3. Megatron
Bea, still recovering from her crying session, stands on the sidewalk as three enthusiastic Richards, in the middle of the road, start belting out a spirited but slightly off-key rendition of "Happy Birthday."
Passersby glanced over, some smiling at the unexpected spectacle. Bea's cheeks flush with a mix of amusement and mild embarrassment, but she can't help but laugh along with them.
As the Richards continued their off-key birthday serenade in the middle of the road, Bea, feeling increasingly embarrassed, had to intervene. She quickly ushered them inside their home.
Beatrice Belrose
Goood... Why are you three so aggressive?
Journey Richards
We have Richards blood in our veins.
Jerome Richards
Yesssss... Aunt Vivi was even crazier than us in her teenage years.
Beatrice Belrose
*facepalms*
What could be worse than world war?
Beatrice Belrose
The three Richards together.
All three of them burst into laughter, finding the humor in the situation. Meanwhile, Bea couldn't help but roll her eyes playfully, perhaps used to their antics but still amused by their infectious laughter.
Hillary Richards
Bea, I will tell you truthfully. they are not my children.
Beatrice Belrose
Haha... See, aunt Hil was embarrassed too.
Hillary Richards
I was not embarrassed because they were singing this song aloud in the middle of the road but because they have ugly voices.
Beatrice Belrose
Ohh damn. 🤦🏻♀️
Jerome Richards
Our mom is crazy like us, Bea. 😌
Beatrice Belrose
🤦🏻♀️ Yea, yea.
Dennis Richards Hernandez
By the way, I brought you a gift.
Bea tilted her head in warm surprise but also frowned as she had told him firmly not to bring her any gift
Ignoring Bea's reaction, Dennis disappeared into the kitchen briefly before emerging with a mysterious box. The sudden appearance of the box piqued everyone's curiosity and confusion. They all exchanged glances, wondering what Dennis could possibly be up to.
Beatrice Belrose
Dennnnnisss... what's inside... This must be costly.
Beatrice Belrose
I told you I don't need anything.
Dennis Richards Hernandez
*grins*
Open it.
Journey Richards
Yea open it fast... I have a gift for you too.
Jerome Richards
Yea... This man has kept this box in his room for 7 days.
Beatrice Belrose
*surprised*
You bought my gift 7 days ago...
Dennis Richards Hernandez
Aaa yea... Open it please. believe me, it's the best thing and you can't refuse it.
Beatrice Belrose
*sighs in defeat*
Fine.
Bea's expression shifted from surprise to delight as she opened the box and discovered the unexpected gift inside. Her eyes widened, and she smiled widely as she carefully retrieved the gift.
To everyone's shock, Bea revealed a hamster nestled in her hands.
Jerome Richards
A hamster....
*frowns*
Journey Richards
OMG... It's so adorable. How do you know she liked hamsters a lot.
Dennis Richards Hernandez
Well that's obvious... We talk a lot at night. So she mentioned it to me.
Beatrice Belrose
*looks at the hamster and kisses it*
I love you already.
Beatrice Belrose
what it is name?
Dennis Richards Hernandez
Huh?
Beatrice Belrose
It's name?
*looks up at him*
Dennis Richards Hernandez
Aaa... Yea... He was staying at my home for 7 days, so I gave him a name...
Dennis Richards Hernandez
it's Megatron.
*looks away*
Journey Richards
*jaw drops dramatically*
Wot?
Jerome Richards
*pats his shoulder*
We are men.
Beatrice Belrose
Uhh... Yea... Hi, Megatron.
Journey approached Dennis with narrowed eyes, glaring at him, and pointed her index finger directly at him, indicating her disapproval or demand for an explanation.
Journey Richards
That's my best friend, not yours.
Dennis Richards Hernandez
Ohh really?
To tease Journey, Dennis playfully wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him. Bea was taken aback by this sudden action and looked at Dennis with surprise or confusion.
Dennis Richards Hernandez
Now she is mine.
Beatrice Belrose
*looks down*
*blushing*
Jerome Richards
*sigh*
These kids.
As the chapter concluded, Journey and Dennis found themselves engaged in a heated bickering match, leaving Bea standing beside them, her cheeks flushed pink. She awkwardly attempted to shift her focus to Megatron, subtly maneuvering away from Dennis's firm grip on her shoulder.
