Package Delivery

In the middle of the dining room, there is a 10 meter long dining table that is plated in gold, with Ronald's father sitting at the end of the table.

"Hey son, come sit down for breakfast, it's been a while since we've eaten together as a family."

Ronald in the novel was originally the only son in the entire family, not even a single sister or brother, so his father, Arnold Kuangge, regarded him as a treasure and would always pamper him and always affirmed him that no matter what he's always right and can do anything he wants in the city, which eventually ends up creating Ronald's original character as the typical arrogant rich second generation.

"Dad, Luna is going to be attending my birthday party tonight, right?"

"Yeah." Ronald's dad couldn't help but sigh subconsciously and stare at the ceiling which is the habit he has whenever he is ever deep in thought. He's well aware that his son's fiancee doesn't even like his son and even shows a slight disgust towards him.

Ronald can easily see his dad's concerns, but decides to ignore it since he knows he can't break character, he has to maintain the personality of being an absolute simp and a slave towards Luna.

It's not like he doesn't care about his father's feelings, after all he's been in this world for 7 years during his previous life, but he's aware that if he doesn't maintain his personality according to the novel and does something irregular towards anyone that has anything to do with the plot, he might risk the chance of ruining the plot.

Although Ronald and Arnold had a short conversation, Arnold still regarded this as one of the most memorable time he's ever had with his son.

Right after they had finished breakfast, just right before Arnold was about to get up and go to work, one of the butlers came in and handed him a package.

While the butler was talking to his dad, Ronald could see his dad get extremely excited about something, and tried to search through his memories to recall the last time his dad ever got this excited about something. It seems like throughout his 7 years of being in this world, he has not once ever seen his dad get this hyped about anything. He also doesn't even seem to recall a package being delivered during this time in his previous life.

After a few more minutes of talking to the butler making sure that the package isn't a trap or anything, Aronald turned towards his son with probably the biggest grin in his face he has ever showed in his entire life.

"Uh dad, did something good happen?" Ronald was genuinely curious as to what could make his father who would rarely even smile make him look that way.

"Haha of course, this package is for you son! I really need to go to work as I'm afraid I'll be late if I don't go now so I'll leave this on the table for you to see. I'll see you at the banquet."

Watching his sneaky dad rush out of the house, he was getting even more curious about what could be hidden inside this package of his. But why would anyone send him something to begin with? He doesn't even have a single friend at this time and he was not respected amongst the other rich second generations as he has always acted like a dog for Luna.

Opening the box, Ronald takes a good look inside and he can see a fully iced out custom diamond watch with his name ingrained on it and a small sticky note on the side.

He was so shocked about the fact that anyone would even be willing to go through the lengths to spend this much money for him alone. If someone wants to build connection with his family, they might as well try to curry favors with his father instead of him. His father is the one carrying the weight of the family and all he's been doing is chasing after one girl like a loyal dog.

Examining the watch and deducing that the diamonds are in fact real, he took a quick glance at the note that he just realized was there. The note only contained one word, but this one word made him question if he's gone crazy.

"No, no way. I must just be seeing things. Yeah that's it, let me just wash my face really quickly, and then no doubt it'll say something else."

After Ronald ran across his 10,000 square meter house to go wash his face while all the guards, maids, and butlers were curious as to what was going on, he dashed back towards his dining room to reread what was on the note.

"... Luna."

'What the hell is going on here?'
