"Dominic Sebastian Manoban !" Jennie's voice echoed inside her study, disturbing the peace in the Manoban Estate in B Country. Her loud voice was followed by her footsteps towards the master bedroom of the mansion. She then abruptly opened the door and furrowed her brows at her smiling husband. "Where is he?"
"I don't know." Lisa said before fixing his gaze into the book in his hands.
"It's upside down." she noted, before putting her hand into her waist. "Come out!"
"Now!" she said, her voice stern and domineering. "Or I would hack your servers and render you useless for weeks!"
"Mother!" the seven-year-old boy who was hiding on the blanket behind Lisa jolted up. His eyes widened in shock. "You cannot do this to me.."
"What did you do to your uncle's new software?" she asked.
"It was weak. Uncle needed to change its features or the hackers would make fun of our company." the boy reasoned.
Helplessness instantly flashed on Jennie's face. "How about your grandmother's security system? Seb, the system does not even recognize their fingerprints anymore! Your great grandmother and great grandfather are already old now. You can't have them enter a series of long codes every time they go inside their own room!"
"It was for precaution!" Sebastian beamed while slowly hiding his body behind Lisa. "I will not do it again."
"Do not try to try to act all cute with me little boy!" Jennie hissed.
"Don't raise your voice on the child." Lisa immediately said. "He is only seven. Let him play." Lisa then turned towards Sebastian. "Seb, Apologize to your mother."
"Play? This... you consider this playing?" she asked, disbelief laced her face. "Mino lost millions from the new software." Seeing the two men just eyed her as if she was in the wrong, Jennie rolled her eyes on them. "No more internet for a week!"
"Mother!" Sebastian tried to protest however, when Jennie's squinted her eyes on him, he immediately swallowed all the words that he wanted to say.
"Your grandmother and grandfather will arrive for dinner soon. Go and prepare yourself." she said before walking towards the bed. Seeing her son not taking a single step away from his father, she instantly raised an eyebrow at him.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
Sebastian lowered his head and bit his lips, his face extremely adorable. "I'm sorry mom."
"For what?" Jennie tried to stop herself from smiling. This child is extremely cunning. He would never apologize for what he did. And just like what she expected, Sebastian lifted his small head and looked at her.
"I'm sorry for not covering my tracks so well... you still caught me after all my efforts to hide it from you." Sebastian said in one breath before running out of the room.
Jennie instantly smiled at her son's antics before she yelled at him, "Two weeks with no internet!"
"You really should stop stressing about your son like this." She heard Lisa muttered beside her. "You are about to give birth soon. These things should not concern you anymore." she felt her husband shift beside her and started massaging her back.
"How could you say that? He is becoming more naughty every single day. We need to discipline him!" Jennie said while slowly stroking her belly. Nine years had passed since she received a heart transplant. A year after, Jennie chose to have a surrogate for their first child. Though Lisa initially declined this idea, he was still helpless and ended up complying to Jennie's request.
And just like that, their first baby, Dominic Sebastian was born in M country. After another two years, the doctors declared that Jennie's body did not reject the heart and she is safe for conception. However, since Lisa wanted to make sure that everything is safe for his wife, he insisted on having a baby after Seb turns six. And that was a year ago.
Now at thirty-three, Jennie is already pregnant with her second child. After knowing that Jennie was pregnant, Lisa immediately became her bodyguard/secretary/massager/cook/doctor. However, the worst part is, he started to hide Sebastian's naughty acts to avoid making Jennie angry. He wanted to avoid stressing his wife.
"You have a very smart son." Jennie said. "However, I'm afraid that Seb is just like any other child when it comes to the emotional department. If you haven't noticed, he had been doing a lot of stuff lately just to gain my attention."
"I know... I already talk to him about this." he said. "I understand his feelings though. You used to pamper him too much. Then you got pregnant and your hormones are making you cranky all the time."
"I am not cranky!"
"Oh... yes, you are." he chuckled before he kissed Jennie's shoulders. "You should talk to your son soon. Make him understand things."
"I would." Jennie said. "For now, let's get ready, mother and father will arrive soon." She said before slowly getting up. Today was the anniversary of Li Qiang's death and everyone decided to have a sumptuous dinner for Li Qiang.
