Chapter 563 - Big Boss Is Bringing A Woman To Office (1/2)

”So?” Alaric would ask every morning as they have breakfast, and each time Aleksis would answer by shaking her head. It would always be followed by her husband's disappointed sigh. ”Why don't you want to check it?”

”Jeez, you ... it's only been two weeks,” Aleksis said after the third day.

Alaric scowled and she could no longer bear to look at his expression, so she burst out laughing.

”It's been almost 3 weeks, huh,” Alaric said in a protesting tone. ”We met again on October 2, on your birthday, and that night we made love until morning, don't you remember? You got pregnant with Altair and Vega on the first try.”

Aleksis pressed her lips together while laughing, ”How did you know that it was from the first try? For almost a week, we did 'that' every day ...”

”I just know ...” The man replied, stubbornly.

She rolled her eyes and smiled. However, she knew that Alaric was right. When they first made love, she was secretly hoping to have his child. That was why she did not prevent Alaric from releasing his seeds inside her. At that time, she had a hunch that if she fell pregnant, it would help her force her family to accept the man she loved.

Ten years later, all of her dreams came true. They reunited as husband and wife with the blessings of their two families and even had two lovely children.

From now on, their lives together would only be filled with happiness and love.

”Honey, the best time to find out about pregnancy is one week after I am supposed to have my period, so the results can be more accurate,” Aleksis said. ”I don't like to check every day like a fool. It's better to be patient and wait.”

”So have you missed your period?” Alaric asked in a probing tone.

She nodded, ”Yes, but it's only been a few days. I want to wait for a week.”

”All right ... I'll learn to be patient,” Alaric finally said. He finished his breakfast and then prepared to leave for the office. ”I've been on leave from my job for almost three weeks. It's time to go back to the office and take care of various things. Tonight, there will be a big party as a celebration for Virconnect's fourth anniversary.”

”Ah ... it must be fun. The event is held in the St. Laurent Hotel's ballroom, right?” Aleksis asked as she stood up. Two robot servants immediately cleared the dining table. ”Isn't it better for me to wait for you there? If I go to your office, I'm afraid I'd distract you from work.”

”You never disturb me,” he said. ”Come on ... you can accompany me in the office all morning, then you can go to St. Laurent after we have lunch. I will have to attend many meetings in the office starting at noon.”

In the end, Aleksis relented. She wore a casual summer dress, which looked beautiful as it wrapped around her beautiful body. She wasn't wearing any makeup at all. Alaric was always amazed seeing that Aleksis had a very high resistance to cold and did not feel the need to wear an autumn coat even though the temperature outside had dropped to ten degrees Celsius.

They walked hand in hand towards the car and departed along with two android guards that were tasked with ensuring their safety.

At RMI Tower, their appearance instantly garnered attention and rumors. Alaric never came to the office with a woman, except for those few times with his cousin Sophia, who had now resigned.

Even more surprising was that Alaric casually walked in without ever releasing his grip on her hand. Their gestures seemed very intimate.

They must have a special relationship, the people around eventually concluded.
