The Rejected Luna: Daddy, Where is Mommy?

“We have just confessed our feelings for one another and… and this pup popped up. I want to enjoy some time with you, enjoy some moments with just us. So, I was thinking of not keeping this pup. What do you say?” Calvin suggested, on which Ethlyn’s stomach sank.

She was thinking of keeping this pup.

“And not to forget that you are also thinking of resuming of studies, aren’t you? I observed you reading some book which was definitely not a romantic one.” Calvin joked and hugged Ethlyn behind her back.

“I missed you.” He mumbled, planting soft kisses on her neck. Ethlyn moaned under his touch. “What happened? What’s disturbing you?”

“Nothing.” Ethlyn shook her head.

“You sure?” Calvin asked again.

“Yeah!!”

“You can talk to me about it.”

“No. I’m fine.”

“Okay,” Calvin shrugged his shoulder, and after giving a perk on his cheek, he went inside the washroom. He knew that something was going on in her mind, but he gave her some space instead of nagging her. At the same time, Ethlyn was confused about her decision to keep this pup or not. She wanted to talk about it with Calvin, but the fact that he didn’t want this pup was disturbing her.

They recently got together, and fighting and arguing with him was the last thing that she wanted. After freshening up, Calvin observed Ethlyn still struggling with something, so he didn’t disturb her and started playing games in his mind.

Half an hour passed, and Ethlyn noticed that Calvin was not at all interested in checking on her instead, he was busy with his mobile. She silently went where he was and peeked to see what he was watching with so much interest.

‘He better not be watching porn or nude girls.’ Cinder thought, and they fumed in anger, watching him PUBG. Calvin sensed her presence and looked at her, who was glaring at him, crossing her hands around her chest. It was a treat to Calvin’s eyes watching her breast, which was looking a little bigger right then.

Ethlyn snapped her finger in front of his eyes, making him look into her eyes before speaking, “You started ignoring me already?”

“Me? No. I was giv….”

“You were. Since then, I’ve been disturbed, but you don’t care at all.” Ethlyn complained and snatched his phone from his hand, cutting Calvin in between.

“But. I asked you what happened, remember?” Calvin reminded her.

“Yes!! Just three times.” Calvin’s eyes widened when Ethlyn said, ‘JUST THREE TIMES.’ How many times was he supposed to ask? “After that, you didn’t ask me anything and were busy with this stupid game,” Ethlyn complained.

Calvin took a deep breath; he didn’t want to fight with her. He made her sit on the bed before speaking, “Okay. I’m sorry. Tell me, why are you disturbed?” He asked softly.

“Now you’re asking now when I mentioned it; otherwise, you don’t care, do you?”

‘Side effects of a relationship.’ Keanu joked, recalling Calvin’s line about how he used to laugh at others when they used to get a hard time from their woman.

“I’m sorry. Now, please tell me what is disturbing you?”

“I don’t want to talk with you about it.”

“Okay. It’s fine. You can talk with mom. I’m sure she will help you out.” Calvin suggested and immediately bit his inner cheeks when he found Ethlyn glaring at him again.

‘Did I say anything wrong again?’

‘Apparently so.’

‘RUN,’ His mind suggested to him. He gave her an innocent smile to her and quickly left from there, leaving his phone with Ethlyn. He needed a piece of expert advice to deal with this time of situation.

“There is one simple rule for a happy marriage,” Brandon said, on which Calvin, along with Artemis and Theodore, listened to him. “If it’s your mistake, then apologize to HER. And when it’s not your mistake, then also apologize to her.”

“What?” Calvin shook his head in confusion, wondering what the hell was that while Artemis laughed and Theodore smiled.

“That’s what everyone says, buddy, ‘A happy life is a happy life.'” Artemis guided him.

“The relationship between husband and wife is very psychological. One is psycho, and the other one is logical. And to stay alive, don’t try to figure out who is who.”

“Do your mates know that you are speaking all these things about them?” Everyone’s eyes widened when they heard a new voice. They turned heads and found Roselet, the night owl of the home, wearing a long black coat, a black hat on her head, black goggles, and magnifying glass in her hand.

