Miya listens to Alex. What Alex says is consistent with what she knows. But...
“Why did you leave in a hurry the next day? Didn’t you even have time to explain to me?”
Miya looks at Alex and seems to say, “I’m not stupid.”
Alex is helpless. “I really didn’t have time. At that time, a client was talking with us about Alex Group’s overseas expansion project. I couldn’t lose this project.”
Miya said, “so work is more important than me.”
Alex smiles helplessly. He watches Miya pout and kisses her. He pecks at her mouth. “Work is not as important as my wife.”
“Then why did you give up explaining to me for work?” Miya doesn’t blush. She’s used to it anyway.
“You’ll know why later.” Alex pretends to be mysterious.
Miya slaps Alex on the chest. “If you don’t want to say it, let me know.”
Alex hugs Miya and puts his face on her hair and smells it. He says in Miya’s ear, “honey, I seem to have a reaction.”
Miya thinks she’s not used to Alex’s such behavior, “so you want me?”
Alex puts his hand on Miya’s raised stomach and his voice is hoarse. “Baby, you’ve made your father suffer. I’ll teach you a lesson after you’re born.”
Miya just wants to laugh at Alex. She suddenly feels a kick in the stomach.
Alex feels it, too. He is surprised and says, “you’re protesting against your father!”
Miya looks at them and her eyes are gentle.
During the day, the children surrounded Miya and he had no chance to speak to the fetus. Today, he must spend the whole night talking with the fetus.
“Baby, you must be obedient and don’t let your mother suffer. You can be willful after you are born. Don’t pretend to be an adult like your brothers and sisters. You have to be a little childish!”
Alex lies on Miya’s stomach and is proud to be a father.
Alex usually only reads financial newspapers. He buys a bunch of mother and baby magazines and parenting books to care for Miya who is pregnant.
Alice is surprised but she doesn’t say anything. The most she can do is to bring the document to Alex. “President, please sign.”
But Alex commissions Randy to buy the magazines and books. Randy calls and complains.
“Alex, she is not my wife! When I buy these books, people ask me how long my wife has been pregnant. I don’t even have a wife. Do I have to get married now?”
Alex thinks Randy has a point. Maybe there’s something he has to do on his own.
Alex doesn’t say anything, and Randy says, “Alex, you’ve got a lot of kids. Your experience of parenting should be sufficient. You don’t need a parenting book! I think The author’s children are not as many as yours.”
“Shut up!” Alex yells. He misses Miya’s first delivery. Otherwise, he will never want Miya to give birth again.
After all, when he thinks of seeing Miya puking in pain at the coffee shop, he regrets it.
He always thinks pregnancy is easy. He just needs to make sure Miya is healthy, but according to the parenting books he reads these days, pregnant women are always in danger.
