Jojo couldn't wait any longer and turned around, only to see a figure clad in white standing there–the person he was thinking of was right in front of him, smiling warmly at him.
The answer Jenny Bailey gave to Mrs. Kiara was utterly untrue; how could she be 'a leaf that follows the wind, heralding the fall', her beauty and charm fading with age? In reality, she seemed even more radiant than when they had parted.
Jenny Bailey's hair had grown longer and cascaded over her shoulders, gently lifted by the wind. She was still wearing the same white dress they had said goodbye in, but now, it no longer seemed melancholic–instead, it dazzled beautifully.
“It's so cold today, why are you dressed so lightly?” Jojo naturally took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, worried he wouldn't know what to say upon meeting her, only to find the moment more natural than he had imagined.
Some people feel like they've been by your side all along, never far away.
“I've been waiting for you to put a coat on me for a long time,” Jenny Bailey wanted to say with a laugh, but as soon as she spoke, tears couldn't help but fall.
She had finally gotten her wish!
Jojo wiped the tears off her face, “Sorry to have kept you waiting so long, I'm not going anywhere this time–right, what did you just say you wanted me to apply for?”
As he spoke, his hand naturally rested on her shoulder.
This gesture was something he had thought about for a very long time, so it came off as natural. To achieve this “naturality,” both had given up so much and suffered through a great deal of pain and separation.
“Applying for the position of boyfriend. You'll provide for my food, my shelter, hand over your salary card to me, and don't even think about keeping the PIN to yourself.”
Jojo burst into laughter.
She really was direct.
“So, you're not willing?” Jenny Bailey waited for him like a fool, shivering in her dress in cold weather.
“Willing? Why wouldn't I be? I'm more than willing!”
“It's not all about taking advantage of you; there are benefits too,” Jenny Bailey mentioned, her cheeks suddenly turning red.
Talking about this right after meeting up, is this really okay…
But thinking about it being a special request from Mrs. Kiara, she braced herself and whispered in his ear.
“Really?! But… doesn't this put you in a tough spot?”
Jenny Bailey nodded with a flushed face, “As Mrs. Kiara said, if I agree to this, your dad might get so happy he could live a couple more years. Of course, I'm always happy to help others…”
Back in the domestic region, Mrs. Kiara passed a cup of tea to Jojo's father with a cheerful smile.
“Uncle, are you still mad at me?”
“Hmph!” I don't want to talk to you, you badie! Jojo's father was determined to act proud towards Kiara, to teach the little girl a lesson, but he couldn't have anticipated that her next words would easily crack his act.
“Uncle, don't you want to hold your grandson?”
“What!” Jojo's father realized he had fallen for the tricks of this mischievous girl yet again and immediately turned away with a huff of pride.
Hmph, I will not deal with you.
“`
“Why are you so stubborn, Fire? If Jojo has a kid, at best, they'll call you Grandpa Griffin. But if someone is willing to have a child for Jojo, that child would call you grandfather and even carry on your family's last name.”
“Stop kidding, if Jojo had those parts would I even need to go to this extent?”
“Why not? Ever heard of high-tech? Both of them are overseas. What's the difficulty in having a test-tube baby? Just extract from Jojo and get some sperm from a deceased Chinese scientist from the sperm bank overseas (thanks to censorship, I can't even write the correct term, ugh!), then implant the embryo in Jenny Bailey's womb. It's Jojo's bloodline and born from the person he loves; wouldn't that child call you grandfather?”
Huh…?!
Jojo's father seemed frozen in astonishment, his face filled with amazement as if to say: Is that even possible?!
“However, it's easy to say but complicated to do. You treated Jenny Bailey so badly, driving her overseas. Maybe she won't be willing to have your family's baby. Or maybe after giving birth, she might not want anything to do with you, the guy who interfered with their relationship. They might just get married overseas and live their lives there.”
Kiara intentionally said this to irritate Jojo's father, who immediately objected.
“No way! That's absolutely unacceptable!”
He got up to look for the phone. He needed to contact Jojo urgently–if he's willing to become 'Manfield', then just do it and give him a grandson with the surname Xiao, anything goes!
“Jojo's phone doesn't have international roaming.”
“What should I do?” Jojo's father asked, feeling a rush of exhilaration after hearing Kiara's suggestion, as if the doors to a new world had opened for him.
He felt life was full of endless hope and sunshine, almost hearing the cries of a baby–crucially, a baby with the surname Xiao, making him a grandfather!
“Well, the young lady has a phone, but the problem is, given the bad impression you've previously left on her, what if she won't answer your call?”
Mrs. Kiara deliberately made it difficult, and Jojo's father fretted, rubbing his hands together. Indeed, he had made bad impressions on her before.
“Besides, why would an unmarried young girl agree to lend her womb to your family to have a child?”
“Then, Dr. Clark, what should I do?” Jojo's father asked urgently.
“It all depends on the young couple's wishes. Matters of the heart can't be rushed. They had the chance to develop their relationship for several months but you split them up. Suddenly reuniting and talking about having kids, doesn't that seem hasty? Actions have consequences. If you hadn't interfered before, Jojo might have successfully pursued her and perhaps she'd already be pregnant.”
Kiara found the chance to scold Jojo's father, who nodded in regret.
Indeed, he only understood this principle now.
“You know they're in love. If you hadn't announced to the whole world that Jojo is a girl, who would have guessed the secret of their genders? In time, they'd be like any other family, with the man working outside and the woman inside. Maybe have a child; wouldn't that be wonderful? Jojo with Gender Identity Disorder certainly won't get pregnant, but Jenny Bailey is willing to go through that process for him. Don't you think they're a perfect match?”
Kiara asked, and Jojo's father nodded, right, isn't that the truth? Thinking about it, it really was a good match.
“Dr. Clark, I might not live till tomorrow, and if it takes them a year or two to develop their relationship–what about me?” Jojo's father feared he might not live to see his grandson.
Around, lovely grandson, the vulnerable spot of reproductive cancer!
“Well, you'll just have to accept that as your fate! You can't be too selfish about this. The young lady might have a child for your family because she cares for Jojo and wants to fulfill your wish, but if she doesn't want to, there's nothing wrong with that. After all, life is long, and who doesn't need a backup plan? She's still an unmarried girl, and although the child won't have a genetic link with her, it will still grow inside her for months!”
Jojo's father nodded vigorously at Kiara's words, as whatever Dr. Clark said now seemed correct and reasonable.
“Dr. Clark, please guide me. What should I do?”
