Chapter 75 - Childish (1/2)
Yera stopped for a while to inhale and exhale loudly before she opened the door and entered Xander's office. As soon as she was inside, a warm and tight hug from her father-in-law caught her off guard that helped to cool down her irritation towards Xander.
”Look at my daughter in law. I bet she's not even sleeping properly with those dark circles in her eyes. What are you doing Xander? How dare you not to take care of your wife properly!” Senior Yang exaggeratedly hissed to his son as he loosened the hug and took a proper look at Yera.
Then Senior Yang stared at Yera as he shook his head and added, ”I can't believe how careless and thoughtless my son is. Oh daughter, I understand that you're working hard to gain that name and so you can get the interest of Life Globals group but then I think, at this point, it's no longer necessary since they already tried to pouch you. So please lay low on doing operations everyday. Also that herbal supplements, make sure to not miss on taking it or else this old man will feel sad and neglected.”
Yera felt touched with her father-in-law's careful consideration and thought for her that made her release a warm and genuine smile. ”Yes father… I will not miss taking the supplements. Thank you so much.” she said in her most touched voice.
”That's my daughter. I understand your sentiments but health is important. In order to nail success in every goal, one should prioritize health first because what's the sense of achieving something if you'll get sick along the process?” Senior Yang explained more.
Xander watched Yera who looked so warm and yearning… Yes he could clearly saw yearning in Yera's eyes and facial expressions. His wife yearned for a familial love and he was glad that she could get it from his dad.
He watched as the two talked more while they sat on the couch. After a while, Senior Yang stood up and bid farewell to the couple.
”You don't have to walk me out son.” said Senior Yang when Xander stood up to walk him out. ”You two stay in here for a while and spend more time together okay?” Senior Yang teased with a wide grin. He even made an okay sign with his hand before leaving Xander's office.
Outside, he saw assistant Ron and secretary Ness who slightly bowed to show respect. He paused in front of them and instructed, ”Make sure no one would disturb those two whenever they are together inside. Alright?”
The two looked at each other before they answered in unison, ”Noted Sir. We'll do!”
Senior Yang walked but paused once more and turned around as he added, ”Also make sure those two won't miss those supplements okay? If you two forgot any of my instructions you will not get extra bonus from me.”
The two immediately nodded and said, ”Yes Sir. We will take note and make sure to comply!”
......…
As soon as her father-in-law left Yera turned around to glare at Xander. Her narrowed sharp eyes almost killed him on the spot that Xander was taken aback as he murmured, ”Why are you killing me Darling?”
Yera's eyebrows raised as her eyes enlarged this time as she hissed, ”Darling?! Huh Darling? Are you aware that everyone now was looking at me from head to toe like I'm a specimen under a microscope?!”
Xander came to know at that moment what was the cause of Yera's fiery glaring. For a second, he wanted to hide because he knew how important it was for Yera not to disclose even a tiny hint to others about their relationship.
But of course, he was Xander Yang. No fiery glances, no sharp piercing eyes and not even those burning anger or irritation would beat his shamelessness in any way.
