The Eternal Bound-Chapter 50: A Home Visit

"So how was it?"

Triqi listened seriously to all her friends' chats. They were discussing where they would carry out their assignment. But there was no house they could use. They looked confused until Triqi hesitantly offered herself.

"If you don't mind, we can do it at my house. You've never been to my house, right?" Triqi offered carefully. Her heart kept screaming for her friends to visit her house. She was always jealous, seeing children her age talking about whose house they should go to that day. Triqi wanted to experience it too, no matter how angry Valan might be with her.

Besides, Valan had also brought his group of friends to their house several times. That meant Triqi could too, right?

Nathan was the first to nod enthusiastically. Followed by Christine, the beautiful girl who had been sitting in front of Triqi all this time.

"Good idea! I've always been curious about your house, Triqi," Christine said excitedly. The others also nodded in agreement. When else would they be able to see Triqi's private life?

Nathan smiled broadly, "Then it's decided. We'll go to Triqi's house after school later," he said, which was answered by nods from the others.

"Mom already told me that after school, you will go home with the pick-up car with your friends."

As usual, Valan's face was bent when they had lunch. Even though Triqi had taken the initiative to sit on Valan's lap this time she knew Valan would sulk because of this little thing.

"Your car can only fit two people, Valan. The trip from school to home is only a short one. You don't need to be so excessive."

Valan didn't answer. He was instead busy smelling the cherry scent coming from Triqi's soft hair. For him, Triqi was unfair. She deliberately contacted their mother first before Elyna separately contacted Valan. She was giving Valan an understanding not to disturb Triqi's group work.

Triqi always remembered that Valan would not be able to refute Elyna's words.

Triqi chuckled, seeing Valan's sulking face. Her lips briefly kissed Valan's lips before Triqi lightly drank the blood in her bottle again.

"Don't make that face. You've had me all the time. Now let me be happy for a while, okay? I'm yours forever, but they'll only know me for a while. Are you still angry after knowing this fact?" Triqi comforted softly. Valan looked thoughtful before hugging Triqi even tighter.

"You're mine. Only mine, Triqi," Valan muttered softly. Triqi nodded. "Yes, I'm yours," she answered, already used to Valan's possessive nature.

"So? What are you going to pick us up in? Is that a limousine? I've always wanted to ride that car," Christine said excitedly, which was answered with a small chuckle from Triqi. She liked her friends' cheerful nature. It made her slowly become cheerful, like herself before her powers awakened.

Speaking of powers...

"Um, Triqi. Isn't your... boyfriend wasn't bored of watching us all this time? That face of his..... how is it? It scares the rest of us," Nathan said nervously. His eyes glanced at Valan, who looked at him with disapproval. Laughing awkwardly, Nathan even wondered why the sharp-eyed man already hated him when they had never formally met.

Triqi glanced back. Just introducing Valan as a boyfriend and not her family was difficult. But because of Valan's stubbornness, Triqi is often faced with situations where she has to make up another lie.

Sighing, she tried to give her friend a regretful smile.

"Can you guys just ignore him? Um... You know, he sometimes worries too much about me and likes to think badly of people close to me. But I can assure you, Valan is a good person even though he is strict."

They looked at Valan who was staring at them with an annoyed look, then at Triqi who looked distressed. They finally smiled. They didn't want to trouble Triqi any further.

Luckily their pick-up car arrived not long after. It breaks the awkwardness between them.

As Triqi requested, their pick-up car was only a black SUV car. Simple for Triqi, but enough to amaze her friend and get into the car with enthusiasm. Triqi sat in the front seat, watching how Valan was still staring at her sharply before the man finally got into his car. Driving slowly, following Triqi's car from behind.

They arrived not long after. It took quite a while for Triqi to bring her friends in immediately, because well. They were fixated on the beautiful view in front of them. They even thought that the big gate they were about to enter earlier was the villa of a state official. Which turned out to be Triqi's house.

"Come on, our group work won't be finished if you-"

Triqi had just opened the big door when a beautiful girl with long blonde hair lunged at Triqi hard. Luckily, Triqi was immediately held back by Nathan. Because really, the girl was so enthusiastic about hugging Triqi that she almost fell earlier.

