[Present Time]"So that"s what happened," Zedrick said with a smile, then he looks at Nathalia. "But aren"t you supposed to get angry at him? Why are you smiling like an idiot instead?" He still remembers the time that Nathalia suddenly told him that she wants to save her first kiss. Now that her first kiss is gone, he expected her to be a little bit angry.
"That"s a stupid question." Zen suddenly said as he teasingly smiles at Nathalia. This childhood friend of his is so easy to read. He almost feels sad that Aaron is so dense. "Can"t you see that she likes it."
Feeling exhausted, Zedrick put a hand to cover his face and said, "You shouldn"t be feeling happy about that, Nathalia."
"She"s like that because she"s stupid." A voice from behind them was suddenly heard, and the owner of the voice is Josh.
Josh came all the way here because Zen called him that there was an emergency. Not asking what was the emergency, Josh hurriedly made his way. When he arrived he overheard that conversation the Zen and the rest are talking about.
He almost tripped when he discovered that Aaron stole Nathalia"s first. What really shocked him the most is that Nathalia is happy about it instead of getting angry. "Just because you like him, you shouldn"t let him get away with just like that." He added.
Nathalia looks at Zen and frowns at him. "You called him over?" She asked. It"s not like she"s angry at Josh or anything like that it is just she doesn"t want to hear Josh nagging at her. Everything that he says to her is the truth.
Even now, he has a little bit of information on what really happened, but he is already starting off at a good start. On top of that, everything that he is saying is. .h.i.tting her on the right spot.
"Why wouldn"t I call him over? He"s the right guy for the job, on scolding you, I mean." When Zen saw the smile on Nathalia"s face, his mouth twitched in annoyance. He wanted to scold Nathalia, but he is not really good at it, and Nathalia wouldn"t even listen to him.
The only person he knows who is really good at making Nathalia listen is Josh. With just a phone call and making himself sound like there is an actual emergency, Zen can make Josh come without even telling the whole situation is.
"If you don"t want me to be here, would you rather have Zen call uncle Leo instead?" Josh asked. Knowing Zen, Zen probably has two choices before calling someone, it"s either him or Nathalia"s father. But in the end, Zen called him.
If he had only asked what was the emergency, Josh wouldn"t even bother coming over because he doesn"t want to deal with Nathalia and Aaron"s stupidness. Since he is already here, Nathalia should be readying herself now because he is going to be harsh from here on out.
"No! I wouldn"t want my father to know about this. Who knows what will he do Aaron once he knows about it." Just the thought about her father"s angry face is already sending s.h.i.+vers down to her very spine.
Hearing that from Josh, Nathalia is thankful that Zen did not decide on calling her father. In a similar situation like this, it"s better for her father not to get involved. He is just too overprotective of her, and her mother can"t do anything about it.
"Josh, it"s good to see you again. The air around you is quite different from the last time I saw you." Zedrick said. The last time he saw him, Josh still have this cold expression, but right now, despite that cold expression, Josh has still happy feeling air around him.
"Oh! You noticed?" Zen asked with a smile.
"Well, I"m a good observer, it"s not that hard to not see the change in him. Did something happened while I was away?"
Just listening to their conversation, Josh frowns at them. He got the feeling that he would like where their conversation is going at.
"Yeah! Josh got himself a girlfriend. The people in this room haven"t seen her yet, Josh wouldn"t allow us to meet her. He"s such a selfish jerk if you ask me." Whenever he sees a chance, Zen always asks Josh if he could meet that mysterious girlfriend. But his effort was wasted. Josh would just ignore him or talk about something else.
"I see," Zedrick revealed a teasing smile. He is not starting to get curious about Josh"s girlfriend. The girl who manages to make a guy like Josh fall for her is something else. He wants to meet her. But after hearing that Josh hasn"t let his childhood friends meet the girl, Zedrick is guessing that he won"t be able to. "I guess I have to wait, huh?" Zedrick inwardly said.
"Don"t change the subject. I"m pretty sure that I"m here to talk some senses on Nathalia." Josh said with a frown. From the moment he stepped foot in this mansion, he never once thought of talking about his girlfriend, and he has no intention of doing it.
As for introducing his lover to his friends, there will be a perfect time for that, but for now, everything is about Nathalia being too easy on Aaron.

"That stupid brother of yours did that?" Mary just arrived home and the first thing she did is searched for one of her kids to confirm what the twin"s personal driver just told her. "Anna, please tell me that your brother didn"t actually do that."
Anna was the first one that she saw, and immediately, she asked Anna to confirm everything. Once Anna told her about what happened, Mary still can"t believe it. Her son is a smart young man, but what he did is childish and irrational.
"Mom, if you don"t believe me then, asked the person who"s personally involved in that matter." Anna could understand her mother"s reaction because every morning, whenever her mother has a chance, she always reminds Aaron on how he should deal with girls.
Obviously, her brother didn"t heed their mother"s words.
Her mother groaned and Anna can"t help but watched her mother. In the corner of her eyes, she saw her father approaching them. She smiles at him and said, "Dad, I think Mom needs someone to talk to."
Since she has no idea how to help her mother, she thinks that her father might be the solution to calm her mother down.
"What happened?" He asked. He was about to touch Mary, but Mary turned about and glared at him fiercely.
"This all your fault! It"s your DNA"s fault!" She said. Both Anna and Arion looks at her confusedly. They have no idea how did it had come to this.
"My DNA? What"s wrong with my DNA?" Just like Mary, he just arrived home after finis.h.i.+ng all the papers that are needed for him to sign before her officially go back to his work, and it really surprises him to hear his wife accusing him of something he had no idea he did.
"You"re already bad at handling girls, to begin with, and I tolerated that back then, but why do you have to pa.s.s it your son?!" When she and Arion first met, Arion got interested in her but it wasn"t loved at first sight. She guessed that he was interested in her because of her personality.
Of course, as the months pa.s.s by, she noticed that change in the way Arion was treating her. She was the first to noticed that the way he sees her is different and Arion, himself, is not aware of it. By that time, she already is developing feelings for him and waited for Arion to realize his feelings.
However, no matter how she waited, there was still no progress.
Now, she knew that her son is bad at treating girls nicely just like Arion, but she didn"t expect her son to be exactly the same as Arion. She is so angry right now to the point she wants to choke Arion.
"Huh?!" Dense in these kinds of situations, Arion has no other choice but to ask his daughter for answers because it seems like Mary won"t be telling him the reason why she"s angry anytime soon. "Anna, what is your mother talking about?"
Anna sighed and told her father what happened. After finis.h.i.+ng her story, she looks at her father, and she expected no less from him. Her father"s expression change from nonchalant to a proud expression.
"That"s my son! Haha! He made a move! I"m so proud of him." He said.
Anna now understands why her mother always complains about her father"s simple-mindedness. No matter how much her brother says that he and their father are not alike, there is a piece of huge evidence right now that proof that they are alike.
"Proud?! You"re proud of what he did?!" Mary angrily asked.
