at the house. I opened my eyes and noticed we were back to the house, I closed them immediately pretending to still be asleep because there's no way I'm going into the house with my eyes opened.
Darrel didn't want to wake me instead he carried me into the house. When we got to the sitting room I opened my eyes a little and saw Luna Becky in the sitting room.
"Where are you coming from?" She asked the moment we got in. Darrel stopped on his tracks when he heard the question she asked, I just knew he was going to say something she wouldn't like to hear.
"Why do you think you have to know that?" Darrel asked his mother, I wasn't happy with the response because all his actions makes her hate me even more, this reply he gave her would only make her hatred for me worsen and she would think he's behaving this way because of me.
"My goodness." I said in my mind and closed my eyes tighter.
"Darrel, what has come over you? Why are you sounding like I don't have the right to ask you questions anymore." Luna Becky said angrily. I was thinking if it's better to wake up or not because the misunderstanding was getting worse than I expected.
"Mom, I have told you several times, I am no longer a child so why don't you just stop! Stop pretending like you care, stop pretending to be such a great mom!" Darrel yelled at the top of his voice. I was confused as to why he was talking like that to his mom. Why would he say such a thing to her?
"How dare you?" She clenched her teeth angrily abs asked. Without saying anything Darrel walked away and headed to the room. The moment we got to the room, he laid lone on the bed and made sure I was comfortable before he walked into the bathroom.
The moment he walked away I opened my eyes. There has to be something he knows that I don't, then I suddenly remembered what he told me in the restaurant. Does it mean it's because of that he was sounding like that?
I was trying to wrap my head around the reason why Darrel character towards his mom changed a lot. He used to be very sweet towards her, but here he is now acting like there's something he just found out that we didn't know about.
I could hear him hitting his hand on the wall but there's nothing I can do because I was pretending to be asleep.
