Chapter 488 - BACK TO MOUNTAIN RIDGE (1/2)

The following day, Kaito and Akira woke up late after a long night of catching up. Even though they did not sleep a lot, their faces were radiant as they walked into the living room hand in hand. Their smiles looked as wide as a clown's.

Hu Lei looked up from her computer. She was catching up on some of her correspondence from her publisher, Bo Qian. Originally, she planned to drop her writing career after publishing 'Forgive Me, Father', but she had resumed writing during her pregnancy.

If she had not, she would have been driven mad by doing nothing.

”Have you heard of a certain invention called a door?” Hu Lei asked Kaito.

”Doors are for suckers,” Kaito said.

He wanted to continue when he noticed Xiao Bao in the white playpen behind Hu Lei. His eyes widened as he released Akira's hand and walked to the small structure. He bent down and looked at the child with blazing eyes.

Xiao Bao looked at the person looking down at him with derision. He did not like people who were too passionate about him. Every time someone approached his little self with interest, he would feel very suspicious.

Kaito did not know he had been labelled suspicious in the growing mind. Therefore, he stretched his hands and picked out Xiao Bao from the playpen.

”Who are you?” Kaito asked in a terrible baby voice. ”Did the bad lady kidnap you?”

Xiao Bao looked with more contempt at Kaito. His amber eyes were quite similar to Hu Lei's, so their expressions of looking down on people were almost similar. Kaito was most familiar with that look because it reminded him of the young Hu Lei.

”I am your uncle, Kaito. Follow me, and you will rise to the summit.” Kaito said happily.

Akira sat down opposite Hu Lei and looked at Kaito. She smiled as she looked at him, making the worst faces at the baby. The burden in her heart lifted completely. Even though she believed Kaito would be there for her and Little Precious, she was afraid he was forcing himself.

It would have been different if they discovered her pregnancy together because he would have had time to process the issue and get used to the idea. Finding out his girlfriend was six months pregnant had to be quite shocking.

”Are you feeling better?” Hu Lei smiled knowingly.

Akira had been a little listless for the past few days. She looked like a zombie, dragging her feet everywhere with a long face. Now, she looked radiant. Moreover, she had even put a little more effort into her grooming, so she looked like a sweet cute lady.

”Yeah.” Akira smiled with pink cheeks. ”Thank you. Thank you for keeping your promise.”

The large eyes looked like those of a cute small animal. Hu Lei felt a little awkward at being looked at with such enthusiasm and adoration. However, she also realised it was not bad to do good things once in a while. Maybe, she should try doing a few more nice things.

As she told Yuan Haoran, she did believe in karma despite her dark past life. Engaging in more positive activities would be good for her, Zhong Feng and Xiao Bao. Of course, it was a fleeting thought at that moment.
