Bab 21: Conquering Mommy

While Alex was still at school, Chae-Yeong was having a glass of wine while sitting on the sofa. She had just kicked her husband out of the house. And was now regretting the fight they had gotten into. With a heavy sigh, she shook her head, all while thinking about how crazy she had been acting ever since she first saw her stepson naked.

"Oh Chae-Yeong… What are you doing?"

Just when she was about to contemplate this question, the mature Korean beauty heard the doorbell ring. Causing her to place the glass of wine down, and answer the door. Where she saw her next-door neighbor standing in the doorway with a worried look on her face.

Yet again, another woman who was trying to steal her son away from her had appeared. Causing Chae-Yeong to frown as she spoke in a bitter tone.

"What do you want?"

Jung-Hyun immediately raised her hands in defense as she asked about the commotion she had overheard just moments before.

"I'm sorry. Is this a bad time? I heard some shouting take place, while I was tending to my garden, and felt the need to check in…"

Chae-Yeong was surprised that the next-door neighbor seemed to care so much. And thus she sighed heavily before opening the door fully, allowing Jung-Hyun into her home. Once Jung-Hyun stepped inside, Chae-Yeong offered her a drink.

"Would you like a glass of wine? I have a nice bottle of rose which I have been saving for a special occasion. Of course, now it is simply helping me get through the day."

Jung-Hyun smiled and nodded her head as she accepted her neighbor's offer.

"Yes, please!"

Chae-Yeong did not even wait for the response as she poured the drink. Even if Jung-Hyun had declined, she just would have drank it herself. She then handed the glass over to the green-haired beauty before sitting down on the sofa. Where Jung-Hyun joined her.

Perhaps because she was a little tipsy, but Chae-Yeong immediately spoke of her troubles to her next-door neighbor, who she herself barely knew.

"I'm sorry for the way I acted the other day… I am just having a hard time adjusting to the idea of having a son. I always wanted one when my former husband and I were together, but it just never happened. Now that I am remarried and have a son to call my own, I have had a difficult time knowing how to act around him. Especially since he is so…. Intense."

Jung-Hyun had long since known that something was going on between Chae-Yeong and her stepson. She just didn't know how far they had gone. And thus she was quick to ask about this, in a roundabout way, hoping to conceal her intentions.

"Do you and Alex get along?"

Chae-Yeong wore a pretty smile as she thought about Alex, and how kind he had been to her, especially these last two weeks. She nodded her head as she confirmed Alex was not the primary problem she was facing.

"Amazingly, so… I am surprised at how quickly he has accepted me as his mother, despite the problems he has with his own mother. It's just that… His father disapproves of how friendly he is to me and my daughters. As if we are a little too close for his comfort. He has begun cracking down on Alex, which I believe is making the boy resentful towards the both of us.

Not only that, but I caught John speaking to his ex today, and calling her dear…. He was so excited to speak with her, in a way that he is never been around me… It made me feel so useless…"

Jung-Hyun had a sharp wit and could immediately pinpoint the exact problem that her neighbor was having, thus she was quick to ask for confirmation on this issue.

"Trouble in bed?"

This remark caused Chae-Yeong to blush as she looked away. Before ultimately admitting to it.

'How… How did you know?"

The mature beauty from next door simply giggled as she confirmed that she had a sharp eye for these matters.

"Oh, I can usually tell when that is the case. There are some rather obvious signs that a woman displays when she is sexually frustrated. I would know… Well, from what it sounds like, your husband has not gotten over his ex, and may have rushed into a marriage with you to help distract himself.

If that is the case, I don't expect your marriage to last long, especially if you are already having fights like this after only a few months of being married."

This opinion caused Chae-Yeong's expression to sink, and she was just about to say something when she heard the roar of Alex's motorcycle pull up into the driveway. A look of excitement suddenly appeared on the mature Korean beauty's face as she got up from her seat in an attempt to greet her son.

"Alex is home!"

Though Jung-Hyun did not say anything, she could now understand the nature of Chae-Yeong and Alex's relationship. They may have engaged in some light touching, but the mother and son had not gone all the way yet. Probably because Chae-Yeong felt a bit of guilt over the idea of cheating on her current husband.

When Alex finally walked through the door, he was surprised to see his stepmother, and the milf next door sharing a bottle of wine. Usually when women gathered like this, it was either to gossip, or to speak of their problems.

And Alex knew that Chae-Yeong and Jung-Hyun were not good enough friends to simply gossip with each other while their husbands were away. Thus, Alex immediately questioned what was wrong.

"Is something the matter? I'm not intruding on anything, am I?"

Chae-Yeong was perhaps more tipsy than she thought, because she instantly wrapped her arms around Alex's neck, and dragged his head into her bosom, as she assured him that nothing was wrong.

"Nothing is the matter, my son. You don't need to worry about it. You will always have me, your mommy, to take care of you!"

This, of course, immediately told Alex that something had happened, where he broke himself away from Chae-Yeong's grasp before asking her with a question serious look on his face.

"Is this about Diana? Don't tell me she contacted you and the old man as well?"

Chae-Yeong's expression suddenly sank, as the light in her eyes was suddenly snuffed out, almost as if they had become an abyss. She cocked her head in a certain way that made Alex suspect his stepmother had entered a murderous trance, as she asked the question that was plaguing her mind with an almost frightening tone in her otherwise alluring voice.

