Reincarnated as a Fisherman and a Dad Chapter 131
"So be it." Lourdes let out a long, weary breath filled with resignation. It seemed that even the fourth grandson wouldn't be bringing them a cute great-granddaughter anytime soon.
But knowing that the Alejandro family had extremely strong male genes, it might take a miracle, a once-in-a-lifetime fluke, for a little girl to be born into the family. It wasn't impossible, but it was definitely not easy to achieve.
Then, everyone looked at Tonto.
He was a well-known playboy who messed around recklessly, quite literally. Given his reputation and lifestyle, it wouldn't be surprising if he impregnated a woman out of wedlock.
"Tonto, before I ask, I want to be clear. If you impregnate a woman, you must marry her. An Alejandro is always responsible for his decisions, no matter the circumstances. It doesn't matter if it's a mistake. If you get a woman pregnant, you will marry her." Caesar issued a firm warning.
"I understand, Grandpa." Tonto smiled bitterly, clenching his fists slightly under the table.
In his eyes, this family was too controlling. That was precisely why Tonto practiced safe sex despite being horny all the time. He didn't want to impregnate a woman and lose his freedom, the one thing he valued above all else. He would rather remain single and sleep with many women throughout his lifetime without emotional ties or obligations. He had more than enough money to sustain that lazy dream and fuel his lifestyle.
Honestly, he couldn't understand his family's obsession with staying in a monogamous relationship. To him, it felt suffocating.
You had a lot of money, so why stay monogamous? Life was meant to be enjoyed without restraint.
'The more pussies, the better.' That was Tonto's belief, a conviction held by a man who had never once imagined settling down.
The old couple realized that their greatest regret would likely remain unfulfilled. They sighed in defeat. They understood that they were being unreasonable by forcing the men and their wives to have more children.
Everyone at the table knew the old couple was being outrageous, even if no one dared to say it out loud. Still, the men also secretly agreed, they wanted a little girl in the family too. Just like Caesar, they were tired of boys. Boys were rowdy, stubborn, and exhausting.
Especially Heneral and Almirante. The two of them were well aware of the family's circumstances. Even back in the province, in Evitac City, they had only a handful of female relatives.
They had already reached the peak of society, practically kings and princes. But something was missing. Spoiling boys was different from spoiling girls.
Heneral and Almirante looked at their sons, each silently expecting them to succeed where they themselves had failed.
Now, the third generation had to shoulder this burden, whether they liked it or not.
Rodrigo and Alfonso both felt that they would need to talk to their wives and convince them to try for another child. Just like the older generations, they were tired of seeing only boys in the family.
Their wives might even agree. After all, the idea was tempting. Who didn't want a daughter? Girls were demure, loving, caring, and adorable.

"This... This is our home!"
Maya couldn't help but shed tears of happiness, her vision blurring as she stared at the house standing before her. It was amazing, beautiful in every way.
The color motif of the house was white and beige, clean and elegant. Karlos had no idea what beige actually was, but Maya did, and she loved the combination, finding it soothing and warm.
The house looked bright and inviting.
It had been six months since construction began, and now their home was finally complete.
Before entering, Engineer Montoya handed them the blueprints, plans, and perspective drawings of the house.
"Thank you, Montoya," Karlos said sincerely.
The fences were made of metal, as was the gate. The design was minimal, yet pleasing to the eye. They stepped through the gate and looked around.
Karlos wrapped an arm around Maya's waist and gently wiped her tears.
"Come on," he whispered softly.
"Let's see our house."
Before stepping into the house, they paused in the middle of the front yard, taking in the full view from a distance.
The house had an L-shaped layout, creating a wide and welcoming appearance. The shorter side of the "L" extended forward.
Directly in front of the house was the parking area with a shed, wide enough for two cars. The ground was finished with plain concrete, no design yet. The parking space led straight to the front door, making it easy to carry groceries and heavy items. It was also a good place for the twins to play.
On both the left and right sides of the house were narrow walkways, just wide enough for two people to walk side by side. Concrete slabs lined the paths. There was still no grass, only soil. These walkways extended all the way to the back of the house, to the place Maya was most excited about.
"The garden…" Maya whispered excitedly, her eyes sparkling as she peeked down the right-side walkway. "It really goes all the way through."
Karlos nodded. "Engineer Montoya followed everything we wanted. You can walk from either side, so once you start planting your flowers, you'll be able to see them from both angles."
At the back, visible from the side, was the start of their garden area. For now, it was just a clean, open space with freshly flattened soil. But in Maya's mind, she already saw flowers, herbs, and a small vegetable patch she planned to grow for family meals.
"We'll put the swing over there, and maybe a small kubo for outdoor coffee and drinks," Karlos added.
Maya sniffed, smiling through her tears. "It's perfect… even better than what I imagined."
Engineer Montoya approached with a satisfied smile, holding the remaining documents.
"You can start moving in anytime. The interior is fully finished, paint, tiles, ceiling, everything is ready for living. If you want additional cabinets or custom shelves, just let me know."
With trembling hands, Maya pushed open the front door.
Sunlight poured through the windows, reflecting off the beige-colored tiles and making the living room glow. The L-shaped design made the interior feel spacious and open.
"It's… ours," Maya whispered.
Karlos squeezed her hand. "Yeah. Our home."
They walked further inside together.
