Guests at the house

Name: [Alan Ortex]

Stage: [3rd stage][18%]

Name: [NOVA]

Stage: [3rd stage][58%]

Looking at the progress since they came back from the forest, Alan knew that the higher the stage, the slower the progress would be.

While having breakfast with his mother and sister at the dining table in the kitchen, Alan thought about today's guests.

Alan: "Mom, today the president of my company and her secretary are coming for dinner. I invited them to join us tonight. Is that all right?"

Ariana: "Hoho, the president of your company is coming to our house, and the president is a she. Is there anything my little prince is not telling me?"

Alan: "Nothing of the sort. The people of the company have been very good to me, so I thought it was polite to invite them for dinner."

Ariana: "Of course it's okay; I just thought that spring may have come for my little prince. Well, since it's the president, she's probably way older. Do we need to prepare anything? I should cook."

Alan did not comment on his president's age. He felt that he would be in for many questions if he did.

Alan: "Just relax, Mom; I will do the cooking, I promise them I will."

Ariana: "Okay honey, what time will they be coming?"

Alan: "They told me that they will be here at 6:00 p.m."

Lily: "We have guests??"

Alan: "Yes, baby, two big sisters will visit us today, and they will play with you."

Lily: "Lily Will have two big sisters to play with, yay yay!"

Alan and Ariana both laughed at Lily getting excited.

Alan: "I'll go get the ingredients for the dinner tonight."

Ariana, Lily: "Bye."

...

According to his current progress, Alan should break through to the fourth stage in around 1 month and a half to 3 months; although, this progress was phenomenal. Still remembering what happened in the forest, he could not help but feel that this progress is way too slow.

The best way for a beast tamer to progress faster is to contract more partners. At this stage, where he had enough capital, he started thinking about finding a new contracted beast.

After he finished shopping for the ingredients and got back home, he prepared a small meal for Nova. Then he went straight to the kitchen to prepare for today's dinner.

As he was cooking, his terminal started buzzing. He immediately answered.

Carla: "Little brother, you did not forget your promise, did you? We will be there at 6:00 p.m. Remember to make a lot of meat; Laura loves meat a lot"

Laura: "Carlaaaaa, don't believe her, Alan; she's the one who likes meat just like a beast in the wild."

Carla: "Hahahaha, we will be there in no time. See you soon, little brother."

The call ended without him saying anything. He could not help but get worried that the two of them would start their own drama in front of his mother.

.....

Around 5:30 p.m. inside a luxurious Hoover vehicle.

Laura: "Grandpa Yan could not come, he will be busy with the aftermath of yesterday's incident."

Carla: "It can't be helped. He went to the capital to register the evolution path with the federation archive and to deal with those who started this charade."

Laura: "Alan's family, huh? I'm very curious what kind of mother can bring birth to such an outstanding young man."

Carla: "Ho ho ho, An outstanding young man! what a high evaluation you have, Laura; do I smell lemon in the air??"

Laura with slightly red cheeks.

Laura: "As if I am the only one who is thinking about this, what about our great president, who broke the hearts of so many outstanding young masters in the capital?"

This time it was Carla's turn to get all red.

Carla: "Ahem, well, he is different. He's a gentleman with such outstanding qualities, nothing like these empty shells of young masters that flaunt their powerful backgrounds all day long."

Laura: "With that I also agree."

Carla: "We have arrived."

Both of them got out of the Hoover vehicle, looking at the not small but not big house.

The clean environment and the relaxing atmosphere around the house were much to their liking.

The moment they were about to knock on the door, it opened by itself; standing in front of them was little Lily.

The three of them exchange a silent look.

Lily: "Are you my new big sisters who will play with me?"

Lily asked them both as she tilted her head to the left.

Carla: "Yes, we are your new big sisters. Can you tell big sis what your name is?"

Lily: "Lily is Lily, big sister hug."

Opening both of her hands, Lily demanded a hug.

Laura: "Carla, by the name of the gods, What is this cute little creature?

Carla: "Probably the peak of cuteness in the universe."

Carla hugged Lily, while Laura was slightly jealous because she didn't act faster.

Alan: "Good evening, big sis Carla and big sis Laura, please come in."

Entering the house, both of them went to the living room.

Ariana, who was in the living room watching two beautiful and young ladies walking towards her, was very surprised, but only for a moment as a small smile formed on her face.

Ariana: "Good evening. My name is Ariana. I am Alan's mother. Thank you for taking good care of my son."

