Reborn in modern family with cheats

Harry pov

I was wondering, why the passive abilities that I buy for my mother don't do anything ? It's been a few days and she doesn't look any different. Did I get scammed by the system ? But everythings seems to be working just fine, including my own passive abilities. While I was deep in my thoughts, my mother called my name a few times. When she didn't hear any kind of response from me, she began to search for me around the house, and finally, she woke me up from my deep thoughts by grabbing my shoulder and shaking me a bit. 

"What ? Mom ? What happened ?" I asked her.

"Harry, are you okay ? I called you several times and you didn't give any response. You only wake up after I start shaking your body a bit."

"Sorry mom,there is something on my mind that's bothering me, that's why I didn't hear you." I said truthfully.

"What's bothering you son ? Do you want to talk about it with me ?" My mother asked me.

"No, I'm gonna be fine, and why are you calling me ? Is Haley lazy with her homework again ?" I asked my mother.

"No, Haley is fine, I need to talk to you about our new house, do you have any request ?"

"No, not really, I only need a bedroom with a bathroom inside it, and a private working room, just some music room with a bathroom inside and a table with a pc for me to work, a few pieces of furniture for me to keep my book and manuscript maybe ?"

"Really ? only that ? you don't need some more stuff ?"

"Hmmm , let me think for a while… maybe a refrigerator and ac ? and an air purifier would be nice." I said honestly.

"Well if that's what you need, you don't need a private garage ? a pool ? or some gaming room ? I thought a kid will have a lot more requests to make…"

"To be honest I don't really have such a request, I only ask what I want after all." I just smiled helplessly after hearing my mother comment.

"Alright then , I will put down your request to the architect." my mother said to me.

"Yeah , thank you mom, I love you."

"Love you too sweetheart."

After talking with my mother and eating dinner with my family, I spent some time with Alex and Haley.

"Haley you need to fix this, try to recalculate it with this new way I write for you, believe me it's easier and will make you understand the concept faster. Alex sweetie you did a nice job with this, just a few corrections on the grammar and it's perfect. Good job baby."

I'm tutoring both Haley and Alex, well Alex is learning stuff above her grade, and Haley just needs a little push to make her a good student.

"Ughhh this is the last one, after this I want to rest and relax for the day." Haley said, as she doesn't like studying.

"Sure Twinnie"

"I want to learn more~" Alex said her wish.

"No, you need to rest too, remember that a balance between work and rest is needed." I said to her while ruffling her hair.

"Wait, why did you tell Alex to rest, but not to me ?" Haley asked me.

"Really ? Do you want the truth ?" I said as I'm looking at her. And when Haley stays silent I continue to speak. "Because you always ask for rest or break before I need to tell you to."

Haley looked at me with an offended eyes, but I just went near her and hugged her softly and pats her back gently , it always calms her down before she's getting angry. Then I released the hug. 

"Wait , why do I act like I'm Haley's father ? should I call dad to hug you Haley ?" 

"No, your hugs are better than dad, so come back and hug me again." Haley asks for more hugs.

Unfortunately, when Haley said that, dad walked in and heard everythings. Before Haley and I can say anything, he just looks at Haley, then at me, and then goes back I don't know where.

"DAD WAITTT" Haley screamed and called dad but he simply ignored her.

"Alright , we need to go and apologize to him." I said to Haley.

"Yeah , that's a good idea." 

"And that's why I always watch what I say." Alex just smiles seeing Haley make a mistake.

Haley pov

Alright , I know I made a mistake, I shouldn't have said that, even if dad does not walk in or even dad does not hear it, it can cause a misunderstanding. I love my dad and mom, even if sometimes they are a bit much, but I still love them, I know they care about me.

Even when I thought they hate me, or regret having a child like me. Harry always explains it clearly to me that our parents do that or saying that because they care about us, they just don't want us to make a mistake or fall into danger. 

Harry told me even if sometimes our parents are a bit much. Like doubtful about us. It's because they worried too much about us. They are like a tiger protecting their cubs. Even if sometimes it was nothing and they are wrong. They would rather be wrong than seeing us fall into danger or make a big mistake with our life. 

He said it was their instinct to protect us. That's why Sometimes He intimidates a guy that seems too close to me. I know Harry cares a lot about me, well about our family. Not only me but Alex and Luke as well. He stops Luke from doing dumb things all the time.

I regret the fact that I'm saying that out loud. It's true that I love Harry hugs more than dads but it was nothing sexual, we are twins, we have been together since we were babies. The time we are hugging and cuddling together is countless. For me cuddling with my twin when watching a movie is the same as me cuddling with my mother or father. 

