LOVE YOU, UNCLE

“Randy, come on, let’s go home. You’re driving yourself, right?” Verona exclaimed, pulling her son’s arm to get him to move quickly from his seat.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Y-yeah, Randy is driving, Mom.”

“Well, then hurry up! The medicine will kick in soon. Do you want to be all awkward in the car?”

Ghea, still sitting, immediately lowered her head in embarrassment. Her ears and cheeks felt hot hearing what her mother-in-law had just said. For God’s sake, is she being trapped or what? Can she report to the police after this for an accusation of unpleasant behavior?

Meanwhile, noticing her daughter-in-law looking stunned, Verona shifted her attention to Ghea. She reached for the girl’s shoulders and urged her to get up from the dining area. Slowly but surely, they both walked towards the exit and then quickly entered Randy’s car parked right in front of the house.

“Be careful on the road, dear. When you get home, don’t forget to take a quick shower. Use a nice perfume and also wear something sexy, so Randy can’t resist.”

Once again, Ghea was dumbfounded by her mother-in-law’s straightforward message. Wear something sexy? Engage in the ritual that married couples should do? Later? When they arrive home? Seriously? Oh, God!

While Ghea was busy overthinking whatever was dancing in her mind, Verona approached her son again. Giving him a farewell hug, she whispered something to Randy before letting her son go home.

Throughout the journey home,

Ghea continued to watch Randy, who was focused on driving. Since a while ago, Ghea’s gaze did not shift at all from the man beside her. She showed a vigilant and alert attitude.

With a pounding heart, Ghea seemed a little nervous and frightened. Of course, she worried that her mother-in-law’s given medicine might suddenly react while they were still in the car.

“What’s wrong with you?” Randy asked, breaking the silence. He was aware that the girl next to him must be feeling hot and cold because of the fear that he might suddenly pounce.

“Nothing,” Ghea replied, shaking her head.

“Are you sure it’s nothing? Why have you been staring at me all this time? Just realized you have a handsome husband?”

Ghea snorted at that moment. In such a crucial moment, Randy still had the time to show his narcissistic nature that was too over-the-top?

“Handsome where? Just ordinary.”

“Just admit it. Don’t be shy,” teased Randy when the car they were in finally arrived in the driveway.

“Ugh, conceited! Even if Uncle were not handsome at all in my eyes.”

“Then what’s your definition of handsome?”

“Blue eyes, a pointed nose, and an athletic body. Like Hollywood actors.”

“But my nose is pointed?”

“But Uncle’s eyes are slanted.”

“As if you’re not! Besides, as far as I know, modern girls like oriental guys, like Korean actors. They’re on the rise.”

Ghea pursed her lips. It’s easy for the guy next to her to play around with the typical preferences of most people. Although she really enjoys watching Korean dramas, for some reason, there is no desire or aspiration to have a husband like them.

“It’s about improving the lineage. Precisely because I’m slanted, I want to find someone with specifications like a foreigner. Not the Chinese appearance like us. I can’t imagine how handsome and beautiful our offspring would be.”

Randy was irritated. Why is his wife so eager to test his patience?

“Am I not handsome?”

Ghea shook her head.

“Not at all. So, don’t be too confident. Your playboy charm doesn’t affect me at all.”

Hihh, Randy was getting even more heated. Seriously, Ghea needed to be given glasses because she already considered him not handsome at all, while there were many women out there eager to be his partner.

“Oh, stop complaining. You’re already married to me. So, please just accept your fate gracefully. No matter how long it takes, whether you love me or not, I won’t divorce you. Especially when you’ve given birth to my children. Don’t even think about getting away.”

“Do I even want to have children with you?”

“Well, you have to!”

Ghea didn’t respond.

As the car stopped, she quickly unbuckled the seatbelt wrapped around her. Without waiting, the next moment she hurriedly got out, then walked towards the bedroom.

Seeing that Randy seemed to still be comfortable on the first floor, Ghea went straight to the wardrobe to get her pajamas. After cleaning up and changing clothes, she immediately went upstairs. Pulling the blanket, she then hid under it.

