Chapter 487 - SUSPICION (1/2)

In the master bedroom at Azure Woods, Zhong Feng put aside his phone and pulled Hu Lei back into his arms. One of the hidden motion sensor alarms had detected an intruder. However, after checking the video feed, he calmed down. He did not need to do anything.

”Is it Kaito?” Hu Lei asked as she snuggled into Zhong Feng's arms.

”Yeah. It seems he is back and in one piece. He even has the guts to sneak into our home.” Zhong Feng responded with a strange smile.

”Don't give him a hard time. He has probably been through a lot.” Hu Lei mumbled.

”Alright. Go back to sleep.”

Zhong Feng smiled again. He did not plan on giving Kaito a hard time. The man would have enough on his plate for a few months. He wished he could see the man's face once he realised he was going to have a baby. He would probably fall into an embarrassing faint.

In the guest bedroom, Kaito was struggling not to faint. However, it was difficult to remain conscious due to his shortness of breath and light-headedness. He did not even have the presence of mind to help Akira sit up on the bed. So, she could only prop herself up with her elbows.

”Cup your hands over your mouth and breathe,” Akira said flatly with a hint of derision.

Kaito heard the mocking tone and felt like he had lost his face and dignity. He slowed down his breathing through sheer will, and his heart rate slowly went down. When he recovered, he found that Akira was already sitting up.

However, her face did not show happiness. She even looked pissed off.

”It is fine if you do not want the baby. I am perfectly capable of raising my child alone.” She said with a closed-off expression.

Kaito realised that his panic was not well received. She obviously thought he was not interested in their child. But how could that be? To him, a child made up of his and Akira's genes was the most perfect thing he could think of.

However, he did not know if he could be a father.

He had not thought so far ahead when he got into a relationship with Akira. But faced with the situation, he felt inadequate. He never had a father. The person who raised him taught him how to fight and kill. How could he hope to be a good father?

However, those were his insecurities.

Regardless of his fears, he would never fail his Akira. With that in mind, he pulled Akira into his arms and hugged her. She resisted for a moment, but she could not free herself from his strong arms. And after a few moments, she felt the comfort and familiarity of his arms.

A deep relaxation flowed through her body as she took in his scent of cherry blossom and mint. It was a little lighter than usual, but she could sense it. And it gave her the feeling of home. Of course, she was not willing to let things go just like that.

”I am serious, Kaito. Tell me if you do not want my child.” She said, even as she leaned on him.

”Our child.” He corrected. ”And I want our child. I was just a little surprised.”

Akira snorted. ”Do you suspect it is someone else's?”
