My Fiancée Hates Me

Summer break was finally upon me. I packed my things from my dorm room and found that I had many presents from Garett. I packed them all anyways and returned home with mixed feelings.

At the gate, I saw my beautiful mother alive and healthy-looking waiting outside with a Maid who held a parasol over her head. She had an oddly stiff expression while wearing a frilly peach colored dress.

"Greetings, Mother," I said as I formally greeted her with a curtsy.

"Greetings, Arielle," she said as she returned my greeting.

My mother and I had gotten close in our first lives because of her illness. Without the illness, we never really had any chance to talk to one another.

I know that she actually loves me a lot under her cold demure from our first lives, but I am unsure if she feels the same way now.

"I am glad that you look well," I said with a smile on my face.

"...Arielle, there seems to be a leaf on your neck," Mother said as she approached me.

"A leaf? Where?" I asked as I turned my head.

"I will get it for you," Mother said as she wrapped her arms around me and brought me into a hug.

I felt all warm inside.

"Mother?"

"Welcome home, Arielle," Mother said in a quiet voice.

I did not even need to ask whether or not she still loved me. She had always loved me from the very start...as awkward as she was at showing affection.

"I am home," I said as I hugged her back.

I missed her so much after her death and now she is back in my arms.
