Chapter 54 - Smiling Devil

"Haa… No more… Haa…" Ayami looked tired as she heavily breathed, while touching her belly.

"No more… I won't eat cookies anymore…" Ayami said, laying on Kayden's bed.

After gobbling all the cookies, their stomachs were full. Ayami felt like she couldn't eat anymore and she felt like she could see cookies dancing in front of her, making her nauseous while Kayden was doing fine and was still energetic.

Knock, knock.

"Young master, I'm coming in." They both heard Sebastian's voice coming through the other side of the door. "The master and madam are here."

Behind Sebastian was a man and a woman in his forties. They both looked sharp and serious, in contrast to Kayden, who was indifferent.

The master and madam? That means they are his parents.

Kayden's father looked at Ayami with a scrutinizing gaze. He shook his head and sternly looked at Kayden.

"I see you brought home some random girl you picked off the streets. Are you that desperate?" 

Ayami's expression darkened, offended by the words that came out of his mouth. Kayden didn't speak a word, as if it was a waste talking to them.

"Haah… I expect nothing less from a freeloader. Tsk." The madam said, sighing disappointedly. 

"To think you would actually bring a dirty thing home."

Kayden yawned, not really interested in hearing their so-called 'scolding'. But noticing the dark expression of the person beside him, he went closer to her and covered her ears. Ayami was surprised while Kayden signalled her with his eyes to not worry.

Then he turned his head to look at his 'father'. The next moment, his aura changed. 

Kayden was still smiling yet, they could feel the suppressing aura coming from him. In an instant, the room's temperature dropped down.

Cold sweat dripped down the master's forehead, it was like he was looking at a smiling devil, ready to eat its prey. He bit his lips, but still he didn't falter. He couldn't let this continue, he couldn't let him be the one who holds authority.

"I…" The 'master' couldn't continue speaking as Kayden calmly spoke to him in a relaxed manner, but the weight of his voice was too heavy, as if he had the authority of a king.

"Are you gonna talk back now? Have you already forgotten who's the master of this house?" 

The 'master' couldn't talk back to him and could only submit to him. Kayden stared at him coldly, it was a contrast to his usual nonchalant attitude. He was staring at him viciously, if he did one wrong move then he's a goner. The 'master' gulped down the lump on his throat.

"Get lost."

As if they were pardoned by the king, they all heaved a sigh of relief and immediately scurried out of the room.

Kayden sighed as they left the room, his aura dissipated in a single second. It seems like he was too lax.

While Ayami, she was wondering what just happened. She couldn't hear anything they were saying as Kayden was covering her ears. And he covered her ears really well, as she couldn't really hear anything at all.

Kayden removed his hands from her ears. Then he apologized to her. "Sorry, you had to see that."

"Eh, it's fine. But if you don't mind me asking, does it happen often?"

"No." It was probably because he brought home a girl. Kayden thought, while Ayami thought so too, making her feel bad. Seeing that the mood has been splashed by mud, Kayden thought of something to do. 

"Ahhh! This mood is too depressing. Let's go play games!" He stood up and dragged her to a room connected to his room. It had a lot of game consoles placed neatly together. There were also movies, games, and other stuff to have fun.

Kayden immediately sat down on a cushion and set up the game. Like an excited kid, he patted the cushion next to him.

"Let's play! Let's play!" 

At this moment, Ayami didn't know whether or not he was a man or a child.
