"So we are here in the house..."
Ernesto Castillo muttered, quite elated. As a man who was over 50 years old, he thought that his dreams of having a granddaughter would be impossible.
He knew that his lineage had trouble having a daughter, perhaps it was a curse.
'When Dad and his parents were poor, they were happy that they could have sons with 90% accuracy. Their lives back then were always about farming. More sons in the family means more helpers.'
That was right. Back then, the more kids you had, the better it would be. Of course, kids back then were unhealthy and malnourished because life was not better for everyone.
Anyway, now that the Castillo family has become rich, they never thought that this power would bite them back.
Sons are troublesome and stinky! They are not cute at all! Once the sons became adults, they were not pleasing to the eyes. How can Ernesto like them?
His three sons never listened to him at all! His first son was always in the office, always working! If Leah, his wife, didn't talk to Jeremy, perhaps that eldest would live in his office for eternity.
As for his second, he was the worst! He likes playing around. He usually passed his job to his secretary. Sean is a playboy and it was already a miracle that his relationship with Mari Mar lasted long.
As for Ernesto's youngest son... Sigh, he left the house for six years and never returned. If not for the fact that Sean convinced Keith to return to Cavite, perhaps their youngest son might never show up again.
Ernesto glanced at his wife who had a better expression. As if the burden in her heart disappeared. It was hard for Leah to keep the matter about Keith a secret from her husband.
"Wife... Let's have some fun later." Ernesto grinned and his hand reached his wife's butt!
"Geez, Ernesto! You are too old to act like this!" Leah yelped but she didn't stop her husband. She blushed and let her husband do what he wanted to do.
Ernesto chuckled and entered the house. Of course he stopped caressing his wife's ass before entering the house, they have a lot of time later.
"Sir, Ma'am, both Sean and Jeremy are in the mansion. Jeremy was with his wife and son."
"Is that so?" Ernesto was surprised to hear that. He rarely met his sons together. Sean and Jeremy had their own lives. They visited the house once in a while but they rarely visit at the same time.
Ernesto glanced at his wife and Leah shook her head. She was clueless.
'Well, them visiting the mansion together is rare but it's not impossible.'
Sean and Jeremy are complete opposites and they would start immature bickering whenever they meet.
Just as they expected, when the parents entered the living room, they saw their two sons bickering while playing chess.
"Checkmate." Sean grinned.
Jeremy touched his chin, he changed the position of his king. Sean tried to follow the king but he was trapped instead.
"Checkmate," Jeremy muttered and ended the match.
"Tch. As expected, I can't beat you in this game. How about we play Basketball instead? I'm cool with video games as well. You are good with Street Fighter, right? I'll beat you using your best pick."
"Sean, you lost. Just admit it." Jeremy nonchalantly said.
"Fuck!" Sean was angry about it.
"I prefer using my fists, how about we square one!?"
"Okay."
The two brothers stood up.
"What is happening here?" Ernesto frowned.
The two brothers stopped their childishness after knowing that their parents arrived.
"Dad, Mom."
They greeted Ernesto and Leah with a hug.
"You guys are too old to act like children. Stop this stupidity."
"Of course, Dad! Haha! I'm not that immature." Sean replied while Jeremy nodded.
"Tch, these kids..."
Leah hugged Ernesto's arm to calm him. Ernesto's anger dissipated and looked at his two sons.
Indeed, they grew older, they were taller and they didn't need Ernesto's protection. They could stand on their own feet. Ernesto was proud of them.
"Good evening, Father-in-law! Good evening, Mother-in-law! As always, Mother-in-law, your face is very beautiful!"
Isla Castillo showed up when she heard that her in-laws arrived.
Leah smiled at her daughter-in-law. Isla knew how to make her feel better.
"Grandpa! Grandma!"
"Oh look at my cute grandson!"
Kai Castillo ran to his grandparents and hugged them. Kai put his head against the back of their hands and greeted them. Leah smiled and kissed Kai.
"Now that the whole family is here, I have something to say."
Ernesto didn't expect to meet his sons tonight but it was a good thing.
"You better take a day off next week. Your niece will have a birthday next week."
"Huh? What do you mean niece?"
Sean was confused. He looked at his older brother, he realized that Jeremy was shocked.
Suddenly, Sean remembered that Keith had a daughter!
"Oh shit!"
"Yeah, that's right. You two, you have a lot to tell me! Be prepared because I'll grill you alive tonight!" Ernesto roared and grinned.
His two sons actually kept it a secret! They didn't tell him that Keith was in Cavite! Ernesto loves his wife so he will never blame her. But his two sons were different!
"As expected, having stinky sons is the worst! They never respect their parents!"
Sean and Jeremy realized that the secret was no more. They looked at their mother, hoping for an explanation.
Leah just smiled.
"Your father found out that Keith is living in Dasmariñas after he checked our house there."
"..."
So their mother didn't snitch...
"Prepare for your niece's birthday party!"
"Yes, Dad!" The two sons answered.
"Father-in-law, a party will happen. Can I invite some of my friends?" Isla Castillo asked.
"No problem. But we only intend to make a small birthday party so inform them about that."
Ernesto nodded. However, the term "small birthday party" to him might be different from the usual small birthday party...
"Okay." Isla smiled.
