Chapter 400 - Mumu!?
As he questioned that, he was looking at his wife’s face who grinned widely and said, "Surprise!"
Xu Xiamu closed his eyes before he straightened up and said to his sister, "Sis, guess what? You’re actually better than the father here because it appears like I am the last person to learn that I’m gonna be a father."
"WHAT?!" Xu Mey’s voice was so loud that even Azalea heard it from her seat. "Pfft!" she laughed at her brother before saying, "OH-MY-GOSH! Dear brother, my heart is aching for you now."
"Oh yeah? But laughter says otherwise," replied Xiamu in an annoyed tone.
"Hahaha..." Xu Mey laughed without holding back at all. "I’m sorry but it sounds so funny."
"I can’t believe you, sis," said Xiamu. "As long as you thought that you’re the last person to learn about this, you’re breathing fire but now that you know that I’m even more clueless than you, you sound so damn happy."
"It’s not my fault that it sounds so entertaining," replied Xu Mey still a smile gracing her beautiful face. "Anyways, I won’t take much of your time since I think you have some serious talking to do with your wife now. Good luck!" With that, Xu Mey hung up the call.
Xiamu ran his fingers through his hair before he gave Azalea one last look and closed the door of her side before going around to settle in the driving seat. He was silent. Really silent. He didn’t even question Azalea anything and it really got on the pregnant woman’s nerves now.
"Kade, are you upset?" she voiced out cautiously. "I’m sorry for hiding it but I only wanted to give you a surprise." She really just thought about surprising him. Why else would she come back running to him as soon as she got the news?
"Kade! My hubby dearest! Kadie! Kadie baby! Mumu! My lovely Mumu!"
"I’ll be really mad if you didn’t stop with those stupid nicknames already," his voice made her seal her lips instantly. She knew he hated those nicknames she always comes up with but she loved teasing him. He saw her pouting from his peripheral vision and sighed out. "I’m not upset with you."
"Then why aren’t you saying anything?" asked Azalea blinking her eyes at him.
As the car halted at the red light, he turned to face her and said, "How do you expect me to react?"
"Huh?"
"I wasn’t prepared for this. I came to receive my wife but now, suddenly I’m gonna be a father. How really do you think I can process such big news in such a short time?"
Indeed, why would he be upset about anything? He was just a little surprised. No, he was shocked. Okay, he was both; Shocked and surprised. What he felt couldn’t be said in words. Because even he didn’t know what he was feeling right now.
"Although I’m a little bit annoyed that I’m the last person to know about your pregnancy when I should be the first one to know about this, I still am not mad at you."
Azalea pursed her lips. She couldn’t argue with that. He indeed should have been the first one to know. Even she didn’t know how this news was spreading like wildfire. But she was gonna blame it all on her super connected family. Nothing could stay a secret in this family!
"Actually, I also wanted that. But you see I was talking to mom when I told her that I’m not feeling well. I had nausea, headaches, and felt really tired. Mom was the one who suggested that I should get tested and well, it turned out I was pregnant." He listened silently to her while she continued, "Well, I didn’t tell mom. It was just that it was mom’s ex-colleague who checked my reports, she congratulated mom. I think mom told aunt and then the whole family just got to know."
"Great! This family really knows how to spread happiness."
"Yes, they do," agreed Azalea with a smile.
"That was sarcasm, sweetheart." Azalea stopped smiling to look at him. He fondled her hair saying, "I can’t believe you’re still as gullible as ever."
"But isn’t that why you love me?"
Seeing that the light was now green, he turned to drive with his attention solely on the road saying, "Yes, that’s exactly why I love you so much."
Soon, Xiamu parked the car before their house but didn’t alight from the car. He stayed in that comfortable silence with his wife.
After another moment of silence, Azalea held his arm and asked, "Kade, you’re happy, right?" Xiamu didn’t answer, he held her wrist and pulled her. "Ahh!" Azalea yelped as he hauled her body in his lap making her gape at him in surprise. "What are you-oomfff!"
Her words died down in her throat as he bent his head down to capture her lips with his. Was he happy? Was that even a question? Of course, he was! He had seen how proud his brother-in-law looked whenever he talked about his little kids. To be honest, Xiamu often felt jealous of that. But now, he didn’t have to.
Now, his wife was gonna give him the most perfect gift of his life.
Leaning his forehead against hers, he whispered, "Thank you!"
"Eh? For what?" Azalea who was still trying to catch her breath from this sudden kiss which came as a surprise to her since it was so out of his character, asked in confusion.
He brushed the tip of his nose with hers saying, "For everything. For coming to my life. For making me fall in love all over again. For waiting and not giving up on me. And most of all, for loving me. And now, for bringing me the world’s most beautiful blessing."
See! See! This was so out of his character that Azalea was blushing like a bloody tomato now. Argh! She could really die from happiness at this moment! But no! She still had to live a lifetime with her love. There was no way this clingy one was leaving her cold prince.
