While Yelena was driving a car, she continued discussing other things with Elena, who was sitting in the passenger seat next to her.
"By the way, does mom and dad know that you have breastfed me?" Yelena asked curiously.
"Why are you bringing this up again? And yes, they obviously knew."
"And here I thought I would get dirt on you, which I could use to blackmail you in the future."
"Don't try your luck, little sister."
Rebecca gently placed her hand on Elena's shoulder and pressed it. Curious, Elena looked back, thinking it was Rudy.
Elena turned to Rudy and noticed he was sleeping.
"He was awake a while ago," she whispered.
"The boring conversation between you two surely made him sleepy."
"Shut up. He had a hectic day today."
After driving for a few minutes, Yelena turned to Elena and asked, "So, what's the plan? Are you coming over to our house? Mom is missing you."
"I can't. If I stay there, who will drop Rudy and Rebecca back home?"
"Can't he just teleport?" Yelena shrugged, "I mean… he will have to wake up, anyway."
Elena looked at Rebecca and asked, "Is that okay?"
After a brief silence, Rebecca responded, "I thought you were going to spend the night with him."
"I planned to, but it's fine. I am no longer as desperate as I was for the last eighteen years. You can have him for tonight. Take good care of him."
She shot a smile at her and added, "You know what I mean by that, right?"
"..."
"If there is someone at home, I can book a room for you two in a nearby hotel."
"I will go home."
"Ah, your favourite place in the entire world…"
"That's not what I mean. Rudy is sleeping and I don't think he will be in a mood to do anything."
"You never know. Spend a night with him and you will realise how the mood changes as per his will."
"I would appreciate it if you two can stop talking about this when I am present in the car. Let your man sleep in peace, for fuck's sake."
A few minutes passed by and they weren't even halfway to Elena's parents' home.
"Becca… if you want, you can wake him up now and teleport home. There is no point in you two coming along with us if you are going to teleport in the end anyway," Elena suggested in a low voice.
"It's fine. I am enjoying the ride. In the meantime, Rudy will have some rest."
Half an hour passed by and none of them spoke a word. Rebecca and Elena enjoyed the night view of the metropolitan city as they drove along the flyover.
"I love travelling at night for this very reason," Yelena muttered. "Less traffic and calm weather."
"Try travelling early in the morning, a few minutes before the sunrise. You will witness the beauty of this world, natural beauty."
"You know I am not a morning bird."
Rebecca tapped on Elena's shoulder, and Elena thought Rebecca did that to ask them to stop talking.
"Sorry, we will keep quiet."
"No, that's not it. I wanted to ask why you asked Rudy to bring me along on this date?" Rebecca asked curiously.
"Please don't call it a date," Yelena quipped.
"I just wanted to have a nice dinner with you," Elena replied.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"When was the last time we ate together at one table? It has been forever. I also wanted you to meet Yelena."
After driving for about an hour, they reached a luxurious area with massive houses and enormous buildings.
The car stopped near one building and they all got out except Rudy, who was still fast asleep.
Rebecca looked up and asked, "Your parents live in the penthouse?"
"Yup."
"They rarely come home, so this was the best choice for them," Yelena added.
"Makes sense." Rebecca nodded. "I was thinking they must be living in a villa."
"Well, the entire condo is owned by them. The surrounding ones, too. This area was not part of the city, so the land here was cheap. My parents bought the entire province and invested billions in it.
Keep in mind, that was also 35 years ago. A year before that, my father was disowned by his family and my mom was pregnant. They had nowhere to go. They started from nowhere."
"Yeah, Rudy told me about that. Your father's family was ready to pay your mother and her family millions of dollars to break up with him and abort the child. Your mother's family even agreed on that because they were getting free money, but your mother and your father chose to stay together."
"That's what I call real love," Yelena muttered and looked at Rudy in the car. "Unlike…"
"The land that was once the cheapest land that no one wanted to risk buying has now become the most expensive area in the city. They are ready to pay ridiculous amounts of money to own land here, but my parents don't want to lend their golden goose to anyone. If the money is in the right hands, it can do wonders."
"I think luck also plays an important role here," Rebecca remarked.
Elena shrugged her shoulders and said, "No comment on that."
"Sis…"
"Yeah." Elena placed her hand on Rebecca's shoulder and said, "I would love to call you in, but I don't think now is the right time. Maybe later, someday."
"Don't worry about it…" Rebecca took a moment to ponder and asked, "Wait, do you parents know anything about Rudy and… his powers…?"
"No."
"And… do they know he is your husband and the father of your children?"
"No." Elena shook her head. "It's been eighteen years, but they never asked me a single question about who I got hooked up with to get pregnant. They love Eric and Erika as much as they love Yelena."
"I see."
Rebecca woke Rudy up and asked him to teleport them back to their house. She had something else planned in her mind for that night, and she got the much needed a push from Elena.
After teleporting, she asked Rudy to wait for her in his room.
