"You have no idea how privileged I am to be with you." Sighing in satisfaction, Tasha added, "God-damn I've been waiting for a happy moment like this."
"And it just happened." Anastasia beamed before hugging Jin-joo.
"You guys seem so excited. You should control your happiness or else it might make your ribs hurt." Jin-joo chuckled.
"Yeah I know, right? But who could control their pleasant mood after seeing a real life celebrity in their midst today."
"Actually speaking, I have zero idea about your party."
Crossing one hand on her shoulders, Nelly winked at her, "I know, Seb invited you."
"So, do you have a boyfriend yet?" When she reluctantly nodded and sipped her wine, Anastasia grinned, "You want to remain aromatic? I mean there are lots of fishes in the water who are waiting to be caught."
"Thanks but I don't think am interested." Jin-joo faked a wide smile and silently took a sip from her wine.
Nervously biting her lower lip, Tasha tuckled a strand of hair behind her ear, "If you don't mind, can you kindly brief us more about your purpose to remain single?" When Nelly pinched her arm, she puffed her cheeks, "I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that loud."
Crossing one arm around her ribs, Jin-joo slowly swirled the content in the glass and shook her head, "Its okay, well actually I don't know what the future says because different thing might happen in the later but precisely speaking I'm not interested currently."
Shrugging her shoulders, she twitched her lips, "Maybe I don't feel anything because I haven't been in love once."
"I've read so many romantic books written by you. If you have zero syndromes of love then how do you manage to generate pleasant ideas for your books?" Anastasia curiously inquired.
"Knowledge." Taking a sip from her glass, she smiled, "Knowledge is power."
"Hmm, I believe that."
"I do love to drink from that knowledge in the future."
.....
"And she never said anything concerning the brat?"
Sighing in dejection, Sebastian shook his head, "Nothing at all Donald."
Tightening his grip around the glass, Ryan gritted his teeths, "If only I knew who that bastard was, damn I would have slew somebody's son."
Patting his shoulder, Sebastian sighed, "Relax Ry, its my mom, I know how to handle things. I don't want to get you involved in the investigation."
"So you're having an investigation done without her consent? Don't you think she'll get pissed if she finds out?"
"No Cal, mom is still in the scene of the incident. I had to ask the housekeeper Mrs. Maggie to dress her and make her up in a way no one will suspect anything suspicious."
Placing one hand on his shoulder, "We are in this together, and once we get the vulture who laid his hands on Aunty Petra, trust me, I personally will make sure he rot in jail."
"Like seriously, who the hell is this guy anyway? Why would he touch a woman old enough to be his mother?" Ryan snapped.
"Ugh that guy should start taking his last prayers, his days are numbered." Donald added.
.....
"Can I ask you something Jin?"
"What is it?"
Awkwardly scratching her neck, Nelly nervously inquired, "Would you mind singing for us?"
Letting out a chuckle, she dropped her glass, "Just that?" When she nodded, she smiled, "What a sweet thing you are. Of course I do love to sing for you."
Making her way towards a top stair, she clicked her glass with a spoon, "Can I get everyone's attention please."
Instantly everyone paid their focus on her, including Sebastian, Ryan, Calvin and Donald.
Clearing her throat, she stated, "Well uhh, I hope you guys don't mind. I–"
Cutting her off, they clapped their hands before she could complete her speech.
Giving them a sweet smile, "Thank you, umm–" Clasping her hands, "My new friends insisted I sing for them and I hope it includes the rest of you too."

Liam's room
"I said I'm not aborting this baby, it is your child, for your information am going to carry him in my womb for nine months until he shall be delivered." The woman snapped.
Raising his brows, he smirk his lips, "Oh really, are you sure about that?"
"A hundred percent sure Liam." Placing her hands beneath her stomach, she added, "You impregnated me three months ago and then you ran away, do you think I won't find you?"
"Listen Mabel, it'll be better if you send me your account details so I can transfer the money required for the abortion."
"What? You are such a bad man Liam. How many times do I have to tell you, am not going to abort my baby, our baby." She retorted with tears rolling down her cheeks.
