Chapter 233: Missed Opportunity
"Did you really have to go that far just to provoke me, Kafka, and make me act out in a certain way you wanted?" Bella asked in spite but didn't dare look at me too harshly since she was still afraid of me. "Especially when my mother still has a potentially venomous spider on her chest?"
Camila jerked up when she was reminded of her precarious situation and looked at me with pitiful eyes to help her out instead of playing around. But I ignored her for a second and first said to Bella,
"Is there anything that's really considered going too far if the end result means that a caring mother can now finally talk to her daughter as to why she's been behaving in such a disrespectful manner to her, her whole life, after finding out that the daughter actually does actually care for her mother and has hidden it for whatever reason, which you two can discuss later after I leave, since I don't want to be involved in soppy family drama?"
I pointed out the crux of the matter without any unnecessary words, which made Bella feel as if there was nothing that she could keep a secret from me, almost as if I could read her every thought, which made her even more afraid in my presence and made her look away from my gaze, not willing to underestimate just because of my age any longer.
Camila herself was beyond elated that she could finally have a long chat with her daughter about their tricky relationship and why Bella acted the way she did towards her even though she did appreciate her in a certain way, and she looked at me with gratitude in her eyes for giving her a chance to solve things with her daughter.
She even looked like she wanted to give me a deep kiss on the lips for the first time for helping her out, but stopped herself when she thought of the spider on her chest that would probably bite her if she made too many movements.
"...And as for the spider on Camila's chest, you don't have to worry about it any longer as I've already taken it off her." I said to both their surprise since they never saw me take it off.
And to prove it to them both, I pulled out the spider from my pocket and showed it to them, which immediately made Camila shiver and run off to her daughter's side to get away from me and the spider that was dangling in between my fingers.
Camila grabbed onto her daughter's arm for support without thinking about their messy relationship of the past after finding out that her daughter actually did care for her, when she never would've done such a thing before.
And Bella, being the shy girl she was, tried to shake her mother's hand off since she was embarrassed about such intimate behaviour with her mother, but couldn't do since Camila clung on closely and refused to let her daughter go.
"What is it, Bella?~ Are you not going to protect your frail mother anymore?~"
Camila took the opportunity to tease her daughter with a smile on her face, which made Bella look at me with unwillingness as if she blamed me for her mother's sudden attachment to her, which she wasn't used to since she would always push her away before, but couldn't do so anymore after having her true feelings revealed.
"Fine...But don't get too cosy with me, as I'm only allowing this for the moment, mom." Bella sighed, which immediately made Camila hug onto her arm even more tightly and rub her cheeks on it, like she was making up for all the time in the past where she couldn't hug her daughter to Bella's dismay.
"And you, Kafka!...The one who made me say so many things that I never wanted to mention for now!" Bella called out to me confidently, like she was going to pick a fight with me. But she simmered down the moment she saw me look at her, afraid that I would throw the spider in my hand onto her if she angered me.
"...J-Just when did you take the spider off her chest?...I don't think both me or my mother saw you removing it from her body."
"Of course you wouldn't have, since you would've thought I was simply playing around with Camila's chest at that time..." I informed them about when I got rid of the spider while I put the spider on the coffee table and then put a cup on top of it, which made both mother and daughter let out a sigh of relief seeing that the spider was finally trapped.
"You mean-"
"Yep, I took the spider out when I slipped your mother's bra down and silently took away the spider using the cover that I was having fun with your mother's chest, which you didn't notice." I said, which made Camila realise that her bare chest was still out in the open, but she didn't bother to cover it up since she was too busy cuddling with her daughter.
I then said with a look on my face, as if I had been treated wrongly, "...I mean, come on, do you really think that a gentleman like me would do such an inappropriate act towards your beautiful mother, whom I heavily respect?"
Both Camila and Bella had the exact same look of disdain in their eyes when they heard my inbox words, as if it wasn't clear before, but it was quite obvious now, after everything I did and said, that I was one sinister and devious motherfucker that they needed to be wary of, or else they'd wake up one day naked on my bed without even knowing what happened.
"Well, at least now that we know that the spider is away from us, you don't have to search my body anymore for the spider, Kafka, and I can put my clothes back." Camila said with a haughty smile on her face, like she was elated that I missed out on the opportunity she was sure that I was looking forward to, while Bella didn't know how to feel that she was the only one who was embarrassed today while her mother got off rather easily.
And as Camila walked up to me to pick up the top of the sofa, she whispered to me while looking at me with a tender gaze in her eyes,
"I thought that you were going to use the excuse of the spider to bully me in front of my daughter and do all sorts of things to me while she watched, while ignoring the spider until you had your fun, which seems like something you would do with how perverted you are...But it looks like you care about me too much to play such pranks that can potentially harm me, and you quickly took the spider off me as quick as you could, so that it didn't bite me."
"I was already going to give you a rather passionate kiss for helping me out with my daughter, but it looks like I'll have to give you one more for being so thoughtful and not letting your perverted nature get to you for my sake..."
Camila said with a provocative look in her eyes as she turned around and walked back to her daughter while swaying her hips from side to side, not knowing that the reason I didn't do such a thing was because I was going to do something even worse next, that just didn't stop at simple groping and would become a mother-daughter bonding experience that she would never forget for the rest of her life...
