Chapter 853 - Embrace It (1/2)

Xiu even put his head on her shoulder as she caressed his head saying, ”Xiao Bobo, some people are irreplaceable in our lives. You're are the irreplaceable one for me. All of these people came into my only now, you have always been a part of my life.” She chuckled at his puerile act and added, ”And you don't have to be jealous of anyone. Even if I call Jackie my favorite brother, he can't be you. He is dear to me but you'd always have your own place in my life. Stop comparing yourself to others because the comparison isn't fair for others. You'll always have the advantage over others.”

Han Bohai let himself rest his head on her shoulder and felt relaxed hearing her words. It was his morose expression that didn't escape her eyes. Even today, she knew him best. She could understand his mind with just one look. He didn't have to voice out that he felt wronged, she'd always know it.

She ruffled his hair, ”Now, would you stop sulking? It really doesn't suit you. Haven't you always been cool and debonair? What changed while I was gone that you turned into a kid?”

”I missed you,” he said as he hugged her.

”You already said that,” she told him.

”Well, I want to say it again,” he said stubbornly. ”I really missed you a lot!”

”I know,” she replied. ”I missed you a lot as well.”

Han Bohai's lips curved up slightly as he continued to enjoy this comfortable silence between them. Her hand on his head was really comforting. She had always been the one who could calm his raging emotions. She just had that control over him. Her one look was enough to make him get his act together.

Even though there were years between them, the feelings didn't change. He realized he still loved her intensely. He also realized her touch and her words had the same magical affect on him as his mother did. And since her gentleness and tenderness had always reminded him of his mother, he suddenly felt like he finally found a warm embrace again. The feeling was indescribable!

”By the way, now that you're jealous of little Jackie, I wonder if you're planning on being jealous of your nephew as well,” Xiu was the one who broke the spell of silence as this thought suddenly crossed her mind. Since her husband had been getting more and more jealous of their little tiger, she couldn't help thinking about it now.

Han Bohai lifted his head abruptly, ”Oh, I suddenly remembered. You're pregnant! I'm going to be an uncle soon!”

”Not soon,” replied Xiu seeing his excitement. ”There are still over 8 months before that time comes. Don't scare me by saying 'soon' as if it's gonna happen tomorrow.”

”Why are you scared?” he asked in confusion.

Xiu stared at him squarely, ”Why don't you try giving birth in my place? Let's see if get scared of it or not?”

Han Bohai chuckled seeing her fuming like that, ”Sister Xiu, even after everything, you're merely being a coward before childbirth? I didn't expect that from you! Even death couldn't bring you down and you're gonna let this little kid dance all over your will?”

Xiu tucked her hair behind her ear saying, ”Now, that you put it like this... I agree. How can I let myself get scared of this? I've been through worse.” She looked at him and added, ”But I'm still scared. Let me be!”

Han Bohai laughed at her and told her, ”Actually, I won't be jealous of my nephew.”

”Really?”
