Chap 121
Talk To Grandpa.
Morning at Kim’s House.
Jessica had not yet woken up. She was still asleep in her room and had sweet dreams about Lexi.
The grandfather, Freddy Kim that morning was on the rooftop enjoying a cup of chamomile tea, while looking at the scenery this morning.
While David, the young man, had just woken up and intended to wake up his brother immediately. Then they talked to their grandfather.
When David came out of the room. It turned out that Daniel was waiting for him in the family room, his first brother had already woken up first and was waiting for him .
“Are you awake David?” Daniel asked, looking from toe to toe. David didn’t usually wake up this early.
“I just woke up. Did we talk to Grandpa thi early morning too?” David asked as if they were both thinking the same thing. Yes, talking to Grandpa and fighting something he had already decided was very hard.
“We’d rather talk now than wait.”
“Yes, you are right. Wait a minute I’ll wash my face and we’ll talk directly to Grandpa, ” David replied Then he walked to the bathroom.
In less than 10 minutes, David was out of the room. He let his brother go to his grandfather’s office first.
Suddenly there was a maid who had just come from the rooftop. “Mr. Daniel and Mr. David, where are you going?” a maid asked, pausing to greet her two Masters.
“I want to talk to grandpa,” Daniel replied.
“Mr. Kim was upstairs enjoying tea this morning.”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Well, we’re going upstairs to accompany grandpa, too,” David said quickly.
“Do I need to bring tea and snacks too?” the maid offered.
“Oh well.”
“Well sir I’ll make it soon,” the maid replied.
Then, the maid went to the kitchen while David and Daniel went to the top floor of this building to see their grandfather.
Mr. Kim put down his teacup. He looked at his two grandsons, Daniel and David. At this time they walked closer to him.
He looked surprised, unusual for his two grandchildren to meet so early. Could there be something important? It’s still very early and they came together?
“Good Morning,” Daniel greeted.
“Good Morning,” David also greeted.
Daniel sat next to his grandfather. David sat next to his brother.
“Why are you seeing grandpa so early? Is there something disturbing?” Freddy Kim could immediately guess what was on the minds of his two grandchildrens. It must be very important.
Both of them did not respond immediately. They looked at each other and remained silent. Their tongues felt stiff.
“Is there a problem with the company or something else?” Mr. Kim asked again.
The two grandchildrens remained silent and did not answer.
Long enough silence.
” It’s about Jessica, ” Daniel began the terrible conversation.
“What happened to Jessica?” grandpa’s face turned serious if it’s about Jessica
“I’m sorry, I just told you about it. So, in fact, a few days ago I found out that Jessica was pregnant. He fainted and the nurse advised to see a doctor. So, from the doctor’s test, we know that she is pregnant. But that’s not the main problem,” Daniel told his brother.
What Daniel just said disturbed grandpa Kim’s heart. The chest felt heavy. How Jessica got pregnant! ‘This must be the young Ricardo who had forced Jessica to do it with him,’ he thought. “Then what’s the problem? Yeah, obviously that’s a problem!” the grandfather chirped with a loud tone.
“The main problem is, Jessica is eager to meet Lexi. He didn’t dare talk to you, grandfather. She told me and David that she really wants to meet Lexi, ” Daniel said politely.
“Already I will not let them meet. Look what young Ricardo did. He didn’t come here to explain at all. Or look for evidence for a crime! He is still busy with his own work! Does a man like him deserve to be Jessica’s companion?” Grandpa Kim narrowed his eyes. No intention of changing his unanimous decision.
“Jessica hasn’t eaten since last night. And this morning she also refused when the maid gave her hot tea and a sandwich. She’s getting weaker. Are you going to let Jessica go like that?” Daniel had to make up his grandfather’s mind. Hearing Jessica was sick most likely grandfather would change his mind. Yeah, he hoped so.
“Is it true what you say? Didn’t the three of you have dinner together last night without grandpa?” Fredy Kim didn’t believe at him.
Quiet.
“she didn’t eat. Jessica said that as a brother, she wanted me to beg you, grandfather, to give her permission to meet Jessica with Lexi. She’s pregnant with Lexi’s child. Wouldn’t it be better to leave them together?” David, who had been silent, asked.
“Then what is the purpose of you two meeting Grandpa this morning? Do you want to ask Grandpa to bless Jessica and Lexi’s relationship so Jessica can live with him? You guys don’t dream! Obviously Lexi’s parents, his late father had admitted that he was involved in your parents accident. But you guys want to forgive him for letting Lexi marry Jessica!” The grandfather’s protest was out of his mind with the two’s way of thinking.
“At first, I thought like a grandfather. But I’m sorry it wasn’t me and David patronizing grandpa. In any case, Lexi wasn’t worth it. But lately when I’ve been close to Jessica, when I try to understand her, I realize what she feels. All this time we’ve all been too hard on her. We all never ask what makes her happy. We just demand Jessica do this and that. But we never ask what is her desire? Is that why we’re looking for Jessica?” Daniel expressed his heart.
“No matter what you say, I won’t change what I set out to do!” their grandfather was stubborn.
“For my love and David’s love for Jessica. We hope grandfather will bring Jessica and Lexi together. I want Jessica to be happy. So that she doesn’t cry every night. Here I am pleading, not because I sided with Lexi and against Grandpa. Here I am pleading because we are both Jessica’s brothers. We have to protect her and if we can we will make her happy. This is how David and I made her happy.” Daniel begged grandpa to open his heart for Lexi. So, they could live together.
Long enough silence. Freddy Kim was massaging his head and felt very dizzy. Then, he turned to see his two grandchildren in turn. The middle-aged man admitted that what Daniel said was the truth, but in his heart he still disagreed if Jessica was in a relationship with Lexi.
Again and again, he thought. However, the answer remained the same. He did not allow Lexi and Jessica to meet.
“Grandpa won’t allow Lexi and Jessica to meet. It’s up to you what kind of pleading you want, which obviously won’t change grandpa’s answer!” His grandfather moved from sitting then he left his two grandchildren
Now it’s just David and Daniel on the rooftop. They’re both not abusive. It’s playtime. It’s okay to involve Jessica, which obviously they had time to succeed in making the grandfather say, yes.
After whispering long enough they splitted the task. Daniel went to the grandfather’s room to persuade him, while David went to Jessica’s room to arrange everything there.
This time their grandfather would not have the heart to refuse and finally he would say yes and allow Lexi and Jessica to meet.
