A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 161: A Theft?

Renn was taken aback when he saw her. She looked far too young to be Angel's mother, almost as if thad

barely touched her. Tonight, Miss Grace wore a long black gown that clung to her curves, her glossy black hair

tied neatly in a ponytail. A touch of makeup made her look even more striking, her beauty enough to hold his

gaze longer than he intended.

"Who would have thought I'd see you here?" she said with a teasing smile, one hand resting on her waist while

the other played with a strand of hair. "Where are you going? What brings you to my town?"

"You look good, ma," Renn replied, forcing a polite smile while carefully dodging her question. He had no

intention of telling her they cbecause of Angela. He wasn’t sure if she even knew anything yet. "Where are

you heading to?" he asked instead.

"I only stepped out to buy sgroceries, then | saw you here. What a surprise," Grace said, her eyes flickering

toward the car parked behind him. There was no mistaking the way she admired it. Smiling softly, she asked, "Is

my boy with you?"

For a second, Renn almost asked who she meant, until it struck him—she was talking about Angela. He quickly

shook his head and tried to keep his expression calm. He wanted to end this meeting before it got more

complicated, but just as he was about to excuse himself, Kaito cout of the car.

He leaned close to Renn and whispered, "Seriously? A woman? You want to do this now?"

"N-no... it’s not what you think," Renn muttered back, but he couldn't explain further because Grace's voice cut

through again.

"Thank goodness he is not with you," she said, placing a hand on her chest in relief. Her face carried a fear she

could not hide. The thought of her brother finding Angela here terrified her. If her daughter was in that car, she

knew he would never let them leave this town again.

"You don’t want to see your son?" Renn asked, startled by the way her voice trembled and by the look in her

eyes.

Grace opened her mouth to speak but stopped when her eyes fell on the handsyoung man standing now

beside Renn.

For a moment she forgot her words. He must be the one driving the car, yet he looked nothing like an ordinary

driver. Her lips parted slightly as she studied him. If the boys in that academy were this handsand wealthy,

then it was only a matter of tbefore her daughter found herself tied to one of them...if she hadn't already.

"Who is she?" Kaito asked suddenly, his tone sharp. He could not understand why Renn would waste there

with a woman when Kael was unwell and waiting for them.

"Angela's mother," Grace answered quickly, stretching her hand toward him, her smile soft and deliberate.

Kaito’s brows drew together in surprise. Of all the people they could have run into tonight, she was the last one

he expected. He had thought Renn cout to meet swoman he liked, not Angela's mother. Still, he

reached out politely. "Nice to meet you," he said.

Their hands met briefly before she pulled away and, without hesitation, asked, "Did Angel send you with any

message for me?"

Kaito was caught off guard. He knew enough about Angela to understand that her bond with her mother was not

a warm one, but he pretended not to know too much. "We didn’t tell her we were coming here," he replied

carefully.

Grace rolled her eyes at his answer. "What kind of boyfriend are you, red-haired boy?" she teased, her voice

laced with mock reproach. She had already paired them together in her mind, and the quick smile that crossed

Renn’s lips only confirmed it. She could tell he liked the thought, and it made her heart tighten with hope. If only

Angela would stop being stubborn and do the right thing, she could secure a guy like him, someone rich and

promising.

"If you had told her you were coming," Grace added softly, "I'm sure my boy would have sent a message."

Kaito rolled his eyes when Grace

"Honestly, we didn’t know we would end up here," Renn said, forcing a sad expression as he looked at her. Deep

inside he wondered if she was only pretending or if she truly cared that Angela had not sent her any greetings.

"Your daughter owes you?" Kaito asked, tilting his head, his hands resting inside his pockets. His eyes shifted

toward the car, making sure nothing was wrong, but his voice was steady. "Sorry, Miss Grace, | don’t mean to

intrude, but what do you mean by that?"

"Yes, please explain to us if you don’t mind," Renn added, giving her a nod, though his chest tightened at her

words.

Grace's face lit up as if fortune had finally smiled on her. She had not expected her day to end this well. These

two young men looked like her chance to get something back, and she could not let it slip away. Her voice grew

more eager as she spoke.