"That woman contacted you? When?"

In response to this, Alex averted his gaze with an awkward look on his face before confirming that indeed his other mother had called him earlier in the day.

"She called me today in between two of my classes. I was a bit surprised at first, but I let her know that I wasn't interested in speaking to her. After all, I have a new mommy now, one who won't abandon me!"

These words had dragged Chae-Yeong out of her hostile trance. The light returned to her eyes, along with a wide and loving smile, as she clutched Alex to her bosom once more.

"That's absolutely right! Mommy will always be here for you, unlike that terrible woman! Now, we don't need to mention her name ever again, do we?"

Jung-Hyun watched the interactions between Alex and his stepmother, and realized that Chae-Yeong might have become a little too obsessed with Alex because her actions had terrified her. Because of this, she simply minded her own business, and continued to drink her wine, all while watching the scene unfold in front of her.

"Now Alex, how about mommy cooks you a nice home made snack? Is there anything in particular you want to eat?"

Alex thought about it for a moment, before feeling a little bit embarrassed. After all, it had been many years since he had enjoyed such a childish food. But he could not help but want his new mommy to cook it for him.

"How about a grilled cheese? Can you make that for me, mommy?"

Chae-Yeong simply smirked and pet Alex's golden hair, before confirming that she could indeed make such a thing for him.

"Of course! One grilled cheese coming right up!"

Chae-Yeong then entered the kitchen and began to prepare the snack for her son. As for Alex, he sat down in front of Jung-Hyun and gave her a look that basically said his thoughts.

"Women, am I right?"

This caused Jung-Hyun to giggle as she commented on the situation.

"You are lucky to have a stepmother like Chae-Yeong. It takes a special kind of woman to embrace another woman's son as her own."

Alex smirked as he nodded his head in agreement with the mature beauty's words.

"You don't need to tell me that twice…"

After saying this, Chae-Yeong entered the room with a grilled cheese sandwich, which lied on a plate, and was cooked to perfection. She also had a beer in her hand, which she gave to Alex, before taking a sip of her wine, which was sitting at an end table.

"Enjoy! Mommy made it just for you!"

Alex immediately noticed that the crusts were cut off, which was just the way he liked his grilled cheese. Thus he did not hesitate to take a bite into it, where a warm smiled appeared on his face, as if he were remembering the days of his childhood, when his own mother actually gave a shit about him.

It was only after taking this first bite, and washing it down with a beer, did Chae-Yeong reveal what had happened to the man's father.

"Oh, by the way, Alex, your father will be staying a hotel for a little while, as we work out our differences. So until he returns, you don't need to worry about that therapy appointment which he set you up with. I have already called and cancelled it on your behalf."

Alex smirked when he heard this. He had not actually planned to tell some psychologist about his behavior or the reason that had led him to act in such a way. I mean, who would believe him? If he were particularly unlucky, he might get stuck in a mental asylum.

Thus, he was glad that he didn't have to waste his time with such a fruitless endeavor. However, what really stuck out to him was the fact that his father and stepmother's relationship had deteriorated to this point, and thus, Alex was quick to comment on this.

"This isn't my fault, is it?"

However, contrary to what Alex was expecting, it was Jung-Hyun who answered this question. Especially because Chae-Yeong seemed quite troubled over the matter.

"Not at all, Alex. Your father hasn't gotten over his ex, and that has been causing troubles between him and Chae-Yeong for some time now. The fact that he called her today was the final straw…"

This sudden information explained why Diana had called him earlier in the day. Undoubtedly, his father had contacted the woman to speak about his recent behavior. Which Chae-Yeong probably walked in on and made a big scene about.

This, in turn, had a chain reaction, which caused Diana to contact Alex, probably out of spite of what Chae-Yeong likely said to her. It all suddenly made sense to him, and Chae-Yeong noticed this, especially after Alex voiced the sentiment aloud.

"Okay, now this all makes sense. Fucking idiot, what the hell is he thinking, contacting that bitch when he has someone like mommy by his side? If I were him, I would never do something so foolish! You did the right thing mommy, the old man needs to spend some time in a hotel to think about just how lucky he is to have you!"

This remark caused Chae-Yeong to giggle. The sheer audacity that the boy had to speak about his own father in such a manner it was truly amusing. Still, she liked that he had taken her side, and without even realizing it, the mental barrier which had prevented her from embracing her stepson as a man had finally been cleared with this statement of support.

Meanwhile, Jung-Hyun was watching the mother and son duo with an intense gaze of envy. If only Alex were her stepson, would she herself have such an amazing relationship with him? She could not help but fantasize about this while thinking about why her own son had to be such a pathetic wastrel?

As for Alex, he immediately noticed the change in his stepmother's behavior. After all, the system sent a message straight into his vision informing him of it.

[Chae-Yeong's Affection: 100/100]

After seeing this, Alex simply grinned, knowing fully well that he could take his stepmother into his bed at any moment of his choosing. Of course, before that happened, he had to make the woman a bit more jealous. And thus he planned to visit both Su-Jin and Min-Ah's beds tonight. Knowing fully well that his mommy would watch as he fucked his stepsisters senseless.
