713 Kicked Ou (2/2)
”Sorry, Daddy. Meow…”
He sighed and started massaging his forehead after seeing the virtual white cat's pitiful expression. Her cute head was lowered in a wounded manner while her eyes glistened with tears. When Jin Liwei spoke again, his tone couldn't help but become gentle. What could he do? He already claimed the naughty chatterbox cat AI as his child. He couldn't just treat Ketchup as someone insignificant.
”Call the butler,” he instructed. ”Make it quiet. Don't wake your mom. Oh, and don't tell your mom about anything you'll hear from this conversation. Understood?”
”Oh oh oh! A secret! Meow! Okie dokie, Daddy! The cute and mighty Ketchup won't tell Mommy. Promise! Ketchup will now call Uncle Butler in 3…2…1!”
The butler's polite, slightly cold tone answered after only two rings. He sounded like he always did, no signs of sleep in his voice, even though it was already so late in the night. ”Hello, Young Miss Ketchup. How may I help you?”
”It's me,” Jin Liwei said.
The butler didn't miss a beat and smoothly greeted Jin Liwei. ”Master.”
”Buy some home pregnancy test kits. Hand them to me when I return home from work tomorrow evening. Don't let your mistress know.”
”Understood, Master. Consider it done.”
”Good.”
After the call, Jin Liwei also bid good night to Ketchup who sounded disappointed. The talkative cat AI looked like she still wanted to chat with him. Too bad that he was in no mood tonight to deal with her gossiping mouth that she inherited from Dominic Chua.
With a last look at the bedroom door, he closed his eyes. It was difficult to sleep at first despite feeling exhausted because he was already missing his baby girl so badly and yearning for the feel of her in his arms. There were several times he almost stood up to return to the bedroom but stopped himself. He still felt a little pissed off at her for roaring at him without giving him a chance to talk before kicking him out.
'Just you wait, woman. Don't think you can get away for yelling at me and kicking me out without paying the consequences.'
He smirked at the thought of what he was going to do to her the next time they had an alone time together. Tomorrow, maybe. But his smirk disappeared and his eyes darkened instead when he realized that a bulge was starting to grow and stiffen underneath his satin robe.
