Transmigrated: I Became My Nemesis's Woman novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126: Your mother?

Meanwhile, inside Daffodil Academy, Leo was hardly paying attention in class.

Even though the teacher continued explaining the lesson at the front, his thoughts remained elsewhere entirely.

Ever since Theo unexpectedly showed up near the restricted area with those older boys, something about the situation had continued bothering him.

Those boys clearly didn’t look like students.

And the way Theo acted around them felt strange too.

"Leo?"

Mia’s voice suddenly pulled him out of his thoughts.

"Are your parents coming to the annual function?" she asked curiously.

But Leo didn’t respond immediately.

His eyes remained fixed on his notebook while his thoughts drifted away once again.

Mia and John immediately exchanged worried looks.

It wasn’t until John lightly shook Leo’s shoulder that he finally snapped back to reality.

"Huh?"

Leo blinked several times before looking at them in confusion.

Both of his friends stared at him suspiciously.

"I’ve been noticing you all morning," Mia admitted honestly. "You’ve been distracted since class started."

John quickly nodded.

"Even during math class," he added. "Teacher Maria called your name twice before you answered."

That alone was unusual.

Leo normally loved answering math questions. Half the time, he solved problems before the teacher even finished asking them.

But today?

He looked completely absent-minded.

"Is everything alright?" John asked carefully before lowering his voice. "Is Nate bothering you again?"

Even though Nate had been acting strangely polite recently, neither John nor Mia fully trusted him yet.

After all, he had caused Leo enough trouble before.

Both of them quietly waited for Leo’s answer.

But instead of replying seriously—

Leo suddenly burst into laughter.

Both Mia and John jumped slightly in surprise.

John slowly leaned toward Mia and whispered dramatically,

"Something is definitely wrong with him. He never laughs randomly like this."

Mia nodded immediately while staring at Leo suspiciously.

Meanwhile, Leo finally calmed down and shook his head helplessly.

"You’re both worrying for no reason," he said.

"Then why are you acting weird?" Mia asked immediately.

Leo quickly searched for an excuse.

"I was just thinking about the annual function skit," he answered casually. "I know I’ll remember my lines, but I’m still nervous."

John narrowed his eyes.

"You?"

"Yes."

"The Leo Emerson I know doesn’t get nervous."

Leo ignored him completely and continued speaking.

"My mother is going to watch the performance too."

The moment those words left his mouth, both Mia and John froze.

Then slowly, they turned toward each other in shock.

"...Your mother?" John repeated carefully.

Mia’s eyes widened slightly.

Now they were absolutely sure something was strange.

Leo instantly noticed their expressions.

"What?" he asked defensively.

John blinked.

"Leo... since when do you have a mother?" he asked out of pure curiosity.

Mia immediately elbowed him.

"John!"

She shot him a warning glare, making him quickly purse his lips.

Meanwhile, Mia turned back toward Leo more carefully.

"Leo... what are you talking about?" she asked gently.

Leo smiled slightly.

He knew his friends were confused.

Everyone at school believed he only had Xander as his father. Nobody really knew anything about his mother.

Even Leo himself had never openly talked about it before.

"You heard me right," he said quietly. "My mother is coming to the annual function."

His face unconsciously brightened at the thought of Ivy.

"She even said she’d cheer for me."

Mia instantly became curious.

"Now I want to meet her too," she admitted honestly.

John immediately nodded.

"I’m sure she’s really pretty too."
