Chapter 75

Actually, after learning that Velove was pregnant, Darwin wanted his wife to rest completely at home. If possible, no need to work anymore and do more activities at home. Let him make money and meet the needs of the whole family.

However, from last night until breakfast this morning, they seemed to be seriously discussing the matter. Velove didn't even seem to agree completely. The woman asked Darwin for relief so that she could still be allowed to work. And Darwin finally made a decision that Velove must and must make.

"Okay, you can keep working. It's just that, during this pregnancy, I ask you to rest at home first."

Velove then looked up. Staring deeply, trying to bargain what actually her husband had decided.

"But Win, this is after giving birth, can I continue working as usual?"

Darwin looked thoughtful. Thinking further, whether or not the wife needs to return to work in the future. Of course there are many considerations that he must think about carefully considering they will have children who need full attention later.

Compared to Velove itself, which at this time immediately put on a begging face. Accustomed to being a career woman, independent, and always meeting new people or clients every day, it makes her feel like she doesn't want to be suddenly asked to stay at home for 24 hours.

"Don't worry, I won't neglect my obligations as a mother and wife. If necessary, you can limit my working hours later."

Darwin nodded. Seeing how his wife was seducing him, he couldn't help but melt and he couldn't bear it. However, he realizes that the way people enjoy life and happiness is different. Some like to be told to take a total rest and focus on taking care of the house. But, there are also those who are happy to be able to do activities and work outside the home.

"All right. Later, after giving birth and our child is old enough, you may return to work as usual. However, there are hours and time limits that you must adhere to and cannot be violated at all. And we can discuss this later. "

Velove smiled happily. Satisfied with what Darwin decided. Now, he had one more request left that he wanted to make and hoped that Darwin would grant it again.

"Then, this is before the total holiday, may I have permission to finish the rest of the work first? I have a lot of responsibilities to complete, Win."

Darwin seemed to take a sip of the milk that was in his glass first. He glanced back at Velove, then gave a small nod.

"Sure. How long will it take you to finish the rest of the work?"

"Just two to three weeks, really. But, if I can get it done sooner, I'll be on vacation right away."

"Okay," Darwin nodded in agreement. "Take your time. You can finish the remaining deadlines at the office. But...."

"But what?" asked Velove curiously.

"There's no coming home late, working overtime, let alone staying up late. As soon as it's five o'clock in the afternoon, if you're not finished, you have to go home immediately."

Velove for a second also nodded in agreement. Instead of Darwin changing his mind and not being allowed at all, he better just do it. After all, having been allowed and given the opportunity to finish the job, he should be grateful.

"Deal. I'll follow your request. Then, today I can work, right? Also, I want to meet Papa because today I'm coming home from Malaysia," Velove pleaded.

"Yes, honey. After breakfast, I'll take you straight to the office."

Velove exclaimed happily. Rising from her seat, the woman approached Darwin then kissed her husband briefly on the cheek before leaving to go to the room. While Darwin was finishing breakfast, Velove himself chose to change clothes then get ready to go to work.

Exactly at eight in the morning both of them got into the car. Like what he said before, Darwin first took Velove to the Wijaya Group building.

Previously, when the two of them were separated, Velove chose to spend time and help his father at the Wijaya Group rather than returning to Caribbean, which is his own company. And now, because there are still several dependents, like it or not, Velove has to complete the deadline before finally taking a day off because they have to focus on their pregnancy.

Arriving at the Wijaya Group, Darwin did not leave immediately, he swiftly escorted and accompanied Velove to his office. And when passing through the lobby, at the same time Darius came. They were also asked to stop first into the man's room.

"Oh my God, Velove. How are you, son? Papa even just told Darwin last night that you had an accident with Deasy a few days ago."

Darius had hugged his daughter for a few moments. Then led Velove to immediately sit on the sofa with him. Undeniably, the man's face seemed to show deep anxiety.

"Fortunately Velove is fine, Pa. However, Deasy had serious bleeding and now her condition is gradually improving."

"Thank goodness then. Papa can't understand why you two got into an accident like this."

"It's also a disaster, Pa," said Darwin, who also sat across frUncle Darius. "The car that Deasy was driving apparently had a flat tire. And of course we cannot predict this condition at all. Here, Darwin is also wrong because he let Velove go unattended."

