Chapter 252 What Should I Believe In? - BONUS CHAPTER
Lucifer paused for a brief moment, allowing his words to sink in, and when Vivian was about to respond to him, he continued, not giving her any room to speak. "What is so wrong about having multiple relationships at the same time if everyone involved is happy about it?"
"You see, everything is the preconceived notion of what the ideal relationship should be that stops people from thinking in different ways. Some label it immoral or sinful. In fact, you yourself have just called me a cheater for not giving your daughter the 'happy relationship' she deserves... as if I haven't given her a place in my heart."
"In that case, should we do things based on what others deem right or wrong? If others say it is bad, then should we all follow their morals, discarding our own feelings and thoughts?"
"But- That's-..."
Vivian seemed to have lost her train of thought as she opened and closed her mouth, trying to find her words, but she simply couldn't think of anything else to add to the conversation.
On one hand, she believed that this was not how things were supposed to be and that he was trying to mess up her daughter's life.
However, on the other hand, his argument was reasonable, and Vivian couldn't dismiss it outright without considering all sides of the problem. At least, that's what her conscience was telling her.
'I am feeling so confused... Everything that I thought was correct and pure has been turned upside down. What should I believe in? Should I let my daughter get involved with someone like him, even if she knows he has other women beside her and will continue to have more? Or should I take her away from him?' Vivian thought as she rubbed her forehead in a troubled manner. 'Ugh, this is so messed up... How can other girls and women like this boy without a problem? Why are they not bothered about sharing him with each other?'
Just as her thoughts were getting the best of her, he stood up and started walking toward her, catching her attention. Vivian looked up at him with confusion written all over her face, not knowing what was going on or where this was leading to.
But without missing a beat, he reached out his hand and grabbed her wrist, pulling her up. Then, leaning closer to her, his eyes peered deep into hers; his handsome face was but inches away from hers.
"Despite what others say, Aunt Vivian, you should know better than following what society says or even what I told you. There are many paths to choose from, but there is always one that feels right in your heart, no matter how unconventional or strange it might seem." Lucifer spoke in a confident tone, his lips hovering close to hers as if tempting her to kiss him.
Vivian felt her body growing hot, her heartbeat racing faster and faster, and her mind foggy from being this close to him. It almost made her forget her duty as a mother for a second. However, she snapped back to reality and shook her head, taking control of the situation again. "What do you mean? If I shouldn't follow what is deemed right and wrong by society or even listen to your advice, then what should I do?"
However, instead of answering, Lucifer pulled her towards the door, leading her out of his office, surprising her again.
"Wait. Where are you taking me?" Vivian asked while struggling to free herself, yet he kept pulling her by the wrist, guiding her across the hall.
"Can you just trust me and let yourself go for a moment?" He said softly, turning his head around to look at her. "Allow me to show you something that will help clear your thoughts."
Vivian wanted to question him more, but seeing his relaxed demeanor and the aura he was giving off, she found herself calming down and staying silent, just letting him guide her wherever he wanted to go. 'Maybe I shouldn't be following him like this without knowing what he is planning... But still, there is something about him that is making me feel so attracted to him.'
It wasn't long before they were in the parking lot, heading towards Lucifer's black sports car. Once they were close to the passenger side, he unlocked the door and opened it, gesturing for her to get inside. "Come, Aunt Vivian. Hop in. Let me take you on a little trip to a place where you will find the answers that you are looking for."
After she took her place in the front passenger seat, Lucifer closed the door and got in behind the wheel. Without wasting any time, he put on his seatbelt, turned on the engine, and drove away, leaving the area at high speed.
Meanwhile, Vivian held on to the car's door as she felt the sudden acceleration. She was surprised by the sudden change in the situation and felt her heart racing from the adrenaline of speeding out of there so quickly.
Vivian glanced over at the driver's seat, admiring the young man as he focused on driving fast along the road while keeping a straight face. It amazed her how he seemed completely composed despite pushing the car's limits without worry or concern about safety issues.
"Lucifer? Could you slow down a bit? You are going way too fast... Where exactly are you taking me?" She inquired once the shock of their sudden departure passed, and she had the chance to calm down a bit and regain some sense of awareness.
However, he only glanced back at her for a moment before returning his eyes to the road. "You'll see; just wait and find out."
Lucifer remained silent after answering her question, focusing on controlling the vehicle to avoid accidents and speeding up even more to reach their destination as soon as possible.
Soon, after leaving behind the skyscrapers and busy streets of the city, they entered a long highway that stretched far ahead towards a more relaxed, scenic location.
