302 Kitchen Madness 1

"Hey, no running in the hallway!" Bryan spread his arms as if he was skydiving. His attempt to reach Selina's room first was apparent.

"You seriously think your flimsy and weak arm can stop me?" Alfred squinted his eyes and shot the annoying brother a sharp glance. He imitated Bryan's actions and wiggled his arms like seaweed to demonstrate the meaning of his words.

"Hah! I'm only following the hospital rules!" Bryan proudly snorted as he paced his way down the hall. They were so rushed that the nurses thought they were in a hurry to the maternity unit. However, from the way they spoke to each other, it sounded more like a competition.

Their shoving and kicking caught the attention of many staff members along their way to Selina's room. In the meantime, Aaron took his sweet time with the luggage he had with him.

The second Selina's room number appeared in Bryan's sight, a naughty laugh escaped his mouth. "Hahahaha! I will beat you!"

As the two continued childishly rushing down the hall, Aaron patiently awaited the elevator while greeting their wives. A dangerous smile curved on his lips as he sent a picture of Bryan and Alfred's luggage in the trio group chat that he was in. As soon as he saw the messages immediately noticed by the two lovely wives, he knew those two husbands would regret forgetting their luggage.

In a blink of an eye, Selina was discharged from the hospital. She was energized and felt included in everyone's daily mountains of messages. As soon as her phone was faced down, she would feel the vibration of a new notification.

While she enjoyed her family's company, she wanted peace and quiet sometimes. However, having such a warm, harmonious family was a blessing. Since her family cared so much for her, she didn't have the heart to dwell on minor matters.

Although she would always have someone accompanying her and a swarm of messages as entertainment, they knew when to give her a break. Hence, at a specific time of the day, they will stop messaging her as often to provide her with a sufficient amount of rest.

"Haha." Selina received another spam of messages from her girls' group chat.

"What's so funny, wife? I want to laugh too." Jason circled his arm around her waist. He softly smiled as he felt satisfied with the weight she gained from eating nutritious food.

"Bryan and Alfred are making up to my girls. Haha. Who told them to forget their luggage with Aaron? They should have known better since their wives' snacks and souvenir requests were all stuffed in those suitcases." Selina giggled sillily. Her sweet laughs were contagious to Jason, carving a joyful smile.

"Ah.." She suddenly stretched her head back. At the same time, Jason moved his arm from her waist to her shoulders. Ever since she conceived, she's been stretching her neck. She closed her eyes as if she was resting.

"If you're too tired from all these messages, you should tell them you're tired. You can reply later." Jason reminded her while his fingertips busily massaged her sore neck. Before she was discharged, he had asked and done some research on massaging women during pregnancy. He was extra careful with his strength to rub her neck, as some acupuncture points cannot be pressed on.

"Mm...Hubby's hands are getting more and more skilled. It feels so good." She let out a low moan.

His eyes darkened when he heard the provocative moans escaping her lips. It's been a while since their last intimacy. He had endured for quite a time. However, he knew there was a limit to what he should and should not do during the early months of pregnancy. For the health of the little one, he held his desires back.

"I can't believe everything is over now." Selina's eyelashes fluttered as if she was reminiscing what had happened in the past months. Everything that was a mess in her mind was not cleared.

"Wife, are you still thinking about Lia?" Although Selina did not speak her thoughts, as her husband, how could he not know what her mind focused on. After Master Liam got captured by them, Bryan and his buddies served him quite well. One can only say karma slapped him so hard that he will never forget it, even in the afterlife.

"I guess nothing can escape your eyes. Lia is a very kind woman. I never expected that douchebag to be Antonio. After all, I thought they had conflicts, or he disliked her. But how she left and even left her people to help us out in the crucial moment...I feel so bad for her." Selina felt her nose turn sour when she thought of Lia and the baby inside her.

Though Lia chooses to keep the baby in the end, it will be complicated to go through motherhood alone. As a pregnant woman, she was already struggling with certain things and was in the early stages of pregnancy. Questions arose in Selina's mind as she thought of how Lia was doing.

"But there is a certain limit to what you can do for her. We tried looking for her and searching for her whereabouts already, but it seems like she hid her new identity well. Unless she shows up herself, we won't be able to find her." Jason remembered the report he received after he asked his men to find out Lia's situation.

Selina let out a low sigh, but Jason still heard it. She understood there was a limit to what she could do for her. After Master Liam's incident, Antonio often visited her, asking about Lia. But she could do nothing for him because she didn't know anything. She would keep it from him even if she knew unless Lia personally permitted her to disclose it.

"Alright, let's not think about anything stressful. What do my beautiful wife and little one want to eat for dinner? I'll make it for you." Jason's palm rested on her abdomen, where a slight bulge could be seen if one were to look carefully.

"Mmmmmmmm...I want to play kitchen by myself! I have a new recipe I want to try, but I don't want you to help me with it. You delayed so much work, so you must catch up on our company. Don't forget that Aaron needs his rest too. You can't pay your assistant double the salary to care for two companies, right?" She pressed her palm against the leather couch. After standing up, she stretched her arms like a cross before turning back to Jason and giving him a deep smile.

It was as if she was silently telling him to go to work before she decides to interfere with company management. Yes, it was a harmless threat to him.

"Okay. Okay. I will get to work while my dear wife cooks, but if you need to reach for something on the high shelves and cabinets, let me know." He raised his arms in surrender mode. As usual, he had a soft spot for his wife. Besides, she was right about his piled-up work. As a CEO, he can't afford to delay too much work or take too many days off. Even though their companies ran smoothly, he still needed to ensure that his income would increase to afford more diapers and milk formulas when the baby came.
