Chapter 486 - Penguin (2/2)
Yera suddenly stuffed his mouth with a bun of bread to silence him. The couple shared a hearty lunch together like their old times when Yera was still working at Yang Globals before joining her own hospital in disguise.
”Ron and Shan will come back tomorrow, right?” Yera recalled as she put more vegetables on Xander's plate.
Xander's face soured and mumbled, ”That brute… He should be here today, but he said they missed the flight. Imagine that alibi?”
Yera laughed and said, ”It's only a day so let him besides he and Shan need that time since they will be busy again once they are back.”
Xander no longer commented.
”You should eat more… Why are you putting all the food on my plate?” Xander reacted and put more on Yera's plate.
”Remember, our three babies are inside darling.” he added and touched Yera's enormous belly lovingly.
”I'm keeping my sugar level down. I don't want a high-risk pregnancy. Don't worry I'm feeding them well enough okay,” Yera replied chuckling. Her babies cooperated with her well. She actually did not find any discomfort except for the fact that of course they were heavier than a normal pregnancy since they were triplets inside her belly.
”A few more weeks and I will walk like a penguin already,” she said in a jest and Xander laughed.
”Is it funny, huh?” Yera irritatedly hissed, which made Xander scratch his head. Yera also had those mood swings during her pregnancy, but he knew well how to handle it. The secret for it was him always agreeing with her in anything and making his wife feel better with kind words.
His condition was far better than his brother Dion, and he was luckier because Dion said Rizie often had this temperament where everything he did annoyed Rizie.
”No… Of course not, darling. I find it too cute, you know. You're so cute in my eyes.” Xander commented, followed by a sweet hug to Yera.
”Later you massage me instead!” Yera barked. She herself was stunned on how she couldn't control herself spurting childing things, so what she would often do was to apologize to her husband in advance or make it up to him whenever she was in her good mood.
Xander immediately spoke his famous words, ”Yes, darling.”
”You should stay home by then and remember to not exhaust yourself. I'm excited to find out their genders already, to be honest…” Xander added to divert the topic, though he knew they would need to wait a few more months.
After lunch, the couple rested in each other's arms for a while inside the private room while watching the news. Yera noticed an exercising machine at one corner, so she asked, ”Is that new?”
”Yeah. It's your fault that I bought that. I will try it in my free time in the office to have a six-pack abs so next time you won't need to drool over some actor and fix your eyes only on my abs.”
Yera's eyes widened in disbelief as she turned to stare at Xander's serious face. ”Fore real? You're still sulking over the abs thing?”
Xander did not respond, but the pouting of his lips answered it all. Yera shook her head and burst out laughing.
