Chapter 332: Date At This Age?
At Sy Mansion
Senior Sy was too happy because of the good news Liam announced last night. Finally, he would soon become a grandfather.
He even announced it to the whole household of the Sy Mansion. He also started the renovation for preparing the room of his first grandchild.
That noon, he also called Miley.
"Seriously father! It\'s still early to buy stuff plus we don\'t know yet the gender of their baby. How about we do it after some time?" Miley cried out at another side of the phone.
Her father wanted her to accompany him in buying the baby\'s things but she was dead busy to spare any time.
"Alright…" Senior Sy plainly replied and ended the call. But then he still got ready and asked butler Dan to accompany him instead.
"Sir, my stomach is acting up on me. How about we do it some other time?" The butler asked.
"I want to buy things now." Senior Sy chided like a child having tantrums.
Butler Dan scratched his head but then he suggested, "I will get Cheldy instead Sir. I think it\'s best you bring a woman when you shop because they know better than us?"
His butler had a point that was why he wanted to bring Miley but the brat was laughing at him, saying he was too excited. Could they blame him? He missed having kids around in his huge mansion.
Senior Sy nodded and instructed butler Dan to fetch Chelsy who could be a better companion than butler Dan who probably did not have any ideas about choosing good things to buy for babies and the room.
Chelsy was helping the chef prepare dinner when butler Dan called for her. She quickly went back to her room to change her outfit and without any delay went to the living area where Senior Sy was waiting.
"Sir…" Chelsy whispered, letting her presence known. Senior Sy lifted his gaze towards her. He smiled back, seeing her with that usual bright and positive smile of hers.
"Alright, let\'s go…" he said and then stood up.
Chelsy was too excited as she followed behind him. They went to the biggest mall in the city and stepped inside an exclusive boutique for babies.
"Sir we don\'t know the gender of the baby yet…" she hesitatingly said.
Senior Sy chuckled and said, "It\'s not a problem because we will buy unisex colors or actually both if I like the dresses. I will definitely very soon have another grandchild with Miley and Jorge too, so anything I buy won\'t be wasted."
Chelsy chuckled. She was too amused with him and commented, "I\'m sure Sir you will be a great and marvelous grandfather."
Chelsy actually felt like she was at cloud nine at that time. Strolling in the mall with him like this was too overwhelming and amazing for her.
"Which one is better?" Senior Sy asked pertaining to the color of the stroller. He asked her every now and then about almost every stuff and she enthusiastically answered.
"Since we are here… How about you go buy things you want to have as well." Senior Sy offered as he instructed his driver to load everything he bought inside the car. He was handling his card.
Chelsy shook her head and said, "No no sir…"
Senior Sy heaved a long sigh because he already expected this from her. But for some reason he wanted to buy Chelsy things but then it could be awkward so he understood her rejection.
He was fond of her and he wanted to show his gratitude towards her so he wanted to buy her some stuff that she could use. His time that he spent in boredom was also gone because now he often had funny and good conversations with her about a lot of things, they also shared a lot of their opinions on things to each other.
"Okay let\'s just have dinner here and I will treat you for helping me out." Senior Sy said.
Chelsy bashfully nodded…
They were finally back home after a hearty and wonderful dinner. Both of them were laughing as they entered the house because Senior Sy mentioned a good funny joke.
That was the scene Miley witnessed while she was watching the news on the living area.
"Oh you\'re here?" Senior Sy muttered, startled seeing her there because Miley said she would sleep at Jorge\'s place that night.
"Yeah me and Jorge wanted to surprise you and join you for dinner but it turned out you were out. Butler Dan said you still proceeded to buying baby\'s stuff."
Miley looked at Chelsy who gave her a timid smile. Miley smiled back before turning her gaze to her father and said, "by the way, I set you up on a date this weekend."
She quickly looked at Chelsy\'s direction to check her expressions and confirmed her hunch.
"What?!" His father burst.
"Sir… Ma\'am… I will head out first." Chelsy said, stuttering.
"Sure Chelsy... See you around." Miley said smiling. She saw what she was expecting. The woman had something for her father but the question was… How about her father? Did he also have something about Chelsy?
"You Miley! What nonsense are you talking huh? What date? What am I to you? What do you think I am? Date at this age?!" Her father scoffed.
"Why? What\'s wrong with your age? Look how handsome you are father? It is never too old to start a life, besides you are our father and you are very special to us. You see we… All of us will soon have our own family and we also hope that you can find a good companion for yourself for a lifetime… Please father just try it once?"
"No!" Senior Sy firmly answered.
"Don\'t tell me you\'re still waiting for that woman?!"
"Miley! She\'s still your mother so you should address her properly!"
Miley could not believe what she was hearing that tears suddenly fell from her eyes.
"Please father… it\'s been so many years already. Me, Liam and Jorge want to see you happy for once…"
Senior Sy walked towards her and pulled the sobbing Miley for a hug as he gently patted her back.
"I\'m already happy Miley… I\'m already content seeing you, Liam and Jorge having a good life. The three of you are my lifelines, my world... so please… don\'t push me on things I\'m against. I\'m too old for that date thing and have no interest in that kind of thing." He explained.
He appreciated his daughter\'s concern but for him it was absolutely unnecessary. He did not need a lifetime partner, having his children with him all the time was enough for him.
