Chapter 124 Future (E)
Jin's hand reached for the doorbell and pressed it.
Ring! Ring!
Just a few seconds later the door was opened by a mature-looking woman with a protruding stomach.
The moment Jin and Diana saw her the following words escaped their mouth with a smile, "Good evening Mrs Pierce,"
"Good evening! Come in please!" Mrs Pierce gestured for the two of them to come inside.
As they were making their way in Diana handed over the bag that she was carrying in her hands to Mrs Pierce and said, "Chocolates, I heard Richy likes them,"
Mrs Pierce accepted the bag containing a box of chocolates and said while smiling, "Thank you so much, Richy loves chocolates,"
As if alerted by the word 'chocolate' being mentioned a little head suddenly popped out from the curtain and glanced at them.
"See, he's already eyeing them," Mrs. Pierce chuckled as she pointed towards him.
Diana and Jin turned their heads towards Richy only for him to hide behind the curtains once again.
"Richy look, this big sister has brought chocolates for you, won't you come and say thank you to her?" Mrs Pierce tried to encourage Richy with her words.
Richy's little head once again popped out of the curtains and glanced at the two strangers whom he was seeing for the first time.
Seeing the hesitancy plastered on the cute little face a smile naturally formed on Diana's face.
Richy's eyes gazed at Diana's smiling face and then back at his mother's face as if to confirm whether it was safe for him to approach.
Seeing this Mrs Pierce nodded encouragingly.
Richy then slowly got out of the curtains and made his way towards Diana.
Seeing this Diana sat on her knees and waved her hand towards Richy cheerily.
"Hello Richy!"
"H-Hello…" Richy too replied back and started waving back at her with an innocent smile.
"Richy now say thank you to the big sister, she has brought these chocolates for you," Mrs Pierce encouraged Richy to thank Diana as she showed Richy the box of chocolates.
Great delight immediately appeared on Richy's face when he saw the brightly coloured chocolate box.
"Thank you…siter!" Richy said to Diana.
"It's sister Richy not Siter, now say it again, sister," Mrs Pierce corrected. Find more to read at empire
"Siter!" Richy tried again with the same enthusiasm.
Seeing this Mrs Pierce could only shake her head and sigh.
"You're Welcome Richy," Diana giggled at this interaction and patted Richy's small head.
Richy's smile brightened after the pat and then he approached his mother for the chocolates.
"If you eat it now then I won't give you today's sweet dish," Erika warned Richy.
In the end, Richy could only relent when he heard these words.
Disappointment was clearly written on his face.
Diana couldn't help but chuckle again seeing Richy's expressive self.
"You seem to be enjoying yourself," Jin commented from behind.
"Of course, don't tell me you aren't. He's so cute and honest with his feelings that one can't help but smile," Diana commented.
"That's true," Jin said but his gaze didn't left Diana. Her eyes conveyed something to him.
Just then Dylan arrived with an apron tied around his waist and said, "You guys arrived right on time, I'm done with all the preparations,"
"Don't tell me it's you who made the dinner?" Jin couldn't help but ask in surprise.
He didn't know that Dylan could cook as well.
"I don't want to give the two of you food poisoning. My wife did most of the cooking, I only gave her a hand here and there," Dylan remarked.
Dylan's wife, Erika, couldn't help but chuckle at his words.
The four of them then arrived at the drawing room and started chatting with each other while nibbling on the snacks.
"It's my first time seeing you Miss Diana, Jin talks about you a lot you know, during our initial days when he was pursuit you he used to come and ask me for dating tips," Dylan couldn't help but say while chuckling.
"He did?" Diana couldn't help but ask with genuine surprise on her face as she glanced back at Jin.
Jin couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed at this revelation.
"Yep, not only that, but he even made notes on the tips I would give them. It sure was entertaining to see," Dylan further added after being encouraged by Diana's surprised reaction.
