Chapter 22 I want grandchildren

Bella quickly had her bath and was trying to pick a dress for the office when someone knocked on the door , Jack was in the bathroom having his bath. So dressed casually, she went to see who was at the door. It was Uncle Josh, Grandpa's butler.
She wondered what he was here for.
" Good morning Uncle Josh" 
" Good morning Bella"
" Is anything the matter? Or do you need to call Jack for you?" She thought that perhaps he was here for Jack.
" I was told by Mr Perry to inform you and Sir Jack that you both will not be going to the office today and will be going for your honeymoon later today in Hawaii. He had already informed the relevant authorities that you both will be away for three weeks to enjoy your honeymoon in peace, so no need for you to worry" 
" Have a pleasant day " 
Uncle Josh added and walked away leaving her standing and shocked.
" What!!" 
" Wait?" 
" What the hell did she just hear?" 
She went inside and closed the door. Jack came out of the bathroom at the same time with a towel in his waist. She would have blushed at the site on a normal day but she was too surprised at the news she had just heard to even notice his nudity.
Jack noticed her surprised look and asked " what happened and who was the person who knocked?" 
She was still trying to comprehend what she just heard, so she was silent for a while before she answered him " Uncle Josh just came now and told me that grandpa has arranged a trip to Hawaii for our honeymoo" 
Jack too was surprised " what? Why?" 
Those were questions she could not answer.
" Quickly dress up, let's go see him" Bella said and went to pick an informal gown. Jack too was dressed casually and they both went to Grandpa's room.
Jack knocked twice and they both waited for a response. Bella was nervous, she had dozens of files on her table that needed her attention and if people noticed that she and Jack were absent at the same time, rumours would fly over the roof that she was getting preferous treatment.
Someone opened the door, it was grandpa himself. 
" Good morning Grandpa, how was your night?" Bella as expected was the first to greet the old man.
" It was fine darling" 
" Good morning" Jack's greeting was brief as usual.
" Good morning to you too. Why don't you two come in and then you can complain about your grievances as I expect you to be here for" Grandpa said and walked inside his room leaving the door open for the both of them to come in.
He went to sit on his bed while the both of them walked in and stood in his front.
" We never agreed on going for any honeymoon, and even if we wanted to go for our honeymoon, we should be the one to choose the location" Jack said and put his hands in his pockets.
" Grandpa, I'm in support of Jack on this one. We just got married so we need space to know each other better and then we can decide what we want to do together" Bella included.
The old man just smiled and sighed.
" I already arranged this trip for the both of you, I have also spoken to executives in the company so do not to worry, the company will be in good hands in your absence. The both of you have been given three weeks leave and you both will spend it together in Hawaii and that's final. I want grandchildren " 
Jack sneered while Bella was in shock, truly whenever Grandpa makes up his mind, there was no going back 
" We are not ready for kids so hold that fantasy for a while" Jack said.
" Miracles happen all the time. It's not like you both have not done the deed already " when Grandpa said that, Bella's face was like a ripe tomato, so red.
" Grandpa!!" 
Bella was truly speechless. Grandpa was doing this to bring them both closer and was probably expecting children from Jack and her.
" Fine, we will go but after this, you let us make decisions as a couple okay?" 
Bella looked at Jack like he was crazy, he agreed.
" What are you doing?" She asked him when they got outside leaving a smiling grandpa inside.
What's best for the both of us was his only response.
" How's that for the best of us? We are still trying to make this work for the both of us but you still agreed to us going for an honeymoon, really?" She followed him to their bedroom. She wasn't angry but annoyed with him for just agreeing like that without asking for her permission.
Jack sighed when he entered the room, if he didn't agree to the old man's demand, there would be consequences and the old man held done tricks under his sleeves even for Bella.
He turned to Bella, holding her shoulders 
" This honeymoon will bring us closer to each other and defiling Grandpa won't do you any good, so let's just do as he says this once and then we are free to make any decision we want" 
After his explanation , Bella also agreed. The old man was a very persistent human, their marriage was evidence to that.
" Fine, but just this once okay" 
" Okay" 
They both agreed though Bella was very reluctant to go, so even when she was packing , she was grumbling and murmuring to herself.
Jack just smiled and said nothing. He called servants downstairs to take their bags and together they drove to the airport.
Jack's private jet was ready and soon they took off.
" You don't seem too happy about going?" Jack asked her. She wasn't too bright since they left home but he decided to leave her to her thoughts until now.
" I don't like going somewhere or travelling either without a proper arrangement or preparation towards it, and this is an impromptu travel plan that I don't like" She said honestly and looked outside. They were high above now. 
" Don't worry, I promise, you will enjoy your stay there " He tried cheering her up and true to his word, they had fun.
