131 Family Gathering 4 (2/2)

”Alone?” Lucius caught on to the missing information.

”With me and Helena,” Shelly confessed under the stiff pressure.

Well that guilty pleasure was now gone. It was an open secret anyways as Luke was stricter on the days I binged on desserts in the middle of the night. Even Alex knew from Shelly's frequent outings with me.

”I should do that someday as well,” Yulee patted me on the back.

”And that's really it!” I tried to look as convincing as possible.

This fraction was really tiresome. It was clear the neutral fraction was the best as they didn't have to do anything. I was really going to talk to Ben somehow to get him to let me join his fraction.

”The biggest thing I can think about right now is how I destroyed a part of the high school buildings to go on that mission with Jules.” I revealed to them.

Alex instantly face palmed as he recalled how he helped in repairing those walls. Luke grimaced at the news while Jules just seemed apologetic. Belle sighed as she refilled the empty teacups with more tea.

It was such a waste that none of the plentiful desserts were touched on the glass table. They were so busy with the tiny details that they couldn't appreciate the small things beside them. I grabbed a cookie from the table since I didn't have breakfast. I preferred to have a slice of toast, but I had to make do with what was in front of me.

”Leave those biscuits since we're going to have breakfast soon,” Luke reprimanded me.

Of course, those desserts were a form of decoration as usual while the tea was free to drink. It was such a waste of those perfectly delicious desserts. I couldn't understand that part of the first district to this day.

I obeyed Luke not wanting to start another fight with him when he had a load of supporters. I placed the cookie back onto its plate as I hoped the meeting would soon end. In fact, this meeting would go faster if I called Ben here.

He was the one who made me create that unintentional tornado in the first place. And it was a fact that most of the 'mistakes' that they didn't know about happened when I was with Ben. I was definitely going to use this against him to exit this stingy fraction.

I was glad I asked for his phone number when I first met him. I pulled out my marble and punched in his number. I had never called him before so I didn't know if the call would go through. Thankfully, Ben picked up the call at its first ring.

”What did you do this time?” Ben appeared to be in his dorm room.
