Chapter 3：A Truly Disgusting Person

Calvin was beaten to a pulp.

If not for his mother's intervention then Calvin would've been sent to the hospital.

"Son... Why did you... Why did you do this? Tell me why Calvin?"

His mother cried her heart out as she treated Calvin's wounds.

His father really didn't go easy on him. He beat him up as if Calvin wasn't his own child. Actually, ever since Calvin started on his road of addiction to playing video games and dropped out of college. His father already considered him a lost cause. Of course, his father did everything that he could do to stop Calvin from falling deeper into depravity.

But Calvin wasn't having it all. He remained adamant until he was now truly estranged by his father.

"Mom... Why would you bother caring about that trash? Just give him enough money for his daily expenses and I bet that he would be willing to forget that we are his family. After all, he only comes back home whenever he runs out of money!" A feminine voice rang out from behind.

Calvin turned to look at the source of the voice and he discovered his sister.

Yes, standing there was her lovely sister.

Calvin was instantly choked with emotions.

Before he fell to depravity his sister loved him so much...

But after Calvin stole her tuition fees a few years ago which made her unable to take her school tests in time.

She now hated him to the core.

But despite being treated like this, Calvin had no other feelings for her sister other than regret and grief.

He didn't blame her at all.

He had no right to do so.

He was a video game addicted piece of garbage that didn't even deserve to live due to the number of despicable acts he committed.

But in the end, he was the one who lived.

He lived far longer than his family.

He lived to see the end times of Humanity.

Calvin felt a sharp pain on his chest.

Her sister, Emily threw a high-heeled shoe at him.

The heel of the shoe struck Calvin squarely at his chest, yet he didn't even wince in pain.

He raised his head and his miserable appearance elicited a violent response from Emily.

"You bastard... You stole my tuition money again! How am I supposed to take the upcoming tests next month? Are you still even human? How could you do something like this? Do you still treat us as your family?" She pointed her finger at him and started her rant.

Yvette, Calvin's mother could do nothing other than cry.

They were trying their best to set Calvin in the right direction, but if the person himself wasn't willing to change.

Then, what was the use of their efforts?

Calvin stared at his mother and sister, complex emotions flashed across his face.

His eyes then wandered towards a small frame atop a nearby cabinet.

The picture frame contained the figures of four people.

Looking at it, Calvin's emotions underwent another upheaval.

Within the image were the figures of the members of the Villanueva family.

Calvin Villanueva stood upright, a warm smile could be seen on his face making everyone feel refreshed if they looked at him in this image. Beside him was his sister, Emily Villanueva. A refreshing smile was plastered across her lips as she laid her head on Calvin's shoulder.

Standing behind them was their mother and father, Yvette and George Villanueva. The way they held their hands, the sweet smiles on their faces and the light within their eyes was enough evidence about their love for each other.

Looking at the photo, Calvin cried once more.

Raising his head, he turned to look at his mother and said.

"Mom... From now on, I will become a better person."

Calvin said these words as sincerely as possible and he really did mean to change from now on.

But when his mother and sister heard what he said, their expression changed.

Emily's expression went ugly as she pointed at him once again and said, almost screaming, "You're going to change? Hah! Do you really think that we'll fall for that once again? You've already used that tactic for god-knows how many times already! Just stop! I will never believe that a person as disgusting as you can change."

Yvette's face became as pale as a sheet of paper. Even though she was somewhat agreeable to what Emily had said, Calvin was still her son. It hurt her to see that her daughter and son were at odds against each other to this extent.

"Don't be like that, Emily!"

"Mom! Are you still going to protect this trash? Just kick him out of the family already! Once he's out, I bet we'll be at peace once again!"

Yvette turned silent.

Calvin bitterly smiled.

Emily was right.

The Villanueva family had no use for a son who only knew how to freeload and steal from his own family.

Once he was gone, peace would probably return to this small family.

But...

Tears streamed down Yvette's cheeks.

He loved her son so much and she really didn't want to see him disappear.

"Calvin... Why are you like this? Why are you still trying to deceive us? Do you take us as foolish to believe your words once more that you're really going to change? If you want us to believe that you're serious about turning over into a new leaf. How about you go and ask for a permanent ban from the Old Manager's Internet Cafe?" Yvette pleaded.

Calvin stared at his mother and an indescribable smile appeared on his face.

Emily saw his smile and misunderstood.

"Look at him! He's still smiling! He has no remorse at all! Just kick him out already, mom!"

Yvette was instantly disappointed seeing the smile on Calvin's face.

Calvin stared right at his mother.

He wanted to say something.

He wanted to prove to them all that he really planned on changing for the better. But who would believe the words of someone so disgusting to the point that he'd deceive his own family for his own gain?

Yes...

Calvin knew that no matter what he would say at this point in time. His family wouldn't believe him.

Standing up...

Calvin swept his gaze across the familiar surroundings of this small house where he lived for almost two decades.

Emotions bubbled within his heart, but he suppressed them all as he said.

"Mom... Emily... I'm sorry for everything that I have done. I know that everything that I'll say would probably be unbelievable for the two of you, but if you still consider me as your family. Please believe me that I really am planning on changing. But for now, since I have nothing to prove to the two of you as well as to dad..."

"I will temporarily leave the family."

"When I return..."

"I hope that the Villanueva family will still consider me a part of the family."

Before Emily and Yvette could say anything, Calvin kneeled on the ground and kowtowed towards his mother and sister.

Afterwards, he turned to face the direction of his father's bedroom and also kowtowed.

Then, he turned around and went for the door.

"Calvin!"

His mother finally awakened from her reverie as she ran towards Calvin's direction.

"Mom! Don't go!" Emily caught her wrist and stopped her from going after Calvin.

"Just forget about him, mom! If you go after him now then he'll think that we fell for his drama! I'm sure that after a few days when he runs out of money. I bet he'll come back here and beg us to accept him once again!" Emily said.

For her, Calvin's disgusting nature had no limits.

He would do everything that he could so long as he could continue on playing his stupid games!

In fact, it was even a miracle for Emily that Calvin hadn't resorted to bank robberies just to satisfy his addiction.

Staring at the direction where Calvin left.

Emily coldly snorted, "Don't you dare come back again, you stupid brother!"

She turned around and tightly clenched her fists.

Afterwards, she went upstairs and locked the doors of the room.

She never came out until night came but one could hear faint sobbing and whimpering sounds within the room throughout the entire afternoon.
