Chapter Volume 5, The Angel Falls 7: Shouldering Responsibility; Turning Around and Leaving (2/2)
After he said that, my heart became more settled. Curtis and Sadina were truly similar, but as expected, he was much gentler than Sadina. If it were Sadina, she would have said something along the lines of, “Daring to harm you? This old lady will obliterate their entire family from top to bottom, and even the guard dog won’t be able to escape.”
The conversation appeared to come to an end, but Curtis did not hang up. He seems to have something to say? I patiently waited for him to open his mouth. If I were to speak first, I might prevent him from wishing to speak.
“Family Head, may I ask you a question?” He finally opened his mouth and asked.
“Please speak.”
“I once asked Grandmother whether or not she loved Grandfather at all. However, she never answered and told me to ask you for your true reason for leaving the family back then.”
The true reason?
“She said that if you are to tell me the true reason, then I will convey to you her will. “ Curtis grudgingly said, “Even though Grandmother’s words are contradictory, as I do not know the true reason, so how will I distinguish the truth from a lie? But she said that I will be able to determine whether your words are true or not. If you tell me a lie, I will definitely not tell you what her will is.”
Sadina’s will? I hesitated and said, “The reason… there are many.”
“I am all ears.”
I was silent for a while, but I still could not hold back the need to know Sadina’s parting words. I honestly replied, “Sadina loved children, but a vampire’s fertility is low. Despite trying to hide it at thirty-five, she could not help but touch the wrinkles near her eyes while looking into the mirror. She had a bodyguard who had admired her for many years. I knew she also held affectionate feelings for the bodyguard. However, if I were there, those feelings would never blossom… That was why I left.”
However, I never thought that that bodyguard would only be able to accompany Sadina for twenty years before dying of a serious illness. Now, I did not know if my decision to leave back then was correct or not…
“I am happy. Thank you.”
I was stumped. Sadina?
Curtis said, “That was what Grandmother wanted me to tell you, and I too have received the answer I wanted. Was that bodyguard my grandfather?”
“Yes.”
“Thank you.”
“Um?” I was distracted a bit. Why did Curtis thank me?
Curtis smiled slightly and said, “I would not exist today if not for your concession back then. Is this not something I should thank you for? Well then, Family Head, rest assured, I will use all of my strength to ensure that the Church will not harm you in any way.”
“I will trouble you then. “ After I spoke, the call ended.
An imperfect decision… but it seemed it was not wrong. Thank goodness.
“Charles.”
I was surprised. I turned around and saw the young master. I quickly stood up and said, “Young Master, you have returned.”
As I was speaking, I saw the young master’s face clearly. Now, I was truly surprised. The young master’s face is actually filled with fury?
“Come!”
“To where?” I was shocked. Why is the young master angry?
The young master actually said, “To a nightclub, to flirt with girls, to… In short, to have lots of fun!”
“Y-Young Master?”
The young master took my hand and said, “Let’s go find Aren right now. Let’s go have fun together!”
After saying this, he rushed next door like a gust of wind. Without even knocking, he rushed in and startled Aren. After seeing that it was the young master, Aren seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but he was startled again after seeing me. He even rushed to the side and pulled out a book to cover up the book that he had originally been reading.
The young master walked over. His anger was gone and replaced by a curious expression. He even stretched out his hand to pull out Aren’s hidden book.
“What are you doing?! There’s nothing to look at!” Aren promptly grabbed the book back.
”I want to see!” The young master stubbornly grabbed the book.
They grabbed the edges of the book’s pages. The book appeared to be in danger of splitting in half at any moment.
Aren sneaked a glance at me through corner of his eye. I smiled at him. He finally let go in an embarrassed way and said, “Look all you want. It’s nothing… just the latest photobook that was released.” Although he said it was not much of anything, he avoided looking at me.
I felt a bit amused. He was not afraid of letting the young master see it. Yet, he was afraid to let me see it. Does Aren regard me as an elder?
“What is there to see?” The young master flipped a few pages. He knitted his brows and said, “All the girls are super skinny. They’re all bones. Hugging them sure won’t be comfortable!”
After hearing that, Aren rolled his eyes and snapped, “Please! Have you even seen how large and soft their breasts are?”
The young master answered loudly, “What’s the use if it is only the breast part that is soft? Don’t tell me you only hug the breasts when you hug a girl?”
Unwavering, Aren retorted, “When your Briar grows up, she might not even have large, soft breasts!”
Unexpectedly, the young master growled, “Don’t mention Briar!”
Aren froze and then looked at me. I shook my head to show that I did not know either.
“What’s up? Did you fight with Briar?” He shook his head and sighed. “Isn’t it embarrassing to fight with a thirteen year old girl?”
“I didn’t want to fight with her… It was Poseidynne who scolded me first and then Bri as well!”
“Why would they scold you?” Aren doubtfully asked, “Neither Bri nor Poseidynne would randomly scold you, right?”
