Chapter 274 - Biological Mother

Keira was walking her pet in the garden with Johanna's pet, Hunter. Lovie barked and dashed toward Violet and Harvey that also dragged her. She nearly tripped but the two strong dogs stopped and jumped to Harvey, wiggling their tail. She groaned and nearly scolded the dogs. 

"Damn! I nearly got my knees scratched because of the two of you!" She scolded the dogs but they were busy wiggling their tails and wanted to get patted. Violet knelt in front of them and patted each of the dogs. She looked up at her brother and creased her brows. "What's wrong? Are you crying?" 

Harvey quickly hugged his sister and kissed her cheeks hard. Keira was taken aback and he was frozen. She looked at Violet who only bowed her head. 

"Harvey, you are hugging me too tight," Keira said but Harvey hugged her tightly. "You are killing me." Harvey loosened the tightness of his hug and he shoved him to her neck. He sniffled and Keira pouted and patted his back. 

"Now, big bro. Tell me why you are crying." She patted the big man's back. Harvey sniffled, unwrapped his arms from her and turned back quickly, and wiped his tears. 

"Nothing." 

He sniffled. 

"I'll be getting inside." 

Keira faced Violet and pointed at her brother. 

"What's wrong with that guy? Why was he so dramatic?" She asked again and took the leashes. 

"I will go back to work, Keira," Violet said. "Are you supposed to go back to the office?" She stood and patted the two dogs. 

"No. I work from home. We will leave later." She told her. 

"Stay safe." She said softly. 

Somehow after she was left by Violet and Harvey, she felt very much uncomfortable and curious at the same time. They seemed to be talking seriously. She clicked her tongue as the pets sat down, looked up at her as their tail wiggled. She smiled at them and then they walked around the wide gardens and she let them go as they ran like wild animals and played. 

"This is refreshing. My Monday was perfect." She said while watching her pets run around. 

"Love!" Her husband waved at her who was running around the garden in his running shorts and tank top. She gawks at him seeing those muscles and sexy sweats. She covered her mouth and he stopped from running. "What's wrong?" He asked. 

There are times that she thought of; 'what did I do to deserve such a handsome god-like husband who pampered me unconditionally'

"Love?" He called and approached her. 

"Don't come closer." She said. She felt like her heart was going to explode because of his handsomeness. 

"Why not?" He grinned and grabbed her arm. He kissed her forehead and then her cheeks. 

"I changed my mind." She said and pushed him. "Let's fuck anytime we want." 

"What?" He was surprised and she lasciviously gaze through his body. He noticed it, he laughed and he lifted his shirt. Then, he bent down and kissed her passionately while her hands were squeezing his butt. 

"Too much PDA, eh?" Henry smacked Alessandro's head as Keira pulled her hand from her husband's butt and then her face too. 

"Dad," Keira was surprised. 

"Don't do that here. The two of you haven't been able to hold any formal wedding yet. So, in my eyes, you aren't married." 

"Dad, come on." Alessandro sighed and scratched his head. 

"Dad, we are adults." Keira rolled her eyes. "Please, my husband and I had done those adult things." 

"Tsk. Just don't show those things in front of me!" He scolded them and he smacked Alessandro's back with the towel in his hand. "Dressed up!" 

"Y-Yes, dad." He quickly put his shirt on. "I'll take a bath." He mumbled and when Henry turned back, he quickly kissed his wife's cheeks and ran off. 

Keira whistled in a sexy way to harass her husband and he winked at her. She turned around as the Butler approached her with a tray of drinks and the maids already had snacks and water for the pets. 

"Thank you." She smiled and took it. 

"Miss," Her other assistant that the Rossie Empire gave approached her with the tablet. "I transferred a few appointments to another day…" 

She nodded and looked at it. 

"Okay, that's good." 

The assistant tapped again and showed another thing to her. 

"These are the latest ranks of the company."

"Hmm, we are doing well." She told her. 

