C69 Chapter 68

I peeked from behind Mom and first when I saw the man in the big picture earlier, my eyes widened and for some reason I was a little scared. I don't know if I'm just imagining it or if I feel Trigger for him?

I was clinging very tightly to the hem of Mom's t-shirt. Trigger's father smiled at me but I was even more shocked that I could almost hide my face in front of my mother but one of her eyes was still peeking out.

Next, I met Trigger's mother's gaze. I immediately rubbed my arms because I suddenly felt cold. Isn't Trigger's mother a ghost? And I have a third-eye that I just found out? My heart was immediately filled with trepidation, but before I could ask Mom about Trigger's Mom being a ghost, I heard Trigger's voice.

"Nicole!" He happily called my name, I immediately lost all attention on his mother and my eyes turned back to my mother and me, Trigger's face greeted me which is now surprising because he is smiling at me.

"It's better, Amelia, sit down with your son so we can talk properly." Mr. said Steinfield.

"Okay sir, thank you." Mr.'s mother answered politely. Steinfield and then he slowly pulled up a golden chair. I can't help but get excited. Of course, I can sit in the golden chair. Like the one where Trigger and his parents sit, that social chair! Mom even helped me to sit, because the chair is three times higher than me and it's hard to reach.

"Uh. Sir, Ma'am is my problem? Did I or Angeline do something that you didn't like? He's really sorry if there is anything, I'll just tell him so it won't happen again." Mother said worriedly to Trigger's parents.

"Amelia isn't here, but it's my request because she's our only son and we can't refuse her mommy." Mr. answered. Steinfield and then he patted Trigger's shoulder as he smiled at him. Trigger bowed as if what he did was embarrassing. Mom didn't answer and just waited for Mr. Steinfield.

"Because Trigger mentioned that your son won't be able to study this year." My eyes widened when Mr. Steinfield., I kept looking back and forth between Mom and them. Mom even scratched her head and then she answered.

"Uh. Yes sir, because I don't have any savings but next year he will also go back to school." My shoulders fell at what Mom said, even though Mom made me understand repeatedly why I won't be able to study this year, when this talk is actually mentioned, I feel sad.

No matter how much I want to study. Not possible at the moment. We can't because we don't have money. If only Dad were still here, I'm sure he would be able to sleep with Mom. I bowed down because I started crying again.

I really miss Dad and it's so sad because I can't go to school. My classmates and friends will leave me if I'm in the province. I have to make new friends but what if they don't want to be friends with me because I'm a year older than them? Sigh.

"That's why Angeline and I called you to tell you the good news." Answered by Mr. Steinfield.

"What do you mean Sir?" Mom asked in surprise. I just noticed that Mrs. didn't speak much. Steinfield. The horror that I felt earlier came back to what I thought. Could he really be a ghost?

"We will study Angeline." Mr.'s simple answer. Steinfield on Mom's question. And just like they promised before school started, I was able to enroll not only in a simple public school but also in a private school where Trigger also studies.

"Nicole what now? You're taking forever! Are we still going or what?" Trigger asked irritated from outside the maids quarter. I immediately hurried to put vitress on my hair and then I looked at my face again, took the pouch that Mrs. Steinfield and left the room. Trigger's frowning face appeared to me, but he was still handsome.

"What took you so long?" He frowned and asked me in a grumpy voice. I just shook my head while smiling. Tonight is our prominade night but only for Grade 10s. I don't know how this man got an invitation to enter our ball later.

I was even a little sad last time because it was only three days before the ball and no one even wanted to be my escort for the ball. Ciffer told me that many people like me at school. I often receive flowers, letters and even chocolate. Sometimes it's Ciffer or my other friends or classmates who take home the things they give me.

But because I'm fed up, when Trigger sees that I'm carrying something from people I don't know that I like, he takes it from me and throws it away or he says it's my potion and when I eat it or smell it I will be charmed by flowers. And I don't know but when it comes to Trigger, whatever he says is too fast to be believed.

And now he will be my date. Anyway, I'm not at a loss because he's handsome, don't even talk because he's only saying rude things, he's still boring to talk to because he only answers one word at a time. The ugly man is still a man, but do you know that even though he is ugly, almost all the girls in our school like him and I feel the same way.

This is because they know I live in their house Trigger. They also know that Mother is the Mayor of their house Trigger. Yep. You read that right, Mom is the Mayor of the house. The former retired because of old age, while the other maids resigned to get married or go abroad to earn a large salary.

There are girls who just want to be friends with me to get closer to Trigger. They often even forced me to take them to their house Trigger but of course that's not possible! It's not my house and if they want to go there, they should tell Trigger. So the ending is that they fight me because I don't hate them at Trigger's house.
