Chapter 346 - Arranged Marriage (1/2)

By the time that Sean, Halia, and Jackson returned to the hotel, it was almost midnight.

While they were gone, Natalie had been sitting anxiously in her hotel room by herself. Her husband was going after a killer and her best friend was going after a corrupt officer that tried to kidnap her, so she was naturally worried.

Her life was like a drama - a drama in which she was of no help at all...

As soon as she heard the door of her hotel room open, she jumped straight up.

”A pregnant woman can't be stressed like this,” she said when she saw the trio finally return. ”Did you know that stress can have potentially harmful effects on the brain and development of an unborn baby?”

Sean quickly ran over and kissed his wife. ”Does this take your stress away?” he asked. He understood how she felt, but this was the kind of life he led and she knew that when she married him.

Natalie's face immediately softened as she smiled. This man always knew what to do. She pouted her lips and closed her eyes, ”One more kiss.”

While the two were displaying their affection again, Jackson looked at Halia and said, ”Did you hear that? No more crime-fighting and stressing about the organization. Leave everything with Trisha and Interpol, they will handle it.”

Halia looked at her husband and nodded her head. As she did so, she suddenly felt like vomiting again and rushed into the bathroom.

Natalie turned her head in surprise, ”Was she disgusted by us kissing again?”

Jackson smiled warmly and shook his head, ”She's just got morning sickness...”

Sean looked at Jackson in confusion, ”Morning sickness? But, it's the middle of the ni...”

Before he finished speaking, Natalie suddenly interrupted. Although nausea during pregnancy was often called, 'morning sickness', it could actually occur at any time of the day. Of course, Sean had no idea, but Natalie knew this well. However, her mind was not focused on the timing, she was shocked that her best friend was even experiencing morning sickness at all. ”Is Halia pregnant?!!” she squealed, trying to contain her excitement.

Jackson laughed and nodded his head, ”We just found out at the hospital.”

Natalie's eyes lit up and she immediately pounced on Halia as soon as she stepped out of the bathroom. ”If we give birth to different genders, let's get our kids married to each other!! That way we can be family!” she said.

Halia looked at her friend in surprise and realized Jackson had announced the good news.

With a laugh, she replied, ”Don't you think it's a bit too early to think about that? Besides, what era are we living in? Arranged marriages are so outdated.”

Natalie shook her head stubbornly, ”I'm sure our children will like each other. With my personality and your looks, our grandchildren are going to be perfect!”

”Grandchildren?!” Sean, Jackson, and Halia exclaimed.

This woman was really getting ahead of herself...

...

At this time, over in Russia, Boginya received a call from Hong Kong, ”Interpol suddenly increased security around Trojan and we can't get our people anywhere near him. It seems someone warned them about us.”

Boginya furrowed her brows. Her organization spanned multiple countries and she had members of all different levels of influence, but for some reason, this mere SPU agent seemed to also have connections everywhere. Worst of all, she was always one step ahead.
