Chapter 7
Damon woke up irritated, who would be happy if their beautiful dream suddenly became a nightmare. Looking at his alarm clock made him more irritated, it was too early for him to wake up, closing his eyes he tried to sleep for a couple of hours but then he heard banging outside his room. Damon ignored whoever is banging his door, to cancel the noise he covered his head with the pillow but the person outside his room was persistent. The banging became loud and unbearable, throwing the pillow at the door, Damon was ready to beat the person to a pulp for being a nuisance early in the morning. He opened the door with force startling the person outside his room.
Looking at his son's flaring nostrils and red face early in the morning was such a rare sight for Lila, "Morning son, why the long face?"
Damon pulled his hair in exasperation, "Really mom, what the h.e.l.l are you doing banging my door at four o'clock in the morning!"
"I want to meet my grandson!" Lila exclaimed. She was totally excited to see her cute grandson.
Her mother's glowing and expectant eyes was blinding Damon, 'what the, I'm in big f**cking trouble!'
"It is too early for you to meet my son, let me talk to Hestia first and will decide when will you meet him." He was hoping that her mother will agree, how will he explain this to Hestia without sounding too desperate because right now he is really desperate for Hestia's cooperation. Damon knows that his mother will surely skin him alive for fooling her in to believing that Ichigo is her biological grandson.
"What are you talking about! Too early to meet my grandson, my gosh Damon! the kid is already four or five years old. How can you possibly tell me to wait even more to meet him. I want to get to know him as soon as possible and I also want to meet my daughter-in-law. I
Damon is officially doomed. "Let me just talk to Hestia first and don't meddle with our affairs or else you might loose your grandson and daughter-in-law. Let me handle it first, if I ever need help you'll be the first to know."
Lila was not satisfied with Damon's plan but she also doesn't want to loose her grandson and daughter-in-law so she agreed. "Don't hesitate to ask for help, okay?" She was a bit concern if her son can really woo her daughter-in-law, she'll just look after her son like a guardian angel. "Why don't you already prepare for work and let us have an early breakfast."
"Fine, is dad awake already?"
Nodding her head, Lila answered sheepishly. "He was the first one I woke because of my excitement."
Feeling sympathy for his dad, Damon closed the door after telling her mom that he will be joining them for breakfast after he is done preparing for work. With a sigh he entered his bathroom to shower.
At the dining table, Damon saw his father reading the newspaper. "Good morning son." Leo greeted his son without taking his eyes at the business section of the newspaper he was reading. "Morning dad, where's mom?" Damon took his sit at the table.
"She is at the kitchen cooking breakfast. I heard from your mom that you'll introduce your girlfriend and your son at our anniversary."
"Mom!"
Lila who was busy preparing for breakfast, rushed towards the dining area when she heard his son's angry voice. "What is the matter?" She looked at Damon innocently.
"Mom what the h.e.l.l are you telling dad! I already told you mom not to meddle not until I asked for your help!" Damon was really mad at his mother right now.
Lila felt guilty about pressuring his son but her desire to meet her grandson outweighted her rational thinking. She looked at her husband for help, seeing the pleading look of his wife Leo shook his head.
"Damon don't yell at your mother, she is just too excited to meet your son and because of that she acts without thinking." Leo heard his wife's protest but he just raised his eyebrow at her, "and Lila quit pressuring your son, let him handle his own affairs."
"I'm really sorry Damon." Damon saw how sorry his mother was, "Apology accepted, I am also sorry for yelling at you mom. Just trust me, I'll bring home my family to meet all of you. I just need more time to settle my relations.h.i.+p with Hestia."
"Hestia is the name of your girlfriend and the mother of your son, right?"
Hearing his mom calling Hestia his girlfriend made him smile which shocked his parents. The couple looked at each other with a knowing smile. "Yes, Hestia is your future daughter-in-law."
"It is good to know that Hestia is making you smile like an idiot in love." His mother teased him. Damon just smiled at his mom. "Well then let me finished our breakfast."
After asking for their maid for a cup of coffee, Damon look at his celphone to check his work schedule. He will be busy for the entire day, this made him a bit annoyed. He'll asked Tom to attend the meetings for the afternoon on his behalf so that he can visit Ichigo and Hestia.
"What is the matter, having trouble at the company?"
Thanking their maid, he sipped the coffee before answering his dad. "The company is doing great, our expantion in the U.S and Europe is going smoothly."
"That is good to know, how about our hotels?"
"Lance is also doing a good job, he plans to build another hotel in Italy."
Leo felt blessed gor having good sons. "Now that our businesses are thriving, I agree with your mom it is already time for you to have a family. And the perfect time to introduce them is at our anniversary."
"Dad I can't rush things, I just met my son yesterday and I also need to woo Hestia."
"I understand but how long will you make your son fatherless? The kid needs a complete family, you and Hestia must prioritize your son's welfare."
Looking at his father's serious face, Damon can no longer hide the thruth. "I also want to give Ichigo a complete family but there's a problem."
"What problem?"
Damon took a deep breath before revealing the truth to his father. "Ichigo is not my biological son."
