Chapter 98 Suarez Family's Future!
Chapter 98 Suarez Family's Future!
Sera's mind was in a mess, not understanding the situation.
Before, when she was eliminated, she was a little disappointed that she couldn't help Alex reach the top. But what surprised her more was when she started watching the broadcast on the screen.
There was no Alex to be seen even until the very end, and now there was another unknown guy who seemed to be even more powerful than Alicia.
'That bitch is acting like a little girl in front of him!'
'But never mind that!'
'Who is he?! Where did he pop out from?!'
No matter how much she tried to remember. Sera didn't have any impression of such a person in her memory.
So she started searching for his information. She called her butler and, after asking around for a few minutes; she managed to ascertain his identity.
'Luis Suarez! The Suarez Family's heir! Hero Henry's grandson!'
'And!... And!...' Sera started taking deep breaths when she got this information.
'He is the fiance of Alicia Raven!!?'
'That bitch had a fiance?! How come I don't know anything about that?!'
From what she remembers, there was no such person named Luis Suarez, who joined the academy. With such a strength he would have never been a transparent person.
Sera became agitated since things weren't going according to her knowledge and her heart set off turbulent waves as a question bugged her mind.
'Is this the same world that I know?'
She couldn't help but feel a slight chill on her spine.
Shaking her head, Sera thought, 'No, I can't be stumped here. After I came back, I already knew that there would be major changes in the future because of my actions.'
'I should have expected it.'
She tried comforting herself, thinking that this change was somehow related to her actions. But no matter how much she tried, her mind couldn't be at ease.
'I have to find out what kind of change made him appear here!'
'And what other changes are there in this timeline?'
With a sharp glint and a serious expression on her face, Sera left the stadium.
***
Inside a private dining room of a popular restaurant. Five people were sitting across the table, eating the variety of dishes placed in front of them silently. This awkward silence caused an unknown tension in the atmosphere.
Ronald found himself a bit uncomfortable in this situation. But he couldn't find a way to remedy the situation between Luis and David. Because he knew that only after Luis explained everything would David be satisfied.
He looked at David, who was staring at Luis dangerously, not even touching his food.
Then his eyes shifted to Luis, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
'As expected of my son, he has guts made of iron to eat comfortably, even in such a situation.'
He wasn't worried that David would actually attack Luis. He knows his friend well. Moreover, even though David doesn't show it. He still cares about Luis.
'Hmm, but what should I do? I don't want this tension to ruin my lunch.' While Ronald was thoughtful, his eyes met Lumine's, who seemed to say something from their eye contact.
After years of living together with his wife, they have quite an understanding of each other. He immediately understood what she meant to say.
Nodding their heads together, they immediately turned to look at Alicia.
Yes, they just gave up, leaving Luis and David alone.
"Alicia, dear, your performance was excellent," Lumine said with a smile. "Your hard work has paid off."
"Thank you, Aunty," Alicia said while showing a soft smile. Lumine was her teacher and getting her recognition made her heart full of joy.
Ronald also nodded, showing a satisfied expression and said with a relieved smile, "Now, I don't have to worry anymore. With Luis and your excellent genes, the future of the next generation of the Suarez family is safe."
After Ronald's words fell, the hands eating their food froze and all eyes inside the dining room shifted to Ronald.
Even the awkward tension between Luis and David disappeared as David's focus shifted to Ronald.
Lumine facepalmed, then looked at Ronald with a serious expression.
"Do you know what you are saying? They are just sixteen!"
Ronald looked at Lumine with a confused expression and said, "Hmm, what? When did I ask them to have kids now? It will happen eventually. Did I say anything wrong?"
His cross-question made Lumine thoughtful.
"Ah, yes, you are right, darling. My mistake."
She looked at Alicia and said with a smile. "I am also looking forward to that future."
Alicia's checks were flushing red. She didn't expect her praises would end up turning into the talks about her children.
Even though she knew they were talking about the future. She couldn't help but feel shy.
'My and Luis' children? No, no, no. How could that be? It's too soon. Moreover, I have a lot of things that I want to achieve. I can't have a child this early.'
'But if we end up having one early, then what will I do?'
Though she had to say one thing. Her heart didn't reject this possibility. 'Maybe it won't be too bad.'
'Hah, what am I thinking?!'
Embarrassed by her imagination, her eyes turned sideways to look at Luis, who was also looking at her while eating his food.
When the two of them made eye contact, Luis showed a mischievous grin and winked.
Alicia lowered her head while trying to calm her heart and suppress that giddy feeling of having butterflies in her stomach.
David was observing everything with a depressed face.
'Here, the matter with this bastard isn't settled yet and you people are harassing my daughter right in my face.'
He looked at his daughter, who lowered her head with a shy expression and quietly ate her food as if acquiescing silently.
David's fierce eyes turned back to Luis, and this time, he felt even more unbearable in his heart.
'It's this brat who corrupted my daughter.'
---
For the rest of the lunch. Only Ronald and Lumine made some small talk and the rest were silent. Quietly eating their food.
After the lunch came to an end, David gave a sharp look at Luis, to which he nodded and said.
"Let's go back to the hotel first. I'll explain everything in my room."
David nodded and didn't refuse. He knew the topic would not only be about his slight dissatisfaction, but also about some sensitive matters. That matter can't be discussed publicly.
***
After a quick ride, the five of them returned to the hotel. Inside Luis' room, they took seats on the chairs and sofa, while Ronald set up a sound barrier inside the room.
David nodded thinking, it was better for Alicia to know about it first. So she can also decide on how to punish him.
Luis sighed and said, "Then let me explain."
"So, now can you start?" David sounded a bit impatient.
But Alicia on the side stopped him.
"Before we begin, can anyone explain the situation to me?"
David nodded thinking, it was better for Alicia to know about it first. So she can also decide on how to punish him.
Luis sighed and said, "Then let me explain."
"No need, Luis. Instead of you explaining, we can just let Alicia watch everything with her own eyes." Lumine tapped on her mana bracelet and said with a smile. "Lily, show that recording to your Sister Alicia."
{Okay, Mom.} Lily projected herself as a hologram in the room and then turned on a screen displaying the video of Luis' whole interaction with Emily, Ursula, and Thomas.
Luis' lips twitched as he looked at Lily and then at Lumine, who was watching Alicia's changes in expression, while sitting tightly on her seat showing an interesting expression, as if waiting for a great show to start.
Ronald found Luis staring at Lumine while showing a vengeful expression.
'Sorry, my son. Today, even your dad can't help you out of this situation. This is something you brought upon yourself, so you can only face it head-on.' He shook his head while sighing.
When their eyes made contact, Ronald raised his fist, then gave a thumbs up as if cheering him up.
'So I've been betrayed by both of them.' Luis shook his head in disappointment. While thinking that human bonds are so fragile.
'Let's just save the situation for now. Then comfort Alicia on tomorrow's date.'
He had decided to make his girl happy tomorrow. 'I have to plan it well.'
Alicia, who was watching the recording, had a flat expression on her face. The previous shyness had long since disappeared and the surrounding aura chilled.
She saw how Thomas was killed in one move and Luis' conversation with Emily and Ursula that ended with his pretentious explanation.
'So that's what she meant by Luis accidentally eliminating that Prince. It was just him pretending.' Alicia understood, but she didn't focus on this for long as she had several questions in her mind that she wanted to ask him.
After the video ended. Alicia's plain eyes looked at Luis, and she said flatly with a slight coldness in her tone. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"So this is what you were doing while avoiding me as I was looking around everywhere for you."
