Chapter 167 – Feeling Neglected
"Sorry dear! Last night when you got off the plane you fell asleep very soundly, I didn't have the heart to wake you up. And early in the morning I have to go to the office because I have a little problem I have to take care of!". Charles said smiling from behind the screen seeing Jennifer's bent face with messy hair.
"We should have a honeymoon but it turns out that my charm is inferior to your work, I don't want to talk to you!". Jennifer looked away from the screen with a pout.
"For a while I sulk, then I will continue my work, you don't forget to have breakfast and clean up, honey!".
After saying that Charles immediately turned off the video call.
Jennifer's expression darkened, she was really annoyed with Charles' attitude which she thought was indifferent and began to not care about her.
"You annoying bear, is this how you treat me after you managed to get me? I should just let you marry a penguin!". Jennifer said as she ruffled her bed so annoyed.
Meanwhile Charles and Mike seemed busy taking care of a problem that really threatened the good name of their company.
But Charles is not his name if he is not able to solve the problem.
"Good thing the boss is back soon!" Mike said as he lay his tired body on the sofa in Charles' room.
Charles frowned and then said, "Next time don't be rash, just fire the employees who dare to divulge company secrets!".
"I've investigated, he said that he was only ordered and the person who ordered him ordered, that you must be careful because that person will soon return to take revenge!". Mike said with a little tension.
Charles' expression became complicated after hearing Mike's explanation, but he didn't respond to Mike's words, instead he walked to the window and looked down at the building watching the passing vehicles.
"Is he really going to come back and wreak havoc again? Fine, I'll welcome him!". Charles thought.
After thinking, Charles immediately made a call for Michael.
"When are you going to London? and how is Larry?". Charles asked after the call was connected.
"Larry is fine! And tomorrow we are all leaving on a private W group plane, how are your party preparations?"
"Everything is ready, but it looks like an uninvited guest is coming!"
"What do you mean?". Michael was getting curious.
"He's back and watching our every move, so don't let your guard down!"
"Okay, I understand!". Said Michael.
After that they ended their conversation.
In the dimly lit study Michael sat silently at his computer, his gaze sharp and his thoughts occupied with the safety of his wife and child.
"He's back again and he knows everything. That means Sophia is in danger again!". Michael thought.
With an uncertain feeling, Michael came out of his study and found Sophia who had just come out of the bathroom.
With a charming smile Michael hugged Sophia from behind. Instantly, Sophia was surprised to see Michael who suddenly hugged her.
"Honey… Why are you hugging me?".
"Just let me hug you for 5 minutes!". Michael said while stroking the belly of the gloriously enlarged Sophia.
"Honey, you're starting to get fat huh?". Michael whispered with a smile.
"Do I look ugly?" Asked Sophia curtly.
Michael smiled as he tightened his embrace. After that he repeatedly kissed Sophia's cheeks, which were blushing red.
Sophia could see Michael's slightly odd expression in the mirror.
"My best and prettiest wife". Michael whispered.
Sophia turned to look at Michael's face while saying, "I look beautiful because I have the best husband like you".
Michael couldn't help but smile, he immediately said, "Thank you my queen! Then would you like to have dinner with me?".
Sophia was amused to hear Michael call her my queen. But she still nodded obediently.
"Am I going to get a surprise?". Ask Sophia.
Michael kissed Sophia's lips after that he said, "That kiss was my surprise for you. Hehehe…".
Instantly, Sophia's cheeks blushed red when she saw her husband's gentle gaze, especially after she got an intimate kiss from Michael.
"You are so beautiful". Michael said while stroking Sophia's stomach.
"You're starting to tease me! Now that I'm ready, we better get going because I can't wait!". Sophia said while grabbing Michael's arm with a smile that never left his face.
Tonight, Sophia is really happy.
A moment later, Michael opened the car door for Sophia like a queen.
Again, Sophia was made to blush by Michael's treatment.
After they got into the car, Michael quickly took his car to the place he had provided.
Not long after that they arrived at a place that was quite foreign to Sophia.
Michael opened the car door saying, "Wait dear! Before that you have to close your eyes first!".
"What for?". Asked Sophia with a confused expression.
"Don't ask too many questions! Just close your eyes!". After that Michael put on a black eye patch to cover Sophia's eyes.
Sophia immediately complied with a smile.
After thirty minutes of thrilling and curious journey, Sophia was led by Michael to the place he had promised.
"Honey.. Have we arrived yet?". Asked Sophia impatiently.
Michael took off his beloved wife's blindfold at the same time, fireworks of various colors bloomed in the sky.
Immediately Sophia was amazed to see the fireworks that read, I Love you my wife.
Sophia's smile cracked until her pupils were immortal from the flash of light that lit up the night sky.
"Thank you for being the best wife and mother to me and our future children!" Michael said while holding both of Sophia's hands under the flickering sparks of the fireworks.
Sophia returned Michael's gentle gaze while tiptoeing to kiss his lips, "This is amazing, thank you also for being the best husband and father for us!".
After that, Sophia's gaze traced every ins and outs of the place.
Instantly, Sophia could see a flower garden stretching around them.. Fireworks illuminate the flowers.
