Chapter 259 - A Guilty Child (1/2)

With an ashen face, •Adam• was sitting in the driver's seat with Stella sitting next to him in the shotgun seat. Every now and then, she would steal a glance in his direction as he continued to sit quietly in his seat. With every glance, she would purse her lips more together, trying her best to suppress the laughter which was threatening to burst through her lips.

When she couldn't take it anymore, she let her lips loose and a loud, heartfelt laughter slaughtered through the quietness engulfing the car. With her hands resting on her stomach, she laughed out loud, trying to not roll down of her seat.

•Adam's• expression turned more dark when he saw her laughing at his expense. The mere thought of not being able to feel her warm, wet core around his member, was enough to ruin his mood. And now, here he was, being laughed at.

”Don't you dare to think that I have forgotten about you eating pizzas all day long even though your doctor said no to them.” He gritted his teeth. His words were enough to stop her laughing fit.

Like a guilty child, Stella sat up straight in her seat with her eyes casted down on her knotted fingers which were resting on her lap.

”What happened? Why aren't you laughing now?” He questioned her again, shifting slightly in his seat so that he was facing her. He shook his head sideways when he didn't get a response from her. ”Sweetheart, why are you so neglectful towards your health? I am not saying this because you are pregnant. I am saying this for you. You do know how concerned I am when it comes to your health.”

She nodded her head in response. ”It was before my previous appointment. You know how much I was craving for some cheesy dish. I didn't eat them after getting a scolding from her last time.” She muttered softly, still keeping her eyes fixed on her lap.

A light sarcastic chuckle was heard before she felt herself being pulled in his laps. ”Do you take me as a fool?” He spoke next to her ear after making sure that she was comfortable settled in his lap. ”Are you forgetting that my first day on job as David, I went back to your place with you. And guess what I was eating when you broke that glass vase? Some leftover pizza which definitely had double the amount of cheese than usual.”

His words shut her mouth down. He was right. She was too stupid to even think that she could fool him this easily. Before she could say anything else, he continued. ”And if you were craving something cheesy, you could have just asked the chef to make it for you.”

”I'm sorry.” She muttered meekly as she shifted slightly in his lap and buried her face in the crook of his neck.

”It's not about sorry, my love. It's about your health. And you do know that our babies solely depend on you for their nutrition.” He added, hugging her closer.

”I will be more careful about the things I eat from onwards.” She spoke up against his neck.

”Of course, you will. I will be there to keep an eye on you from now on.” He stroked the back of her head before placing a kiss on top of her crown. ”By the way, why did you shift to that penthouse? I keep forgetting to ask you about it. Moreover, why was there no one there back then besides you. I mean not even a single maid.” He questioned her.

The duo had been using their room at the company for sleeping and showering as both of them were too busy dealing with their works regarding the take over. Every department was supposed to submit their files to the vice president of the company as soon as they get done with every assigned task. The vice president, in turn, was supposed to submit them to her through her personal assistant, David.

Parker was too busy dealing with the arrangements of the banquet which would take place after the takeover of R&E Group of Companies to celebrate the hard work of their employees and to announce the good news to the remaining business world. Hence, Stella asked him to just pass the files directly to her, without making sure that everything was done perfectly. She decided to do it herself as it would not be good overwork the poor guy.

Engulfed in their busy routines, the couple barely got any time left for each other. It was during the meals that they were able to enjoy each other's company, or at night when Adam would force her to sleep after snatching away all of her files. Their busy routines confined them to the company premises, not letting them go back to her penthouse and relax for a while.

”Are you going to answer me or not, sweetheart.” •Adam• asked her when he didn't get a response from her.

”Umm….” Stella tried her best to put her thoughts into words, but failed to do so.

”Take your time, my love. I am not going anywhere before you answer me, and neither are you.” He tightened his hold around her and murmured in her ear.
