TEMPTATION | JENLISA G!P (COMPLETE)

CH 32

ROSÈ's POV

"Rosie you really must make sure you eat properly. You are not a child any more and I really don't want to have to fly out to Seoul to ensure you are taking care of yourself and the baby. Your father and I are desperately worried about you sweetie".

My mother continues to ramble on but I stopped listening a while ago. It is the same every week. My parents are currently in Paris on their second vacation of the year but are due to stay with me nearer my due date to help out. I am in two minds about it if I am being honest. On the one hand the thought of my overbearing mother flapping around me 24/7 fills me with dread but then on the other hand I am lonely and could really use the company. Since Jennie rightly moved out I have become somewhat of a recluse. I only leave this apartment for doctor appointments and to quickly pop down to the grocery store to pick up some essentials. A far cry from my previous life. That fun, outgoing party girl is well and truly dead and buried, never to be resurrected and I am relieved. That girl caused too much heartbreak and was so self involved.

"Mother for the last time I am fine. Stop treating me like a five year old child."

"Hey lose the attitude young lady"

"Sorry mom. I am just a little stressed out at the moment; I am getting bigger by the day, I can no longer see my feet, my boobs are unreal and my back is killing me. I swear I am carrying a two ton baby!"

"Stress isn't good for the baby sweetie"

Here we go again, "I know mom. Look I have to go. I have a doctor's appointment in an hour".

"Okay sweetheart, call me if you need me."

"I will Mom. I love you"

"I love you too darling. Oh and Rosé have you spoken to Jennie recently?"

She asks the same question at the end of every phone call. After I fell pregnant my parents wanted to know everything and that included telling them about my affair with Jisoo If the look on Jennie's face wasn't painful enough my mother's reaction was off the chart. She has never screamed at me like that before and at one point I thought she may even hit me, not that I would blame her. Jennie and my mother have always been close, they have a special connection and I know my mom looks to Jennie as another daughter. I would be lying if I said I was never jealous of their relationship because at times I was. Jennie is so different to me in almost every way, I have always had a privileged upbringing; my father owns and runs a successful law firm business which has gifted us a wonderful life, we practically got everything we moaned for and my parents have a strong marriage. Jennie didn't have that. Her parent divorced when she was younger and she spent her childhood being passed between them and their respective partners at the time. There were points where their relationship was so strained especially with her mother and she reached out to mine for support and comfort. The three of us would go shopping, out for dinner or drinks or simply slob around the apartment watching Romantic Comedies and devouring a bucket load of beer and a case of wine. Those are the times I miss the most. When I didn't have to give two shits about my appearance or watch what nonsense was spewing out of my mouth because she just accepted me and my family for who we were.

"No Mom not recently"

"Call her baby. You might just be surprised"

"I will think about it"

"Please do. Show her that you are willing to salvage your friendship. Remember she came to you and forgave you. That has to mean something. I will let you go. Think about what I said. And eat healthy. No grand baby of mine will be malnourished."
