Chapter 5 : Since you all are so nice!

The first one to talk is, of course, Aunt Kate. I rested my head on Theo's shoulder as I silently watched the scene unfold.

"I know you are mad, but we have a reason for that." Laswell starts as she takes the gift she brings with her, then gets up from her seat to give it to my brother before she sits again.

"So to make it up for you, each of us brings a gift for you. And yes, I'm 100% sure you will like it very much." Theo tilts his head at the mention of how Aunt Kate sounds so confident about it. I give both Laswell and Price a warning look, but they only shrug, then let my brother open the first gift from Laswell.

"Open up and tell us if you like it." She smiled at him as he looked down at the gift in hand. He slightly looked at me, to which I replied with a nod and a kiss on his cheek.

Then he slowly and carefully unwrapped the wrapper. Once he sees something black, his face is already lit up, and he quickens his action until all the wrappers are finally off.

When he sees the things on his hand, his jaw drops as he looks up at Aunt Kate. "Are you sure giving me this?" He asked as he couldn't believe what Laswell got him.

"Of course, Theo. It's yours. It's the magazines from my last mission." She lets out a soft smile as Theo looks down at the two magazines in his hands.

He stroked the black things before he showed it to me, as if I couldn't see it already. I give him yet another kiss on the cheek. "And what do we say?"

He quickly looks at Laswell again, "Спасибо, тетя!"

After that, it's Price turns. He gets up and gives Theo quite a big gift. As he seated himself again, Theo was already on his way to opening the gift. He's fast enough because he seems impatient with it, and when the wrappers come off of the thing, it's revealing a red suitcase.

I furrowed my brow at this. When my brother opened it, there was a laptop. I assume it is one that Price used back then. Theo looked very happy about that. He looks up at Price and gives him a big smile. "Can I turn it on?"

"Of course, little guy. But it's a bit laggy because that one is an old version." I look at Price with a warning look, signaling to him that I don't like it. He seems to notice this, and he chuckles at me. "Don't worry, darling. I have already removed all the important things. And what's left is just to give him a rough idea of what the laptop could do."

I still didn't like it, so I moved to look at Aunt Kate. She only gave me a shrug, which made me roll my eyes at her. "Do you like it, sweetheart?" I asked as I rubbed his hair.

He happily nodded as his eyes roamed around the laptop. I let out a sigh at the sight, as long as my brother liked it. Once he's done admiring it, he closes the suitcase and places it beside Laswell's magazines. "Спасибо, John!" He looks up at him, flashing him his sweet smile. I couldn't hold myself as I kissed his cheek once again while tightening my arms around him. My little angel is just so cute. I can't help it.

He giggles at me before he gets out of my embrace, which confused me. "I want to sit by myself." He said, then sat himself on the floor in front of the table. I frowned a little at his decision, but I shrugged it off and leaned back against the sofa as I watched him.

The next one is Gaz. But before we could continue, Rio came with a chef behind him, holding a tray of food. I let them place it on the table. Then a maid comes with a little table, and Rio proceeds to move the already opened gift to that table-with Theo's permission, of course-and then places the snacks on the rectangular glass-like table. Replacing the gift.

After that, he excuses himself and the chef, then goes back to the kitchen. "Please at least test the snack; if you don't like it, I will tell the chef to make another." Right after I said that, Rio comes back with another chef, holding two pitchers, one filled with tea and another filled with coffee. While Rio himself is holding a glass of orange juice. Obviously, for Theodore.
