Two days later.
The newlywed couple didn't go anywhere. They just stayed in the mansion, holed up in their room, cuddling and engaging in sexual pleasures the whole two days after their wonderful wedding.
The family currently gathered in the dining room for lunch.
Corbin looked at his parents. "Mother...Father... my wife and I have been holed up in this place far too long already. We want to see the world for our honeymoon. We are planning to visit the property that I acquired a few months ago, it's just a few miles from here," he informed them.
"No problem! You may go and visit that place tomorrow, you can stay there as many days as you want," Zalvo granted them his permission.
"Thank you, Father!" Corbin said and looked at his mother.
Sylvia smiled at the newlyweds. "I have no problem if you guys go on a honeymoon. Take care of yourselves, enjoy your time together and I hoped Rebecca will get pregnant soon! I'm very excited to see my grandchildren!" she enthused.
Zalvo looked at his wife and planted a kiss on her head. Then he looked at the couple. "You heard that guys? Make babies, lots of babies as many as you can!" he joked happily.
"Yes, we will!' Corbin beamed.
The newlyweds looked at each other and burst into peals of merry laughter.
A few seconds later.
"So... when are you leaving, guys?" Sylvia inquired.
"Tomorrow morning, after breakfast," Corbin replied.
"Okay, noted," Sylvia said.
"Alright, let's resumed eating, or else the food gets cold!" Zalvo spoke.
They resumed eating in high spirits.
Done eating, the newlyweds went upstairs to their room.
They sat on the chair facing each other.
"You heard it right-?" Corbin said.
"Yeah...your parents granted us the freedom to leave for our honeymoon! Finally!" she roared.
"And they even want us to bear lots of children!" he raved.
Rebecca ignored that specific comment. Children my ass! She won't give Corbin a baby because she's leaving him tomorrow! She's been dying to leave and nothing can stop her. "Yeah! I heard it. I'm going to be free at last!" she said her eyes gleaming with excitement.
Corbin was disappointed. He explicitly mentioned having babies but it looks like the topic has no meaning to her. He released a deep sigh and dropped the subject.
Rebecca saw the sudden changed in his demeanor, from happy to sad. "What's wrong?" he asked.
Corbin shook his head not wanting to impose on her since she was already determined to leave. "Nothing... just don't mind me," he said.
Rebecca sighed heavily. "Why are you looking sad and troubled right now? Answer me, or else I won't' stop asking you the whole day?" she insisted.
"Okay, since you are so determined to know about it then I'll tell you..." he said and paused for a minute. He took a deep breath then continue... "Can you please give me a baby before you take your leave? Just one baby is enough for me..." he pleaded earnestly.
"No, I can't!" she answered vehemently. Getting pregnant with Corbin's child was never part of her plan. She can't possibly extend her time just to please Corbin, she needs to leave him and his family! Besides getting pregnant takes a long time. No, she can't do it!
Corbin studied her face. He knows it! The troubled expression on her face shows it all. She's not going to give in to his request no matter what.
Rebecca breathed deeply. She's heavily conflicted inside. There's a tiny part of her who wants to grant Corbin's request but a big part of her is against the idea. "I'm so sorry, Corbin. I can't grant your request," she told him apologetically.
Corbin shrugged and released a deep sigh. "It's okay, I understand. I'm just a fool to hope and believe that you will grant my request. I guessed it's too much to ask, right?" he said in a disappointed voice.
Rebecca scratches his head feeling the heavy burden weighing on her conscience. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make you sad," she apologized again.
The atmosphere around them suddenly turned cold.
Corbin sighed. If he won't do something to change their current state of mind, the whole day will be filled with silence and sadness, since tomorrow will be their parting time, it's already starting to affect them, weighing them down. He needs to do something about it. "Forget it! I'm not pursuing it. I don't want to burden you with my impossible request. Let's not make a big deal out of it," he said wanting to salvage their happy mood. He rose to his feet and reached for her hand. "Let's go to the garden to cheer you up. We need fresh air," he suggested.
"Okay," Rebecca said and bit her lip.
They exited the room holding each other's hands.
They left the house and went to the garden, they settled on the bench.
The couple stared at the colorful flowers, their attention was fixed on the beautiful plants in front of them but their mind was preoccupied.
Afternoon comes.
Hours went by.
The couple already retreated into their room but the subdued expression on their face can be easily seen by other people.
They were having dinner in the dining hall when Sylvia noticed the gloomy expression on the newlywed's countenance. Her brows knitted together. "What's wrong, guys?" she can't help but asked the couple the reason why.
The couple quickly looked at each other and flashed their ready smile.
"Nothing's wrong, Mother dear," Corbin replied.
"Are you sure?" Sylvia asked, there's something off with the couple today. The happiness was gone on their faces and was replaced with sadness. Hmm, why is that? It bothered her deeply. They're not acting like this yesterday and the other day. So... what happened? Did something change? And what is it? She throws her daughter-in-law an inquiring glance.
