Chapter 4 - Plea for pregnancy

" Hi, hija! You're a lovely woman. I'm so excited to see my future grandson," her mother, Diana, gladly greeted his fiancee.

Garnet glances at him. He just motioned at her to just go with the flow.

His mom has been praying for a long time that he would get married as soon as possible. She's the one who always pushes him to go on a blind date, desperate to wait when her grandchildren will come.

" One time, she pushes me to impregnate my secretary. She's a bit has an impatient attitude like my sister " he whispered to Garnet.

" Aw! What's wrong? " He asked his mom after he receives a slap on his arm.

" I heard it. Don't be embarrassed me in front of my soon-to-be daughter-in-law " she reprimanded.

" By the way, I prepared a delicious meal for us " she added.

" Brother!" Ashley shouted when she saw him. She gladly steps downstairs.

" Woah! Your fiancee is here " she grinned at him and nudge his arm.

He wanted to throw his suitcase with his annoying sister. The questionnaire she gave to him was not a part of her project. He wasted my time answering.

Urghhh! She always bullies me.

Ashley warmly hugs Garnet.

" You know what, my brother is a certified virgin," she said to Garnet without hesitation.

" Ashley! " He yelled but they just laughed at his reaction.

His face turned red after Garnet proceeded.

" You are a virgin? That's a gift. Oh, I love virgin " she commended.

" Just shut up " he coldly reacted and went into the kitchen.

Her mom prepared their lunch meal. He was about to call the two who were busy talking but he suddenly stop after hearing the word gay.

" He's gay " Ashley stated. His face turned pale.

" What are you talking about, Ashley? " His expression hardened.

" I confronted my friend's brother who allegedly ask my classmate to do some suspicious written piece about your biography. Of course, they accused you as gay then I told them you're not gay. Maybe, he's gay " she further explained.

" Why he suspected John is gay? " Garnet inquired. Diana coughed to interfere with their conversation.

" I am proud that my son has grown up an ethical man. Maybe, because of his gentlemanly attitude, they make it a basis of suspicion that my son is gay. I know my son is a real man " Diana reassured.

" I don't have any objection about gays. Sexual orientation doesn't matter. " Garnet affirmed.

Ashley clapped in delight.

" You heard it right, brother? "

He motioned to shut her mouth up. He doesn't want Garnet to know his secret.

After they took their meal, he was out of place in the middle of their conversation. They're sitting on the sala while chit-chatting. Only her mom and her sister are here at home because his father went on a business trip to Singapore.

He just sipped his coffee while enduring the hesitation inside.

" Flord, I hope you get Garnet pregnant soon after the wedding " he was almost caught off guard after hearing her mom's desperate petition.

Ashley can't help herself from bursting into laughter but she stopped after he throw her a death glare.

" It depends on our settlement to have babies if we consider our hectic work, maybe the baby will bit late to come " Garnet responded.

" I can't wait to see my grandson, Garnet. Esmeralda and I dream of having grandchildren for a long time. You were both in exact age to have babies. "

" Mom, we will come to that point if we get ready " he retorted.

" I hope, it will happen this year. " Diana said.

" Of course, they will make a baby right away! " Ashley continued.

He wanted to complain but he decided to agree.

" Maybe this year we can get pregnant," he said. Garnet looked at him in surprise and she retorted.

" I don't want to get pregnant."

The excitement and delight emotions suddenly fade away.

" Uhmm...I mean—I am not ready yet " she explained.

Much better if that's the case but his mom will get disappointed.

" Garnet is right, mom. We're not ready yet " he added. His mom motioned him to stop.

" When you get ready?" Diana seriously asked his fiancee.

" Not too early " she uttered. Diana shook her head to disagree.

" Ok. I have no right to push you to make babies. But, I hope it will happen as soon as possible " his mom seriously declared before she excuse herself.

" Do I make her mad? " Garner whispered at him.

" Don't worry. She's just sulking " he explained.

" And a bit disappointed" he added.

Garnet let out a deep sigh. Pregnancy could be a big hitch for her job.

" Your mom seems disgruntled to meet me. She couldn't even look at my eyes when we were leaving " she said seemingly worried while they were heading to Jacinth Building.

He felt the guilt in her voice.

" Don't mind her. Sometimes she goes into a state of being childish. Ashley inherited that attitude from my mother " he stated to lighten up her expression.

" I want to apologize to her. " He reached out her hand and intertwined their finger.

" Try to understand that when people are getting old, they are much more likely easier to get hurt and sullen if their request will get rejected " he stated and gave a light kiss on her hand.

" Don't be sad " he said with a smile.

He was shocked after Garnet take a move to kiss him on his lips.

" Thank you, hubby " she sweetly answered.

While taking his shower, he can't help to hide the smile flashing on his lips. He look at the mirror and showed a serious face.

John, why are you smiling? It's just a light touch kiss, my goodness!

He touches his lips and closed his eyes, imagining Garnet's gorgeous face. He started lip bitting and excitement of emotion flooded inside.

" Oh shit! Why I am acting this weird! " he cursed himself after realizing he was under an unexpected sexual fantasy.

No! This can't be!

Sexual fantasy towards a woman? Heck no!

His mom texted him after he took a shower.

' John, please make a way to let Garnet pregnant ' she pleaded.

What the heck, mom!

He sat down on his bed.

He thinks about the company. Maybe a baby could have a big factor to help a strong bond between Congreene and Sytone.

That's right, John. Focus on the company, not Garnet.
