Chapter 20：Icebreaker (1/2)
20 minutes later...
Inside Jeremy's house.
Everyone was exchanging some words together for the reason that they had the same fate. Also, they would be working in Jeremy's 'organization' soon.
So, it was better to know each other more.
As a result, everyone was currently standing in groups of 3 or 4 people while talking and expressing their opinions with one another.
”I see... So, your name is George, Owen's youngest brother and you are Matthew, the middle child. My name is Charlotte Rosenburg, you can just called me Charlotte.”
”...”
”...”
George and Matthew who were in front of Charlotte nodded their heads in understanding.
For their ages and appearance, George looked to be around 13 years old with a skinhead, moderate height compared to someone his age, and he looked quite adorable at first glance. As for Matthew, he was 15 years old, a normal teenager that you can find along the street.
'Whatsoever, they looked different from the muted Owen.' Charlotte thought to herself.
”Let me introduce those people to you. Here... you guys look over there, the short old guy with white hair who is talking to your grandpa and grandma is my grandpa, Sebastian. He is my father's father.”
”...”
”...”
The kids nodded their heads in acknowledgement.
After that, Charlotte pointed her index finger to another group of people whom were also talking to one another like her grandpa's group. She pointed them out one by one.
”You see that beautiful woman with blonde hair and hourglass body? She is my aunt, Suzan Howell. As for the kind old woman with white hair standing beside my aunt who is talking to your mom and aunt, she is my grandma, Penelope, my father's mother.”
”...”
”...”
The 2 kids nodded their heads once again.
Seeing that, Charlotte pointed at a group of 3 people at the corner of the living room and continued.
”...”
”...”
The kids then took a quick look at the short couples whom were talking to their uncle, Bob.
”And the group at that corner, the fiddled man's name is Samuel, he is trying to flirt my 2 besties. The woman on the left is Grace, and on the right is Amelia.”
”...”
”...”
Afterwards, the kids scrutinized Samuel carefully because they had heard about Sam from their brother, Owen quite often. Then they took a look briefly at the blonde haired Grace and the red haired Amelia.
Then the 2 kids nodded their heads like the previous times.
But their response this time was a mistake...
From earlier reactions of the kids, they caused Charlotte to be unable to take it in anymore.
She bad been the only one talking for quite a while now. Meanwhile, the kids only nodded at every words and questions of hers without saying or asking anything back at all.
Those were not natural reactions...
”Why don't you say anything or ask any question, kids? You only nodded your heads for a while now.” She asked questioningly at the 2 kids whom were standing in front of her.
”...”
”...”
Seeing the demanding stare from Charlotte, the kids had nowhere out.
Then George and Matthew looked at one another's eyes for a brief moment before they came into an agreement that Matthew would be the one who clarified Charlotte's doubt.
”It's because Owen told us to not talk or ask back at you.” The older brother, Matthew answered truthfully to Charlotte.
”What!? Why? What else did he tell you about me?” With a deep frown, Charlotte inquired further.
”He told us that you are a bigmouthed monster. So, it's better that we keep our thoughts to ourselves while talking to you. Or else, we will get absorbed into an eternal endless loop.”
Hearing those statements from the Matthew, Charlotte's eyes widened in astonishment, then her cheeks and eyes twitched continuously.
”...”
”...”
”O...WENNNNNNN!! Why. Did. You. Tell. The. Kids. Like. THAT!??”
With a darkened face and pouted lips, Charlotte shouted at the direction of the sofas where Jeremy and Owen were sitting on while watching a top box office movie.
When Owen who was engrossing in the intro of the movie had heard Charlotte's voice, his body suddenly stiffened up.
'What happens...?'
