Her heart aches

She tuckled a strand of hair behind her ear before focusing on the turkey's lap, "Go on, am all ears."

"Do you really love and trust your fiancé?"

"Of course I do, why did you ask?" She chuckled.

"Nothing actually I was just concerned about your safety."

"What about it?" Looking at her, she sipped from the glass.

"I sense an unwelcome Aura around me since yesterday. It seems like, your enemies are at hand." She sighed in dejection.

Jin-joo spat the juice out of her mouth shockingly. "What?! Grandma, do I have enemies? Because I feel everyone around me loves me. I can't remember the last time I fought my haters."

"You think like a child my dear, no matter how good you are. There are still people who will criticize you for nothing sake."

"Grandma, you're frightening me. What's going on?" She panicked and stopped eating.

Zhou gaze at her for a long time before saying, "Jin-joo, do me a favor. Don't call anybody now till further notice and don't receive any phone calls. No work nor office and play."

Jin-joo widened her eyes in shock. What is this old lady insinuating? Something is fishy from her words. Though they sound odd but–can there be any possibility why she said so?

What about her fiancé? What will he think if she ignores his calls and texts? Won't he break up with her and stop talking to her? Won't he hate her for good? Oh no, her heart aches. She love that man so much and she don't want to lose him.

As if she was roaming in her thoughts, Zhou smiled, "My dear, he won't break up with you. He'll always come to check on you. Okay?"

She hesitated and reluctantly nodded. She still doesn't believe her grandma. If he comes over and question her, what is going to be her perfect reason and excuses? Ugh, this is so sarcastic.

Sebastian's place

Carefully tossing the baby upwards and retrieving him back in his hands, Sebastian played with baby Max, "Gotcha!"

The baby giggled himself out, revealing his gums with just two set of white milk teeths up and two bottom.

"Uh huh, let it out young Elliot. Showcase what you gat there. You see, you're just so perfectly made. When my fiancee gets pregnant, I wish for a baby like you."

"Sebastian, you're chatting with a ten months old baby." Petra laughed while walking in alongside with Rubie. They just came back from the supermarket.

"How do you expect him to answer all of that crazy talks of yours?" Rubie took him from his arm and started to breastfeed him while she sat down on the couch.

"Babies are gift from God and I know he is not deaf. He had already granted my wish before you two walked in." He grinned.

"Ugh, please spare me that. I didn't hear him say yes to your request. Right aunt?"

"Hmm, of course."

He grabbed a can of soda and sat on the armchair. Crossing his ankles, he quietly took some gulps from it. "Where is Elliot?"

"He went to see Calvin." Rubie answered while breastfeeding her baby.

"Seb, what did you cook? Am fucking hungry." Petra yawned.

"Too bad momma," He grinned from ear to ear, "As you can see all I gat for meal is just this can of soda."

Petra helplessly shook her head and sighed, "You this boy, I knew it. If I had knew I would have package something in the refrigerator. Since Jin is not currently home, you've become lazy like a weak rat."

Widening his eyes, he is used to his mother always calling him weird names. "Rubie, I'm innocent." He raised his hands upwards judgementally, "My world left me in the moon for some days, isn't mom supposed to show me hospitality before she comes?"

"Aunt, Sebastian is still a crackhead." She laughed.

"Oh sure he is."

"Oh poor Sebastian, look at them making a fool out of you." He whined dramatically. Just then his phone ringed. He answered the call and left immediately as if he has a plane to catch.
