You're the ONE I need
Chapter 32 - Good & Bad News

Upon opening his mailbox, there are almost twenty-eight unopened messages.

He browsed those he thinks are important ones.

He opened an email that was probably from prospective clients.

He decided to get back to them later when he has his laptop.

His laptop is on his briefcase in their bedroom. He opened the rest to check if it's important.

He frowned at the subject written in the next email. It says, 'Hey Daddy!'. Before he read the content of the letter, he browsed down to check the name of the sender.

It's from Margot. His unfaithful fiancée.

*"I know you're probably angry with me, especially for what I did. But I hope you don't take your anger out on our child. Yes, our love blossomed before Nikos and I had a relationship. And he also knew that the child was yours, so he left me. I know you've returned. I hope we can meet again so you can meet your child too." -Margot*

He was left scratching his head at what he read.

But he doesn't want to believe it right away.

He'll have the child's DNA tested; if it turns out to be his, he'll support it, but he'll never let the woman fool him.

He rubbed his temple because it suddenly hurt from extreme irritation.

When he felt relaxed, he opened the rest of the emails.

But nothing is interesting about them.

So he opened his messenger.

He used this way of communication with Rudy and Clara since it's free as long as there is a wifi.

There's a message from Rudy.

Wishing them a safe trip.

But there are some more.

He continued reading it.

He can't understand it well because there are some Filipino words in it.

Maybe he thought that Lorianne, who was with him, would be able to translate it to him.

He decided to go up to let Yane read and explain it to him.

"Sweetheart, there's a message from Rudy here. It's broken English, so I really can't understand the rest of it. Will you read it to me?" he said to his wife, who is now wearing a comfy, plain white shirt and cotton shorts as well. "Let me see," she said, taking the phone he handed to her.

*"Boss, I don't know how to start this. But I hope you can forgive me. I know that I shouldn't interfere in your life because I'm just your employee, and you're just paying me. I just can't bear the thought that one day you'll regret what you did. I know how much you love your wife, because I witnessed how you took care of her even when she was in a coma. It just doesn't seem right for you to get married when she doesn't know her true identity yet. Not even her name. I hope you can forgive me. Because I've done a big wrong to you. I didn't register your marriage, so that if the day comes when she recovered from amnesia, and nothing has changed in your love for her, it will be easy for you to get married, at least you will write the right information. I hope you can forgive me Boss for being a jerk. Clara and I love you and we don't want you to get into trouble. I'm sorry. I'll understand if you send us away after I confess. Thank you very much for all the good things you've done for us. You are the only person who gave us trust and hope. So we will understand your decision. Always be careful."*

While her wife is reading Rudy's message, her tears flow freely down her face.

He hugged her because it only means good news.

"The Lord was truly good, and He gave Rudy the knowledge to put everything right," she said, wiping her tears.

He can't speak because he feels guilty; it's been a long time since he's been able to go to church, and he's lost track of time here because he's focused on getting rich. He indulges in power. He enjoyed prosperity. Yes, he gives to charities, but he--- knows he's lost. If only his mother were still alive, maybe even though he was busy making money, her mother would surely exert more effort to bring him to God's house. Just like when he was little.

He remembers the email from Margot; he must tell Lorinne about it.

"Sweetheart, there's something I want to tell you. It's very important. Margot has a message; you remember her, right?" He asked her to read Margot's message on his phone.

"That's good news, dear; the child is a blessing," she said, smiling at him.

"I know, but I doubt her, sweetheart. I've lost trust in her since I saw her and Nikos in our bed, lying on top of each other, naked. How can I say I'm the father of her child if we're both in her life?' he replied.

"That's not a problem. We can ask for a DNA test to put your mind at ease. If it's your child, we'll accept it; if Margot agrees, we'll just adopt the child. If not, why don't we just make our own?" She grinned at him.

His wife is really naughty.

Looks innocent, yet naughty.

He seemed to have a thorn lift out from his throat hearing what his wife just said. His wife's understanding was completely different, very deep.

"Come here; we will make babies." He pulled her into his arms.

His wife was still giggling at his sudden jerk.

He is wondering why she didn't get pregnant yet; they were together for over five months now. Maybe they have to get checked. If Margot got pregnant, why would he not be able to get Lorianne pregnant? Strange. He will know that because he will have a check-up tomorrow, so he will replace out the answers to his doubts.

For now, he will give pleasure to his wife first. It's been a tiring yet prosperous day for them.

"How many babies do you want?" he asked her while kissing her on her neck.

"As many as you can afford to feed," she replied, smiling.

"Naughty, I don't want to ruin your beautiful body; I think two will be fine: a boy and a girl," he replied.

"Then start making it now, hurry!" she said, laughing.

"Stay here; I'll take a shower first so that we are going to have a beautiful baby, "he said, kissing her passionately, then leaving her to take a shower.

His wife just laughed when he said it.

He went inside the shower room. He really felt stuffy from the whole day of romping around the winery.

He will ask Enzo to pick them up tomorrow. He wanted to clear his mind about something. He texted him.

7---

When he came out from the shower, he saw his wife already sound asleep. He smiled. She must be very tired. He will not disturb her then.

After changing into his usual clothes, just a white shirt and joggers. He took out his laptop from the briefcase.

He needs to reply to all the possible clients that emailed him.

Then he will reply to Rudy as well; he will thank him for the initiative and for all the care he has for him. He is really one of a kind. They really deserve a bonus. And he will reply to Margot; he will ask for the DNA to make sure that the child is his.

There are too many things he must finish, so he needs to get started.

\---

He finally replied to those who needed to be replied to.

Now, he needs to book an appointment with a doctor he knows. Just because he's a friend doesn't mean he won't book. That's unfair to those who exert an effort.

A little while later, he called him. So, he told him his suspicions.

"Come here early tomorrow with your wife so you can both get checked," his doctor friend told him.

"We will be there," he assured him.

After the call has ended, he browses from his contact. He wanted to call his partner for renovation. He needs the pool to get done ASAP. Now that there was nothing to worry about in their previous marriage, he needed to get them married as soon as possible.

His friend Luigi answered his call in just two rings.

"I need your service ASAP. Are you available?" he asked directly.

"Yes, always available for you, partner. What is it?" Luigi asked.

"A pool renovation in a winery located in Chianti," he replied.

"We are ready to start tomorrow; is it okay?" Luigi asked.

"Perfect! I'll text you the exact address. Look for Eliseo; I will tell him too that you guys are coming," he said.

All done. He turned off his laptop. Now he can now relax.

He checks the time on his wristwatch; it's already five in the afternoon. He decided to lie down beside his wife. She stirred.

"Hey! I fell asleep," she said.

"I know, that's why I didn't disturb you," he replied.

"Aw, thank you, Mahal. You too take some rest; you look so tired," she said, cupping his cheek in both hands.

"I'm tired, but I'm not sleepy, sweetheart. I know what to do so I can sleep afterwards. Let's continue the interrupted process of making babies," he replied with a wink.

His wife laughed flirtatiously, which aroused his desire for her. Soon after, his weapon was engaged in a battle.
