Ethan sat on a small couch, with Samantha on his right and Samantha’s sister on his left.
Her parents and her brother were seated on single chairs across them, not at all subtle with giving Ethan an appraising look.
“Are you really my sister’s boyfriend?” Samantha’s younger sister, Shirley, who was around fourteen years old, asked. “Come on. Don’t lie. If you are honest, I’ll make you my boyfriend.”
“I am your sister’s boyfriend,” Ethan replied with a smile.
Shirley clicked her tongue, making Samantha glare at her own sister, who seemed serious about poaching her boyfriend.
“Brother, are you rich?” Samantha’s younger brother, Ron, who was ten years old, asked.
“Very rich.” Ethan nodded.
“How rich?” Shirley asked.
“My family owns a castle.” Ethan replied.
“““Oh!”””
Samantha couldn’t help but facepalm, even though she had already anticipated the discussion to steer in this direction somehow.
