By the time Aaron returned home, it was already late afternoon.
“Aaron, you’re back.” Reaching out to help the man take his coat, Delilah’s eyebrows were so gentle that water could drop out of them, “Forget about anything else for now, come and eat.”
Looking at the well-behaved and docile lover beside him, Aaron felt that all his fatigue from the day had been removed. When his gaze moved to her bulging belly, the man’s expression became softer, and he reached out his hand to probe her stomach.
A hint of panic flashed in her eyes, Delilah obediently staggered halfway, casually picking up the plate placed on the bar as a cover, “You’re starving, try it, I made it especially for you.”
The man didn’t think much of it after a busy day, just that she wanted to fill herself with something in her stomach early.
At the thought of Delilah cooking for himself while pregnant and not at all petulant, he felt pity while also feeling a great sense of relief.
Loosening his tie he casually sat with his legs apart on the dining chair, finally able to relax his body at this point.
Raising his chopsticks, he took a chopstick of braised fish and stuffed it into his mouth, a sizzling aroma spread between his lips and teeth, his tongue taste buds bursting with happy feelings, the man half-squinted his eyes and nodded. The man half squinted his eyes and nodded.
Constantly chucking dishes into the man’s bowl, the woman’s face had a hazy and stunning look in the somewhat dim light. Gathering her eyebrows and crossing her fingers to drag her jaw, Delilah spoke up in a gesture, “Aaron, you are acquiring new land again, right.”
Aaron, who was filling his mouth with something, gave a vague humph and pricked up his ears to listen to her continue on.
“Could you – give Vincent another chance yet.” The woman’s tone softened a few notches and took on some sappy tones.
Delilah what is wrong with this, actually put forward this kind of request again … man brow began to frown, last time because of Arthur mistakes caused by the deficit now has not been fully compensated back, he is really not at ease to give him important things again.
Slowly put down his chopsticks, the man hung his head to deliberate his words, half a moment before slowly opening his lips, trying to use the method of trying not to hurt the woman: ” Arthur he … really is not very suitable.”
Hearing these words, Delilah suddenly came to anger, flung the chopsticks in her hand towards the table, and stood up with a scuffle.
“I’ll lose my appetite.” After saying this expressionlessly, the woman ignored the man’s outstretched hand and turned to go back to their bedroom, turning the lock on the door with a “bar”.
Rushing to follow him to the outside of the bedroom, Aaron was isolated outside by a locked door. Sighing slowly from his throat, the man flexed his fingers and knocked on the door three times, “Delilah, let me in first, okay.”
“Don’t you come in here.” Clearly angry, the woman’s words still penetrated through the door. The tone was firm and angry, and it didn’t sound half-hearted.
The man who usually reigned in the mall had never found a woman this difficult. Forcing himself to lower his head to soften his tone a few times, Aaron patiently advised, “No matter what, don’t be angry, okay. You still have our child in your stomach.”
“Then, then you promise to let your brother accept the acquisition of the new land.” Pressing her back against the bedroom door, Delilah didn’t forget to talk about her leverage and demands, the crying between her words hiding a little tension.
While waiting for the man’s deliberate reply, Delilah looked down at her bulging stomach and couldn’t help but feel a pang of anger. How long would she have to pretend like this, one minute Aaron was closer to her, one minute she stayed longer, there was a chance that she would find out about her stuffing clothes on her stomach and pretending to be pregnant.
She must be able to keep her distance from Aaron.
Resigned as helplessly as he spoke, Aaron’s heart was still a little annoyed: “Okay, I promise I promise. Delilah you quickly open the door, don’t make a little temper.”
Hearing that the man had finally agreed to his request, a look of determination surfaced on Delilah’s face behind the door. Showing a silent open smile, the woman’s heart crackled with small calculations – like this step by step, Pittman Group, sooner or later can fall into the hands of their siblings.
Taking two seconds to calm down, Delilah twisted the lock on the door and opened the bedroom door a crack. She exposed her head in the doorway and looked at the man imploringly, “But, but I do want to sleep separately.”
Seeing the slight look of disbelief, she slowly lowered her head with a dry red face, “It’s not for the health of the child.”
It always felt like there was something wrong somewhere, Aaron opened his mouth several times, but when he saw the woman hanging her head in front of him, he still couldn’t say anything.
With a dry “hmm”, he held the door frame and watched the woman close the door, leaving himself to soak in the indifferent darkness.
