CHAPTER 39 💦
JACQUES KNEW that Cloud's family was rich, but he didn't know they were this rich. He could tell that Cloud's family lives in luxury the moment he stepped inside the house. Their home was much more grander than his family's house in Seville. How Cloud agreed to be The Count's Butler when he's this rich, he doesn't know.
"Por favor, make yourself comfortable." Ani Jada sa Marquess ng maka-upo ang Marquess sa mahabang sofa sa salas. Jada was Cloud's mother. "Mi casa es su casa." My home is your home.
Jacques smiled at Cloud's mother. "Gracias."
"We're not late for dinner, are we, Mamá?" Tanong ni Cloud na kababalik lang sa salas mula sa kusina para ikuha siya ng tubig.
"No, mi hijo," ani Jada na pinagmamasdan ang anak nitong kumuha ng tubig sa kusina at ibinigay sa Marquess. Seeing her son being attentive and caring to someone other than The Count, it made Jada smile, especially seeing the two wearing a couple shirt. "We'll just wait for your Papá and Sun to arrive. They're already on the way."
Natigilan sa pag-inom ng tubig si Jacques ng umupo sa tabi niya si Cloud — magkadikit na magkadikit ang mga hita nila.
Pasimple siyang dumistansiya dahil nasa harapan sila ng ina nito, pero sumunod pa rin sa kaniya ang gago kaya naman pasimpleng tiningnan niya ito ng masama na ikinatawa lang nito.
Napailing nalang siya saka inubos ang laman na tubig sa baso.
"Mi hijo, why don't you tour The Marquess around the house while waiting?" Suhestiyon ni Jada sa anak ng makitang hindi komportable ang Marquess.
"Sure." Kaagad na tumayo si Cloud at bahagyan pang yumukod sa Marquess, "if I may, my lord, let me tour you around in our simple abode."
Jacques fought the urged to roll his eyes at Cloud because Cloud's Mom was watching them. Ang ginawa niya, pinakalma niya ang sarili, inilapag ang baso na wala nang lamang tubig sa center table saka tumayo at sumunod kay Cloud.
Nang malayo na sila sa ina nito, kaagad niyang sininghalan ng pabulong si Cloud.
"What the fuck are you thinking bringing me here?!" He was half shouting, half whispering. He was nervous as fuck! "What the fuck, Cloud?!"
"Relax." Cloud said in a chill tone.
"Relax?!" Jacques hissed. "That's your fucking family, Cloud!"
"Nangako ako kay Mama na bibisitahin ko sila kapag bumalik ako rito sa Spain."
"Then why the fuck am I here for?!"
"To have dinner." Simpleng sagot ni Cloud, "ayokong iwan kang mag-isa sa Hotel. Ayoko. Hindi ako komportable kaya sinama kita."
Jacques blows a loud breath. "You should've told me, you asshole!"
"Kung sinabi ko sayo, tiyak na hindi ka sasama."
"Good that you know."
"So I didn't tell you." Cloud said with a proud grin.
"Fuck you." Akmang mumurahin pa ni Jacques si Cloud ng may makasalubong silang kasambahay at hindi nakatakas sa mapanuring mga mata ni Jacques ang pagtitig ng babae kay Cloud sabay pamumula ng pisngi nito.
Nalukot ang mukha ni Jacques. "Cloud, please tell me you didn't fuck any of your house helpers."
"Nope." Umiling pa ito. "Mom would kill me."
