Completing The Payment Soon.

I was going to spoil my mum with money when I started becoming rich with the help of the system...she'd suffered enough.

After walking past my sister with the aim of changing up into casual clothes, she uttered to me,

"Remember the question I asked you earlier before you left the house. Where did you get these clothes and shoes that you're wearing? They look quite expensive, and I know fully well you didn't own these clothes and shoes before,

So where did you get them from? If you bought them, where did you see the money to buy them? I want to know".

I didn't answer her question immediately. I first walked toward the bed and balanced on it, then I responded to her question,

"I made some money by engaging in some things. And it was with part of that money that I was able to buy these clothes and shoes".

Of course, I wouldn't be able to tell her about the system or anything concerning her, so I just had to tell her that...

"What did you engage in? I hope it isn't something illegal". Julia's voice resounded again.

"Come on, sis, why would I engage in something illegal? I'm not that stupid. I made the money legally".

"Good to hear that. Mum would be completely heartbroken if she finds out that one of us was engaging in something illegal to make money. So don't you dare contemplate it".

"I wouldn't, sis".

And after saying that, I stood up from the bed and changed into casual clothes. Then I inquired of my sister though there was an obvious answer to the question,

"Are you done preparing dinner?".

"A long time ago". She responded.

"I wonder when mum would be back home". My voice resounded again.

"She'd be back soon".

My sister was handling something currently. But the moment she was done handling it, she walked toward the television and turned it on.

Was I in the mood to watch TV? Well, to an extent. And I was hungry, I could feel my stomach rumbling, and we wouldn't be able to eat until our mum came back home.

Not like it was a rule that was put by our mum that she must be back home before we eat dinner even if we'd finished preparing it a long time ago.

We were the ones that decided to be doing it like that because we loved eating as a family...

We didn't want a situation where our mum would come back home and start eating alone because we'd already eaten. We wanted us to be eating together while conversing at the same time.

I was watching TV along with my sister currently. Yes, I better use this to pass time while waiting for our mum to arrive home so we could eat dinner.

Our mum finally arrived home after the passing of a few minutes. I was so happy to see that she'd arrived home because we'd be able to eat dinner now.

We greeted her after she stepped foot into the house, which she responded to with a smile on her face. Then she undressed and went into the bathroom to shower so she'd feel refreshed.

She came out of the bathroom feeling so refreshed after she was done showering. And right now, all three of us were eating dinner as a family while conversing.

"So, Lucas, how was school today?". My mum inquired of me with her gaze focused on me.

"School was fine". I responded.

"That's nice to hear". She voiced out again, nodding her head a little.

The television was still on, so we were watching TV while eating, and conversing at the same time...

I'd be clearing off our remaining house rent soon. And as I was glancing at my mum, I was wondering whether I should tell her.

Well, I decided not to tell her now, I'd tell her later when I was ready to pay it. I wanted it to be as a shock to her, I wanted her to be surprised.

I know she was going to ask me where I got the money from, and I was going to simply lie to her just as I lied to Julia when she asked me a similar question.

We kept on eating while conversing and watching TV until we were done eating. And after we were done eating, Julia cleared off all the plates.

Then I noticed our mum walk toward one of the chairs in our one-bedroom apartment, sat on it, and began thinking. I'm sure part of what she must be thinking about was the completion of our house rent.

..I'm sure she didn't want the landlord to come here again and end up carrying some of our properties this time.

Seeing this made me decide on something at that moment,

'I'd be completing the payment of our house rent tomorrow. I need my mum to stop thinking about it'.

Yes, since I had a good amount of money in my bank account currently, I didn't see any need to waste time, I should complete the payment tomorrow.

My mum already had a lot on her plate, more shouldn't be adding to it...

******

The next day had arrived, and it hadn't been that long since I got up from bed and began preparing for school.

I'd already taken my bath and brushed my teeth by now. Then I dressed up in one of the new clothes I bought yesterday along with a trouser, then I matched up everything with nice-looking shoes that I purchased yesterday as well.

After styling my hair and so on, I took my debit card and kept it in one of my pockets because I'd be needing it today as well. My phone was also in my pocket.

After wearing my school bag and walking toward where my plate of food was to eat breakfast before leaving the house, my mum set eyes on me and the clothes and shoes that I was putting on.

She knew that I didn't own these clothes before, just as Julia did yesterday. And she was wondering who gave them to me.

If I bought them, then she was wondering how I was able to afford them.

I'd already noticed that she was staring at my clothes and shoes, and I was expecting her to ask me a question regarding them, which she did.

"Lucas, where did you get these clothes and shoes that you're wearing?".

"I bought them mum". I responded to her question.

"You bought them? Where did you see the money to buy them because these things look quite expensive?".

"I'd explain everything to you when we meet at dusk. As for now, I need to eat breakfast and leave for school".

"Would you still need me to give you pocket money?". My mum inquired of me once again.

"Yes, I need you to do so, I don't have any cash on me right now". I answered.

Though a good $35,000 was credited into my bank account yesterday, I hadn't withdrawn any of it. And I'd used up all the money my mum gave to me yesterday.

So I needed her to give me money now so I'd be able to board a bus to school at least...

"Okay".

And after saying that, she handed some dollars over to me which I didn't waste time to put into my pocket. I was going to shock her and Julia at dusk...and I couldn't wait to do so.

We ate breakfast as a family, and after we were done eating, I was the first person to leave the house. I boarded a bus that would drive me to the boulevard where my school was situated.

And it didn't take long for the bus to arrive there as I paid up before hopping out of the bus and began walking toward my school since I was already super close to it.

I was still walking when some expensive cars drove past me. Cars like Range Rover, Porsche, and so on...

Yeah, I was already used to this, it was a norm. Students were just sitting comfortably in the cars as their drivers or parents were driving them to school.

"They're living the life". I muttered to myself, glancing at the cars that just drove past me.

I kept on walking until I arrived at my school. I was walking on the school compound currently along with other students. And while still walking, I heard someone call my name from behind, and the voice was so familiar,

"Lucas".

I glanced back to see the person who just called out my name, and it was, Eric. Yes, I was expecting it to be him because I'd already recognized his voice...