"I miss you, Triqi!" said the girl happily. Her Barbie-like face looked at Triqi happily before realizing that her cousin was not alone and released their hug.

Nathan and the others looked at the girl until they forgot to blink. At that moment, they thought. Is Triqi's family filled with charming people only?

"Who are they, Triqi?" asked the girl confused. Her tilted head made she looked even cuter. Making the men secretly feel their throats itch.

"They are my classmates. Everyone, let me introduce her to my cousin, Illya" said Triqi, introducing the girl. Illya smiled politely. She was bowing slightly while introducing herself.

"My name is Illya Silva Braven. Nice to meet you," she greeted politely. Christine's eyes immediately widened until she unconsciously pointed at Illya.

"Y-you're that pro model?! That Illya?!" Christine exclaimed in disbelief. Illya seemed to be thinking before answering cheerfully.

"If you mean Illya, who works as a model, yes. That's me."

Christine still seemed to not believe what she saw. She immediately unpacked her bag. Taking out a small book and pen from there.

"Can I have your autograph?" she asked nervously. She didn't expect Illya to smile widely. "Of course!" she replied as she started writing her signature.

The others also scrambled to follow Christine. Until they didn't realize someone had just come down from the second floor.

"Are you alone, Triqi? Where's Valan?"

Hearing the strange voice, they stopped arguing. A tall woman with a beautiful face like Illya came down the stairs. She was looking charming and beautiful at the same time.

"Mommy!"

They had not yet finished their surprise when Illya called the woman. Eir smiled softly, then just gave in when his daughter hung on her hand.

"Ah. We have guests. I'll call Elyna first. You bring your friend to the living room, Triqi."

"Okay, Aunty," answered Triqi while occasionally glancing at her friends who had not fully recovered from their surprise.

"He's my aunt, Illya's mom," said Triqi informing them. They nodded. Still fixated on Eir and Illya, who went back up to the second floor.

"Damn you, Triqi. No wonder your faces are so pretty. Your family consists of all attractive people. What good deeds did you do that God has blessed you with prosperity?" Nathan grumbled. Triqi laughed lightly, leading them to the living room, where the table was filled with delicious-looking food.

Christine's eyes sparkled. She glanced at Triqi meaningfully and cheered happily when Triqi allowed her to taste them. They seemed satisfied with the meal there until they didn't realize someone had just entered the living room.

"Ah... so you are Triqi's friends. Do you like the cake?"

Hearing that soft voice, they stopped. Staring in amazement at the slender figure with a youthful face who was smiling at them.

"Uh, yes. Please forgive them, Ms." Nathan was the first to answer. He was rubbing his neck awkwardly.

"No, no. Please eat the food as much as you like. I made it because I wanted to thank the people who have become my daughter's friends."

"Yes," Triqi had just answered when Val also entered the room. He stopped to look at Triqi, but she still had a sulky face when she saw him.

"What group work are you doing?" the authoritative voice was heard. Now it was the girls' turn to scream in their hearts, seeing Val's handsomeness. They were sure now. Triqi's beautiful face was inherited from her mother and father. They were a perfect family.

"That... the teacher assigned us to create a nonprofit fundraising strategy."

Now, it was Christine's turn to answer enthusiastically. Her eyes looked at Val with an adoring gaze, which was returned by the handsome man's nod.

Val returned to focusing on her daughter. She got closer to Triqi, who flinched when Val stroked her hair gently.

"Ask Eir or Illya for help if you have any trouble. They are good at that kind of thing."

Triqi nodded slightly, holding Val's hand to lower it from Triqi's head.

"I-I know...." Triqi squeaked softly. Her eyes were still reluctant to look at Val. But at least now Val was relieved. Triqi was no longer that angry with him.

"Then enjoy your time."

The two of them went out after giving that greeting. Back to taking care of their respective affairs.

After they left. They immediately dropped their bodies on the sofa. Sighing, a little jealous of how perfect Triqi's family was.

"So, when do we start working?"

And Triqi's innocent voice actually made them even worse.

"Wait a minute, Triqi. We have to neutralize our hearts first after being attacked by charming faces several times. Oh my God... what was my dream that I had to get this much pleasure?" Christine muttered dramatically. While Triqi herself just looked confused.

They are happy, right? Playing at her house...
