Brent was in between feelings at this time, he felt a bit disappointed and also happy. He loves his mom and she gloats over him. He was even glad she returned home two weeks earlier but now she will become a hindrance for him to find Jessy. She has this notion that she has to choose his bride.
She always has some gatherings and wants him to be there to meet her young friends she met at her seminars. Sometimes she behaves as though she is young like them, it makes me wonder if she is angry that she is ageing. Now that she is home, I will have to be bold and make up some excuse.'
"Mom, I am sure Jeffrey already told you Dad went on a business trip and will be home in two weeks. Now forget about him for a moment and tell me how were your Seminars?"
Seeing how she pout the corner of her lips, Brent knew she was dissatisfied with his question."It was normal as always, same old boring questions but I am glad to be home, the only thing I enjoy the most is the food, it was great you would have loved it."
What Brent wasn't expecting was when his mom said, "Next time I will take you along with me, your father always complains it's boring, maybe you will see someone that the both of us will agree on."
Brent thought, 'When will she stop? her taste for women is different to mind. She feels I should get some rich, beautiful, and educated young lady. While I just want a life partner who will make me happy and see me for who I am, not the money or prestige.'
When she said, "Now, I was thinking about your father being lonely, so I return home sooner than expected, I didn't expect him to just pick up himself and go without discussing it with me first. I just hope he returns home earlier than scheduled."
Brent just wanted some time to think about today's mystery, "As I said, Mom, Dad will be away for two weeks, I know you always want to surprise us, but it seems as though you got the surprise instead.
Now, if only you had called this time before returning, I would have told you dad went to Florida and you could have stayed a few days longer seeing that you like the food so much or you could have taken a flight to Florida and met him there."
"Okay, I heard you and you are right but now listen to me, I want you to be home early tomorrow, I invited your Uncle and Aunt, and a few of your cousins for lunch. Seeing that your grandparents are here for a few days. You all can mingle with each other and catch up on old times."
Looking at his grandparents wanting to know how on earth did she meet them when they were in Switzerland. Why did they have to come to visit now of all times? I don't want to be disrespectful, but why now?'