A few minutes later, Randy really entered the room. Without paying attention to Ghea, he went straight to the bathroom to clean up. Then, fifteen minutes later, he appeared finished and came out wearing only a towel around his waist with his chest exposed confidently, walking towards Ghea who was hiding under the blanket.

“Ghea…” Randy called with his deep voice. His hand stretched out, uncovering the blanket that covered Ghea up to her head.

“What are you doing, Uncle?” Ghea asked nervously. Her body instantly felt hot and cold, especially seeing Randy, who had been smiling meaningfully all this time.

“My body feels really hot. My chest is pounding. Is the medicine Mama gave earlier starting to work? How about you? Don’t you feel something strange? Like the desire to do something unusual?”

Ghea’s eyes widened. Seriously, is the medicine her mother-in-law gave already reacting to her husband? But, why hasn’t she felt anything at all?

Oh my God! It could be dangerous if Randy really pounces on her.

“D-don’t be crazy. Don’t mess around! Please don’t forget our agreement.”

Randy smiled again. Instead of responding, he brought his hand, deliberately gently stroking Ghea’s cold cheek.

“If I look closely, you look really sexy tonight. Makes me feel —”

“Uncle, what are you doing?” Ghea exclaimed at that moment, straightening her body position. Moving back, then pulling back the blanket that Randy had uncovered. “Don’t be like that. We’ve agreed not to —”

“Calm down, you won’t get pregnant,” Randy quickly replied. Moving forward, then bringing his face closer to Ghea’s face, whispering sensually. “Besides, I still have the condoms Darwin gave me. If we use that, we can still have a relationship without worrying that you’ll get pregnant until you graduate later. Don’t you want to do what married couples should do?” he whispered. Smiling meaningfully, then speaking again. “They say that once you do it, you’ll get addicted. Don’t worry, I’ll do it slowly so you can feel comfortable.”

Ghea stared horror-stricken at Randy, who was only a few centimeters away from her. Moreover, the smirk he showed really scared her.

“What do you think, Ghe? Seriously, don’t you want to try? By the way, about condoms, in one box there are various options. Some have ridges, some have fruit flavors, some are as thin as hair, some —”

“Stop!” Ghea cut him off quickly. “Don’t be ridiculous!”

“Who’s being ridiculous? I’m serious, Ghe.”

“Don’t mess around. Do you want me to report to the police?”

“Report to the police? For what? Accusing a husband of forcing his wife to have a relationship? Are you sure you want to report that?”

In her position, Ghea could see how Randy’s Adam’s apple seemed to go up and down. More than that, the mischievous look he initially showed now turned darker. And unexpectedly, he again advanced his face to reach Ghea’s chin, then gave a short kiss on her lips.

“Uncle!” Ghea exclaimed with wide eyes. Who would have thought that her husband would dare to take advantage by kissing her.

However, instead of protesting or getting angry like before, with a pale face, Ghea looked visibly crying. Like a frightened person, she just kept shaking her head.

“Oh my God, Ghea. Why are you crying?” Randy wondered, getting more confused. Is he so scary that his wife doesn’t want to be touched by him at all?

“Please, Uncle. Ghea doesn’t want to. Ghea is not ready,” the girl said, still shedding tears.

Instead of being touched, Randy laughed immediately. Even though there was nothing funny in this scene.

“Wow, Ghe, is it that scary? Even though I was just kidding.”

Ghea’s tears stopped. The girl’s forehead reflexively frowned.

“What do you mean, Uncle?”

“I was just testing you. Besides, the medicine Mama gave is not an aphrodisiac but a fertility drug. Before leaving, Mama gave the remaining medicine for us to take together until it runs out. I’m sure you haven’t felt any effects, right? Because this is just a regular fertility drug or vitamin.”

Ghea didn’t know how to react. Should she be grateful? Or should she be angry at the foolishness her husband had just done?

“For whatever reason, joking like that, is not funny!” Ghea grumbled while pinching Randy’s exposed arm until it turned red.

“Actually, if I wanted to, I could have forced you to do it now.”

“Uncle… please…” Ghea replied softly, looking into Randy’s face. Signaling that she really wasn’t ready to do what they should be doing.

“Yes,” nodded Randy. “I know you still can’t fully accept me. It’s okay. We’ll take it slow. And I’m sure, someday, I’ll get what I should get.”