Darius nodded in understanding. It doesn't matter what happened, it all happened.

"That's it. Most importantly, you're all okay. I don't know what would happen if something bad happened to Velove."

"Papa don't worry," Velove said again. "Velove is fine. In fact, today Velove and Darwin bring happy news to Papa."

Not to mention that the serious look on Darius' face had disappeared after hearing Velove's story about the accident, now the man's expression changed to a questioning line. Also curious what good news she wants her daughter to convey.

"Look..." Velove squeaked while turning his body. Facing his father, then grabbed his wrist to then hold it gently. "Velove wants to tell you, that soon Papa will have a grandson."

Darius gaped with enlarged eyeballs. Of course he was surprised and pleased with the happy news that Velove had just conveyed to him.

"W-what? You're pregnant?"

Velove nodded with a wide smile.

"Yes, Pa. It turns out that Velove has been pregnant all this time and now Velove's womb has reached the age of more than eight weeks or about two months."

"Oh Lord ...."

Darius just kept gaping. He even ran out of words because he was confused to express the good news that Velove just shared.

"Papa is really happy, son. This is of course big news," said Darius. Even the man's eyes were sparkling. Seconds later, Darius glanced at Darwin. Then it didn't take long for his son-in-law to have a serious talk.

"Anyway, you have to really take care of Velove, Win. Just be careful if you dare to do anything or make Velove cry. Papa won't forgive you until that happens."

he winced. Seeing how serious the expression Darius was showing made him scared himself. However, according to him, it is natural for his parents-in-law to behave this way. In a way, Velove is the only daughter and she loves him so much.

"Darwin won't mess up, Pa. Darwin also promised to take care of Velove as hard as he can. Make sure he's healthy, protected, and has all his needs fulfilled. You don't have to worry about that."

Darius nodded in disbelief. You can see how Darwin's efforts so far in self-satisfaction have made Darius calm about giving up his only daughter.

Now, all that remains is to pray. Hope Velove's condition is always healthy. And of course the baby in her womb grows healthy until it's time to be born and see the beauty of the world.

***

Velove seemed to focus all his attention on completing one work deadline at a time. He was so focused, he didn't even realize when Nathan came knocking on the door, then entered the room where he was working.

For a while, Nathan stood still while watching how Velove worked. I don't know what was on the man's mind, for sure for a few moments he seemed to deliberately enjoy Velove's face which he might never enjoy again in the next few days.

However, next week, Nathan must immediately leave for China. Even when his job is finished, he will immediately go to Nevada to lead the company there. There is no more time to meet or just talk with his ex-girlfriend.

"Nathan," Velove said when he realized Nathan was standing right in front of his desk.

Nathan himself who had daydreamed immediately realized. Throwing a smile, then stepped forward while handing over a box of cakes for Velove to eat. For some reason, every time the man met, he was very happy to give gifts for Velove to enjoy.

"What's this again?" asked Velove confused.

"It's normal. That's red Velove for you to eat. In fact, during the farewell party yesterday, there were many kinds of cakes and your favorite food that I also ordered. But, apparently you were unable to come."

Velove let out a long sigh. So he felt uncomfortable because yesterday's farewell event he canceled meeting Nathan. It couldn't be helped, he and Deasy unexpectedly had an accident while on their way to the place where Nathan was holding an event.

"I'm really sorry because I didn't come the other day. In fact, Deasy and I have already been to the venue."

Nathan nodded. He knew very well about the calamity that befell Velove and Deasy. That's why, just understand why his ex-girlfriend didn't come to the event he was holding.

"No problem. I understand, really. I'm even worried about you and Deasy. Luckily you're okay."

"Fortunately so. But, have you visited him yourself?"

Nathan nodded again.

"Okay, really. Yesterday evening after work I visited Deasy at the hospital. Maybe the day after tomorrow or the weekend I will go there again to say goodbye before leaving for China."

"Are you sure you're going to be abroad for a very long time?" asked Velove then.

"I guess so. And I'll definitely miss you a lot."

Velove just smiled. Not the slightest thought of what Nathan said just now.

"I hope that later in your new place, you can meet a partner who is better and more than me. Here, I sincerely pray for the best for you too."

