Chapter 48 - That was a gazillion years ago...! (1/2)

After they finished their dinner, Finland excused herself and looked for Jean to go home together. She was surprised to see that Jean was indeed meeting someone at the restaurant.

”Oh... I didn't know you actually came here to eat,” Finland said in surprise.

”I really did have a meeting. It was supposed to be at my apartment, but because you sent an SOS, I moved it here. Let me introduce you; this is Louisa Chen, a reporter for a lifestyle magazine. She is interviewing me for their cover next month. Louisa, this is Finland, my best friend.”

The girl with glasses who was sitting with Jean swiftly stood up and shook hands with Finland.

”Please sit down. Our interview is almost complete,” Louisa said, allowing Finland to sit down.

”Thank you.” Finland also sat next to Jean.

Seeing the two very beautiful human beings, Louisa could not help aiming her camera at them.

”May I take a photo of you two together? You two are very beautiful to look at,” she said. Jean and Finland looked at each other then they burst out laughing. ”If you guys had a child together, it will definitely be the most beautiful baby in the world.”

Finland covered her mouth with her hands and held her laughter, but Jean just nodded and smiled.

”Actually, we did talk about children once,” Jean said suddenly. ”But this story is very funny.”

Louisa seemed interested. ”Can you tell me?”

”Well... many people used to say that we were both very good looking. One day, someone from a fertility clinic approached us and we were offered a large sum of money for Finland's egg and my sperm. They said, many people would want to have beautiful children from our genes. Finland badly needed money at that time, so we decided to sell our seeds.”

”Gosh, Jean... that was a gazillion years ago!” Finland protested quickly, ”You are a celebrity now, you know... Don't just say things openly like that. How would people think about you later? It's been a long time...”

Louisa seemed very interested to hear more about this story. ”Then what happened? Has there been a child made from your seeds yet?”

Jean shook his head.

”We don't know. We agreed to an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) so we have no right to know what happened to the cells. We won't be told if they have created embryos out of it, if they're already used in the IVF process, or if they've been destroyed.”
