    "..."


    There was silence in the bathroom for a few seconds after Reba left. Rudy and Angelica turned to each other with pale faces. Rudy was frozen, both physically and mentally.


    He was shocked as something unprecedented happened, and they couldn''t do anything. Still, there was enough time to clear the misunderstanding.


    "Umm…" Angelica smiled nervously and awkwardly and said, "I know I shouldn''t say this, and I will surely get hated for saying this, but can we continue until we both cum?"


    "Yeah. I am not going out with a hard dick."


    Within two minutes, they finished, and Rudy left the bathroom with full clothes on.


    Even though Reba waspletely human, Rudy could feel her anger from the other side of the living room. He couldn''t dare to enter the living room and stood at the entrance.


    Reba was sitting on the couch with her hands folded below her bosom, with a frowned face and a murderous re in her eyes.


    "If res could kill, I would be dead a thousand times by now."


    "Enough of your maniptive talking. This is a serious matter."


    "Okay, okay. I was just trying to describe what I was feeling. Now, if you allow me to talk, I can clear the mis—"


    "Where is she?" she asked in a demanding tone.


    "Hmm?"


    "Angelica." Reba nced around and asked, "Where is Angelica? Did she turn herself invisible?"


    "No. She is… inside me. She lives inside my body."


    "She has… possessed you?!" She eximed in shock.


    "You could say that, but I wouldn''t say that. My body is her home… her charger. She needs to stay inside my body to harness the power to manifest herself in front of others. She can turn herself visible to everyone and live as a human among one, but that would drain a lot of energy, and it would stress her body greatly.


    Moreover, she would need to enter my body every thirty minutes if she decided to make herself visible to everyone. So that''s not an ideal solution. "


    "Where is she now?"


    "She is inside me."


    "Is she recharging herself?"


    "No. She is scared of you, I guess."


    "Bring her out. I want to talk to her too."


    Rudy knocked on his chest and said, "Step into the battleground, Angelica."


    ''I don''t want to! Deal with her yourself!''


    "Mind you, it''s your fault. Why did you not make sure that you had turned yourself invisible to her?"


    ''I had turned myself invisible, but maybe it didn''t work on your mother? And mind you, I have never turned myself invisible for someone after turning visible to them. Reina, Alice, and your harem member, but I never made myself invisible to anyone.''


    "That''s true, but exin it to mom. I am not fighting this battle alone when we were partners in… crime…"


    Rudy wanted to end his sentence with something more explicit, but he made it appropriate enough for Reba.


    ''Will she scold me? I don''t like when someone scolds me or talks to me in a rude manner. Of course, you are an exception. After all, I like to make you angry on purpose so you canter revenge my—''


    "Okay, that''s enough. Pleasee out."


    ''Fine~'' Angelica groaned. ''But you better give me a reward for doing this.''


    Angelica came out of Rudy''s body and stood beside him.


    "Wee," Reba greeted her. Obviously, in a sarcastic manner.


    Angelica looked into Reba''s eyes but soon averted her gaze and turned her face to the side. Then, she hid behind Rudy and peeked over his shoulder.


    That scene reminded Reba of her childhood with Jessica. Whenever Jessica did something that warranted Reba''s wrath, Jessica would hide behind the wall or the pirs, sometimes behind the stairs and doors, and peek her head with an innocent look on her face— which would calm Reba''s anger.


    The same thing happened now.


    "If you have anything to say, do it. I already know what you will say," Angelica said without making eye contact with Reba.


    Reba sighed softly and muttered, "And I thought we had be good friends the other day."


    "Who is using the emotional card now, huh?" Angelica remarked.


    "I am not. I am genuinely stating my feelings. How could you do that to me? Even if Rudy wanted to pull that prank on me— and I know he did because his pranks have always been taken too far— why did you help him with that?


    What if it was you in my ce, and you saw Rudy and me… doing that? How would you feel?"


    "...am I supposed to feel something by seeing that?" Angelica wondered while ncing at Rudy and Reba.


    "Sorry, mom, she is a pervert, so asking that question to her was your second mistake. And your first mistake was assuming that I was trying to show you that. Yes, leaving my clothes in the living room was a part of the prank.


    And I was going to call you to bring them in, so I could maybe pull you in and… you know, just flirt around with you to make it flustered. But then Angelica woke up, and we did our usual thing. She said she was invisible, and I thought it was okay, but… it was not okay."


    "Can we go back to where you said ''our usual thing''? What do you mean by that, exactly?"


    "You messed up," Angelica whispered in Rudy''s ears.


    "I don''t want to lie to mom."  He turned to Reba and said, "Angelica and I have sex in this house all the time."


    "..."


    Reba took a few seconds toprehend what she had just heard.


    "I know you might feel disgusted, but sex is an everyday thing in an adult life, and it''s needed to have a healthy rtionship."


    "Did you two also do it when I was in the house?"


    "We always do it in the bathroom in the morning. And at night, too, when you are on the night shift. That''s a daily routine for us, and it''s somewhat necessary, to be honest. Sex is like fast charging for Angelica."
