CHAPTER 47

“I noticed that. I always thought that you will keep on fighting but now I can be at ease. I am glad that there will be peace in the family but we still need to talk about it and clear all unnecessary misunderstandings,” his step dad said.
“I will settle that with Andrew so don’t worry,” he told his stepdad.
“Are you sure you don’t want to be promoted? The position can be yours,” he got himself tempted once more but Sean shook his head in denial.
“I don’t want to be greedy. I have a family to take care of now and being in those unending wars, will not be healthy for me, Selena or the baby,” he explained to him.
Sean found the old man smiling and nodding his head.
“What you are saying makes sense. I gave my all to the company and spent less time with my family. They have never known what is like to be loved but I am glad that you are willing to do that. Money might be important but it is also important to be happy with the people that you love. Don’t regret it later when it is too late to remedy it,” his step dad gave him some advice and he nodded in response.
“I will bear that in mind,” he said and looked at the watch. It was already near lunch and it was time for him to leave.
“Do you have any lunch appointment?” his step dad asked and he looked at the old man with a smile.
“I am afraid I do. I have to take my leave now, I will see you another time,” Sean said as he stood up.
“It’s okay; run along before she gets sulky,” his step dad said and he looked at him with shock. How did he know that he was meeting his wife?
“I can tell by your eyes; anyone can see it. My son is madly in love with his wife. Thanks to you, our company is faring well,” his step dad said and he found himself laughing.
“I am glad to hear that. I will bring her up to say her greetings,” Sean said but his dad shook his head.
“Don’t bother, my wife is waiting for me at home too and I would rather go and have some lunch with her. You two have some fun and tell her to take it easy. She shouldn’t be going everywhere in her state,” his step dad reminded him.
“I will take note of that.”
Sean finally left the office and took the elevator down for the first floor. His wife had sent him a text telling him that she was about to arrive which meant that she will be arriving any second from now. It didn’t take long before the SUV arrived and the guards opened the door for her.
He smiled as he watched her get out of the car, for someone who was huge thanks to the pregnancy it was a miracle that she was walking on her two feet but just in case, a wheelchair was always on standby.
She couldn’t run like she used to before, he had to walk to her faster and wrap his arm around her since he couldn’t hug her like he used to before. She was like a ball but he loved it. Knowing that she was in that state because she was carrying his bloodline gave him a sense of joy and pride.
“Are you tired?” he asked her as soon as they began to walk into the office building.
“My back hurts but now that I see you, I guess I will be okay in a while,” she answered and he smiled.
She was always like this, saying out loud words that weren’t supposed to be let out. She had become more straightforward ever since her pregnancy and he loved it in a way.
Sean took his wife to his office, where he watched happily as she served the lunch she had brought. His wife had become a good cook, her food was edible unlike the first time she started earning. He no longer minded eating her food.
Ever since she took a semester off because she was nearing towards the due date, she had been lonely at home alone and so she tried a number of things and cooking was the only thing she became interested in.
He tried several dishes and put a smile on his face after tasting them. They were delicious and he could even think that she wasn’t the person who cooked the dishes.
“I cooked them. I started after I finished my bath,” she said as if she heard read his mind.
“You are becoming good at this my love, well done,” Sean complimented his wife as he took another spoonful.
“Thank you for saying that,” she said as she picked a chicken wing which was her favorite now.
“If you began in the morning, aren’t you tired?” he asked her worried now that she might have overworked just to bring him lunch to work.
“Don’t worry about that, I had help and I am feeling okay. The baby is still kicking and I feel no pain,” she told him and Sean felt relived.
He had suggested that he cut work to look after her but she had refused and told him that she didn’t want her husband to be seated at home with her. She told him that she will be okay by herself and if anything was wrong, she will call him first.
So, Sean listened to his wife to remain at work but he made sure that he spends time with her and return back home early. He knew how sulky she will be whenever she didn’t see him for long.
He finished the lunch she had brought; she didn’t eat much. He could tell that she had no appetite and he was going to fix that soon.
