Chapter 14 - Mystical Words (1/2)
Five days later...
At Jeremy's house.
*knock* *knock* *knock*
'Sigh... Finally, the last group of people that I have to baptize huh.' Jeremy let out a sigh of tiredness and thought inwardly to himself. Currently, he was sitting on a sofa in the living room while watching some animes like always.
”Come in; the door is not locked.”
Jeremy said lightly into the air.
Unsurprisingly, the four people in front of the door had heard his voice clearly due to Jeremy's mana utilization techniques.
Everyone except for one person got a bit startled by the sudden voice besides their ears.
However, they did not think much about it because there might be a voice intercom doorbell somewhere nearby them.
But they had no time to look around. Right now, the only person who was not startled by the sudden voice was currently opening the door into the house.
*Creaks*
Sounds of the door being pushed open resounding out.
Afterward, Charlotte came into the house after receiving Jeremy's permission with her father, mother, and aunt.
Right... the four people were Charlotte and her family members.
Charlotte's father, who was walking right behind his daughter, was a man with an average height of around 165 cm, with somewhat broad shoulders. His weight was about 80 kilograms. That made him look a bit stout, almost fleshy. As for his age, he was somewhere around his mid-forties. He also had blonde, grey hair color and blue eyes like Charlotte.
Beside him was his wife, Charlotte's mother. Her height was 170 cm, her age was around 40, with a somewhat curvaceous and light body.
Her hair is shiny blonde in color, her eyes were green, together with her dainty and beautiful nose, and glossy pink lips had made her a moderately charming adult.
With everything in the right place, she was considered a perfect mold of a wife material.
Behind them was another woman; she looked somewhat similar to Charlotte's mother. But considering that her elegance and beauty were many tiers above that, she must have inherited only the good genes from her parents.
At first sight, she had a shapely figure with a wasp-waist like an hourglass. She looked like someone not older than 35 years of age. Jointly with her glossy bright skin and her hot figure in her prime year of life made her one of the most attractive beauties out there.
If someone looked at her more carefully, on her visage, there were slender eyebrows that seemed so attractive aligning perfectly with her charming and alluring bottle-green eyes, which would be able to drown in the eyes of every onlooker.
Her eyelashes were velvety. She had a dainty nose, glossy full red lips as well as shiny and halo-white teeth that could cause most lustful men to desire to lavishly kiss and taste them.
...
...
Right after coming into the house...
They walked side by side until they reached the living room and spotted Jeremy, who was sitting there.
Meanwhile, the faces of Charlotte's father, mother, and aunt were clearly expressing their dissatisfaction to quite a degree.
It was like, they were forced here by Charlotte for some unknown reason.
In fact, there were two batches of people that Charlotte had brought to Jeremy's house before them.
The first batch consisted of Charlotte's two besties, and the second batch included her grandfather (father's father) and grandmother (father's mother).
That would make up to only seven people that Charlotte chooses for the future knowledge about tutorials and Ortus.
It was not that she didn't want to bring more people, but it was because her father didn't have any siblings. Also, her mother only had one younger sister, Suzan. As for her mother's parents, they had already passed away several years ago.
For the headcounts, Owen also surprisingly brought in only seven people. Albeit, Jeremy gave them a quota of 10 people.
He had his own reasons, though. Those were enough for him with his one parent, two siblings, two relatives, and two grandparents.
Now, come back to the current situations...
When everyone came into the living room, Jeremy turned to face them and stood up from the sofa.
”Good evening, uncle Frank, aunt Emma, and aunt Suzan. It's been more than a year since we last met. How are you guys doing?”
Jeremy nodded to Charlotte and greeted Frank and Emma warmly. Meanwhile, this was the first time he met with Suzan.
After seeing that, Jeremy, aka the one who had invited them into his house, had greeted them warmly.
The three adults decided to go along with the flows with some chit-chats first before diving into the main topic.
”It's been quite good for me. A week ago, I had just closed an important deal with a bigshot client. And it seems like everything will be going well for the near future too.”
Uncle Frank smiled warmly to Jeremy.
Actually, Jeremy had been to their 'big house' quite often. He would always be welcome at their house, whether it be to eat dinners, tutor Charlotte, or throw a party. That's why they were pretty close with him.
”I'm good little Jerem. You know, our little sweetie, and we miss you so much. It's been a very, very longgggg time since you last visited us. It would be best if you had gone to our home more often. I really want you to taste my new menus from our restaurant. Oh... I almost forget to ask, how are you? Do you feel bett... Oops.”
