He was just sitting down on the couch and he had his friends there chatting with him. While I helped receive the guest, I know I shouldn't be doing this,but I needed to improve my public image. It would be good for the public to see me as a respectful grandson that personally received his grandfather's guest. With what I have planned for the future, I need everyone to see me as a humble and respectful gentleman. My father had tried contacting me to inquire about Mr Dominic's birthday. "He is your father ,so if you have any questions ask him yourself." That's the reply I gave him.

It never gets old. He just begs for who will give him money these days and I never help him. "Dad, Mom and I, who is more beautiful?" Lisa's velvety voice made me stare at her, as an unwavering smile adored her baby face. I saw Roxy,her mom, walking downstairs. I think she was listening to hear what I would say because she came to sit beside me. "Lisa, baby, why are you asking that?" I asked her and she pouted and folded her arms. "Mommy says she's prettier than me, so who do you think is prettier?" Lisa asked with a raised eyebrow. I think she knows what I was going to say because she was glaring at me. "Darling you and your mum are equally beautiful." I replied, because I don't want to get in some kind of trouble. "I know you never
