“What kind of mess, did you impregnate a girl” he asked
“Be serious, my dad has been pestering my life about this wife of a thing, and now that destiny is calling, it became worst”
“Worst?, how”

“Tell me”
“He asked if we were dating and that’s why she came to deliver documents at home”
“Well, your dad might be right, you are not growing any younger, he’s just concerned about you, you are his only son, no good father will be quite like that”
“So what are you saying”
“Give him what he wants” Jeffrey said
“Whatever, girls are only after money, and nothing more, I don’t think I can even love” he said sipping his drink
“Anyway, you own your life, it left to you”
“I’ll be going home now, my dad and big mommy will be worried” he stood up and shake hands with him “see you tomorrow”
