Cole called," Anita sighed.
"What did he say?" Jerry paused.
"Remember, his son is my child; he wants to get to know his son."
"Meaning? He wants to see his son?" Jerry yearned for more explanation.
"He is in Nigeria; he now hides to check on his illegitimate son. The wife is aware and supports him fully," Anita said, sounding scared.
"Okay, Anita... what are you afraid of?"
"He wants my son to study abroad after his secondary school," Anita said, letting out a heavy sigh.
"Well, that's a good thing, right? You can afford that if he helps, you know, Dean going to one of the biggest schools," Jerry smirked.
"Wait! He's rich, right?"
"Stinkingly!! But that is not my fear, baby. I want to be the one saying that to my son. I mean, I raised him to this level."
"Anita... please make it clear to me," Jerry sighed.
"Okay, him telling Dean, 'Hey, son... I'm your goddamn father,' my Dean will hate me, especially when he realises he is the illegitimate one... I would fail my own son," Anita frowned.
"Okay, Anita, let me get this straight: the old man wants to meet his son?"
"Well, Anita, I think that's awesome. He also has to take responsibility too, you know," Jerry added.
"He wants to spend some time with him, Jerry, and that is breaking my heart. Dean will be far from me. Cole has two boys who are four years older than my boy and girls who are younger than him; that's a lot of people for Dean to connect with. He has known his mother and Jerry all his life. And guess what! Cole's wife is so desperate to meet 'the cute kid,' not even sounding offended by the fact that her husband fucked a runs during one of his trips to Nigeria."
"Relax, he is not so dumb as to just come snatch him from you... You two would need to agree."
"The boy needs to know his father... but you are his mother; think about it," Jerry sighed, kissing Anita.
Jerry looked at his fiancée; she looked like something was dying right under her nose... he understood how she felt... but hoped his opinion would give Anita a reason to let the kid meet his father... even though his opinion was just... a few words.
