Sacrificing their closed ones (1)

The dinner was very lively inside the villa with often bickering between Aaric and Kevin while serving food for Sasha, this time even the old man was competing with them. Amanda and Alleyn looked at each other and smiled. It was the first time since they got the chance to see such a harmonious environment. Remo who was sitting beside Elder Smith could not help but feel nervous all the time when the latter would look at him. Especially with that chilly smile of his. 

"Grandfather, why do you always scare Remo?" Aaric although was quite mused but Remo was like his younger brother. He could not help but confront his grandfather regarding this. 

Elder Smith raised his brows and shrugged.

"I never told him to be scared, am I right young man?" The old man shot Remo a glance and asked. The latter choked on his food and laughed awkwardly while answering.

"O-of course G-grandfather." Remo furiously nodded his head and forced a smile.