"That's enough Dylan," Jin was forced to interfere as a result.
"Oops my bad," Dylan chuckled and changed the topic of discussion.
The two women were disappointed by it and could only sigh internally.
Half an hour later.
Diana and Erika had familiarised themselves with each other very well by now.
It could be said by how they started referring to each other by their names.
Since Erika was only twenty-nine years old there was not much of an age gap between her and Diana who was twenty-four.
They would have continued for another half an hour without any issue if not for Richy's words.
"Daddy…I'm hungry…" Richy said while pulling on his father's hand.
Dylan's eyes finally shifted to the clock as he said, "It's already 9:30 PM, let's eat,"
Erika too nodded and before long the food was served on the table.
While eating the food also several conversations were carried out across the table which made eating even more delightful for all of them.
"So after the LIFA awards the two of you are planning to get married," Erika said to Diana who was sitting beside her.
"Yes, that's what we have decided," Diana nodded.
"That's great news, call me anytime if you need help with the planning. My sister is a wedding planner so I could definitely help with that," Erika suggested.
"Really?! That's great news. Jin and I were about to look for a wedding planner soon anyway," Diana replied.
"I'll message her number to you after dinner," Erika said as she passed the sweet dish to Richy who started eating them with delight.
"He's so cute. I've heard that raising a child is very frustrating and difficult but when I see you, I don't think that's the case," Diana couldn't help but let out her thoughts.
"That's because I've learned to not show it on my face with time," Erika shook her head and added, "At first, it was truly frustrating for me to manage Richy all by myself, especially when Dylan was busy with his work but it's something you get used to with time,"
"The difficulty hasn't decreased with time but seeing that small child who could barely open his eyes growing up made it all worth it in the end," Erika said with a smile as she gazed at Richy who was unaware of what they were talking about.
Noticing Erika's gaze Richy turned his head towards her.
"Is it tasty?" Erika asked.
"Yes, very tatty...Mommy food gud hehe~" Richy replied cheerfully making both Erika and Diana smile.
A subtle hint of jealousy was hidden in Diana's smile.
After dinner, they all relaxed while chatting with each other in the drawing room and finally, it was time to say good night.
"See you in four days!" Jin bid Dylan goodbye.
Diana too exchanged a friendly hug with Erika and followed after Jin.
When the two were inside the car Diana said, "It was a lovely night,"
"You liked her cooking so much?" Jin asked jokingly.
"Not the food. I mean their company…especially Richy, I could barely take my eyes off him. He's so cute that I want to gobble him all up," Diana chuckled as she remembered Richy's cute antics.
Jin suddenly brought his phone close to his ears and said,n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Hello, yes, FBI, this woman right next to me..."
"I didn't mean it like that, you know that!"
Diana replied in an annoyed manner.
"Haha! I know," Jin chuckled and calmed her down before turning on the ignition and driving towards Diana's apartment.
He planned to stay with Diana for the next few days as he would be gone for twenty or so days because of the shooting.
Diana naturally welcomed the decision.
When they entered the apartment after freshening up a passionate exchange of love ensued.
However unlike usual, something about Jin felt unusual to Diana. His gaze seemed different.
'He seems anxious ?' Diana thought.
The two bodies finally were on the bed and Diana's mind got clouded by Jin's dextrous actions that she could no longer pay attention to her earlier thought.
Twenty minutes later.
It was only when the intense rush of pleasure ended that Diana realised what had happened.
"You…why didn't you pull out?" Diana asked as uncertainty started flooding her heart.
"I wanted us to have a little Richy too," Jin said in an affectionate manner and added, "I felt your longing gaze today when you were looking at that child. Was I wrong?"
Jin's loving gaze as he looked at her washed away all the uncertainty in Diana's heart.
"No…no you were not," Diana got hold of Jin's lips and deeply kissed him as her legs wrapped around Jin's waist.
It seemed today was going to be an exhausting night for Jin.
