391: Befriending her son

Befriending her son

"Hmm… So what do you intend?" Pink asked.1

"I have no idea." 

"How about you elope with me?" She whispered. 

Hearing that, Brian burst into a pile of laughter. "That's more like what Jeslyn would say." 

"You mean VJ Cute?" 

"Definitely," he chuckled. 

"I'm her biggest fan," Pink claimed. 

"That's not true, I was her first fan." Brian disagreed. 

"I bought tickets for 500 people at her last concert." 

"I self-promoted her music on platforms with millions of users… guess what, her 'Spirit Leads' are still on the top Ten ranking worldwide." He said proudly. 

"Hmm… I can smell true love in the air. Is she the one?" Pink winked. 

"Of course not!" Brian immediately denied it without a second thought. 

"Oh? The one you love isn't Jeslyn, yet you do so much for her behind her back? Tell me, what's up between you both?"

"I also don't know why I'm so obsessed with her. At some point, I thought I loved her, but the first time I carried her through the stairs, I didn't have romantic feelings, nor did her touch do anything to me. I was quite shocked, to be honest. Jeslyn is a gorgeous and cute baby that I want to protect with my life, but there are no strings attached… Lady Pink, is this feeling normal?" 

Pink stayed silent for a moment, "How does she feel about you?" 

"I think she likes me too. I was told she was distraught when I fell sick some time ago. Also, her behavior seemed like she liked me but not in a romantic way either… that brat loves her husband more than life itself." 

"Anything else?" 

"Hmm… there is. But I feel it's a delusion."

"Let me hear it."

"That time she was passing through a lot in Rose City, I followed the case. When she was crying, I felt her pain… like, it felt as if I was in her shoes. I cried very badly too… even at her grandfather's funeral; I watched that too, and for three days, I wasn't myself. Sometimes my mood swing is unexplainable. I might be happy one minute, and the next, I'm sad or angry. Then her name would miraculously flash past my mind… Do my words make any sense?"

"That…yes, it does. There's something called Twin telepathy… an instance where one twin feels the other's pains. Something like that. Although it's not proven to be real yet, who knows…."

"Well, that's for twins, like the name suggests, but I'm not a twin." 

"How sure are you?" Pink raised a brow.

"Na, I'm not. I'm my parent's only child." 

Pink nodded and sat up. "I gave birth to twins, but one was snatched before I woke up. For many years, everyone and I thought I had one child until I found out it wasn't true… don't believe everything you see. The world is full of wonders, twists, and turns…" Pink stood up. It was time to leave. 

"You didn't leave me your number," He said. 

Pink shook her head, "I'm scared they'd discover me if I use phones too much, so I only use the hotel's landline." 

"Then how do I see you again?" 

Pink smiled, "Find me at Delight Hotels…room 200." With that, she got on her black motorbike and waved at Brian before zooming off. 

Brian watched the bike leave into the distance before he also got on his bike and left in the opposite direction. 

…

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window in her VIP hotel room with a phone, Pink's mind traveled back to how her night went. 

Pink isn't gossip-friendly, but to earn her son's trust, she researched the most important things he's interested in. In doing so, when they meet, they'll have something in common to discuss. 

Since she sneaked into the city, Pink had been lurking around Brian and looking for ways to approach him, but the boy is either with Nancy, his father, or his guards. So when she got an opportunity today, she immediately grabbed it. 

To not look suspicious, she pretended that she didn't know him or was interested in his family. 

Pink was in deep thought, she didn't know if Brian would choose her over his parents. Also, she has not much time left to spend here. Before Maverick left, he specifically told her to return and keep Jeslyn company so she won't miss him much. 

Pink was calling someone with a burner phone when the person answered the call, she said excitedly. 

"Yellow, I saw him! I saw my son, and he's so lovely!"

"Oh my! …I'm so excited! Did he agree to come with you?" 

Pink and Yellow spoke more about the situation, and a while later, Yellow asked, "How are you faring? How are things going over there?" 

Pink stayed silent for a few seconds… "I've seen him from afar… he hasn't changed much. He's still as handsome and authoritative as I knew him to be." 

"Of course, they own the City and are the most powerful family in the world. I'm not asking about that… what did you feel when you saw him… don't tell me hatred."

Pink walked back to the couch and sat before continuing. "I had no idea that after not seeing him for 25 years, I still have a soft spot for him."

"Hmm, it's because you know it wasn't entirely his fault… don't attack me yet, the story you told me made me conclude that, " Yellow giggled. 

"It seems you're enjoying this."

"I won't lie, I can't imagine the almighty Pink staring at a man with a loving gaze or speaking softly to him. Hahaha…" Yellow teased. 

"Hand your responsibilities to Blue and return to the city…." Pink commanded.

"Urgh! Are you taking revenge on me for teasing you?"

"Yes, and no. Boss has entered the red room, and Jeslyn knows nothing about it. He doesn't want her to figure out anything about his risk–filled journey, which is why someone has to stay by her." Pink explained. 

"I understand. I'll return in two days." 

"Great."
