Chapter 417 - 169: Long time no see

Morgana gets in the night hawk and drives away after waving goodbye to Brando. She drives the night hawk until she reaches the national road that has not many vehicles traveling she then press the button to change the night hawk into the carrier plane mode and it started to ascend leaving the long, deserted and lonely, national road flying into the night sky, along with a few birds as she flies the night hawk low while avoiding the radar. She set the night hawk into automatic mode and leaned on the c.o.c.kpit's pilot seat to take a nap while traveling.

At the hotel in Germany, Jessica was still outside sulking, she sat at the steps near the entrance of the hotel hoping that Bernard, will change his mind if he saw her again. As she sat there waiting, she was irritated by the guests passing by her as they look at her with disdain. She was so pissed that she glared at those people as she muttered; " damn, that bitch if not for her I wouldn't be so humiliated like this.

Inside the hotel, Bernard's father criticizes him for the wrong choices of women that he always gets himself entangled to. Jessica is actually his seventh girlfriend and the worst of them all. All his past girlfriends are rich and bitchy without any manners but Jessica is not just bitchy, she was a social climber who hooked up with a rich man's son.

Bernard, I hope that this kind of thing won't happen again if you want to have a girlfriend or settle down, at least pick someone with good background and manners I don't care if she is poor just as long as she knows how to carry herself and act like a woman should be, it is fine with me. I am getting old, I want to see my grandson before I went to the other side. I know that it is hopeless to ask your brother so I am asking you.

Both Bernard and Brando bowed down their heads and can't look at their father in the eye. Brando is gay and his father is aware of it, though he can not accept him for who he is, he still loves him as his son and he can't bear to drive him away from their home just because of that.

On the other hand, Bernard, his favorite son is a womanizer who always ends up with the wrong woman. Little did he know that Bernard his favorite son is also gay just like his brother, Brando. He chose to hide the fact that he was gay because he didn't want to hurt his father. He is not after their family's wealth but his father is already old and he may not be able to bear the impact if he learned that both his sons are gays. That's why he chose to make his father believe that he is a straight guy who loves to chase women. The truth is, every time he is with Jessica, he always had a feeling that he would collapse or puked if Jessica insisted on making love with him. Jessica didn't know that he is gay, she believes that he didn't want to have s.e.x with her because he wanted to do it when they got married.

Bernard: " Dad, you're still young, only the carabao grows old. You are as strong as a bull when the time comes that you have grandkids pestering you, I bet that you will blame us for that.

Ah??? Why should I do that??? I have been praying for that day, sometimes I think that you are also gay like your brother, that you are just pretending to be straight so that you wouldn't hurt my feelings. Because of that, I always feel so bad whenever I think that I will not be able to get to experience how to be a grandfather. I don't blame your brother for choosing to come out in the open though I still can't accept it. I just pray that you are not like him, or if you are, then it will be better if you tell me now instead of making me believe that you are not and giving me hope that someday you would soon get married and have a family.

Da.... Dad??? What are you talking about? I am not gay!!! It's just that, I am not ready to have a family of my own yet, besides I still haven't found the right woman for me. Bernard said stuttering as he stole a glance at his brother. Brando knows that he is gay but the two of them chose to hide it from their father. Although Benjamin didn't treat Brando right ever since the day that Brando admitted that he was gay, they both know that their father loves him as much as he loves Bernard. He only let Bernard managed all their business because he was afraid that someday Brando might lose everything because of a man.

Benjamin: " look at you stuttering, I was only joking but it seems like you are taking my joke seriously. Anyways, I have something to ask the two of you. Because of the scene in the lobby earlier I realized something. I don't care if you are both gay or not, even though I can't accept it if it was the fact, but there is nothing I can do about it.

So, I am asking the two of you, do give me a favor. Find a woman who is willing to be a surrogate mother, you don't have to have s.e.x, there is a new technology that can help a gay man used his s.e.m.e.n to have a baby with a surrogate mother who is willing to undergo nine months of pregnancy in exchange for money. If you can do that, I won't keep on asking the two of you to find a woman to marry. That way, the two of you can make me happy and I will have an heir to continue our bloodline.

" really??? Dad? You are not kidding, right? Brando asks excitedly after staying silent the whole time. It was like he already has someone in mind, but he couldn't make a decision until his father suggested it.

Why would I make a joke about it??? You know how much I want to have grandkids, why? Do you have someone in mind that makes you so excited??? Benjamin asks as he noticed his son's peculiar reaction to his suggestion.

Brando: " Dad I have been thinking about it for long now, I just don't know if you would appreciate or approved of it. I do have a good friend who has a good background and you know that person. She was my classmate and best friend during college days. She is not married yet, once, she suggested to me that I should find a woman a surrogate to carry my children to please you so that you won't be disappointed with me anymore.

Her suggestion is good so I jokingly ask her if she's willing and she said yes. She said that she doesn't want to get married but only want to have a kid of her own, so she asked me if it is possible to have twins, and then she could have the other baby while I could have the other one. Dad, what do you think? We don't have to pay Irene, she is more than willing to carry my child.

".... Oh, it is Irene??? She is very beautiful but isn't she a tomboy? I mean, she acts more like a man than the two of you.

"...." Yes, she is, that is why she didn't want to get married and have a husband. If we decided to push through with that plan, then we will find a good ob-gyn to do the procedure and take care of her and the baby during her pregnancy.

"... If she is really willing??? Then, why not, but I have a better suggestion since the two of you are best buddies, why not marry her? You can live together like husband and wife but you don't have to worry about doing the actual thing that couples do. Tell her about my suggestion and if she approved then we will settle the wedding as soon as possible. The old man said excitedly as he turned to look at Bernard with a question in his eyes; " and you? What is your plan??? He then asks Bernard who is silently listening to them.
