Chapter 188: Jennifer's Anger.
"Yes." Lucifer nodded before taking another sip of his drink. "I have already decided on it. This is one of those moments when I would say, Love at first sight. Hahaha... And the size is perfect for my requirements too."
"Okay then, what next?" Jennifer asked as she shifted her position to get more comfortable on the couch. The soft cushions seemed to envelop her body as she snuggled into them.
"Hmmm… I will tell my secretary about this place. She will handle the rest of the process, including price negotiations. But I don't think there will be a problem with that because the owner is also eager to sell it." Lucifer explained his plans as he placed his glass on a side table. "Anyways, you should be prepared to move in here soon, Jennifer."
"Wait, what?" Jennifer was taken aback, unsure if she had heard him correctly. "You mean to say I will be living here too? Are you serious about that, or are you just teasing me? No, that is beside the point. I don't have any issues living here. But what about Shawn? He is still studying, and I have to take care of him too."
When she mentioned Shawn, Lucifer felt a slight twitch in his right eye. But he didn't let it bother him for long, and instead he looked in her eyes seriously as he replied. "I don't know if I should say this, but it's better that you hear it from me rather than from someone else. The thing is..."
Then Lucifer told Jennifer about his bizarre encounter with Shawn and his new girlfriend and how both of them wanted him to join their sexual pleasure. As he continued his explanation, Lucifer couldn't help but notice the change in Jennifer's expression. At first, she seemed shocked, but as he went on, her face turned red with anger.
"Oh my god! What the fuck? I can't believe he would do something like that. Are you sure you are not lying to me? But why would you even make up something like that? No, it must be true... Damn it!" Jennifer's voice gradually raised in volume, and by the end, she was shouting.
Jessica was also surprised by what Lucifer had said and how Jennifer reacted to the news. She was feeling a little uneasy due to Jennifer's anger, and she tried to calm her down. "Hey, Jennifer, please calm down. It's not good to be angry all the time."
"How can I be calm when my son turned out to be such a perverted jerk who wants other guys to fuck his girlfriend? Do you think it is fun to hear your son has become such a weirdo?"
Jennifer was angry, and she didn't hide it. Her words showed that she was not only furious but also deeply hurt by what Shawn had become.
"I have to talk to him and make him understand that what he is doing is wrong. He needs to understand the value of relationships and commitment, which are important for a healthy future. But damn it! I am so mad right now!"
"Yes, Jennifer, I understand. That's why you should calm down first and then talk with him. Otherwise, it will become an emotional fight instead of a good discussion." Jessica spoke in a soft tone, trying to comfort her. "It will only make your son get more stubborn if he feels cornered. So please take some time to calm down. Everything will be okay. And Lucifer will be there if you need any help, isn't that right, Lucifer?"
Lucifer was also feeling bad for her and nodded to let her know that she wasn't alone in dealing with this situation. But he had other thoughts about this matter too, and he wanted Jennifer to know what he felt about it.
"That would be the right thing to do, and I can understand your feelings on this matter. But I think that this is a decision your son has made, Jennifer. So it would be better if you let him make his own choices. You should not interfere with it. Just guide him and make sure he knows the right things. And even after that, if he still wants to follow that path, don't stop or force your opinions on him. That would only make him more likely to fight with you, as Jessica said. And in the worst case, there may even be a rift between you two," Lucifer spoke in a serious tone, making his point clear.
After hearing Lucifer's words, Jennifer's anger vanished, replaced by a feeling of defeat. She looked at him with sad eyes and then asked with a voice that sounded like she was about to cry. "Are you serious? You want me to let him continue doing whatever perverted shit they are into?"
"Hey, I know you are mad at Shawn now, but you should understand that it's his life and he has the right to choose what he wants to do. Besides, I am also a different kind of pervert who enjoys sex with multiple partners, and I don't see anything wrong with that. Moreover, I can manage my work, studies, and relationships pretty well, so it's not like I can't lead a normal life because of my sexual preferences. So, I think that if you want your son to have a happy and fulfilling life, it's better that you understand his point of view and try not to push your opinion onto him."
Lucifer spoke in a calm tone, hoping to ease Jennifer's worries. He wanted her to know that everything would be okay and that he was there for her.
Jessica also nodded at Lucifer's words as she thought he was right.
"But..." Jennifer wanted to argue more, but she couldn't find any words to say. So, she just looked down at the ground.
Seeing her like this, Lucifer moved closer to her and placed his arm around her shoulders, gently pulling her in for a hug.
"Hey Jennifer, just let your son be who he wants to be. I am sure when he gets bored or finds someone who touches his heart, he will come out of that phase on his own. All humans have a possessive side within them. Once he finds someone who really makes him feel that way, he won't be able to share her with others. And if that doesn't happen and he still enjoys going on that path, then we will think about that."
"Until then, I want you to keep a safe distance from him and his new girlfriend, making sure you are not affected by their weird sexual preferences. I am saying that because I can't tolerate the idea of having your beautiful body touched by anyone other than me. Do you understand that?"
After a brief pause, Jennifer nodded, giving in to Lucifer's words and comforting touches. "Yes. I will let him do what he wants and move in with you. But if something happens to him because of his choices, I will never forgive myself for this. So please take care of Shawn for me, Lucifer."
"Don't worry about that. I will be there for him if he faces any problems. Though I will also keep a little distance from him due to his preferences... Hahaha."