This time it was Nathan's turn to smile. There is a feeling of not wanting to actually be separated. But, no matter what, he realized that staying in Indonesia was useless. After all, Velove is no longer able to be reached let alone owned by him. The only wise way he can do is let Velove be happy with the man of his choice.

"Hopefully I can meet a woman who is more than you. But, it seems like it will be difficult, Ve. Like it or not, I have to apply high standards because before you were even close to perfect."

Velove laughed. Flattered too by what Nathan said just now. From the beginning, the man had praised her the most and it turned out that until this second it had not changed.

"You don't need to overdo it. You can actually get more than me. You're basically lazy."

"Well, what else can I do," Nathan sighed in a deep voice. "It's not easy starting a relationship from scratch."

"In that case, just get married. As soon as you find a woman who can understand you under any circumstances, immediately apply and ask for marriage. I'm sure, with your sociable personality and easy to get along with anyone, it's definitely not a difficult matter to find a partner. "

"I'll try later."

"It's mandatory, Nathan. Anyway, if one day you return to Indonesia and want to meet me, the condition is that you have to bring a partner first."

Nathan laughed at Velove's terms. However, because he wanted to see his ex-girlfriend smile, he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I will comply with your request."

Velove smiled again. Stared at Nathan's face closely, then spoke softly.

"Thank you for being a super duper understanding person so far. No matter what, it can't be denied that you do have a special place in my heart. That's why, I'm always here praying for you so that you can get the best soon in the future Later."

Nathan looked touched. Her eyes were almost glassy. What Velove conveyed really touched his heart. It was because of Velove's good attitude that he found it difficult to forget his ex-girlfriend.

In fact, if he wanted to and really had bad intentions, from the start when he found out that Velove had married because he had to, Nathan could have stolen the woman from Darwin's side. But, because he appreciates and knows how much he loves Velove, he never acts rashly. Always pay attention and give attention as needed and not too much so that Velove remains comfortable with his presence.

After having a long conversation with Nathan, Velove returned to finish his work. At five o'clock in the afternoon, Darwin actually kept his promise to pick up and bring Velove home immediately. Apparently, the husband really didn't want to see Velove come home late, let alone work overtime to finish the rest of the work.

"I thought you would forget to pick me up," Velove said when he and Darwin were already in the car, on their way home.

"How could I forget, honey. You're my priority. Besides, I don't want you to be busy alone at the office."

"So, are we going straight home?"

Darwin nodded, then looked up briefly.

"Yes. Why? Do you want to stop by first? Or do you want to go out to eat?"

"No," Velove shook his head. "In fact, I want to hurry up so I can immediately go to the kitchen."

Darwin's brows then furrowed. In his heart had crossed the question, what did his wife want to rush into the kitchen?

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know why, I really want to cook chicken soup."

"Why don't you just buy it? So it won't be complicated," Darwin offered. According to him, instead of bothering his wife, it's better to just buy food at regular restaurants. After all, it's simpler and more practical to just eat.

"Do not want!" Velove shook his head repeatedly. "In fact, I want to make and mix it myself. I want to put various vegetables in it. Anyway, I want to make it myself."

Darwin nodded in understanding. He thought, maybe what Velove wanted was something pregnant women had cravings for. Instead of spoiling his wife's mood, it's better to just obey.

"Okay, I'll ask Mba Reni to help make it so you won't get tired. Don't forget to make a lot so I can taste it too."

Velove certainly agreed. Even more impatient to get to their house soon.

As soon as the car driven by Darwin had entered the yard of the house and the two of them had just got out of the vehicle, one of the security guards approached. Delivering one piece of information that Darwin and Velove seem to need to know.

"Excuse me, sir, madam. There was a guest looking for you earlier."

"Visitor?" he asked.

"Yes, sir. He said he wanted to meet with you because he wanted to convey something important."

"Then where are the guests?" asked Velove, also curious about what he had just heard.

"Inside, ma'am. Waiting in the living room."

Darwin and Velove rushed into the house to check who was actually looking for them and was now waiting for them. Upon entering the house, it was Darwin who looked the most surprised. He certainly knew exactly who the figure was waiting in the living room at this time.

"Vicky..."