Seriously?

She was playing James Bond in the house. And how did no one smell her?

She walked toward them and looked for her seat, and when she didn’t find any, she sat in Calvin’s lap.

“I need cash if you want me to shut my mouth.” She said, opening her goggles. “Grandpa,” She looked at Brandon and showed her hand. He helplessly forwarded ten dollars to her.

“Hundred,” Roselet said, not taking it from Brandon.

“Huh?”

“Do you want me to tell you about this conversation with Grandma?” She questioned, on which Brandon gave her a hundred dollar note to her, and other men followed her.

“I’m your father,” Calvin said, on which she shook her head and forwarded her hand toward him. Calvin, too, gave her a hundred-dollar note to her.

“Wow. I started earning so early. All I had to use the perfume to hide my scent.” Roselet said, looking at the money that she had just earned. Calvin narrowed his eyes at her words. “Now, Calvin, don’t listen to them; they are just scaring you.” She spoke.

“Really?” Brandon asked.

“Yes!!” Roselet nodded her head. “Grandma says that we girls are so simple. All you have to do is to love Mommy, and within seconds, she will melt down like a cube of ice.” She said.

“Well, I agree on that part.”

“Same here.”

“True.”

“Wow!!! You three are now agreeing with my daughter’s suggestion. I should have reached near her for help instead of coming here.” Calvin frowned, watching how all males agreed with Roselet’s words.

“Calvin, William Golding said that whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she will give you a baby. If you give her a house, she will give you a home. If you give her groceries, she will give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she will give you her heart. She multiples and enlarges whatever is given to her. So if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit!.” Roselet said like an old aunt in her fifty.

“Moreover, you and Mommy need a break. Break from all the things around. I heard Grandpa and Grandma’s story; they went to Paris for a break, Uncle Arti and Aunt Caro went on a Spain tour, and Aunt Lee and Uncle Theo went to the Maldives. You should also take Mommy somewhere.”

“Wow! Why does that idea click my mind?” Calvin muttered.

“Do you know where she wants to go?” She asked.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes!! I know. She wants to go Greece.” Calvin replied. “Perfect then, we all three will go there once your school…”

“Not me!!” Roselet quickly said, cutting him in between. “I will join you on the next trip. For now, you should spend a lot of time together and get to know each other well.”

“You don’t worry about me. Grandpa and Grandma could stay here for me until you both will be back from your trip, right Grandpa?” Roselet asked, turning her head toward Brandon.

“Right.”

“See, problem solved,” Roselet said, shrugging her shoulder. “Now, go, solve your fight with mommy.” She said, standing on her feet.

“You’re the best thing that ever happened to me, love,” Calvin said, cupping her face and kissing her forehead. “How about I go near your mommy after tucking in your bed?” he offered.

“I will.” Brandon said, “Just like Rose suggested, you should go near Ethlyn.”

“I’m sorry.”

“I’m sorry.”

Both Ethlyn and Calvin confessed to each other at the same time. But Calvin didn’t get a chance to speak what he had to speak because Ethlyn placed her palm on his mouth. “Let me speak first!!”

‘Well, I can’t speak in this position in anyways.’ He thought.

“I shouldn’t have behaved in that way. I was disturbed, and of course, how would you know about it until I would share about it.” She spoke and felt the tingle in her palm because Calvin was kissing her palm softly. A small smile appeared on her lips; she removed her hand from his mouth and kissed her palm at the same place where he had kissed.

Calvin smirked and wrapped his hand around her waist, “So, why were you disturbed? Thinking about Elena?”

“Of course not. I know you will take care of her. It’s just that I was confused about our other pup. I’m not able to make mistakes whether I want to keep him or her or not.”

“Not an issue. We are going to Greece for two weeks. You will have enough time to think about him or her.”

“Greece?”

“Yes!! Because in case you or we plan to keep the pup, then there is no way you can go anywhere. Moreover, my expert advised me to take a break from everything for a while.”

“Your expert?” Ethlyn asked in amusement, wrapping her arms around his neck. “Who is he? Uncle Brandon.”

“Nope. Our Rose.”
