120 Wish You Were Here! (1/2)

”Dad, no! That's too much of a responsibility. I don't think I'll be able to handle it. I even have to attend cla.s.ses at the university. Plus, even your son isn't here. We haven't even discussed this with him.” Jayne protested.

This time Mrs Caroline Roy spoke, ”My child, we just now realised how capable you are just by your confidence. We've all the faith in you. As for your husband, I'm sure you know him well. Has he ever refused you for anything?”

Though Jayne didn't agree immediately, she nevertheless wanted to take things one at a time. ”Mom, Dad, thank you for your faith in me. Let's deal with this issue first. We'll think about me taking up this position later.”

Mr and Mrs Roy didn't refuse to her decision. ”Okay child, as you wis.h.!.+”

Just then the landline of the mansion began ringing. ”Mom, let me check.” Jayne got up to receive the call.

”h.e.l.lo hubby!”

Jayne's silky voice travelled along to Ronnie who was miles apart. He immediately felt his wife's warmth. ”How did you know it's me baby?”

”Matters of the heart can't be explained.” Jayne whispered fearing if her in laws would hear.

”That's such a cheesy line wifey! Are you doing on purpose just because I'm away? Wish I could devour you right away!” Ronnie answered.

”Have some shame Ronnie! Mom and dad are here.” Jayne snapped back.

Ronnie let out a loud laughter. ”Fine, fine baby! I'm missing you! Aren't you missing me?”

”What do you think?” Jayne pouted.

”I wish I could kiss your pouty lips now!” Ronnie said with all seriousness.

”How did you realise it Ron?” Jayne was pleasantly surprised. She subconsciously touched her 'pouty' lips and was grinning like a kid.

He repeated, ”Matters of the heart cannot be explained.”

Jayne, ”Fine you win!”

”Which means I get an extra round. And if you'd won, you'd get to do an extra round.” Ronnie gleamed with excitement.

Jayne, ”...”

”I'm hanging up Ronnie!” Jayne cautioned.

”Fine baby, so how was your day?” Ronnie asked.
