<< PRESTON PRIVATE ESTATE>>

  Sean Preston car halt in front of the mansion and as soon as his driver open the door, Sean got out of the car just as a motorider halt next to his car.

  Sean glare at the biker who take off his helmet, beaming a smile at Sean as he approach him.

  "Who on earth gave that to you?" Sean question.

  "I got it myself with my first pay cheque" Keith reply.

  "Aside from driving that dangerous thing? You also work as well? What exactly is your parent saying about this?" 

  "Mom is worried sick of my safety while dad...Is just dad. I'm a grown up uncle, I can take care of myself" 

  "Grown up? You are just seventeen! Sonia berates me all the time and yet she let's her son get away with anything" Sean complain as he alight the stairs to the front door.

  "That's how much she dotes on me and I know everyone in the Preston household does the same" Keith said wearing a smug smile.

  Being the only son to Sean older sister, Sonia and to James Power, a well known actor in the city. Keith have been what people will describe the spoilt rich heir of the Preston family.

  "Do you know why Grandma wants us all to gather for dinner?" Keith ask Sean as their long time butler, Martins came to collect Sean Jacket at the doorway.

  "I have no idea" Sean reply, walking into the sitting room which has Sonia and her husband James.

  "And if it isn't my little brother and wonderful son. Do you know your faces brighten up a room?" Sonia said from where she's sitting, a glass of wine in hand.

  "Though I love the things you say sometimes, I do hope you don't say it in front of my friends or I will be tease for the rest of my life" Keith give her a kiss on the cheek and his dad a hug.

  "Why can't I admire my son beauty? You've got your gene thanks to your handsome father and me" Sonia said taking hold of James hand, but his covertly pull his hand away. 

  An action which rob the smile off Sonia face, but she quickly switch to Sean who's busy on the phone.

  "Do you know why Grandma wants to see us?" Sonia question.

  "I just asked him the same thing" Keith cut in.

  "Maybe Sean has got into trouble or something" James said sipping his drink while glaring at Sean who's busy on the phone.

  "Trouble? Is the company in trouble?" Sonia ask.

  The arrival of a lady accompanied by a nurse got the four of them getting up.

  "Sean!" Juliana Preston call to her grandchild, a smile beaming her face as he kiss her on the cheek in greeting.

  "You never pay me a visit except I coerce you" Juliana berate.

  "Have been busy" 

  "Busy hanging around with girls" James taunt earning a angry look from Sean.

  It's obvious that both men don't like each other.

  "My turn" Keith launch at his grandma who giggle like a school girl from the kisses he showered her. 

  "I hate to break the moment, but I'm starving grandma. I don't know why have got big appetite these days" Sonia said.

  "Maybe you are pregnant" Juliana offer.

  "Pregnant? I don't think so" Sonia said smiling starring at her husband James.

  "Well I think it's high time you two have another child, it's been seventeen years already and Keith needs a little sister or brother" Juliana said.

  "Well... I'm all for it, if James is as well" Sonia said, placing her arm in James, but he pull away as gently as he can.

  "I think we should head to the dinning room" James said as they all head to the spacious, luxurious dinning room.

  "Why on earth isn't Naomi here yet?" Juliana demand.

  "She must probably be at one of those parties of hers" Sonia put in.

  "But I told her that she must be here for dinner" 

  "And here I am...your sweet granddaughter is here" Naomi breeze in through the open doorway, giving her grandma a kiss on the cheek before sitting next to Sean at the table.

  "What's up bro" she beam Sean a smile while ignoring their sister.

  "No greeting for me?" Sonia ask Naomi who wave at James and Keith instead.

  "I see. So I'm the only one you are ignoring?" Sonia said deciding to ignore Sonia as well when Juliana demand for their attention.

  "I know you are surprise by my sudden call for a get together, but it's been a while since we've sit around like this" 

  "And...I know there is a and to this get together" Naomi said.

  "That's right Naomi. I also gathered you all here to know when Sean will bring a wife home" 

  "Not again grandma" 

  "You all know I only have a few months left to live. I want to see Sean and Naomi settled before I die" Juliana said.

  "Grandma, I still have a long way to go before contemplating marriage, you should talk to Sean on this and leave me out" Naomi said.

  "You really won't go on the dates I arrange for you, Sean?" 

  "You know an arrange marriage isn't my thing, Grandma" 

  "Is that why you interviewed those girls at the company today? Is Juliana aware that this girls are..."

  "Shut up, James!" Sean snap as James give him a angry smirk in return.

  "What girl are you talking about? Sonia asked.

  "No one" James said sipping his wine.

  "Sean I..."

  "I know you are worried, grandma. Which is  why have got news" 

  "What news?" Naomi ask.

  "The girl I'm currently seeing is expecting my child" Sean reveal startling everyone....
