Chapter 356 – Angela Is Also My Girlfriend
Peaceful days without any ups and downs.
While living and having a good time with loved ones, the mansion of the Branzel family has been noisy for the first time in a while.
Me and my girlfriends, who are not easy to get together because there are so many people, have dinner together for the first time in a long time.
“Verita sister, this food is so delicious! Could you teach me the recipe next time?”
“Sure, Michelle. I’ll send you a message later. Miss Anna, you’re done. I’ll bring you a new one, so please wait.”
“Go, thank you.”
Anna, who quickly emptied her plate, bowed her head in embarrassment.
On the other side, Angela gave Hyejin her food.
“Miss Melissa, try this too.”
Everyone here was calling Hyejin Melissa.
Still, I was used to doing what I was doing, so I told people around me that it was another name for Melissa and kept calling me Hyejin.
“Ah, thank you, Ms. Angela.”
Hyejin wasn’t as shy as before when dealing with her lovers, but she was still as respectful as she was to Angela.
On the other hand, the outgoing Dranez treated everyone like a friend.
“Angela, me too!”
“Yes, Dranez. I’ll put it on the plate in front of you.”
It’s been quite a while since we got to know each other, and now all of our lovers have gotten along well enough to talk happily without me.
From what I’ve heard, women’s chatrooms are still running, and it seems that there are many cases where they meet and hang out with each other instead of me.
Sometimes it’s sad to play well without me, but it was much better than nine girlfriends arguing or fighting.
Conversing with Selena and Dania, who sat on either side of me with a relaxed mind, continuing their meal, Verita, who was up, drew her attention.
“Since the meal is almost over, I should tell you why I invited you all. If you haven’t finished eating yet, please feel free to eat and listen.”
As the gazes around her table focused on her, Verita continued her words.
“I invited you all because I wanted to make a suggestion. I would like to suggest that everyone here stay together in this house.”
People’s reactions varied.
‘Five!’ There were positive reactions like Michelle or Dranez admiring, and there were calm reactions like Hyejin thinking quietly.
Still, I didn’t see any negative reaction.
Including me who thinks ‘Isn’t that bad?’
“You want all ten of us to live here?”
“That’s right, lady.”
At Selena’s question, Verita nodded her head, followed by Angela’s voice.
“She’s been talking to me a few days ago by Verita. But she seems to be fine, so she’s calling you to ask too.”
“It’s as the president said. The women have become close enough, and I thought it would be nice to live together.”
It’s definitely not the timing to feel like it’s too early.
“Perhaps everyone has been taken aback, but to help you decide, let me explain some of the advantages of living together.”
Suddenly, the atmosphere changed from a friendly dinner to a serious presentation.
“First and foremost, staying together gives you a sense of psychological security. You can talk and eat and lean on each other. If you want some alone time, that’s okay. There are plenty of rooms here.”
That’s definitely a good thing.
Currently, Michelle, Dranez, and Hyejin are living alone, and there are times when I worry and worry.
In particular, she seemed better to Hyejin, who spent a long time alone.
“In addition to psychological, there are also practical advantages. The nation, the largest unit of modern communities, has more crisis management and response capabilities than individuals, as the number of members in it is large.”
At her words, Michelle nodded with a serious expression.
De Laneige near her also pouted her lips and nodded, pitting a peach on her chin.
I don’t know if she understands it properly.
“Of course we can’t compare it to the state, but if we stick together, we’ll get the stability that’s worth it. Just like it’s better if we face each other.”
I also affirmed and moved my head up and down.
In fact, I was still receiving help from this community.
Maybe it’s because they were by my side, I’ve never been in danger of death from any moment.
“Lastly… Maybe this will be the most relatable to you. Living in the same house with Ian means you can walk a short distance to see him. How do you feel?”
“I love it!”
Of course, the first person to actively speak out was Michelle.
Next, unexpectedly, Anna, who had been quiet until now, raised her hand.
“I-I like it too…”
Opinions that were good followed one after another, and they turned their eyes to me to hear my last remaining thoughts.
