Lust System: Harem Of Beautiful Women

Chapter 789 Secret

His sister-in-law was immediately incensed.

Luis lit a cigarette and said calmly, ”Isnʼt this perfectly normal? The main reason your mom agreed to rebuild the ancestral home was that she didnʼt have to pay for it.”

”Even if we chip in for some furniture, itʼs not much.”

Leahʼs personality couldnʼt stand this. She gritted her teeth in anger. ”Brother-in-law, is this your excuse for sleeping with my mom???”

That was definitely the soul-searching question. Luis smiled without panicking, simply speaking softly, ”Leah, Iʼm not trying to put you down, but do you understand the adult world?”

”What donʼt I understand!!!”

Young people always want to seem mature. Saying something like that to her was practically a challenge. In an instant, his sister-in-law was so mad her chest was heaving.

Seeing her temper flare, Luis knew he had her. He continued casually, ”Since you understand the adult world, then what do you think will eventually happen with your parents?”

”Well...”

That question caught Leah off guard.

Sheʼd been about to blurt out, ”Then just get divorced—what else can they do?”

Growing up, she had been mostly raised by Aunt Yana and Aunt Eloise. She had little emotional attachment to her father.

In her eyes, her older sister Nancy was practically a traitor—calling that mistress ”Auntie” affectionately, even once calling her ”Little Mom.” Unforgivable.

But when it came to the future, this was the most confusing age.

Luis leaned against the car and looked at her, smiling. ”Just treat this as me rambling, and then think about whether Iʼm right.”

”Your mom raised the three of you on barely any money each month. Why didnʼt she get a divorce? Because sheʼd get even less if she did.”

”Think about it from her perspective—if they went to court, how much child support would she really get? Would it be enough for three daughters?”

”Even if your mom went to work, would what she earned actually be enough?”

While Leah listened in stunned silence, Luis put out his cigarette and lit another one.

”Leah, right now life feels easy and happy for you. But have you ever thought about how your mom got through all those years???”

Leah wavered for a moment, then said defiantly, ”Donʼt give me that. No matter how Mom got through it, thatʼs no excuse for you two to cheat.”

She was still clear-headed enough, but for Luis, this was manageable.

Luis just looked at her with a knowing smile. Leah couldnʼt help feeling guilty, but she pressed on stubbornly, ”Am I wrong??”

”Aunt Yana and Aunt Eloise helped raise you, but only occasionally. Your mom was so busy she was practically losing her mind.”

”According to her, when she was raising the three of you, she was so exhausted she didnʼt even have the strength to hang herself.”

”Your dad went off to find a mistress, but the kids he left behind—she had to raise them. All things considered, itʼs a miracle your mom never beat you.”

Leah suddenly put herself in that situation—if her husband cheated and didnʼt come home.

Then she had to raise three kids, looking like a disheveled madwoman. She couldnʼt control her emotions at the thought.

Seeing her hesitating, Luis continued, ”But your mom kept going. Thatʼs a determination no one can ignore.”

”See the biggest problem? Sheʼs been starved of affection for all those years.”

Luis said seriously, ”If sheʼd been willing to abandon you, her life would have been much easier. But youʼve seen it all these years.”

”She lived on that meager allowance, worked hard to raise you, and did odd jobs to make ends meet.”

This time, Leah was visibly moved. But she still gritted her teeth and said, ”So what? That still doesnʼt make it right for you to cheat with my mom.”

Luis could tell her defenses were wavering, so he went straight in. ”Then let me ask you—if your parents divorced now and your mom found some old guy to marry, would you be happy with that???”

”My mom wouldnʼt make it that easy for that vixen.”

Leah immediately scoffed.

”Exactly. So why should that vixen get to live happily with your dad while your mom has to suffer alone all these years? Thatʼs just not fair.”

Leah looked conflicted. ”But... you still canʼt be with my mom...”

”Leah, youʼre grown up now. You should understand your momʼs pain.”

”All these years, itʼs just been a widow and her kids. Youʼve all been bullied enough. Those old geezers—which one ever had good intentions toward your mom?”

Luis said earnestly, ”Your momʼs at this age now. She doesnʼt want to find you a stepfather. And now that lifeʼs finally getting better, is there really any need to stir up more chaos?”

”I admit weʼre wrong—itʼs all my fault, really.”

Luis said with genuine sincerity. ”And donʼt blame your mom. Itʼs on me. That night, on her birthday, sheʼd had too much to drink, and we were all so happy—I lost control for a moment, and it just happened.”

”By the next morning, when weʼd sobered up, it was already too late to take it back.”

”So that was the night...”

Leah said dazedly. Of course she remembered her motherʼs birthday.

Her mother had been moved to tears, and the three sisters had cried with joy too. Theyʼd all seen how much their mom had suffered over the years.

Unlike the traitor Nancy, Leah was firmly on her motherʼs side. She hated that vixen and had little affection for her father.

Leah sighed. ”Brother-in-law, but youʼre with me... and with my mom... if my second sister ever finds out, our family will be ruined.”

”Then weʼll just keep it from her!”

Luisʼs eyes lit up. In the end, her worry outweighed her anger—that was a good opening.

He immediately wrapped his arms around her from behind. Leah gave a few tsundere struggles, but when she couldnʼt break free, she just let herself be held.

Breathing in the intoxicating scent of her hair, Luis said with a smile, ”Donʼt worry, Leah...”

”Your momʼs at this age now. If we keep this up for a few years, at least itʼll make up for all the years sheʼs suffered.”

”Everyone has desires. Sheʼs been suppressing hers for so long—she deserves to enjoy herself.”

”How could it be okay for her to get involved with some random guy out there? Itʼs better to be with someone we know, right?”

It was pure, unadulterated nonsense—but for the moment, Leah actually found it convincing.

”As for your second sister, donʼt worry.”

”Even before she got pregnant, she couldnʼt satisfy me. And after she got pregnant, she was always worried Iʼd get too pent up.”

”Men are all no good.”

Leah mumbled with a blush.

”Heh, your sister actually approves of me finding other women—just as long as I donʼt pay for it and donʼt break up the family.”

”Would you believe that if I went and told your second sister right now that weʼre having an affair, sheʼd just scold me a bit and not really get that angry?”

Leah shot him a seductive glare. ”Donʼt be so sure. If my second sister finds out, sheʼll definitely kill you.”

Luis tempted her further. ”The thing is, your second sister has a secret—thatʼs why sheʼs so tolerant of me.”

”What secret!!”

”Hehe, Iʼll keep it a secret for now. I promise youʼll be pleasantly surprised.”

”Hmph, I wonʼt say anything anyway. But youʼd better be careful—if my second sister catches you, youʼre dead.”