Harry is walking with me. We are searching for dad inside the house but we can't find him. After Harry suggested that I go to our parents' bedroom to search for him, I felt nervous. As Harry knocked on the door. I felt my heart beating faster and faster. The guilty feeling is killing me.

When I see my mother opening the door. I felt glad but then, before I could speak. Harry already started to speak.

"Mom, is dad here ? Haley and I would like to apologize to him." 

"Yeah mom, is dad here ?" I'm just following Harry at this point. I was feeling so nervous. I don't know what I should say to dad.

"Yes he is inside… and Harry you can come with mommy, let Haley speak alone with your father." Is my mom trying to make me speak alone with dad ? I was looking at Harry with an expression please don't abandon me, I need help here, Harry. But against my own wish, Harry just goes along with mom downstairs leaving me alone in front of the door.

I don't know what my mother wants to talk about, but I guess she just wants Haley to speak alone with my father. I know Haley is feeling so nervous right now. I can feel it in her voice. I want to help her apologize to dad, but I also agree with my mother's decision. By making me away from Haley, she will learn to solve her problem alone. After all she did say something she shouldn't. I would even be angry if my daughter said something like that to me in the future. 

When I was thinking alone. My mother already sat on the sofa. I just sat next to her and before I said anything she was already cuddling me. She hugged me tightly and I just let her do it.

"Mommy ? Why did you suddenly hug me ?" I asked my mother.

"I just wanna hug you baby. I miss the time when i'm cuddling with you while we were watching TV together. I can't even remember what we watch because I'm just focusing on you. Watching my own son slowly grow up and becoming someone more and more outstanding is a pride for me as a mother. I feel like I'm doing something right. Every mother will feel envious of me if only they know. How outstanding my son really is. At the same time. I'm feeling a bit lost because you grew up so fast… and I don't feel like I'm doing a lot to you when you're growing up. You're just 8 years old but sometimes I feel like you're already an adult. That's why I want to cuddle with you a lot. Hugging you a lot when I still can. Before you're completely grown up. I want to hug you as much as I can." my mother said it slowly and softly. I can feel she's feeling melancholy right now.

"I won't go anywhere mom, and you can continue to hug me whenever you want. Even if I have already grown up in the future. It won't change the fact that I'm your son and you're my mother." I said gently as I can feel she's patting my hair softly.

"Yes, but it's gonna feel different… cuddling with you. When you're a kid and when you're already an adult are very different things. I still remember sleeping together when you're a baby. You are being bundled with a small blanket like a taco, and I'm sleeping beside you while checking on you every few hours. It sound like a torture… but I'm happy doing that, checking my own son. Making sure my son is alright. That feels so fulfilling. Maybe that is one of the best feelings as a mother." my mother explained slowly while playing with my hair. I can feel her fingers on my head, I guess she just misses spending time together with me.

"So it's not just because you want Haley to solve her own mistake without my help ?"

"Well I can have both right ? making my daughter learn and spending time with my son at the same time is not wrong. Get two for the price of one" she said to me.

"Yes mom, you're right. Maybe this is why I'm a genius. And you do know I have been hearing a few things from grandpa right ? If in the future I have several girlfriends, the genes do come from you."

"Wait.. what ?" 

"I know myself. I don't like alcohol. So the one thing that's gonna be my poison is a woman, or you want me to choose a man and be like uncle Mitch ?" I'm joking around.

"Oh god no, I'd rather you have several wives than that." she said desperately.

"Relax mom, I'm just joking around" I said while laughing happily.

Haley pov

I try to be brave and go inside the room, where I see my dad watching something on the tv.

"Dad ? I'm sorry. I should have not spoken like that even if it's only a joke." I said with a soft voice.

"It's okay Haley" dad just said that flatly. Now I know he is truly mad at me.

"Dad, please forgive me. I love you, I love your hugs too. I'm sorry… " I said to my father softly while walking closer to him.

"Yes, Haley, I forgive you" he still said it flatly.

"I know I'm wrong dad, please forgive me… I love you so much" I said while hugging him tightly.

"Alright, sweetie, I forgive you.. I love you too" my dad says while hugging me back.

"Thank you for everything dad. You're the best dad ever." I said to my father.

"Alright, stop your sweet words and just think a bit before you say something. Sometimes words do hurt more than swords. remember this A careless tongue can be more dangerous than a sword." 

"Yes dad, I will do that. Then I will go back to my own room dad, goodnight." 

"Night sweetie." my father simply said as I went back to my own room.
