Chapter 18. When Will I Have My First Great-Grandchild
18. ( when will I have my grandchild )
“In case you don’t remember, I’m Jasper” he reminded her and her eyes widened.
Jasper used to chase after her two years ago but she chose Felix instead.
“I heard what happened to you and Felix, I knew that guy wasn’t really what he is! How could he cheat on you, he’s dumb” he shook his head and Skyler only forced a smile.
“Anyways if you don’t mind, we can try to hit up sometimes, you know I’ll help you heal your heart” he tried moving closer to her but Trent came to stand in between them.
He showed the Jasper guy a card that says at least, three feet apart.
Jasper let out a confused chuckle as he looked up at Trent.
“Skyler, who is this guy?” He asked but Skyler ignored him, she took her clothes and began leaving.
After a few steps, she turned back to stare at him.
“And Jasper, I don’t need you to try to fix my heart,” she said and raised her right hand to him, showing him the ring on her little finger.
His eyes widened and she nodded.
“That’s right Jasper, I’m married” She smiled at him before leaving with Trent.
“Married?” He thought to himself.

LORENZO HOSPITAL★
“Okay Mr Jacob Delgado, you can come in next time to see what you can do to this bleeding patient,” the doctor said.
Jacob nodded and put on his nose mask before walking into the theater.
There was a man covered in blood, the only thing Jacob could hear was his heartbeat but he was still forcing himself to move forward.
‘There’s nothing there’ he kept telling himself as he fixed his hand glove and then opened his eyes.
The only thing he couldn’t see was blood then the image of a man’s feet hanging on a ceiling fan with blood dripping everywhere.
He couldn’t take it anymore, so he turned around and ran out of the theater.
“Hey Jacob, where are you going?” The doctor shouted after him.
Jacob got back to his car and shot the door hard, the next second, he burst out in tears.
“Why am I so useless? Why can’t I be good at anything for once!!” He cried out.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Y. U. M RESTAURANT★
“It was nice doing business with you, Mr Mason, with everything I’ve seen so far then I can tell your company will be worth my money and time” A fat man dressed in a neat suit exchanged a handshake with Mason.
Although Mason was still putting on his nose mask, one could tell that his face was still straight as usual.
“My pleasure Mr Orleans” he replied.
“I will take my leave now, good night” the man left with his assistant.
Mason faced Alvin.
“Let’s go, I have some other things to do in the office, get the car ready,” he said and began leaving.
Alvin hurriedly went after him and they both gasped at what they saw. The windscreen of Mason’s car was broken, it looked like someone purposely did it.
“Boss..” Alvin was speechless as he stared at Mason.
“I want you to speak to the owner of this restaurant and I want to know how this happened to my car under their premises” he didn’t look angry as he spoke but he was upset.

LIGHTHOUSE HIGH★
Carson couldn’t take his eyes off Ryan as he openly flirts with Gracie in the cafeteria.
“How dare he?” He muttered to himself and angrily drank his smoothie with his straw.
His table moved and he saw James sitting opposite him. He rolled his eyes and began eating his fries, still watching Gracie and the Ryan guy.
“You should give him those looks with style, Ryan might see you and plug your eyes off” James smirked.
“Then he can come and try, I’m ready to put him on my shoulders and flip him to the ground” Carson scoffed and eyed Ryan again.
“You’re just wasting your time, Gracie is into bad and expensive boys” James rolled his eyes afterward.
“Luckily I’m expensive,” Carson replied.
“Yeah, but you still need Grandpa to do everything for you just the way he allows someone to drive you to school every day. You see Ryan drives his car himself” James told him.
Carson scoffed and shook his head.
“But you see I’m not selective. I’m into boys, they fail math and can’t drive their car” James said and Carson looked at him but he wiggled his brows.
“Jesus you make me sick, don’t talk to me until we have math lectures” Carson stood up and walked out of the cafeteria angrily.
James only just watched him with a smile.

DELGADOS’ MANSION★
It was evening already, some were back from work and some weren’t but Skyler was in her room, putting on her glasses and painting the drawing of a dress in her sketchbook.
There were so many materials beside her, the pieces of clothes and a sewing machine were beside her. Also, some crumpled paper was on the floor.
The door opened and Mason stepped in, he was frowning before but he frowned even more.
“When did you turn my room into a tailor shop?” His voice made Skyler look up.
“Oh, hi Mason, how’s work?” She asked before looking back at what she was doing.
She groaned and rumpled the paper then threw it on the floor.
“Make sure you clean my room when you’re done” he rolled his eyes and began taking off his tie and suit jacket.
He also took off his shirt and Skyler stylishly looked up but faced her sketchbook immediately.
‘Why is he undressing in front of me?’ she thought as she resumed drawing.
A few minutes later, Mason came out from the bathroom dressed in a casual t-shirt and shorts.
His legs were fine and hairy but Skyler shook her head. She shouldn’t be getting affected by his good looks and perfect features.
“It’s time for family dinner, will you come downstairs with me?” He asked.
“Can I skip, I have lots of things going on here” she replied.
“At least eat, have energy, and work again, come on” he urged and she sighed before standing up and moving towards him.
He suddenly began leaning close to her which made her a bit confused. She stared at him, blinking slowly but his face was blank as usual.
She felt his hands on her hair then he showed her a piece of clothing he took off from her hair.
“Bet you didn’t know that was there,” he said afterward.
Skyler sighed and left the room and he followed her from behind. Everyone was already eating.
“Why are the both of you always late for dinner?” Maya looked annoyed.
“They are husband and wife, I’m sure they were enjoying each other’s company alone,” Emily said with a sweet smile.
Mason rolled his eyes as he climbed down the stairs with Skyler beside him. They both joined the table.
“Sister-in-law, you look stressed, is it because of my dress? Please eat this” Edna dished some food on Skyler’s plate.
“Where’s Ivy?” Mason asked.
“It’s her normal routine to always skip dinner” Maya rolled her eyes and he sighed at her behavior.
He helped himself with some food and began eating Skyler.
“Right, Mason, when will I be receiving my first grandchild?” Grandpa Mario suddenly asked and Skyler began choking on her food.
