Goodnight Kiss
"Uh..." Nia didn't want to ask Zayn whether he would notice this problem. She calmly took the ball of hair from Zayn's hand and put it back in her bag. "Well, I want to change it. Take it to my friend and have a look."
"Which friend of yours?" Zayn thought of the nurse who often walked with her when she worked in the hospital. "The nurse named Sierra?"
"Oh, yes..." Nia could only answer in this way. After all, she had very few friends.
"Hey, I'm really jealous." Zayn sighed. "You said you were going to marry my man. How can you treat Maxwell better than me?"
"Isn't that good? Do you want to marry a woman who is not good for your son?" Nia asked her. Seeing him shake his head, Nia smiled again. "That's it. Besides, after I marry you, I'll be Maxwell's stepmother. If I don't care about him well and love him, I'm afraid of being criticized. I'm also afraid that he'll be sensitive. When you're a child, you'd better not let him feel that his family is short."
Zayn nodded. "You're right. It's my honor to marry such a virtuous and reasonable wife."
He held her hand as if he was holding a luminous pearl. He felt very sorry for her.
"We're not married yet."
Nia withdrew her hand.
"It's not a matter of time. You are pregnant with my child. Do you think you can marry someone else?" Zayn raised his eyebrows and asked her intentionally.
"... I, I didn't say that."
Nia turned around. She was always shy to ask such a question before marriage.
Seeing that he was still wearing a shirt and trousers and did not change his clothes, she took the opportunity to get out of his arms. "Haven't you taken a shower yet?"
Zayn let out a long sigh. He took the water from her and took a sip, looking a little tired. "I just talked to my father about our wedding in the study. The other details have been arranged. You're the only one left."
He looked up at her.
"Me?"
In case he got excited, Nia sat away from him and looked at him with blinking eyes.
"Your parents are not here. When you enter the wedding hall, who will take you with them?" Zayn looked at her.
Nia was stunned.
She hadn't thought of this question yet.
"Do you have any other relatives and elders who are good to you?" Zayn asked her.
Nia withdrew her fingers and slowly lowered her head to look at her knees.
"Don't be nervous. I'm just asking." Zayn immediately comforted her. In fact, he knew that she was only related to her grandmother.
Nia thought about it and shook her head slowly...
If she really wanted to find one, she could only go to her parents' hometown to find a distant house. But since her parents left, she had no contact with the people in her hometown. At that time, those people in her hometown were afraid that they would have to bear the responsibility of raising her, so they had no relationship with each other. Except for her elderly grandmother, she had almost come here alone for so many years.
Now that she was about to get married, she would go to her hometown to look for those people. She was unwilling.
Zayn walked over and sat down next to her. He took her into his arms, gently touched her forehead with his chin, and softly comforted her. "It doesn't matter. You will have many relatives in the future. All the relatives of the Ali Enterprises are your relatives."
Nia pursed her lips and replied, "Yes." In the end, she asked him again, "Then, if I don't have any male elders and no one takes me into the auditorium, will it be a joke?"
Zayn thought for a moment and pinched his chin. "Well, I'm not sure about this question at the moment. So far, the wedding bride I've attended will be accompanied by my father or male elders..."
He had never seen the bride walk into the auditorium alone.
But, don't worry. I won't let you enter the auditorium alone." Zayn's eyes were shining. It was obvious that he had come up with an idea. In short, he wouldn't let Nia walk into the auditorium alone under the gaze of all the guests.
He would never allow anyone to have a place where his wife was sick!
"What do you mean?" Nia looked at him.
"If it doesn't work, find a friend from the outside and act as your relative," Zayn said with a smile. "Anyway, I'm just going to accompany you to the auditorium. Outsiders will naturally think that it's your family's elder."
Nia widened her eyes. "Is this okay? What if... a guest meets that person outside again?"
"This is a backup plan. In fact, I don't want to use this method. If possible, I would rather let an elder of the Ali Enterprises show up." Zayn said, "But if the people of the Ali Enterprises show up and take you into the auditorium, you won't have that kind of feeling?"
"How do you feel?"
"Well..." Zayn thought for a moment. "It feels like father-in-law giving his daughter to his son-in-law."
Nia was ashamed. She didn't know that Zayn valued this kind of situation.
"So, it's best if this person is with the woman. He will tell me on behalf of you in the auditorium that he will treat you well in the future." Zayn looked at her with a smile. Thinking of the happy expression of the other grooms who took the bride's hand from his father-in-law at the wedding, he actually wanted to experience it.
"Then what do you want me to do?" Nia asked him, "I don't have any male elders to help me."
"Why don't you invite your friend's father?" Zayn looked at her and asked for her opinion. "Find a good friend of yours and take the time to invite your friend and your friend's father to have a meal. Tell me the question. I think that as a friend, he will help you."
Nia thought for a moment. "A friend?"
Her best friend was Sierra. She had met Sierra's father once or twice. When she was working in the hospital, Sierra had taken her to her home for dinner, so she had met Sierra's parents once or twice. Nia nodded and said, "Well, I'll call her tomorrow."
"Let me know if he doesn't agree."
"No need." Nia immediately said "Their families are very good. I think as long as I open my mouth, they will help."
"Really? That's good." Zayn nodded. He held his chin with his fingers and thumb and raised his lips. No one knew what he was planning. He suddenly opened his arms and said, "Come on!"
Nia hugged her arms tightly and asked warily, "What are you doing?"
"Why don't you give me a good night kiss?"
Only then did Nia get close to him and intend to kiss him on his face. Unexpectedly, as soon as she leaned over, Zayn held her in his arms and put her on him. Then, he leaned over and kissed her.
It was different from his hard-to- breathe kiss. His hand that was touching Nia's belly was very gentle, as if he was caressing a feather. This kind of feeling made Nia feel very at ease...
The baby in her belly seemed to feel the love of her parents. She kicked Zayn's hand across her belly. Zayn was stunned, so he continued to touch her belly with a smile and interact with the unborn child.
The night was peaceful, and her heart was warm. She seemed to be floating, and her smile was peaceful.
