Chapter 394 United Against A Common Enemy
Camila immediately understood why my mother was asking such a question.
My mother was someone that was a little too nice for her own good, so she by no means could openly accept her if it meant that it would bring about the wreckage of a happy and peaceful household.
That's why she wanted to make sure that everything was in order before she accepted Camila and also expected a certain level of justification for leaving her husband.
"Since I really don't like talking about my husband too much, I'll just say that in all the years that I've spent with him, the only happiness he has ever given me is my daughter, Bella."
"...Other than that, I don't recall any other memory with him that made me feel even the slightest bit of gratitude for marrying such a man."
Camila bleakly said with a wry smile on her face, which was more than enough to make my mother realise her circumstances, which were quite common in this world.
Camila also added, just in case my mother wanted to hear it,
"I also plan to divorce him very soon to cleanly cut off all my ties with him, so you don't have to worry about any issues, Abigaille."
"Oh, no! I never really thought about that!...And I should also be the one saying sorry for even asking such a question that made you feel uncomfortable, Camila."
My mother quickly apologised for bringing up Camila's hollow past, which I myself wasn't so clear of yet.
"Oh no, Abigaille~ Please don't apologise over such a silly matter."
Camila politely waved her hands to show that she didn't have to fret over someone like her husband.
She then blushed like she was going to say something really embarrassing and shyly said to my mother, while nervously holding onto her own wrists,
"W-We're also one family from now on, now that you've accepted me into your household, Abigaille, s-so we really don't throw around unfamiliar terms like 'sorry' between family members, don't you think?"

"...Or, is it just me who feels like I've already joined your beloved family?"
Camila bashfully asked, hoping that she wasn't the only one feeling this warm sensation that surrounded her when she referred to all of us as one family.
"No, Camila! The feeling is most definitely mutual! You're definitely a woman of our Vanitas household now!" Explore new worlds at empire
My mother exclaimed with a bright glint in her eyes and a look of elation written all over her face. She then continued saying, as she held onto Camila's hand in a familiar manner,
"Normally, it would take a little while for someone to accept another person into their household who they're not directly related to...But, for some reason, when I look at you, Camila, I feel like I've already known you for years, and I can't help but look up at you like a big sister I've never had."
My mother blushed, honestly admitting that she saw Camila as someone she couldn't help but look up to because of her dignified bearing that resembled a Queen of an Empire.
"What a coincidence, Abigaille; I also felt the same way towards you ever since I met you for the first time~" Camila responded to my mother's feelings in a cordial manner.
She then showed a gracious smile as she continued saying, "Especially, when I saw your bubbly nature that always put a smile on my face, whenever I saw you bouncing around like a little ball of sweetness and positivity, Abigaille....I simply couldn't resist the thought of thinking about you as my adorable little sister."
"O-Oh, is that so...I'm glad you feel that way."
My mother gave a shy giggle at being treated like a little sister, since she always wanted an older sister who she could rely on ever since she was a child. She then looked at Camila with a hesitant gaze and asked,
"T-Then, Camila, if you want to, t-then you can call me Abi instead of the usual Abigaille, since everyone who's really close to me calls me by my pet name instead of my actual name."
"...O-Of course, you can reject my proposal if you really don't want to!" My mother waves her hands to tell her that she wasn't forcing her to call her by her nickname.
"Why would I reject calling you such a cute name, Abi?" Camila asked as she pulled on my mother's puffy cheeks. "Only such a name would fit an adorable little sister like you~"
Getting her cheeks lovingly pulled by Camila and hearing her Camila call out to her in such a tender manner, like Camila really was looking after her as her older sister, my mother felt that she could really get used to this younger sister treatment that Camila was bestowing upon her and let her older sister have her way with her cheek, as much as she wanted to.
"Haha, what a warm atmosphere all of us have created here!~"
I suddenly barged into the conversation as I held both of them in my arms, which made Camila look at me with an irritated gaze for interrupting her bonding time with her little sister.
I ignored her sharp gaze and said to both of them, as I pulled them closer into my embrace,
"So, as a mark of establishing our family, that's only going to grow bigger and bigger in the coming future; why don't we celebrate this joyous occasion by skipping breakfast and taking this party all the way to the bedroom?"
A lewd smile appeared on my face as I groped both of their breasts in my hands, which easily warped in shape with how squishy they were.
Grope~
My mother had a look of defeat on her face as she already knew that there was no way to resist me after I got into the mood and she could only be dragged into bed, where she'd spend the next couple of hours moaning like an animal in heat.
But unexpectedly, this time, things weren't going my way as my mother had gained a saviour by her side who wasn't going to let me bully my mother anymore and was going to protect my mother from me, as her older sister, who took it as her responsibility to look after her.
"Take your hands off us, Kafka!"
Camila slapped my hands off then with a cold gaze in her eyes, like she was looking down at the man who was mercilessly playing around with her little sister. She then pulled my mother away from me and placed her behind her in a protective manner and declared to me saying,
"I know you used to act like tyrant in this household in the past and would pester Abi with your lecherous desires all the time, knowing that your poor mother would have no chance of resisting."
"...But that all stops now, now that I've entered this household, as I'm making it my duty to keep Abi away from your deviant claws!"
My mother stood behind Camila and looked at her in awe, seeing as to how she had the courage to stand up again to an overlord like me who did what he wanted.
She was even more amazed when she saw that I didn't argue back with her or advance forward like she thought I would, and how I actually looked stumped by the situation, knowing that Camila wasn't someone I can easily deal with like my mother.
My mother already admired Camila because of her stunning looks and her graceful gait. But after witnessing Camila stand before me for her sake, her admiration grew to idolisation, and it almost made her look like there were stars in her blue eyes as she gazed at Camila, who looked so cool in her eyes at the moment.
Knowing that she finally had someone that she could rely on in this household and a reliable barrier that could actually stop the animal, that was her son, my mother held onto the back of Camila's clothes and hid behind her in a rather adorable manner.
She also seemed like she was going to make this her safe space where she can run to whenever I go after her, which made me let out a wry smile, seeing as to how the women of this household were already uniting against me.
Well, I guess it's better that they're uniting to fight against me rather than breaking all sorts of relationships with one another to fight for me, which would've been an entirely different scale of disaster that I wanted to avoid at all costs unless I wanted a couple of knifes inserted into my back for being a horrendous womanizer...
