Chereads / Journey of the Moonlight Swordsman / Chapter 43 - Unexpected reunion

Chapter 43 - Unexpected reunion

The front yard and the back yard of the mansion were enormous, and they had a pool, a tennis court, a basketball court, a skating ramp, and more.

If the space wasn't being used for recreational activities, it would be decorated with various flowers and trees that were all well cared for.

The mansion itself was built in a modern style and was five stories tall. It was also separated into multiple, differently sized buildings.

Finn guessed that the biggest building was probably the main one, but he didn't know what purpose the other buildings around it served.

There were four garage doors, and one of them led to an underground garage.

The mansion itself had white walls and a black roof that had multiple huge solar panels on it.

The helicopter slowed down and began its descent towards one of the four helipads that were on the roof of the main building.

Upon landing, Finn got out of the helicopter, and he saw that Nina's father had come out to welcome him.

He came up to Finn and led him inside the mansion to escape from the noise of the loud helicopter.

A butler that was following them closed the door, and the noise finally stopped.

"Welcome to my house, Finn. I am glad you could make it here."

Nina's father smiled, while the butler helped Finn out of his jacket and passed it over to a maid.

"Yes, thanks to the helicopter you sent for me. I'm sorry, but I don't think I've had the pleasure of knowing your name yet."

Finn looked at Nina's father, who showed an embarrassed smile.

"I am sorry about that. Jonathan, Jonathan Coldstar."

He held out his hand, gesturing that he wanted to shake Finn's hand, so Finn grabbed it and also introduced himself.

"I'm Finn Graham. Nice to meet you, Jonathan."

Not that he needed to, since Jonathan had all the information about him from the police anyway.

"Actually, there is something I wanted to talk about…"

"Not now."

Finn wanted to ask for a favor about his dad's work, but he was firmly rejected.

"It is lunch time, have you eaten yet?"

"Lunch? No, sir, I have not."

"Drop the sir, just call me Jonathan, and if you haven't, how about joining me and my girls for lunch then."

He would be lying if Finn said that he wasn't hungry, but that is not what he came here to do.

Then again, it would be very rude to turn down the offer, so he accepted and they started walking toward the elevator.

The corridor had white walls that were decorated with paintings and pottery. On the floor was a long red carpet with golden threads sewed into it.

There were maids walking around, but whenever Finn and Jonathan passed by them, they would bow before continuing what they were doing before.

Soon they arrived in front of a golden elevator, and Finn was slowly starting to get used to such a ridiculous show of wealth.

Jonathan kept talking to his butler about his busy schedule that he wanted to cancel, and Finn was pondering about what Jonathan had previously said.

'Hmm… girls? Oh, he probably means Nina and his wife. Does that mean that I will be interrupting their lunch time? But Jonathan invited me himself, so it's probably alright…'

Finn quickly got used to calling him Jonathan because he also preferred to talk more casually with other people.

After entering the elevator, the butler pressed a golden button that had a white "1" written on it, and the elevator began descending.

Not even a second later, they had already arrived on the first floor.

DING

The elevator door opened, and another corridor appeared before Finn. This one had blue walls with a black carpet.

The walls were still decorated with pictures, but the pictures all had a blue color scheme, making them fit right into the corridor.

They kept walking while passing door after door until they finally arrived in front of a wooden double door with golden handles.

Before entering, Jonathan turned to look at Finn.

"I am so sorry, but there is something I have to do in my office, so please just give me fifteen minutes and I will come to eat lunch too. In the meantime, please enter and get to know my family more."

"Alright, no problem."

Finn nodded, and Jonathan began walking in another direction.

The butler didn't follow and instead opened the door for Finn.

Entering the room, Finn saw a long table that had five chairs and five sets of cutlery prepared.

The table had a red cloth on it, and there was a maid that was lighting candles and putting them on the table.

There was no food on it yet, so Finn guessed that it would probably be delivered by the maids after they had sat down.

One of the beautiful wooden chairs was suddenly pushed away from the table, and before Finn could focus on the noise, he felt a blunt object hit his chest.

