Start Talking!

South Korea

"Mama?"

"Mhm?"

"What are you thinking again?

You are always lost in thought. I don't understand you at all, mama"

"You know, ever since you returned from the UK, you've been very sad. Please, talk to me mama…"

"Please Lilly, i don't need any headaches right now!"

"So...I'm the headache now...mama?!"

Lilly's face was gloomy. Hyun Hyun looked at her sad daughter and then hugged her.

"I'm sorry my dear. Please, forgive mama, hm? I'm just a bit down these days"

Lilly looked at her mother and then nodded.

"It's alright mama, just don't take it out on me. You know that i don't like it when people do that to me"

"Mhm!"

After calming down, Lilly spoke to her mother. And she said...

"Papa wants you, mama"

"Oh, ok! Where is he?"

"He is by the poolside"

"Ok. Thank you dear"

"Mhm"

"Mama?"

"Yes"

"I will be going out with my friends now. I'll be home after dinner. Please, do not wait for me"

"Ok. Just be careful, yeah?"

"Mhm! Bye, mama!"

"Bye dear"

Lilly left and Hyun Hyun went to meet her husband Ji Kyu.

*******

"Yes dear?"

"I just heard news from my club members now, that the Chos' will be returning to Korea from Nigeria next month"

"Oh, really?"

"Mhm! So, be prepared and let my Lilly know. I already want that man as a son-in-law! It will be good for our business!"

"Yes! I agree with you, and I know Lilly would like that too"

Hyun Hyun looked at her husband who was browsing through the internet on his iPad and said.

"Dear, I had my eyes on that family too. I didn't know you've already tossed your hook!"

"Of course you should! You know how I like good things!"

Ji Kyu looked at his wife seductively and he was on his way in between her gown, trying to find the right spot... when Hyun Hyun stopped him.

"...Umm...dear? This is not the right place for this!"

"Is there "a right place?"

Nobody cares about anything! I want to do it here!"

"Are you a little boy?!

How can you say that, huh?! I do care! I care a lot!

"How can I just expose my body to the world like that?!

I'm not "other people", and you better start getting used to that!"

"You know me quite well!"

"That was then, and this is now! People change!"

"I'm not one of them! When did you start this, anyway?

It must be those club members of yours, changing women like it's nothing! I don't even blame them at all, you are to blame!"

"What are you even saying, woman?!"

"You heard me right!"

Hyun Hyun stood up from the chair she was sitting on, and said to her husband.

"I'm going to "the right place" now, If you still want to do it, then follow me! Mind you, if I don't see you in the next five minutes, after I'm in, then forget about touching me today and tomorrow!"

She said her peace and then she turned around and started walking into the mansion.

"Are you seriously quoting law on me now?!

Is that it, Hyun Hyun?!"

"I'll be in, in no time. Just stay there and continue asking me questions without answers!"

She entered the mansion without turning back. Ji Kyu was stunned, his wife was beginning to get higher and higher in every way, and he didn't like it at all. He saw how serious his wife was and in the next minute, he was already with his wife, and they were doing it, "in the right place..."

Back in Lagos State Nigeria, Nathaniel could not stop eyeing st.gardens. He was still trying to process the meaning of what she said to him with his very smart brain.

"Have you gone deaf?!

I just asked you a f**king question now, d*mn it!"

St.gardens climbed down the bed and looked at the man. Nathaniel could not believe what he was seeing. That was the first time he was experiencing things like that. His headaches became worse.

"And why are you coming down from "the bed?

Oh, I see. You prefer we do it on the floor, right?"

"No!! I mean...no, sir Cho..."

She raised her voice at Nathaniel, but she quickly adjusted.

"Then, why are you down?"

"I want to explain"

"Explain what? What is your problem St.gardens?!

Get into the bed first! You can explain it there!"

St.gardens mind wasn't settled at all. She obeyed the man and then climbed into the bed. Her mind started going through a lot of things.

"Now, start talking!"

Nathaniel ordered St.gardens. St.gardens looked at Nathaniel and then started talking, in a low tune.

"I...I am...just going to be your surrogate mother. I don't think...you...you will need all my body for that"
