Reincarnated as a Fisherman and a Dad Chapter 99
The four ate their fill. Fortunately, Karlos knew how to use cutlery because of his past life, which gave him unexpected advantages in situations like this. Most of the time, he used a spoon and fork, but since there was a steak in front of him, he needed a steak knife, which he handled with natural ease.
He didn't seem awkward eating despite being surrounded by wealth, although his appearance was clearly out of place compared to the other men dressed in vacation outfits.
While the four men were eating, the maids, including Mrs. Wanda, couldn't help but glance at Karlos and Roman. The resemblance was obvious, especially from certain angles.
Claire confirmed her conjecture, feeling thrilled by her discovery. Roman and Karlos were related. Furthermore, the fact that they were eating together showed that they were close, closer than she originally assumed.
Her mind started working, filled with greed and ambition. Last month, she slowly gathered information about Karlos and was disappointed that he was only a fisherman, a low-income job by her standards. However, she admitted that he was attractive and had a masculine charm that appealed to her. She was hesitant to go full seduction because she cherished her job, which provided stability.
But now, she had made a decision: she would seduce Karlos as soon as possible, believing this was her chance. The money she could get if Karlos inherited a few million pesos from the Alejandro family was enough to satisfy her greed and change her life entirely.
In fact, when Claire learned that the young masters would visit the villa, she immediately returned to her room and put on makeup to be more pleasing to the eyes, hoping someone would notice her. She was confident in her beauty, which she believed was her strongest asset. Unfortunately, she still had to wear a tacky maid uniform and couldn't show her nice curves.
"Karlos, you're probably confused about why we are here." Larry started the conversation once they were done eating. The maids served them dessert, chocolate ice cream. Larry slightly frowned because the ice cream tasted too artificial. Clearly, it was a cheap-ass brand of ice cream, perhaps Nestle. That company was one of the most evil ones in the world, aside from Shell.
But since he knew it was his fault for contacting the maids too late, he let it slide. Instead, he put down the ice cream, uninterested in eating it. Even Roman and Marcos didn't like the ice cream, only Karlos was eating since, to him, sweets were still sweets. The maids were a bit nervous about their reactions.
"You own this villa. I don't see any reason why you have to visit it. This place is yours."
"Indeed, indeed." Larry laughed, brushing it off.
"Larry, thank you for letting our family stay here. It means a lot to me. The fact that you didn't ask for payment eased our savings a lot."
"I'm happy to hear that. You saved my life, the help I offered isn't even enough to pay you back." Larry didn't elaborate, but his sincerity was clear.
"Still, thank you."
"Small matters," Larry waved his hand, as if it meant nothing.
"Well then, the reason why we visited the villa is because of my older brother. He wants to see you personally and thank you."
"I also have business with Karlos," Roman added.
"You too?"
"Yeah, I just thought about it a moment ago. I'll talk to him later."
"Alright. Bring us wine. The most expensive one."
"Yes, young master." Daisy and Claire lowered their heads and went to the wine cellar, grabbing the most expensive wine in their collection.
"By the way, I haven't seen your twins. Children's Blessed Day just passed, and I still haven't given them gifts, so I prepared gifts for them." Larry grinned and signaled a crew member who was in the living room. The crew members stood quietly, trained to be silent and invisible.
The crew member presented two small boxes, beautifully wrapped.
"You don't have to. It's already enough that you let us live in the villa, really." Karlos didn't know what to say. This was too much to accept.
"Karlos, please, I want to do this. Let me, as a friend."
Larry turned to Mrs. Wanda. "Please bring Maya and the twins to the dining room. I want to present my gifts to the twins."
"Hey Larry, you didn't tell me about this. If I knew, I would have also prepared something." Marcos sounded disappointed. He also wanted to give the children gifts and now felt left out. "In the first place, you didn't tell me that Karlos has children."
"You're at fault. You didn't ask."
"This bastard..."
"What about you, Roman? You brought gifts, right? You know that Karlos has two children." Larry turned to Roman, ignoring his older brother's frustration.
"Is money acceptable?" Roman admitted he didn't think about gifts.
"Hah!" Larry scoffed. "It seems like I'm the only one who has a heart. You guys don't have any sympathy at all. Shame on you."
"Don't make it look like you're a saint. You just want to show off."
A few minutes later, Maya and Mrs. Wanda entered, each carrying a child. Maya felt awkward and glanced at Karlos, who also had no idea how to act in this situation. Karlos just nodded, promising her that nothing bad was happening.
"You guys are here! These are my gifts for Arabella and Iñigo. I feel like toys are too cheap, so I decided to buy them gold bracelets instead. It's a matching bracelet with the symbol of a dragon and a tiger, perfect for twins."
"T-Thank you," Maya muttered. "But I think letting us live in the villa without rent is already enough. You helped us a lot. Thank you."
"Nah, just accept them. Here."
Larry didn't bother listening and handed each kid a small box. Iñigo looked at the box curiously, frowning in confusion at the unfamiliar object. Arabella shook the box before biting it, thinking it was food, as usual.
"Mama!" She called for Maya and asked for help opening the box.
Left with no choice, Maya opened it and confirmed that it was a tiny gold bracelet with a dragon design.
"Bah!" When Arabella realized it wasn't food, she scoffed and turned her head away, clearly disappointed.
"Haha, this kid is really something."
Roman stood up and pulled out his wallet. He didn't bother counting the money. He simply handed it to Maya without hesitation.
"This money is for the kids. Just a small amount. Divide it later. Happy belated Children's Blessed Day."
Maya was stunned, and so was Karlos. Based on the thickness of the bills Roman gave, it was at least 20,000 pesos... Karlos couldn't believe that his daily earnings were just pocket change for Roman.
The four ate their fill. Fortunately, Karlos knew how to use cutlery because of his past life, which gave him unexpected advantages in situations like this.