“Um, I…”
Being able to live in the same house with the people you love is, of course, nice.
They don’t even fight because of me, so why would they refuse?
But even so, there was something that bothered me.
“It’s so nice to live together, but wouldn’t it be easy to get caught as there are a lot of people? Like family…”
When I spoke carefully, she answered Michelle.
“I’m fine! If I tell my family, they’ll understand!”
“Really?”
“Yeah. My mom and dad and my sister love me so much. I don’t have to worry.”
You can feel the strong confidence in your voice and expression.
She wondered if it was because she was loved so much by her family that she was always overflowing with love.
The next person to speak was Airy, who was as quiet as her sister.
“Me and Anna are only sisters anyway, and it’s been a while since I’ve been in touch with her relatives, so it should be fine.”
Then Dania spoke.
“I haven’t revealed it to my parents yet, but it doesn’t matter. I’ve been living according to my parents’ wishes, so now I’m going to do what I want.”
“It’s okay, Dania. Maybe Dania’s parents will accept it if Mom says it.”
Selena’s story is probably because Dania’s family is the butler’s family of the venerable Branzel family.
“Angela. Is Angela’s family okay?”
She asked in a worried tone.
She had the image that members of a chaebol family would often check or care about each other.
“Yes, it’ll be fine. I don’t have any relatives in the first place, and after I took over the company and grew bigger, I have the most say. And is there an island you all went to before? I helped develop a resort on that island, so I won’t be able to say anything. .”
Because of her usual docile personality, she had forgotten that she was a great woman leading a conglomerate and a chaebol family.
Hyejin is alone and Dranez is the same, so in the end, I am the only one left.
Then, Hyejin asked.
“But even if we’re okay, will Ian be okay? Armelda-san will understand…”
That’s what bothered me the most.
If the son who had been neglected without help suddenly becomes his lover and brings nine of her girls, will her mother accept it?
Anyone can tell that her mother is a person who values principles and principles after just a few conversations with her.
I couldn’t even predict what would happen if I told that person that I was dating nine people at the same time.
You have the option of hiding it, but what if you get caught?
I have experienced several times in my life in this world that confessing first is several times better than hiding it and then getting caught.
As I fell into my thoughts with my mouth shut, the area around the table became quiet.
My boyfriend and I knew very well that it was so difficult to get our relationship recognized by others.
However.
… Yeah let’s talk
I ate my heart out and repeated it in my mind.
My girlfriends say they’re all fine, but I can’t tolerate things getting in the way because of me.
And since it would be hard to hide from my mother for the rest of my life anyway, and I wouldn’t cut ties, it seemed better to take care of it when there was an opportunity.
There are no parents who can win over their children, and they push forward with the thought that they will beat them to death.
“I’ll talk to you. I’ll do anything to convince you to allow us to be in a relationship.”
“Ian-ah, I’ll help you too! No, let’s get together and talk together. Ask for permission.”
“Together?”
When I asked back, Michelle replied vigorously.
“Yeah! Let Ian tell your mother how much we love you!”
Little by little, the others agreed with Michelle, and their opinions converged towards meeting her mother together with her.
“If we convince Armelda, will we even have a secret wedding?
“Oh, that’s great, Ms. Cindy!”
Cindy is her fake name for de la Naise to blend into her society, but Michelle was still calling her her Cindy.
It stuck to her mouth because she often called it that at school.
“Isn’t it right? Teacher Michelle is good too?!”
As if proving that they were good friends, the opinions of the women came together again.
Of course, my opinion was the same.
Marriage is a meaningful ceremony to promise to be with the person you love for the rest of your life.
There was no reason to refuse, but rather, I was overwhelmed by the fact that all of my lovers had decided to marry me.
“Okay. Then let’s talk to mom. Let’s get recognition between us and get permission for the wedding!”
They answered my words without the slightest hesitation.
In those eyes full of affection, I felt courage welling up in my heart.
—
The weekend came after a week.
I stood at the entrance of the mansion with a very nervous face.
I definitely got courage from my lovers, but when the day came, my heart raced like crazy.
