27 Chapter 26

'Hmm? Yuri is smiling...' Paris thought as he looked at the omega standing next to him. He then looked straight to see what Yuri was looking at and saw Theodore laughing with Chester.

"You're so dead," Theodore chuckled as he squinted his eyes and jokingly glared at his cousin. "I don't think so? I'm gonna tell on your mom, haha," Chester laughed and hurriedly ran further inside.

"Who's that...?" Yuri mumbled under his breath as he watched Theodore chase after Chester. "Chester Lee. He's Chesca's twin," Paris said as he leaned his face close to Yuri's ear.

Weirdly enough, instead of being all flustered and shy like last time, Yuri felt so startled like someone just caught him committing a crime.

"Oh... Really?" Yuri said as he looked at Paris. "Yup. Shall we continue walking?" Paris said as he put his arm over Yuri's shoulders.

The omega felt like his heart would burst from happiness as he nodded. He was all smiles as they continued walking.

The further they walked, the more Yuri realized how wealthy Chesca's family is. It was like he was walking into a house he's only ever seen on TV.

He wasn't paying much attention to his surroundings earlier, but now that he is, he began to notice that the space outside the house was huge. There was a huge fountain in front of the neoclassical architecture-style house.

Just the outside appearance of the house was screaming that a really wealthy family lives there. Aside from the house's appearance, he also noticed that there were three cars parked outside their house.

"Are there a lot of guests already?" Yuri asked as he glanced at Paris. "Oh, haha," Paris chuckled upon hearing Yuri's question. 'Right... He wouldn't know about this 'cause it's his first time here,' he thought.

"No, it's just Chesca's friends and family, for now. The other guests will probably arrive later since the party doesn't start until 7 pm," Paris answered. "Whose cars are those? Your driver just dropped us off, right?" Yuri asked.

"Those are Uncle Tristan's cars. He's Chesca's dad, and let me tell you this, he's seriously got an insane number of cars. Those aren't everything he has. They have a basement parking space where he parks his most treasured cars. The ones that you see here are probably just the cars he let his employees borrow," Paris explained.

'I thought Chesca's family was rich, but I didn't think it was to this extent,' Yuri gulped, feeling a bit pressured.

Before Yuri even knew it, they were already standing by the front door. Paris opened the door and went in first as he held the door so Yuri could enter.

Yuri blushed as he thought that Paris was such a gentleman. Little did he know, Paris actually picked it up from Theodore, who was his role model in acting like a gentleman.

Although Theodore doesn't brag and show his gentlemanly demeanor as much right now, he's actually one of the most gentlemanly people his friends know of.

As soon as Yuri had gone in, Paris closed the door and continued walking with Yuri, guiding him to where the others were.

Marble floors and simple yet luxurious-looking furniture, the inside of the house was telling Yuri that the people living there weren't nouveau rich. They were obviously from a family that has been already wealthy for generations.

They weren't trying to impress their guests, but their guests would be undeniably impressed once they set foot inside.

"Daddy! I can't find my ribbon!" A loud high-pitched scream echoed. Paris, who wasn't even biologically related to the person who just screamed, felt embarrassed upon hearing it.

"I'm sorry for that..." he whispered to Yuri as his ears turned red.

A light brown-haired girl wearing a champagne pink-colored frilly dress was standing by the staircase, glaring at the man, who was sitting on the sofa.

"Honey... I don't even know what that ribbon looks like. Why don't you ask your maid if she's seen your ribbon, hmm?" the man said as he stood up.

A rather hot older version of Theodore started walking towards the girl. "I already asked. She doesn't know where it is. Ugh!" The girl frowned even more.

"That man... He's Uncle Xander, Theodore's dad. And that girl, she's Tatiana Greene, Theodore's sister. She's the biggest brat I know," Paris let out a sarcastic chuckle, showing his dislike towards Theodore's sister.

'Finally... I'm finally meeting a typical rich spoiled girl. I thought people like that were only on TV,' Yuri thought as he found the girl amusing. The moment Yuri decided to study at Chen Academy, he had a prejudice against rich people, but he was actually wrong about them when he already knew them personally.

"Let's just ask your mom later, okay? Just use a different ribbon for now," Xander said as he guided the girl to go up the stairs.

'Seriously... That girl is so embarrassing to be with. I'm amazed Theo hasn't disowned her yet, haha,' Paris thought.

"Come, let's head to where Chesca is," Paris said as he put his arm over Yuri's shoulder once again. "Shouldn't we greet him? Isn't he Theodore's dad?" Yuri asked as they started walking again. "Let's save the greetings for later. That bra— erm... That girl will make a fuss if she can't find another ribbon as soon as possible," Paris smiled, pretending as if he didn't almost call Tatiana a brat.

Yuri and Paris continued walking, and because the house was too big, Yuri forgot from which direction they were from. After a few more seconds of walking, they finally reached the garden where Chesca was.

"Hmm, I don't think this is enough for the first batch. I recall asking for 25 servings of this," a beautiful middle-aged black-haired man said to a man dressed in a dress shirt and vest as he looked at the food on the table.

"I apologize for the mistake, Sir Justin. I'll let the chef know," the man said as he bowed his head. "It's alright. There's still plenty of time, and I'm pretty sure Chesca wouldn't mind if this dish is a bit delayed," Justin smiled.

"He's Uncle Justin, Chesca's mom. And that man standing by the pond over there," Paris said as he looked at the man standing by the pond.

'I think Paris is mistaken. There's no way that's a pond. That looks like a lake,' Yuri thought as he looked at the big pond that Paris was talking about.

"He's Tristan Lee, Chesca's dad. It would be nice if you familiarize their names 'cause I think you'd frequent here since you're Chesca's friend," Paris smiled at Yuri.

'Yuri would definitely go here a lot since Chesca doesn't invite just anyone to her house...' Paris thought as they walked.

"Oh, and that man... You're probably familiar with him since he's an actor. He's—" Before Paris could even mention the man's name, Yuri cut him off by saying the man's name himself.

"Troy Lee... He's Troy Lee, isn't he?" Yuri said with trembling eyes as his heart raced from excitement.

It's the first time he's ever seen a celebrity in real life, and it's even his favorite actor! It was like a dream come true to him until reality slapped him in the face.

"Yeah. He's Theodore's mom."