When Laura and Carla saw Ariana standing right before them, they froze, looking at this beautiful woman with white hair as beautiful as snow in the winter, silver eyes that you could get lost in, and a gentle demeanor full of grace.

The first one to get herself together was Carla.

Carla: "Ahem, Good evening, ma'am. My name is Carla, and I am the president of the Blue River Chamber of Commerce. You have raised an amazing young man. He even helped us more than we could ever help him."

Laura, who snapped back to reality.

Laura: "Good evening, Mom, I mean Ma'am. My name is Laura, and I am the head secretary of the company. I had the pleasure of working with your son."

Laura made the mistake of calling Ariana Mom, and was so embarrassed that she wanted to kill herself.

Carla, who was watching, was also more embarrassed and slightly jealous.

Ariana: "It feels great to have a beauty like you calling me Mom. Please, you two, have a seat."

....

Under Ariana's meticulous, gentle approach, the awkwardness in the room evaporated, and both Carla and Laura were having great conversations with Alan's mom.

Alan went back to the kitchen and started to prepare the table for dinner.

Ariana: "You both must be very amazing. Carla, you are the president of the Blue River Chamber of Commerce, and you, Laura, are the head secretary for the same company, at such a young age."

Carla: "I still can't believe that someone as beautiful as you, who looks so young, can be the mom of two. But you being Alan's mother makes sense; I always thought, What kind of incredible woman would give birth to such an amazing young man? Looking at you, at first I thought you were his big sister. And how cute Lily is! You have very good genes in the family."

Laura: "Indeed, ma'am, you look incredible."

Ariana: "Thank you both, And please don't call me ma'am; you can call me Ariana, or better, call me Mom."

The moment both of them heard that, smoke started coming from the back of their heads.

When everything was ready, Alan called everyone to the table. Lily was the first to show up to devour the feast.

After dinner started, Carla was amazed at how delicious the food was; she had tasted the work of a five-star chef before, and the food in front of her does not lose at all.

Laura: "It is so delicious; I can't believe how good of a cook you are, Alan. You could make a living with just this skill."

Carla: "Indeed, it is so delicious."

Ariana: "My little prince has always spoiled us with his cooking. If you like it and find it delicious, please eat more."

Lily: "Lily loves big brother food the most."

Without even raising her head from the plate, Lily made the only comment on the dinner and continued stuffing food inside her cute mouth.

Watching Lily, everyone laughed at this little gluttonous monster of cuteness.

Ariana: "You both are very young, right? You look like you are 23 or 24 years old."

Carla: "24"

Laura: "23"

Ariana: "So young, so successful and promising, beautiful and well-behaved, the perfect ladies, if I say so. What do you think, Alan?"

Trying to stay silent throughout this dinner was not a successful operation for Alan as his mom dragged him into it.

Alan: "I can only agree with what you said, Mom."

When both Carla and Laura heard Alan answer, they blushed and couldn't utter a single word.

Ariana: "My son, although a little young, is very dependable and smart, and he inherited his looks from me. And the biggest plus: he's an excellent cook, the perfect boyfriend, and husband material. But in the department of romance, he can be a blockhead, so you both have to attack and attack. I would love to have two beautiful daughters-in-law like yourself."

Carla and Laura could not even lift their heads anymore, as they were so shy. The cool beauty president and the stoic secretary were nowhere to be seen now. If one looked at them right now, they could only see two young maidens meeting their mother-in-law for the first time.

Alan: "Mom, please, you are making them uncomfortable, you two Don't listen to Mom and enjoy your dinner."

Ariana laughed at their cute appearance.

After dinner Alan decided to take care of cleaning as an excuse not to be included in such conversation any longer.

From the kitchen he could hear his mom with Carla and Laura whispering to each other.

His mother is one of the most level-headed individuals that he had ever met in both his lives, but she can be mischievous and teasing sometimes.

After everyone had a blast for an evening, Laura and Carla excused themselves as it was getting late.

Ariana: "This is your house from now on, so please don't be shy about stopping by, and remember our talk, push Make a fact, then you are the winner."

Carla and Laura were beet red after hearing Ariana's talk.

Saying goodbyes, they left the house in a hurry.

Alan: "Mom, what exactly did you say to them? They ran away like rabbits."

Ariana laughed and answered

Ariana: "Just giving them some key advice for their future."

Alan could only smile at his mother's behavior; today was a good day to relax, and tomorrow's a good day to work harder.
