Chapter 192: Whenever, Wherever And However
Drey silently watched his father, who was very excited as he was preparing to go out with Dice and his nanny. "My cutie baby Dice... Are you excited to have fun with Grandpa?" asked Senior Russo as he gently caressed his grandson’s cheeks. Dice looked at his Grandpa with his round and bright eyes, smiled widely, and nodded as he babbled with his baby voice, "Gwaa-annpap..."
"Yes, that’s right, Grandpa will take you to the Zoo so you can see a lot of animals," said Senior Russo grinning.
"Are you sure you don’t want me and Cielo to come?" Drey asked casually. Senior Russo arched a brow and firmly replied, "NO! You stay here and spend some quality time with your wife. We’ll be home late, so let your wife rest for a while from taking care of Dice, my goodness!" Senior Russo exclaimed in exasperation at his son.
One of the reasons why he was taking Dice out, was so this unbelievably slow son of his could finally have some uninterrupted time alone with his wife, and hopefully would finally grow a pair to seize the moment with Cielo and give him another grandchild. He could no longer wait for a princess to call him ’Grandpa’. He wanted to have as many grandchildren as possible.
Besides, a Zoo was a good place to educate Dice about the many different kinds of animals, since he was growing fast and seemed to love to look at animal pictures on the children’s books that he had bought him. "Alright, tell Cielo that we’ll go ahead now. Go and make me another grandchild." said Senior Russo casually as if it were nothing.
"Pa!" Drey cried out at his father with a dropped jaw and a reddened face from embarrassment. It’s a good thing that Cielo was still inside their room so she did not have to listen to his father’s absurd request.
"What? Shoo already! Go lock yourself with your wife inside your room the whole day. I’m serious, Son! Make me proud and give me a whole army of grandchildren. So, shoo now, and quickly go make the dough for the buns, so they will be ready for the oven soon!" Senior Russo instructed Drey as he waved him away, before shifting his gaze to Dice’s Nanny and said, "Let’s go and leave them alone."
Drey couldn’t believe what his father had just ordered him to do. ’What? Bake buns in the oven? What am I, a baker? A whole army of grandchildren? Is Cielo a rabbit?’ He grumbled with a crumpled face, as he walked to his room to tell Cielo that his Dad already left with Dice.
Cielo was a fine woman. She’s a great mother to Dice and a good wife to him. She would always make him his favorite dishes and help him prepare all the things he needed for work.
