Chapter 7: The entities [3]

I entered the mansion. I am still sleepy. But it's ok I think. Once I meet with Grandma, I will go to sleep.

I entered the grand foyer. Some servants greeted us. Grand foyer of this house was another huge room just unlike classic stuff at Mathew's, it consisted of modern art painting and different weird sculptures. It seemed chaotic to look at separately but if you look at the grand foyer as a whole and include the stairs, then it surprisingly fits well together.

"Jason.", Grandpa said.

"Yeah?"

"Can you stay here? I will go call your grandmother."

"Sure"

I am super sleepy tho. Just a while won't hurt.

After grandpa left, I sat on the sofa. I think I will try a prank on him tomorrow or the day after. Hmm I also need to think about some pranks. Well this will be a task but I need to think well. The prank should not harm anyone or hurt anyone. It should evoke laughter.

I heard two servants whisper behind even though they were away from me, I could easily hear them. Are they really this loud? Or are my ears just good?

"Is he the one?"

"Yeah…"

"Did he really fight with Mathew Regar?"

"Yeah"

"He seems so innocent like a 10 year old."

T-Ten?! I look that young! Dang…

"He does have a baby face… Kinda cute."

What the…

"Ayo shut up!" I said.

I can't! You're helpers in the house! Do not say that the master is cute…

But was there any good way to say it?

Idk…

"Young master? Is something wrong?" One of them came forward.

"Can't you hear them whispering?" I asked.

"Who are?" He seemed confused.

What? He can't? Then—

Fuck! I forgot this house is owned by someone who is acquainted with the supernatural. I feel the terror. Scary!

This would be some supernatural entity. I should have just overlooked it. But…

Ah fuck! This will go to Grandpa and now he will be more alert about me. Ughhhh!

I just dug a grave for myself.

But still, I didn't know I can still hear something that normal people can't. I think this would be a good thing for me to keep handy in the future. Still, it's good to know I have another of my abilities from my past lives. I hope to hone my skills more with time.

"I… I think I am really tired today. Can you take me to Grandpa? I don't think I can't wait for Grandma any longer. "

One of the servants gasped suddenly. And then I even saw the other servants seemed surprised or shocked about something. The person in front of me just stared at me for a while.

What?! Tell me, too! Duh.

"What? Something on my face?"

"N-No young master."

"Take me to Grandpa."

"Yes, young master, please follow me."

Geez. What's up with all these people? I wonder.

However, I need to be careful in this place too considering how I can hear the voices of the supernatural. I think keeping your guard up and being mindful would be the best course of action for now. I feel that this would actually keep me safe if anything.

We reached a room after a while and the servant said that since it's Delia's room, they would be there.

The servant went to knock on the room. But then we suddenly heard Delia scream which stopped him from knocking.

She said, "You can't suddenly bring him like this!"

"But he is our grandson." Grandpa said. He called me his grandson again… I felt something squeeze my heart again. Gahh! I really love this dopamine and serotonin rush but again, I won't be getting too personal. Let's not forget that.

"You should have at least informed me." Grandma said worriedly.

"I did..." Grandpa's voice suddenly lowered.

Nani Nani? What's this convo about?

"Informing two hours before is not informing!! If you are going to bring him, at least tell me in the morning!" I ain't any author but if I were to describe it dramatically, I would say, 'Grandma roared at Grandpa'.

Wait no. I am losing my mind. It's not grandpa or grandma, it's Delia and Winsten. I won't fall for their family nonsense…

But…

" I had thought I would do so many things when he first came. It's all in vain now…", she continued.

But…

"He seemed to not get along with Mathew. I had to bring him so that nothing worse happened. I think he suspects Mathew…" Grandpa spoke.

"Do you think he already knows about the–" Grandma was speaking but she was suddenly cut off by the servant beside me who had to open his trap and say, "Umm…"

This asshole. I have him a 'criminal offensive side eye', if I were to follow the trend, which would shut him but…

As a reply, we heard, "Who's there?" From grandpa.

How ridiculous!

I opened my mouth and said, "it's me."

"Are you my son? Introducing himself as 'Me'. My foot. Tell me the name." Delia is fucking rude. Well, it ain't my thing to be nice to rude people too…

"Not up son but unfortunately your son-in-law's son."

"Wh-" There was a short pause. Suddenly the door opened and I saw my 'dear' grandparents come out. In a bit of panic too.

You know a lot about the people by how they treat their servants. I think I have another problem. Dad treated his servants kindly from what I saw. I need to check on what the real scenario is when I get back.

But for now, this revelation is good.

Delia is a beautiful woman. She had flaming red hair and red eyes. More like wine because her beauty has not faded because of the wrinkles on her fair skin but enhanced it.

Both Winsten and Delia are an eye-candy couple despite being old as time.

"Oh my dear…" I saw Delia smile as if she had seen heaven but that's fake. You can just say that she is… happy but… still… not a very good person by how she yelled.

She opened her arms to hug me. I took a step backwards.

"I am not really comfortable." I said.

"Oh, I should have consented first. Sorry…. I was really happy to see you."

"I heard that." I said. I think I should smile a bit too despite being tired because that would make the situation less tense. I feel what I said would sound rude without any emotions.

Suddenly the servant gasped again. Oh my god! These people have a habit of gasping a lot. But this time even Winsten and Delia were scared.

Do I look scary? Meh… less trouble that way.
