Saved by Crazy Stepfather! - Chapter 103-1

I thought it might be something he was saying to bring back my mother’s memories.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have imagined my dad saying that. I couldn’t believe my dad likes my mom. What did he mean ‘I love you’? It could never happen.

But obviously that’s the truth. I didn’t want to believe it, but my father’s eyes were clearer than ever.

“You must have been surprised by the sudden remark. It’s surprising when you have memories, but probably more confusing when you don’t remember it.”

Dad, who seemed as resolute as a log and never seemed to break, looked like a soft pudding.

“I mean… I don’t know what I’m talking about.”

Him awkwardly scratching his head was different from what I had ever seen.

‘Daddy’s being weird.’

But the weirdness made my heart flutter. It’s because the expression on my father’s face was quite similar to that when he looked at me.

It was around that time a voice came out of my mother’s mouth, who was still listening to my father.

“Ah… didn’t I love you?”

At that question, my father and I blinked for a moment.

“What?”

“It’s strange. I think my heart loved you quite a bit. I don’t remember, but… they all have different feelings. When I see Bebe calling me ‘Mom’, my heart aches and I feel numb, but it makes me smile, and when I see you…”

Mom mumbled her words towards the end before looking at my dad and I alternately. My father and I had no choice but to be nervous as we paused for what she was trying to say.

“You two look alike, just like a father and daughter. You look different, but your expressions are so identical.”

“Huh?”

“Does Dad and I look alike?”

My eyes naturally turned to my father, following my mom’s words. Dad nodded his head as if it was obvious.

“We do look alike. Bebe, you’re so pretty because you look like me.”
“…”

“It’s because you’re smart just like me.”

“Cute and lovely…”

I shook my head from side to side as my father talked shamelessly.

“I’m pretty, smart, cute and lovely! It’s because it’s Bebe!”

“Huh…? Is that so?”
“Yeah! So I’m not saying it’s all thanks to you!”

After scolding my father firmly, I looked at my mother again. Maybe it was funny seeing my dad and I like this, but there was a smile on my mom’s face.

“S-So…”
“Yes?”
“Are you trying to talk more?”
“Ah, yes, Bebe, every time I see you, I get that feeling… of the person here…”

Mom politely put her hands together towards my father, as if she didn’t know what to call my dad. Dad looked at me with his mouth wide open like a fool, as if he had fallen for my mother.

He really made a stupid face.

“Oh my, Dad, my mother wants to know your name.”

“O-Oh! That’s what it is.

“A-Ah! That’s what it is. It’s Xenox.”

“Oh… Mr Xenox?”
“Feel free to call me Xenox.”

“Xenox… what a nice name.”

Oh, what should I say? Looking at the two of them, I feel like I’m stuck in a place I shouldn’t be.

‘Oh, what is this feeling?’

It felt like staring at a bee sticking to a human. I felt like I shouldn’t be here.

‘The two of them are shining except for me. It’s just warm.’

But they didn’t seem to care about me.

“So what do you think about me?”
“I don’t remember, but I think I felt the same way. Even when I say this, my heart races. I can’t say for sure what it is, but…”

I guess they can’t see me. Somehow I felt like I shouldn’t interrupt so I got up from my seat and approached the chair where my dad was sitting.

Dad, who has been sitting on the chair before, got up and moved in front of Mom.

“Do you really feel that way?”

“I’m not sure because I don’t remember, but… maybe. Yes, I think that’s how I feel. Didn’t I ever say that I like Xenox?”
“Not at all.”

“It’s strange. It’s so overwhelming.”

Ah, I want to leave.

I looked at the two of them, who didn’t even notice me for a long time, with their lips pursed.

“That’s a relief. I was curious about your feelings. Before you lost your memory, there was no room for you to go in, but now, I don’t think so anymore.”

“I think I felt the same way before and now.”

Since when did they become like this? Since when have they been in love? They were so happy, except for me, but I liked it so much.

I couldn’t take it anymore, so I ended up getting in between the two of them.
“I can’t do this. Please take care of me too. Love me, too.”

As I dug between the two, both my mom and dad looked at me with a surprised look. I shamelessly grabbed my mother’s waist and rubbed my hair as she stroked my hair softly.