The young master was silent for a moment and then quietly said, “It was because I went to Seaside to find Ding Ding, and later, both Poseidynne and Bri ended up there as well…”
Aren said, “Wow.” He tried to stifle his laughter as he said, “Got caught cheating in bed with another?”
“I wasn’t on a bed! We were just sitting together in front of a piano!” The young master shouted, “In the end, Poseidynne slapped me again. Briar also said that I was untrustworthy and that she would never care about me again!”
Aren scratched his head and said, “Forget about Poseidynne. But for Briar to be angry is a given! Didn’t you have Poseidynne get in line? Now, you’re even cozying up to other girls. Of course, she’d be worried that you might want others joining the queue again! Truthfully speaking, if my girlfriend were to tell me that a bunch of guys want to queue up to be her husband, I’d definitely divorce her! You’re lucky that Briar didn’t break up with you already.”
After listening to Aren’s words, the young master revealed a hesitant look and mumbled, “So it was my fault? But I’m really unhappy… Aren, let’s go out and have fun! Let’s g-go make out with hot girls!”
Aren’s eyes widened, and he yelled, “Hot girls? Where did you learn that term?”
“The people from the nightclub said it.” The young master grabbed Aren’s arm and dragged him up completely. He stubbornly said, “Let’s go and make out with hot girls!”
Aren rolled his eyes and shouted, “You lolicon! I can’t think of a place where I can take you to hang out with hot girls! Don’t tell me an elementary school? We’ll get arrested by the police!”
“The police won’t dare to arrest me!” The young master angrily said, “Let them try!”
After hearing that, Aren knitted his brows and said, “Ah Ye, you’re really weird.”
The young master became depressed. At this time, I made a signal with my eyes to Aren. He noticed it and said to the young master, “Okay, okay, I’ll go find hot girls with you, all right? I know a good place!”
“This is a shop men should go to!”
Standing in front of the shop, Aren finished saying this in high spirits. When he turned and saw me, he immediately hurried to ask in a frantic manner, “Ah! Charles-gē, are you heading in as well?”
“Do not mind me.” I smiled and said, “I have once helped my employer clean up a bed littered with adult products. Moreover, they were used!”
“…A butler’s job is sure an exhausting one.”
Aren dragged the young master in. I naturally followed inside. The shop was filled with anime and manga posters. The majority of the posters featured nude girls, both real and animated. The important points were that they all had well developed breasts, small waists, and plump buttocks.
Although this shop did not suit the young master, it was better than letting him actually go out and “make out with hot girls.” The young master’s personality was too serious. He would likely not understand the meaning of “only playing around.” If the other party wanted him to take responsibility, he would possibly actually nod his head.
“How’s this? This is a breast body pillow. Try touching it. It feels nice to touch!”
At Aren’s instigation, the young master stroked it a few times and knitted his brows. “How is this good to touch? Briar’s much softer, and she even smells fragrant…” After saying this, he suddenly stopped, and his expression tightened. It seemed that he was not happy that he had thought of Briar.
Aren hurriedly changed the topic. “How about this? A 3D breast back cushion! Leaning against this while doing your assignments will be very comfortable!
“Also, this row has the newest photo girl posters.
“Those are the latest inflatable babes… Ah, it’s best that you don’t look at those.”
Under Aren’s great effort in introduction, the young master reluctantly bought two posters and a 3D breast back cushion. Without much spirit, he then said he wanted to go home.
After hearing that, both Aren and I breathed a huge sigh of relief and hurried to take the young master home.
“This is so cute!”
The young master suddenly stopped in his tracks. Both eyes brightly looked at the roadside shop’s poster. The poster was of a… chubby baby. Cute wind chimes hung outside the store, and various cute posters were plastered outside. There were all sorts of small toys. It seemed like a shop that girls would like.
Aren was stunned and said, “You already evolved from a lolicon to a baby-loli?”
“I want to go in to take a look.”
The young master actually went into the shop after speaking, leading to a commotion. In that “men’s shop” from earlier, few people inside paid attention to the young master, but there were many girls in this shop, and they appeared to recognize the young master at first sight.
“Wait!” Aren was alarmed. “This shop is not some place that we should go in!”
However, the young master had gone in anyway. I hurried to follow him inside. Although Aren revealed a distressed expression, he also followed us inside.
“That one is so cute too!” The young master saw another poster that he liked. It was of a giggling young girl. He looked at the poster and naturally said, “Oh, but Briar is still cuter…”
He fell silent. Then, without a second word, he began playing around with the things in the shop. He was much happier than when he had been in the “shop where men should go.”
“An Xiang Ye, you girl!” Aren was angry to the point of almost spitting blood.
The young master did not mind Aren’s angry growl at all. Instead, he was even more like a little girl as he played around with all the small toys and continually said, “This is so cute!
“That is so fun!
“And this, and this…”
In the end, the young master bought ten posters of babies, eight posters of young girls, and five posters of little mice and little dogs. In addition to that, he bought three big dolls, four porcelain dolls, and two bobble head babies.
Aren was very uncomfortable because his towering, robust stature that reached over 190 cm caused all of the girls in the shop to look at him as if he were a pervert.