Moments later, her mother, who had been waiting with a trembling heart, appeared in her usual suit.
“Oh, Mom. You’re here quickly.”
“I can’t make my opponent wait as I was invited. Let’s go.”
The mother, who does not yet know why she was invited, takes the lead without hesitation.
For a hat I haven’t seen in a long time, the conversation is too plain.
Thanks to that, I was more nervous, but I went inside the mansion with her mother without making any effort.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Verita, the president’s personal assistant.”
Verita politely bowed her head, and her mother followed suit.
“Nice to meet you. I want to say thank you for inviting me to Angela.”
“Yes. He’s waiting in the kitchen, so I’ll take you there.”
The surrounding air was too cold.
Even when she followed Verita into the kitchen, it was as if her mother froze around her every step she took.
We finally arrived at the table, and Angela, who spotted us, stood up from her seat and bowed to her.
“Oh, welcome, Armelda-sama. Thank you for coming.”
“No, thank you. I never expected to be invited to the Branzel family’s dinner.”
Verita, the butler and secretary, brought the prepared food to the table one by one, and sat down at the table for the rest.
But Angela stiffened with tension, and a heavy silence fell over her table.
When she tried to open her mouth because she didn’t want to stay like this, her mother’s mouth moved first.
“I just said that I am grateful for the Branzel family’s invitation, but I would also like to express my gratitude as a single mother.”
Angela asked.
“Uh, as a mother?”
“I heard from the chairman that he took care of Ian while paying his salary. Thank you very much for doing what I, the mother, could not do for me.”
The owner of this house hastily shook his hand.
“Oh, no. We just needed a male butler. On the contrary, I’m more grateful for Mr. Ian’s hard work.”
“I’m just glad my son didn’t bother me, but I’m relieved to hear he was helpful. But he… Can I ask why he invited you?”
Eventually the time has come.
While the two of them were talking, I took a few deep breaths and made up my mind several times before speaking.
“Mom, she actually invited me here because she had something to say.”
“…What to say? What is it?”
When he asked directly, his trembling lips hardly came off.
Still, he forced his lips together and raised his voice.
“Hey, I’d like to introduce you to my girlfriend.”
“A girlfriend. Is she here with Anna?”
“If you look at it, you’ll understand… Hey, guys!”
“Guys…?”
She fixed her eyes on her hallway, trying to avoid her mother’s bewildered gaze.
After a while, a very scared Anna came into the kitchen from the hallway.
“Anna, long time no see.”
Her mother’s expression was relatively bright.
Thanks to knowing that I was dating her Anna, in the process of catching her evil witch named El Tanya before.
However, when he saw the women following Anna, her expression gradually became confused.
“Who are you…”
Women lined up in the kitchen.
Her mother’s face became more complex as time went by, and her eyes fluttered ceaselessly when she saw the last two people entering her.
“Meh, Melissa and Dranez? Why are you…”
Verita, who was waiting after carrying her food, also joined her other lovers, and I looked up and talked cautiously.
“Mom… They are my girlfriends.”
“Girlfriends…? All these people?”
I nodded without making eye contact, when I heard a voice in disbelief.
“This is absurd… This is, from what I remember, known as the Branzel family’s daughter.”
Surprised to see her Selena, her mother turned her head to Angela.
“Angela. What’s the situation? My son is dating people here. Did you know?”
“Yes….”
“But how can you be so calm… You can’t play such a childish prank. Did you allow it? Miss Angela’s daughter is also standing over there?”
To my mother, who said she couldn’t believe it, I spoke instead of Angela.
“Mom, that’s…”
“Wait, Ian. I’m not asking you, but Angela.”
“No, not that.”
“Quiet.”
A strong will to hear an explanation of the situation from Angela.
Still, I didn’t give up.
Because I decided to reveal the truth here.
“Angel is also my girlfriend.”
“…What?”
Slowly, Angela got up from her seat and stood at the end of the line of lovers.
“Nonsense….”
The mother’s mouth opened with her sigh and did not close even after several seconds.
