Chapter 322 Surprise and surprise

Keyara and Viana nodded in agreement. Keyara added, "yeah do that, and let's meet tomorrow to discuss some matters."

Kevin nodded, bidding them goodbye. They had decided to postpone the discussion about the ship incident until tomorrow, as they all wanted to get some rest.

So, he headed towards his house, strolling through the familiar streets he used to commute between his shop and home. The surroundings felt comforting and familiar, despite his relatively short time living there.

He couldn't wait to see his mom and sister. He had really missed them during these two months away.

Maria's soft body in his memories urged him to hurry home and embrace every part of it, while thoughts of Riya's lips tempted him to share more passionate moments with her. Recalling Riya, he wondered how her girlfriend and her sister were doing, though their names escaped him momentarily. "What was it? Key and... Natalia... is she still with her?" he pondered. Lost in such thoughts, he arrived at the front of his worn-out house.

"I should buy a new house soon," he muttered under his breath before unlocking the front door. Since it was early morning, he expected everyone to still be asleep. However, to his surprise, he heard the sound of the shower running from the bathroom.

'Who could it be?' he pondered, knowing that only his mother and sister lived here. His eyes gleamed mischievously as he stealthily hid under the stairs, unnoticed by whoever was in the bathroom.

As the sound of the shower ceased, Kevin's excitement grew, and he couldn't help but stifle a little giggle in anticipation of surprising whoever emerged from the bathroom. He adjusted his position under the stairs, ready to pounce out and catch the person off guard. Time seemed to slow down as he waited, hearing the sound of door finally opening after while without even seeing who was coming out the washroom.

Emerging from his hiding spot under the stairs, Kevin exclaimed, "Surprise!" However, his excitement turned to shock when the person stepping out of the bathroom didn't resemble his mother or sister.

Yet, there was a striking resemblance in her features—a frightened diamond-shaped face reminiscent of his mother's, and long hair, the same color as his and Maria's, cascading over flawless milky-white skin. Her black, pearly eyes widened with fear as she hastily clutched the pink towel wrapped around her chest, concealing her assets from his gaze.

Kevin stared at her with a dumbfounded expression as he uttered in surprise, "Aunty?"

"Who are you?" she asked in a raised and frightened voice, taking a step back with a scared expression, unable to recognize him.

"Didn't you recognize me? I'm Kevin, your nephew," he said, feeling embarrassed.

"You're not... he wasn't that tall?" she still didn't believe, and it was understandable. Kevin had changed so much in just three months. He had grown from 5 feet 6 inches to over 6 feet in height, and he had also put on quite a bit of muscle. Thanks to his cultivation technique, his face had also become more handsome. She continued. "And even if you are why were you waiting for me outside the washroom?"

Kevin felt embarrassed as he apologized, "Sorry for that... I thought you were Mom or Riya. I was just trying to surprise them."

"Kevin..." He heard Maria call his name in a shocked tone. He turned to look at her and saw her standing at the stairs, looking shocked and worried, but then she smiled as tears escaped her eyes, hurrying down.

Kevin smiled back, seeing her coming down hastily. "Slow down, Mom, don't trip over," he said, and he was still in the middle of talking' but she hugged him tightly, making him stop midway. With a smile, he hugged her soft body and said, "I missed you, Mom."

He didn't receive a verbal response from Maria, but her arms wrapped tightly around him, filling him with happiness. Despite expecting to feel aroused after such a long embrace, he found himself simply content. As her tears soaked through his shirt, he gently rubbed her back, attempting to comfort her.

"Why are you crying, Mom? I'm here, don't cry..." he whispered, turning to his aunt, who seemed shocked but not frightened by Maria's confirmation of Kevin's identity. A smile graced her face as she witnessed Maria's embrace, but Kevin didn't want Maria to cry, even though he loved seeing her tear-streaked face, so he continued. "Look, aunt Emma is watching us... stop crying."

"Let her watch... I won't let you go," Maria said, pressing her face into his chest.

Kevin chuckled as he hugged her, gently lifting her face to make her look up at him. Tears streamed down from her aqua blue eyes, tracing paths down her milky white cheeks. Kevin felt a surge of emotion, but he knew it was the right moment. He wiped the tear from her cheek and said, "Who said anything about letting me go? I just said, don't cry..."

Her tearful eyes gazed at his smiling face as she tried to hold back her tears by forcing a smile, nodding before pressing her face against his chest once more. Kevin chuckled, then turned to Emma, who was still watching them with a smile while clutching the towel wrapped around her.

"Do you believe me now?" he asked, making her blush as she nodded. Maria, her emotions somewhat under control now, also turned to Emma, still hugging Kevin.

"What are you talking about?" she inquired, puzzled.
