Venkat’s face darkened like the night. He wanted to slap Gabe straight away, but after experiencing Gabe’s strength on his shoulder, he didn’t want to risk it.Instead of giving way for Gabe to leave the cafe, he walked alongside him and went to where Mia and Nora were talking.“Why don’t you two join us?” Venkat asked with a smile.“We just ate, so…” Mia apologized. “Sorry.”“Then, you can at least treat us to a nice meal,” Venkat suggested. “You two got married but didn’t even call us, so you can at least do this much for us, can’t you?”“Uh, sure,” Mia agreed out of shyness.“I’ll wait outside,” Gabe said and was leaving, but Venkat grabbed his hand.“Don’t go, my friend. We have a lot to talk about,” Venkat forced him to come with them and sit at the same time once more.“Order anything you want,” Mia told Nora. “I’ll pay for everything.”“That’s the Mia I know,” Nora excitedly called the waiter and then began to look at only the premium items. From burgers and ice creams to milk

“Why are you spacing out when I asked you to do such a simple thing?” Mia snapped her fingers before Gabe’s face.“M-Mia, it’s a long story,” he grabbed her hand and took her to the elevator. Inside, they were alone, and he tried to explain things to her. “I want to give your money back, but I can’t. You know about the system I have, right? That thing is taking my money away.”“Huh?” Mia kept staring at him without blinking.“You don’t believe me?” He quickly showed the transactions and proved to her that his bank balance was zero. However, Gabe could easily have transferred the money to another account also owned by him, so Mia wasn’t too sure about what he was saying.“If the system is troubling you, then why don’t you take it off?” Mia asked.“Like I said, it’s a long story,” Gabe couldn’t tell her about the millions of dollars that he earned through the alpha system and then breaking the deal. It was too sensitive of an information that he didn’t want anyone to know.“Alright,” M

Mia and her family returned home. Everybody had bought something for themselves, except for Gabe. He was the only person who didn’t buy anything. Even if he wanted to buy, he didn’t have any money, so he couldn’t buy anything for his aunt either.As everybody rushed into Mia’s home, Gabe was walking toward his house.“Wait,” Mia’s voice reached his ears. He stopped and looked back. She gave him a bag and walked into her house without saying anything.Gabe looked inside the bag, and there were two pairs of clothes, and also the cake packed inside a small box. One pair of clothes was for a male, and the second pair for a female.“Did she buy clothes for me and my aunt as well?” Gabe got a bit emotional because he thought Mia only bought clothes for herself and her family. “Look at what she’s bought for me and my aunt, Systa.” He scolded the system. “You said she’s selfish, but she bought clothes for me after we sort of had a fight. She even bought a pair for my aunt. Will you take your

Bart’s father, William, was eating while making a lot of noises with his barbaric chewing because he was so hungry and no one was around. But when he saw Gabe casually enter through the front door, he just couldn’t digest it. He angrily dropped the chicken leg piece on the plate and stood. Gabe’s gaze met with William. Seeing the arrogant and cold look on William’s face, Gabe remarked, “I can see where Bart got his arrogance from. Are you going to waste the food on your plate?” “I’m full,” William burped. “Why don’t you finish what’s left on my plate? Oh, wait, you haven an aunt, don’t you? It must have been a long time since she ate chicken, so why don’t you feed her with this leftover food? I’m sure she’ll be over the moon.” Gabe clenched his fists. William saw that and faintly smiled. “Or does she not have the teeth to chew on the chicken bones? What a pity. I truly don’t see the point of such a person living in this world. It would have been much better for her to have killed h

The next morning.Everyone except Mia and Gabe were enjoying breakfast at the dining table. Bertha herself cooked today, and Bart loved the food.“No one can beat you in cooking, Mom,” he praised her.Bertha smiled. “But, Son, what happened to your jaw? Why are you eating slowly with the spoon?”“T-That’s a long story,” Bart’s shoulders slumped. “I’d rather not talk about it.”“Did you fall from forward and hit your chin, Uncle?” Draco asked in a self-altered sweet voice.“No.”“Did someone punch you in the face or something?” Draco asked again.Bart kept staring at Draco without answering.“Haha, who could hurt your uncle?” William chortled. “He’s capable of taking down professional boxers with a single punch, so who can land their fist on his face? I don’t think such a man exists.”Freddy was silently eating. Carrie kept nudging him because they had talked about asking Bart to give Freddy a job in his company. Though Freddy had told her he was planning to work elsewhere, Carrie was
