15 Chapter 15- Angelica Branagh (1/2)

”Mom, I'm home!” Romnick entered as he gestured Jack and Arvin to go inside.

”Araaa, you earlier today.” A young woman with long chestnut hair, oval face, and a gentle smile appeared in front of them. Couple with her green eyes, she seems like a big sister to Romnick, not a mother they imagine to be.

Romnick shrugged his shoulder as he expected their reaction. ”Don't be fooled by her appearance, you may see her as a young girl bu...”

”Arara, my boy, what are talking about?” The woman revealed a sweet smile as she questions her son.

Beans of sweat appeared on his forehead. ”Nothing.”

”Well anyway, why don't lead your friends to the living room while I prepare for our food?” The woman said with a smile.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the dining table, Romnick, Jack, and Arvin sat on their own as they discussed the incident earlier.

”Romnick, you deserved to be called one of the sons of a billionaire.” Arvin adjusted his glasses as he said this in a sarcastic tone.

Romnick scratches his cheek in embarrassment, in the first place Arvin already knew his status, so that only leave Jack not knowing anything about him. Well, less than a month pass when they got to know each other, so it understandable that Jack knew a little about him.

”Why are your words give a feeling that I was a secretive friend?” Romnick glared at Arvin while the latter shrugged his shoulder.

”Well, Jack, what do you think?” Romnick asks with a grin.

”It's okay;” Jack said lightly.

”Eh, so Jack did you know someone has mansion as big as this?” Arvin asked while Romnick looks at Jack curiously. Coming to this big house while acting naturally, one could tell that Jack already entered a mansion as big as this. When Jack heard their question, he was sneering inside as he knew that they are boasting about Romnick wealth.

They didn't know that Jack lives in a mansion with more than 500 meters of land. ”Yeah.” He responded vaguely.

Romnick didn't dwell on the matter as he knew that wealth only purpose is to make life better. As for Arvin, a bitter smile appeared on his face. ”Well, I am expecting an awed expression to your face, but met with a disinterest respond.”

”Aha, don't fuss it, when Arvin first came here. His eyes sparkled with delight and surprised that I can afford to live in a place this if you saw him that day, you will surely laugh when you saw his dumb expression.”

'Am I the only one ordinary here?' Arvin thought awkwardly.

”Anyway, can you guys keep it?” Romnick said with worry. His mother will surely hire someone to investigate the incident happen earlier, so to not make it any bigger he decided to hide what happens to his mother.

”So, what are you guys talking about?” Romnick mother appeared with a smile on her face.

Taking her sit, Angelica Branagh looks at the three with amuse expression.”So what are you keeping from your mother, son?”

”N...Nothing.” Romnick was flustered and said in a panic.

”Romnick asks us to keep something regarding about our exam;” Jack answered to save Romnick from his predicament.

”Ehe, so why are panicking, son?” Angelica asks with a smile.

”He seems to be afraid of you knowing that he forget about the exam, so he wants to keep it from you;” Jack Kick Romnick under the table to respond.

Romnick gave a thumbs up and followed. ” Sorry Mom, I forget something that you taught me.”

Looking at her son lowering his head, a gentle smile surface from her face.”Only that? That's fine, son, you don't have to be a shame. It was normal for a kid like you to play, so make sure to remember your study next time or else you know what will happen.” Angelica smilingly said.

”Romnick, your mom always smiled but why do I feel a chill when I saw your mom like that?” Arvin whispered.

”Shut up, don't make it worse.” Romnick kick Arvin in his foot that made him wrench in pain.

”Madam. the food is ready.” A middle-aged maid appeared in front of them as she put the foods on the table.

”Boys, let's eat first;” Angelica said, unlike the Asian food, she preferred to eat western food.
