Chapter 525 - Five Hundred And Twenty-five: Emerald Is A White Swan (1/2)

The third point of view:

Cecil was stunned when someone closed the lid of her laptop. Her gaze trailed up to rest on Emerald, her soon-to-be husband.

”Rest your eyes, you've been staring at the screen for over five hours,” He said. No, that was an order.

Cecil sighed. What could she do? Emerald stopped her from going to work with the claim that she shouldn't stress the baby. Now, all of her workloads were handed over to her assistant, and could only work from home for a limited time - he made sure to monitor her working hours as well.

So after the meeting with the girls -Reina and Emily, she decided to play some games on her laptop - something she hasn't done in a long time until recently. Cecil had been so engaged with work, Pedro, and making money she's forgotten how fun such leisure could be. But then, her husband ruined it again.

Yes, Cecil was grateful for the fact that she had someone by her side during her pregnancy this time unlike Pedro's. Emerald was sweet and all but his overprotectiveness was beginning to get on her nerves. He was babysitting her. She was a pregnant woman, not a baby!

Fine, she would endure. Yes, endure Cecil. A few months more and you'll be free from this ordeal. She encouraged herself.

”Fine,” She sighed, placing the device by the side of the couch and leaned her head back.

”You're not happy,” Emerald detected with a frown. He had been careful enough to treat her well and observe the rules and regulations Reina and Niklaus gave him as well. Has he done anyone wrong?

”What is it?” He pressed, ”Talk to me, Cecil,”

Cecil turned her gaze on him, ”I'm bored,”

”Bored?”

”I can't work. I can't play games. I can't even watch movies. And I'm tired of sleeping plus the fact that excess sleeping would make me fat. So tell me, Emerald, if you were in my shoes, wouldn't you be irritated?” she questioned him sternly.

Emerald scratched his head, what was he going to do? His wife was upset? Then he asked cautiously, ”What do you want to do then?”

”Well,” Cecil threw her hands up, ”I don't know. Most of the things I want to do are marked red by you,”

Emerald felt guilty, had he overdone his duty, ”So there's anything that can keep you entertained?” he wanted to be sure before he relaxed the rules.

”Yes, there is nothing....” Cecil faltered at once as an idea hit her like a flashbulb. Her lips tugged to the side with a delighted glint in her eyes, ”There's indeed something,”.

Emerald shivered, hoping to God he wasn't going to regret this - he knew that look in her eyes. Well, this was for his wife and the sake of his kid. He would make a great sacrifice.

”Follow me,” Cecil stood, grabbed his hand, and dragged him to his feet before he could even obey the order.

Although he was hesitant about this surprise of hers, the smile on Cecil's face made him content. That was all he wanted, for her to be happy. And like a lamb to the sacrifice, he followed her. Willingly. Yes, a willing sacrifice.
