Words I Was Afraid To Hear Chapter 91

"Midori, where are you going?" Masaichi was reading doc.u.ments when she had just descended the stairs .

"Going out with my friends . " she answered nonchalantly .

"Is it Mei?" He was testing how far she was willing to cover up .

"Uh-huh . . . " She fixed her collar as she looked back at the large mirror .

"Director Lu still allows her to go out with friends at night when she's in her last trimester?" He raised a brow and observed her reaction .

"We're eating out, not bar hopping . " She did not look back at her brother and hurriedly went out before she is forced to make up another lie .

Masaichi glared and stared at her retreating back . Was it not enough? She is still going out with that guy, even telling lies now .

She should know better . If she continued playing this game with a cheater, she will get hurt again . He cannot allow that!

He tapped on his phone and made an overseas call .

"Okaasan . "

"Hi, Sweetheart . Ready to take over?"

"Until when will Dad stay there?" He wanted to tread carefully before revealing the bad news .

"Tsk . Your old man is like a leech! What a pain in the as*! He interrupts even when I was doing business with the clan!" Aoi Xiu's voice was raised, causing her son to distance the phone from his ear .

"Send him back if you can't deal with him . " He nonchalantly replied .

"Maskun . . . I'm your mother . I know you . You didn't call just to listen to our bickerings . Say what you want to tell . " Aoi Xiu reverted to her gentle voice .

"Okaasan, it's about Imouto-chan . . . "

"Are you sure you don't want me to send you to the airport?"

The couple was cuddling on a woven rattan chair overlooking the backyard infinity pool with a view of the lake .

"Nah . . . Niisan would probably be there . "

Dan held his wife tighter . "I will miss you so much . "

"It's your idea . " She looked at him, as if telling that it was his fault .

"Also, we have yet to confirm your pregnancy . " He caressed her lower abdomen .

"Why did you not buy another kit then?"

"You want another point-of-care test kit manufacturing company to go down in a day?" He looked serious and at the same time proud . He was really irritated of the inconclusive result that he ordered people to take down the manufacturer of the test kit . His people found out that it had other products which lack quality control . It was a piece of cake to shut it down .

Midori frowned, then pouted . She knew that her husband is a powerful figure in business . When she read the kit, she did not put much attention to details other than the instructions . However, when she saw the news, she recognized the company logo and had the idea that it was too soon to be a coincidence .

He knew she would figure it out even without directly telling her . This matter is very important to him . There should be no room for mistakes .

As to why they had yet to visit the doctor? Well, for one, the engagement happened . It was difficult for them if people caught them together in an obstetrics clinic . Also, she had been really busy with the transition . Her brother is also a good observer . It was really hard to sneak out .

Nevertheless, since she was going to Country N the following day, they made time to be with each other for the night .

"Darling, should we . . . " Dan had a suggestive smile .

She frowned . "What if there's a . . . "

Her lips were sealed with his and the words she was about to speak were flooded with other thoughts and sensations .

"I'm really hoping that there is, but just in case . . . " He slid his arms to hold her and carried her like a princess into the house, straight to their room .

"But I might get stressed in City T . If I'm pregnant, I . . . "

"When you get pregnant, I'll face your mother . " He seriously cut her off . He also changed the 'if' to a when, being certain that he could get her pregnant, and that it will only be a matter of time .

"Are you sure? My mother is a bigger boss in City T . " She giggled .

"If I get killed, remember that I love you . " He gave her a peck and he flashed his smile .
