"What is it mom?" Christine asked in a small voice as she sat in her room.
Emma herself is standing at the doorway as she is looking at Christine with narrowed eyes before she sighed and looked at him.
"You know why I am here Christine." Emma said to her as she walked to her daughter.
"I-I... I know I shouldn't have reacted like that okay." Christine said in a small voice as she slumped in her seat.
Emma reached her daughter and wrapped her arms around her and hugged her as Christine relaxed from the contact as she lightly grabbed her mother's arms.
"He was just trying to help us. He was probably worried since the both of us are always very tired after running the store by ourselves. It was only after he joined that we gained more breathing room after all." Emma said to her as she rested her chin on her daughter's head.
"I know, I know. I regret it. I really do. He is such a nice guy and I just..." Christine said feeling regret and guilt as she closed her eyes.
Emma sighed at that and hugged her daughter and par her head to calm her down while Christine tried to calm down after the ordeal.
"You must apologise to him, okay." Emma said to her daughter as she looked at her.
"I will." Christine said in a soft tone as she closed her eyes.

'God I am so glad to get out of there.' Dynamis thought to himself as he left college.
After the reveal of the fact that he has become a Blessed, the students and staff have been acting differently with him. The boys would be careful whenever he is around and the girls would look at him whenever they could, it also didn't help that the blessings also caused women to be more attracted towards him, or so he had been told by Olivia.
And the staff were also the same as they seemed to be walking on eggeshells whenever he was around and he had also realised that they are always careful when they talk to him, or on the other hand just avoid talking to him.
Evidently, him becoming a Blessed and being connected to his sister would do that. And since they had seen it, he is pretty sure that the teaching staff all know about the fact that they are siblings.
Not that they ever tried to hide it but they never had any reason to actually check who his family is, but after the arrival at school they decided to take a look about it in the database. Which is why the school's teaching faculty now know about who he is and are trying to be careful when dealing with him.
He had also noticed how Aria was always nervous whenever he was around and would glance at him from time to time with a guilty look on her face. He wondered if it was because she had decided to leave him for the douchebag and so felt guilty about it.
But right now his main focus was to get back to the mansion and then go to work at Emma's restaurant and also talk with Christine. Though if the girl doesn't want to talk about it then he won't force her to talk.
While he was thinking that he reached the mansion and passed through the gates and stopped at the steps of the front door before he got off the bike and gave the keys to the guard before walking inside. The two guards standing guard at the door giving him a nod as he walked inside as they blushed from the memory.
'I really need to get a hold of myself.' The two guards thought to themselves as they calmed themselves down.
"Is Shriya here?" Dynamis asked the maid as she took his bag.
"Yes. She usually comes 15 minutes before you do sir. She is in her room." The maid said to him in a professional voice as he nodded at that.
"Okay, thank you." Dynamis said as he smiled at her.
She blushed when she saw his smile and the maids who were around and we're able to see his face also blushed when they saw his face.
"I-It's no problem sir. I'll be going now." The maid said quickly before she walked away.
Dynamis watched her leave and looked at the other maids as they also got their bearings and gave him a small bow and walked away to do their duties. He watched them leave before he climbed the stairs and reached the roof of his younger sister.
"Shriya. It's Dynamis." Dynamis said as he softly knocked on the door.
'Good. I didn't break it.' Dynamis thought to himself as he remembered how he had smashed his fist through a door when he just wanted to knock on it.
"Just a second!" Shriya's voice came from the other side.
The door was opened and Shriya's looked at him as she looked at him as she held a list and gave it to him as he blinked in confusion.
"These are just some items I have learned that the Players use when they go inside Gates. They're not weapons but other things that might be useful like armor and potions and such." Shriya said to him as she poked the list.
"Wow. Thanks." Dynamis said as he smiled a bit after hearing that.
"Don't worry about it. It's just some help that I'm doing. You should go and get a bath." Shriya said to him with a small smile.
"Alright. Thanks for the list." Dynamis said as he smiled at her before he went to his room.
Shriya watched him walk away before she closed the door. Inside the room she leaned on the door and slid down and sat on the floor as she grabbed her blushing face as she remembered the smile that her brother directed towards her.
Her heart was also beating quite fast as she took some breaths to calm herself down as she sat on the floor and rubbed her cheeks to calm herself down.
'Calm down Shriya. Calm down. Oh he looked so handsome.' Shriya thought to herself as she sat there on the floor.
Dynamis meanwhile was not aware of the thoughts of his little sister as he went to his and went through the list before he freshened up with a bath. He had also told the maids to prepare some snacks for him before he went to work at Emma's restaurant.
After he was fully dressed he walked down and sat on the couch in the room where he had talked with Shriya before as the snacks and drinks was already prepared for him. His sister was also with him as he had called her to come with him when he was going to the room.
"Are these to your tastes?" Dynamis asked her as he gestured to the things he had ordered.
"Yes. I like them." Shriya said with a nod as she ate some snacks.
"I'm glad to hear it." Dynamis said before he also started to eat as well.
They sat and ate in relative silence as both of them didn't have much to say as they just ate the snacks and talked a little about what happened at their educational institutions.
"Really? They act that carefully with you? I mean, not that my own school isn't anything different but they never acted like that." Shriya said to him a bit surprised at his words.
"Well, I guess they are afraid that I might hurt them due to my new powers as a Blessed. A normal Blessed is much stronger than a human after all." Dynamis said to her with a shrug at that.
'I can see that.' Shriya thought to herself as she looked at his body as she hummed.
They talked a bit more before he was done with it as he stood up and patted his clothes down to make sure that they were fine.
"Alright, it's time for me to go to Emma's restaurant." Dynamis said to her as he got ready.
"Do you really have to go?" Shriya asked him as she looked at him with a raised eyebrow as she hid her sadness.
"Yeah. They do need the help. Don't worry, I won't be in any danger. And I know when I have to run and contact Olivia as well." Dynamis said to her with a smile.
'That is not what I'm worried about. Those two have good bodies. Though considering how he is, I'm pretty sure that he isn't going there to look at them.' Shriya thought to herself as she looked at him.
"Alright. Stay safe." Shriya said to him with a small smile.
"I will. See you soon." Dynamis said to her before he left the room.
Shriya watched him leave with a smile before she reclined on the couch she was sitting on. She had noted how her brother smiled when he talked about the two women, and loathe as she to admit it, she didn't feel good about the fact that he was smiling at the thought of the mother and daughter.
'I know that it's my fault that he doesn't smile as much but... I still feel jealous of them.' Shriya thought to herself as she looked at her juice with a sad face.
