Chapter 32 - Seth's Family

We are currently walking into Seth's mansion. I'm nervous, what if his parents don't like me because I'm poor? then insult me? what I'm going to do?. What if they offer money so I can just stay away from Seth?; How much will they give?

Wait, why would they keep me away from their child, I'm not even Seth's girlfriend. I suddenly lost my mood and pulled my handheld by Seth; why is he holding my hand, I'm not his girlfriend

Seth stopped walking and looked at me in astonishment

"Is there a problem Seven?" He asked

"Uhm.. nothing let's go" I can't tell him because maybe I'm the only one who feels this way, what if he doesn't feel anything for me?

I walked first

"Uhm.. Seven that's not the right way" Serra said

I let them walk first and then I followed them. We arrived at the dining hall with a very long table and with twenty chairs, in the center chair I saw a man sitting I think he is the head of the family, and after a second a woman came in with a plate of food in her hand; She's the mother of Seth, I remembered her I saw her once.

"You are already there, sit down so we can eat," Mrs. Zoldyck said while smiling, she's sweet too like Serra

"By the way, I want to introduce Seven' Seven he is my dad and my mom, and mom, dad this is Seven my friend" Seth introduced me as a friend to his parents

Yeah as a friend nothing more, nothing less

"Good evening Mr. and Mrs. Zoldyck" I greeted them

"Just call me aunt Sarrah, you don't need to be formal beside your Seth's friend" Seth's mom is so kind, I remember my mom again

I sit next to Seth and I was opposite Serra in the chair who was next to their mother.

"You look familiar, Seven right? are you one of the families of Katz?" We are currently eating when suddenly Mr. Zoldyck asked me

"That's my questions too, your face also looks familiar to me, because you look like my best friend who belongs to the Katz family," Aunt Sarrah asked me

Katz? This is my first time hearing that family

"Sorry but no, my last name is Crimson" I answered

"You're a daughter of Carlo? the Carlo Crimson?" Can't believe aunt Sarrah said

"I'm his youngest child," I noticed that Seth suddenly stopped eating

"Sorry Seven, but all I know is that Carla is Carlo's only child, I just found out that he has the youngest child also" After Aunt Sarrah said that I gave a forced smile

I suddenly felt pity for myself, other people didn't even know that I lived as the youngest child of my dad and mom, they only knew Carla' at-least Carla is the only one they are proud of and introduce to others. I always ask myself why my own family is like this to me.

I bowed my head to hide the tears that wanted to drip from my eyes.

I felt Seth holding my hand under the table and he gently squeezed it as if he was saying everything was going well too..

When we finished eating, aunt Sarrah invited me to have tea on the lanai near the living room; from here you can see the gate of the Zoldcyk garden because it is more elevated

We are the only three here; Serra and aunt Sarrah because Seth went to the library with Mr. Zoldyck

"You know I'm very happy now because you're here Seven?" Huh why because of me?

"This is the second time he has brought a friend here to our house. You know before, my son was no longer making friends because he was often bullied, and Zendaya is his only friend, so his dad decided to give Seth additional special education so he could defend himself. But even so, he was still far from the others that's why I'm happy when I saw you with him" She continued

"I'm also happy to meet Seth and your whole family, thank you for accepting me here" I'm happy to meet them. It's fun to watch their courtship while we're eating.

"Are you sure that you and my son are just a friend?" I blushed when she asked that

"Uhm.. Yeah.. We're just friends.. He-he" I stammered in response

"You like my son, don't you?" My eyes widened when I heard what she said; aunt Sarrah was looking at me foolishly

"Uhm.. Errr.. Uhm.." I don't know what I should say

"Haha, don't worry I won't tell him; I like you for my son too" I blushed even more with shame

What? She likes me too for her son?

"I like you too Seven because you're weird" Even Serra liked me for his brother, the case because for her I'm weird..

That's sweet.. she's a very sweet child; with a sarcastic tone

"Do you know mom I saw her lying in my older brother's bathtub and then there was no water, she said she was sleepwalking? Amazing right?" Serra said

I'm dead.. I hope the earth eats me now..

"HAHAHAHAHAH" They laugh

Seth and his dad heard that too and the whole family Zoldyck was laugh..

I thought Serra's already forgot that..
