C7 Eating 'SHOCK's As A breakfast...

This time, what came from my grandfather's mouth was just too much for everyone to handle.

Grandmother: "___" My head is hurting now".

Calin: "___" Coughed and almost choked with food in his mouth."

Calin: "___" Passed water to her husband and started to pat his back.

Asher then turned his gaze towards grandpa and said, "Rest assured grandpa. I will make sure to prepare enough stock for you before I hit the dry bottom, so no need to drag my little brother into the bottomless pit of your greed." He said with an expressionless face and a cold voice. Then he continued to pay attention to Aiden again as nobody matters to him here more than his little brother.

This conversation between this bold grandpa and grandson made everyone hold their head with both hands and press the pressure point on their temples, as if it was a breakfast with a menu, having only one dish in it, called "SHOCK".

Grandma finally poked her husband and asked him to stop now. His every conversation started and ended with only one thing and that’s "great-grandchildren".

Then nobody talked and started eating their breakfast with full attention. After finishing breakfast everyone headed towards the living room except Evan. He went directly to his room while others were chatting about the business meeting for which Asher went to America.

"Brother Asher where is my birthday gift?? Aiden asked him with excitement as he saw that Asher had done with the talk.

"It’s in my room. Let’s go." As both of them were going upstairs, Evans called Asher and asked, "How was the journey?"

"Quite good." He replied with a cold voice. He didn’t talk further with him and started walking upstairs with Aiden. It didn’t bother Evan, as usual, he turned and headed outside with his car keys. He was wearing a peach-coloured slim-fit T-shirt with a stylish black leather jacket and black jeans with black shoes.

Everyone was familiar with Asher’s behaviour with Evans so nobody paid much attention to it. Evans’s mother didn’t like it but couldn’t say anything because her son was at fault. Also, she was quite scared of Asher as most of the people in the family do.

Evans was Asher’s second cousin. Asher didn’t hate him but was annoyed with all the bad habits Evans had. He was an alcoholic and drug addict who didn’t like to work and had bad company with Friends. Asher tried to divert his attention from these things by giving him few responsibilities in the company but he always got disappointment in return. Finally, he decided to give up on him.

Evans didn’t hate Asher either. It was just that, he was happy in his world. It never bothered him what others said or how they behaved with him. He was just too ignorant of everything. Evans was a bright student with a master's degree in accounts and finance but after completing his education he never tried to do anything for his career let alone give attention to the family business. He just wanted to live a carefree life.

Although having all these bad qualities, he always maintained a distance from women. There were lots of women who tried to make their way into the Smith family by seducing and climbing into Evans’s bed but he never entertained anyone. He didn’t like to be in the company of women except for the women from his family.

At White residence.

Adam and Anna reached their home. It was a luxurious apartment in one of the few expensive areas in the capital. The apartment was huge and the interior was made in European style. It was bought by John White a few years back as he was planning to settle down here after retirement. And he also wanted a nice place for his kids, if in future whenever they would be back in England.

"Finally you are here my little chipmunks!!" Alica welcomed her kids with a warm smile and hug. Alica was a very beautiful and elegant woman. She was slim and fair with beautifully carved features. Nobody could predict her as she looked very much younger. Anna took after her mother and grew up into a beautiful lady. Adam was like his father tall and handsome.

As they entered the house, John came out from his study and greeted them with a warm fatherly hug. Everyone walked to the huge semi-circular sofa in the living room and sat there.

Adam: "Woohoo dad!! This is an amazing place to live. Too stylish and luxurious." Said while laying lazily on the sofa stretching his legs to the floor.

Anna: "Indeed!! It is. After all, I had to plan and design everything to match my wife’s palatial standard." Then he winked at his wife who was sitting next to him. She just replied with a smile.

Both of them looked at their parents and then at each other and smiled. They knew how much their parents loved each other.