"FINN!"

Looking down, he saw Nina, who was wearing a long dress that had a deep shade of red, and it was decorated with black ribbons.

The dress also didn't have sleeves, which revealed her fair shoulders, and with Nina's seductive body, it fit her perfectly.

Nina was looking up at Finn while smiling, and even though he liked Sophie, his heart skipped a beat.

It would be weird if it didn't, since he had a 19-year-old body and he was currently being hugged by a girl that was this charming after all.

"Hey Nina."

He smiled with a faint blush and wanted to pat her head, but they were disrupted by a loud voice.

"Nina stop! That is improper!"

Long, purple dress that went well with her long, wavy purplish hair. The dress tightly hugged her body, outlining her mouthwatering figure.

Her face, which was devoid of any blemishes, had almost no makeup on it, but it still looked incredibly appealing.

She had gemlike green eyes and a small, but not too small, nose.

With her long eyelashes and red lips, she not only looked gorgeous but also extremely seductive.

After elegantly standing up from her chair, she slowly walked towards Finn and Nina.

Nina had already stopped hugging Finn with a pouting face.

"I haven't seen Finn in a while. Don't friends hug each other?"

"No!"

With a single word, she made Nina shut her mouth and delicately held out her hand.

Finn was clueless about etiquette, so he didn't know if he was supposed to kiss her hand or give her a handshake.

So, he just gently grabbed her fingers with his thumb on top of them, hoping that she wouldn't be as strict with him as she was with Nina.

"I am Finn, and you are probably Nina's older sister, right? Nice to meet you."

"Fufufu... No, I am her mother, and my name is Estelle, but thank you for the compliment."

Estelle laughed without having her body shake in any way while covering her mouth with her gloved hand.

'No, that wasn't a compliment… I mean…'

Finn was stumped to hear that the person in front of him was Nina's mother because she didn't look a day over thirty.

He was thinking about how to start a conversation with her when he was suddenly pulled into her chest.

"I have been looking forward to seeing you. Our little hero that saved Nina from the bad guys…"

After being pulled into her embrace, Finn's head landed sideways on top of her soft chest, and she was currently looking down at him with a seductive smile.

'…This situation is really not good. What if Jonathan comes right now and sees me hugging his wife with my head on her boobs.'

"Yes, but can you-"

"Oh my!"

He tried to lift his head, but Estelle didn't let go of his head and instead pulled it back, making his nose get buried in her chest this time.

"I didn't know we would be moving so fast-"

"Mother! How is this not improper?!"

With a shout from Nina, Finn was finally freed from Estelle's grasp.

He had the strength to resist, but the feeling of being in the arms of such an appealing woman made him think with the lower part of his body instead of his brain.

"Tsk! And just when it was getting good… I am sorry, Finn, if I inconvenienced you in any way."

For a split second, Estelle's face showed anger, but it was quickly replaced by a soft smile.

"N- No, ma'am. I am okay."

"Please call me Estelle, darling."

She seductively winked at Finn, and the more this situation played out, the more confused he became.

"Mother, why can you hug Finn and I can't!"

"Because you aren't an adult yet."

"But I am eighteen, which makes me an adult!"

"An adult wouldn't try to run away from her responsibilities to eat fast-food."

"…"

Finn was looking at the two of them argue, and he decided to step in so that he wouldn't be the reason their relationship worsening.

"Estelle, I wanted to ask why there are five sets of cutlery when there are only the three of us here, and with Jonathan, it's four."

He asked, and Estelle finally stopped scolding Nina and looked at him.

"Oh, that is because Nina isn't my only daughter. I have one more, and her name is-"

CREAK

"I am sorry I came late but I had to do some stuff in Second Li… Finn?"

Upon hearing his name, Finn turned around and saw the final person in the family.

Nina's sister and Estelle's daughter.

"…Sophie? What are you doing here?"

He looked at Sophie with a shocked expression because she was the last person he expected to meet here.

"What do you mean? I live here."
