Chapter 334 - First, Ashley And The Twins. Next, All Of His Wealth…

Mr. Gusman immediately went to where the sound was coming from. It was at the bar where Tiny, Ruffy, Arnel, and Arnold were talking – talking about Koji. They didn't want to bother the rest of them, so they just went to the bar to talk there.

They knew Koji was there and playing with their nephews. They all had one synchronized thought; he should be the father of the kids. 

The group was shocked when the music of Sharon Cuneta (a Filipino artist) was turned off. 

"Dad! We were listening! You're such a killjoy! It's boring if we're drinking here without music," Arnel complained to his father who was staring darkly at him. He pouted and pointed at the direction of Koji. 

They all looked at the direction Mr. Gusman was pointing at. They saw Koji standing at the side of the swimming pool, and he seemed to be thinking deeply. "Aaaahhh!" they chorused when they understood what Mr. Gusman was pointing at. 

"You know dad, this is your fault," Arnold joked. 

Mr. Gusman was about to leave, but when he heard Arnold speak, he stopped for a second. 

"What did you say? This is my fault? Now, why is this my fault?" Mr. Gusman's eyebrow rose while waiting for his son's reply. 

Arnold scratched his head before facing his father with a serious face. "Because, if you just made at least two daughters instead of one, we wouldn't have a visitor that has a face like that." Then he laughed loudly. 

Ruffy, Tiny, and Arnel also laughed.

Mr. Gusman was annoyed by this, so he walked near his son and hit his head. "That's what you deserve, you disrespectful boy!" Then he turned around and left the four men, who were still laughing. 

Koji heard their loud laughs and found them with his eyes. When he spotted where they were, he decided to go to them and join in with the fun.

Meanwhile, inside the house, Tanaga was frowning because Ashley told him about the IMPA Convention and the vacation of her whole family in Florida. 

Tanaga was frowning because he wanted to join, but he couldn't because he had to go to Europe to fix the problems of his company there. 

Koji did what he could, but the problem was still big because many people were hurt and died. Tanaga decided on going there so that he could handle it personally. He was planning on inviting Ashley, but he discovered that she had a convention to attend to. 

What he just needed to do is to fix the problem faster so he could catch up with his wife in Florida. 

"Tan, stop frowning. You can follow after you finish fixing the problem there." Ashley kept on telling this to him because she saw that his face was frowning. 

"It's easy for you to say that because you're not the one will be far from our sons. Even if you are going to Florida for a business trip, there's still a vacation included," Tanaga whined to his wife while he was still carrying the twins. 

Ashley decided on asking Juanita to take the kids so that she and Tanaga could talk properly. 

"Juanita, please take care of the kids. Tanaga seems tired," Ashley said while she took one of the twins and put him in his crib. 

Tanaga gave the baby he was carrying. He stretched his arms that became numb because of carrying his twins. 

"Come and change your clothes first. I also need to change my clothes 'cause I'm still in my professional attire," Ashley said to her husband while helping him stand up. 

Everyone went inside at the time Ashley and Tanaga were having their sweet moment. Koji clearly saw this; pain drew in his heart as someone stabbed it. He didn't notice that everyone was looking at him. They all sighed and shook their heads. 

Arnel pulled Arnold closer to him and whispered jokingly, "Why was our sister born with such beauty? Look at how pitiful that man is."

"You're just envious because no one is liking you. Hahaha!" Arnold joked back at him. He immediately increased the gap between his brother because he knew he was about to punch him. 

"Hey! I still don't have any plans for such things. After I finish studying and I can support myself, let's see if I'm going to be the one running for a girl or if they're the one running to me!" Arnel sang while his brother was getting farther. 

While dinner was still not ready, Mr. Gusman and Ruffy helped in the kitchen. Tiny, Arnold, Arnel, and Koji were playing billiard, while Grandma Hanada decided to take a nap before dinner would be cooked. 

When the two finished changing their clothes, they went back downstairs. They arrived there and saw the four playing billiards. Tanaga decided to join them. Tiny just gave him his cue stick and said that he was going to help in the kitchen. 

The four were having fun playing billiards while Ashley was making c.o.c.ktails for them. When Ashley finished making the drinks, Grandma Hanada and Harumi arrived there. 

Grandma Hanada paused when she saw how happy her grandsons were. She didn't regret accepting Ashley as Tanaga's wife. 

She also didn't notice that tears fell from her face because of the joy she was feeling right now. 

"Lord, I'm so thankful that you gave me a chance to meet a good person with a good family for my grandson. I'm happy to leave this world knowing that someone loves my grandsons," Grandma Hanada whispered to herself.

After they finished having dinner, Koji stayed for a while to play poker with the boys, while the ladies were happy talking and planning what they would do when they arrived in Florida. It was the hardest night for Koji to see Ashley in person and couldn't be with her.

The night was already deep when Koji said goodbye. Even though Grandma Hanada tried to force Koji to stay the night, they couldn't make him, so he sadly prepared to leave.
