I Confessed to the crosssdresser

Chapter 15

Leto's expression looked very grave. That was a bad sign. I got up too and followed after Leto as he left the room.

Erasing his pure smile, Leto made a grim expression and hurried down the stairs.

When I went down the dormitory, I could see the students' gaze was focused on one place.

In the middle, I saw a woman sitting down near the entrance on the first floor, drinking tea.

She was a beautiful middle-aged beauty with brown hair and yellow eyes, in contrast to Leto.

She looked around the noisy surroundings, frowned as she found Leto and lowered her teacup.

Leto and his mother's eyes met. Leto hardened like a wall as he looked at his mother.

His mother looked more sharp and fierce than she was described in the novel <How To Recognise A Murderer>.

She had a prominent face, but seemed strangely stoical and not easy to approach.

"It's been a while."

"M-Mother."

At Leto's words, she loosened her crossed legs and opened her mouth.

"I heard you met your father recently, didn't you? Your brother told me."

"......Yes."

Leto's voice was very small and cautious. I couldn't describe Leto's appearance, trembling with anxiety as if he had been pushed to the edge of a cliff.

It was as if Leto would automatically shrink whenever his mother said a word.

"You do know why I am here, don't you?"

His mother's words filled the quiet and still hallway.

Although the voice wasn't loud, there was a sharp arrow planted in it. There was only one reason that she would come to Leto directly.

It was because of the exam results. Leto also knew this and lowered his head even further.

"There's a lot of eyes here, so let's go out and talk."

Leto's mother got up first and went out the door. Unlike his mother, Leto didn't move as swiftly and suddenly glanced at me.

When his gaze met mine, I trembled unconsciously. While I struggled to say a word, Leto had already moved his feet.

He followed after his mother outside. The door slammed shut. In an instant, Leto's name was heard from all around me. But I couldn't do anything.

What was his gaze telling me just now? Was he begging for me to hold him?

Then why did I just stare at him and not do anything? When I came back to my senses, I went outside.

I looked around to find Leto and from a distance, I saw Leto and his mother.

However, their expressions were completely different from before.

"......!"

Leto's mother was staring at him as if she was going to kill him while Leto stood there like a sinner.

Without even having to get close, I could already tell what was going on between them. Leto, who was trembling with a blank face and his mouth shut, only nodded his head. Meanwhile, his mother obviously

looked like she was on the verge of slapping Leto on the cheek.

'What should I do?'

At this rate, Leto's face, which was full of laughter just now, would be covered in tears again. I'd be lucky if it was just that.

"Your father was right. You really are useless."

Even though his mother's words weren't directed at me, my heart ached.

"Even after we paid such a large sum of money to send you to the academy, you still couldn't be the top student. In this case, do you deserve to be a part of the Arsene family?"

"......."

"Say something."

"I......"

Leto became silent. The silence made his mother even furious.

It was my first time witnessing such a terrifying silence.

In the end, his mother snapped impatiently. At his mother's cruel words, Leto lifted his head and shook.

"I...I will work hard."

"How can I believe you?"

"......I will do well in the future. I'll be the top student. My grades will not drop on the next exam."

Leto said pitifully. Seeing his face like that would have soothed my anger, but strangely, his mother became furious.

She made a disgusted expression as if she didn't even want to look at Leto's face. I was afraid that his mother would continue to spit out hurtful things to Leto again.
