Both my parents and my brother looked at him. He had a black shirt and trousers on as if he came for an interview. His shoulder length hair combed behind and he looked dashing. That was new...

I have always seen him in jeans and t-shirts.

I narrowed my gaze at him. My mother yanked away her hand and glared at him. He was taller than my father and even when he was glaring at Callahan, it seemed more like he was intimidating my father instead.

"What-what are you doing here?" I asked in a low voice.

"Well, of course to meet your family." He said smiling.

"And how do you know we came?" My father asked with doubtful gazes.

"Miory told me," Callahan simply answered.

I furrowed my brows as my mother asked, "Who is that?"

"Err..." A voice came as we all looked in the direction and there she was standing by my bedroom door in her formal dress yet she was looking presentable and beautiful. "Hello, I am Miory," she said shyly.

My dad asked me, "Does she live here with you?" It seemed all of his worry was released as soon as he saw another girl instead of a boy.

"No, I came to check on her. Well, we often visit each other," she answered with a very sweet voice and it was impossible to guess that she was a Devil.

As there were others present, my mom and dad immediately changed their behavior however, the bathroom door opened and came out Gretarioth. All of us stiffened as he came out and feigned being surprised.

"Well, Hello. Wow everyone seemed ready, I see," he said, making Callahan's features darkened. And I knew, Gretarioth came to ruin it. Damn that devil!

"Who is he?" My father asked in a shocked yet angry expression.

"Well, I am Callahan's brother. Nice to meet you."

"And Miory's husband," Callahan added to get revenge on him as both Miory and Gretarioth cringed but Callahan glared at Miory and she immediately agreed, "Yes, he is my husband."

I thought she was a devil of chaos then why did she get scared of Callahan? Then I recall she was working under him.

"Because she is a second generation devil and she doesn't have enough power to go against me," Callahan said in a low voice enough for me to hear.

My dad and mom both nodded as they smiled at them. "So, what's the occasion for your friends to accumulate here?"

I stood there helplessly and tried to run my mind but could not come up with an excuse when Callahan replied, "It is a small birthday party."

"Who's birthday?" Gretarioth asked and all of us glared at him. It seemed he came here to ruin everything purposely as he smirked at us.

"It is Droy's birthday," I said.

"There is one more?" My mom asked as I said, "We-we are planning to surprise him so we were preparing for that." I nodded nervously.

"And he hasn't arrived yet," Callahan added as he said to me, "Carson, why didn't you ask your parents to take their seats? They are standing since I came."

I looked at him with round eyes and noticed my parents were a bit pleased with what he said.

"I-I forgot." I said with a stumbling voice as Miory said to them, "Please, take your seats. It was really rude of us."
