Chapter 271: Together, Forever! (1/2)
Saturday evening,
”Do I have to attend the banquet?” Stella spoke up with a frustrated expression as her eyes lingered over the dress before her which was hanging on a clothing rack. Just like always, it was Katherine who had sent her this along with some matching accessories. The dress was very simple yet elegant, perfect to go with her personality. Moreover, it was black and designed like a frock, which would help her in keeping the news about her pregnancy a secret for a little longer. Not that it was visible, but she was clearly putting on some weight.
”Of course, you do, silly woman. It's your company's event.” Adam spoke up without moving from his place. He was leisurely lying down on the couch in the living room, with his hands tucked under his head.
”Umm…Excuse me, Mister!” She turned her head around to have a better look at him. ”Whose company are you talking about?” She raised an eyebrow and asked him.
”You are the CEO of the company, my dear little wifey.” He shifted his head slightly so that he was facing her. ”What whatever belongs to me, is yours as well. And that includes this humble servant of yours.” He tilted his chin towards himself as he added the latter part.
”When are you going to take over the company again? You know how tiring it is for me in my current state?” She complained to him, pursing her lips in a pout.
Hearing her complaints, he heaved out a tired sigh as he got up from the couch. Walking up to where she was standing, he hugged her from behind. ”I know it's tiring for you, my love. I am so sorry for putting you and our babies through this.” He apologized to her as he buried his face in the crook of her neck. If only things were any different, he wouldn't have even allowed her to step inside the company in her current state. He would have showered her and their babies with all the love and care he could.
”Stop with your apologise already.” She rolled her eyes as she leaned against him. ”Together, forever! Get it?” She muttered next to his face, her fingers interweaving through the locks of his hair.
Adam hummed lowly into her neck and hugged her tighter. ”I hate myself for not giving you a proper wedding, sweetheart.”
”You know what is more important than a proper ceremony? The feelings between two people who are bound in that relationship. I don't give a damn about some fancy ceremony as long as you want to spend the rest of your life with me.” She added with a smile. ”And don't tell me that you are having second thoughts about marrying me?”
”I can never have second thoughts about you, my love.” He answered her, squeezing her waist tighter. ”It's not like I have a choice anyways now that I have knocked you up.” He added in a mischievous tone as he began to caress her belly.