"I think Miss Alicia should go on with working out. Lots of agencies wanted to take her in. Curvy body is in and skinny one is out." She said and showed the slogan. 

"That's quite harsh." She shook her head. "Tell that agency to change that. I won't let my artists get tarnished by that slogan." 

"Yes, Miss." She took the pen that was attached to the tablet and scribbled. 

"How is Vincent doing?" She asked as she approached the bench and sat down. She sipped on her juice while watching the dogs play. The two gigantic Doberman guard dogs were only standing watching like the trained they were. 

"Vincent is doing well and about his girlfriend," She stopped. "I think she's also trying to be famous." 

"As long as she won't tarnish Vincent's reputation. Go and set up a two hours appointment with Vincent tomorrow. I need to speak to him about that girlfriend." 

"I set it up." The assistant said. 

"Thank you, that's all for now." She said and finished her juice. "Can I have another, please?" 

Butler came shortly with the pitcher and poured her another. 

"This juice is amazing." She complimented. 

"Your mother made it freshly squeezed from the farm." 

"Oh," She was surprised. "What farm?" 

"We have a hectare of pineapple, watermelon, and citrus, miss." 

"Oh," She was surprised. Too surprised that her mom was this rich, that's why she was trying so hard to give her a grand life back then, even though, according to her brother's childhood, they weren't living a grand life like she had lived for years after she was born.

Karmina looked up when Harvey approached her and hugged her from the back. He shoved his face to her shoulder. She smiled at his sweetness. 

"What's wrong, love?" She asked him. 

"I just love you, mom." 

She chuckled and patted his head. 

"I love you too, my sweet son." 

"I'm sorry." He whispered. "I'm sorry that I shouted at you back then. I'm sorry that I didn't trust you…" 

"What are you talking about?" Karmina creased her brows. 

"I said bad things to you, mom. You are the best mother in the world yet I was unsatisfied." He mumbled. She gently pushed him as she faced him. Her eyes were sad and a little swollen. 

"Oh," She sighed. "What's going on? Although you yelled at me, I still love you and would cook for you. You are my son." 

He nodded his head. 

"Yes, I am your only son." 

On the other hand, MJ was surprised at her husband's actions and the way he showed pure emotions toward his mother. 

"Now, tell me. What's the matter?" 

"Remember when I said that you weren't my mother?" 

She pursed her lips and shook her head. 

"Even though you didn't come from me, or we aren't related by blood, you are still my son. I only paid someone to carry you in her belly. You are my son." 

"Yes," He nodded his head. "Mom, you are my blood." 

Karmina was momentarily confused. 

"Harvey," 

"It seems like the egg that you donated was active." He lifted the papers. "I'm sorry that my friends did this. I'm sorry that I doubted you for years." 

Karmina stared at the paper and she held it. She didn't want to open it because, in her heart, she knew that she was her son. She hugged him and kissed both of his cheeks. 

"No matter what the result, you are my son. Okay?" 

"I love you, mom. Always." 

She smiled and caressed his handsome face. 

"And I love you unconditionally." Karmina looked at MJ who seemed to be tearing too. "Darling, why are you crying?"

She shook her head and wiped it off. 

"I'm sorry. It's just a touching moment and I am very emotional." MJ said. Harvey chuckled and hugged his mother in his big strong arms. He now understands that even though he didn't come from his mother, she would still love him unconditionally that's why she didn't give up on him. 

"Alright, my son." Karmina held his hand. "You will be a father and I know that you will do everything for your child. Take over the Rossie Empire." 

Harvey was taken aback.

"Mom, I~~I can't." 

"Harvey, you are my firstborn. I have told you this many times. Keira doesn't want it but she wants to be part of it. She will manage the Golden Age because music is her passion. Maybe after I reach seventy, I might not be able to take care of you and protect you always. It's time that you should rule this Empire." 

Harvey hesitated.. Karmina has been convincing him to take it over but since he saw how everyone was loyal to the family and he saw how the Old Carter took care of everything to protect the assets and the people who served the Empire, he felt that tingling on his chest.
