After introducing the rooms to my family, I started to show them the other places in the mansion. We walked until we reached the bathroom, and then we went to the kitchen. After that, we went straight to the dining room where I explained to my mom, dad, and sister the times they should be here.
I also reassured them by saying that a maid would come to call them when it was time for dinner, lunch, or breakfast. By the way, I moved all the employees we had in the other house to this mansion. My mother fully approved the idea since she liked the old employees.
We spent a very relaxing afternoon together as a family. My sister had her eyes shining whenever I showed her some new place in the mansion. My mother especially liked the garden since she likes flowers. As soon as evening fell, my family and I headed for the dining room. Like the rest of the house, the place was decorated mostly in white.
My family didn't seem particularly bothered by this. In fact, I could tell they liked the color a lot too. With these thoughts in mind, we were now sitting at a relatively large table while we waited for the food.
"This house is really wonderful. I never thought I could live in a house as comfortable and large as this one"
Said my mother with a smile on her face. Hearing her words, I also showed a smile on my face as I relaxed my posture. I was actually quite uneasy, wondering if my mother, father, and sister would like the new house. Seeing that they didn't seem to have any complaints made all the anxiety I was feeling disappear in an instant.
"Glad to hear it"
I said with a soft smile on my face. After that, the food began to be brought in by the servants. Various dishes, such as fruits, meats, and snacks, were placed on the table. As my family would be coming today, I had asked the cook to prepare a range of dishes so that my family could eat comfortably.
As the dishes were placed on the table, I noticed the faces of all my family members. Anna was already practically drooling as she looked at the snacks, while my parents looked impressed as they looked at the various dishes that were served.
"I think I overdid the amount of dishes"
I thought as I sighed. Once all the dishes were served on the table, I looked at my parents and my sister as a smile formed on my face.
"You can eat as much as you want"
As soon as I said that, Ana was the first to attack the feast that was in front of us, grabbing some chocolate cookies. Anna started to eat each one as a huge smile went around her whole face. My mom started with the salads, while my dad grabbed some pieces of meat. Each one seemed to have their favorite food, and I was happy to see them so happy.
As we ate, a comfortable air filled the place. This atmosphere made me remember my childhood before Anna was born. However, now it seemed exceptionally better since we now have Anna. While we were at it, my mother turned to me.
"How have you been, Ren? Are you managing to take care of everything yourself?"
Anna continued to eat the desserts on the table in her own world.
(She is quite cute when she looks like this; her puffy cheeks are very reminiscent of a squirrel's)
I thought with a smile on my face as I looked at Anna.
"I won't say it's been easy, but I'm managing somehow. Hana and Oliver have been a great help to me"
I said as I looked at Oliver and Hana, who were standing in a corner. The servants usually stay in that position to remove the dishes and organize everything once dinner is over, but Hana and Oliver are almost always next to me since they are pretty much my closest assistants.
"It's an honor, Ren-sama"
Oliver said. Hana also seemed to feel the same way. Hearing my words, my mother turned to Oliver and Hana with a sincere smile on her face.
"Thank you for helping my son. He can be a little hard to understand sometimes, but I can assure you he is a good boy"
Said my mother with a funny smile on her face. This made me wonder in what way my parents saw me in their eyes. I really couldn't remember anything abnormal I had done as a child for her to talk about me that way.
"Well, he was always a little different from the other kids"
my father said with a smile on his face. After that, we continued to talk about various things while we had dinner. My parents asked me about the academy, and I told them that it would probably be back soon. I had received a notice earlier saying that the classes would be back this month, but as I had not had any other news besides this, I was not sure.
After dinner, we ate the desserts that were being served. Anna was eating everything with a huge smile on her face. In fact, I was genuinely impressed with Anna's appetite. Although I already knew she ate a lot, I didn't expect it to be this much.
After that, everyone went to their rooms as they prepared for bed. As usual after dinner, I went toward my office, which was now in a new location. The room was decorated in white, and there were some bookshelves, although there were few with books. My desk now had several drawers containing documents related to the territory.
Recently, Oliver has been helping me with the documents. Normally, I leave the less important documents to Oliver, which greatly reduces the time it would take me to review everything by myself. Thanks to this, I unexpectedly used to have a lot of free time.
