At Chua Group Building
The next morning, although she was feeling too lazy, Kenzie insisted on going to work with her husband. Since Cris won't be able to come, she was worried that her husband would feel burdened overseeing three companies at the same time.
"Darling, how about you leave me here and go to the Sy Law firm instead? I can manage this and Brix is also here to help me," Kenzie commented, while Daryl was checking out the companies waiting for her approval to invest in them.
"It's not necessary since Harry is taking care of Cha Group that only leaves the law firm which I will check later. I'll go there after having lunch with you," Daryl answered, without looking at her.
Kenzie sighed as she continued to sign some cheques before commenting, "I wonder what will happen to Auntie."
"Didn't Brix say that she's showing some good signs?" Daryl said.
"Yeah, I hope she gets well soon. Dad is actually asking about her a lot these days. Maybe I should tell him what happened. He knows how Aunty is so he wouldn't be surprised to know that she reacted this way after Brix's marriage proposal. But what I'm really curious about is to know what's going on in Auntie's head while Cris is there taking care of her instead of Brix?"
"Hmm, she's probably annoyed? Irritated? Or maybe she's starting to appreciate Cris now. Ah baby, let's just focus on work and not worry about it. No matter what happens I'm sure Brix and Cris will handle it," Daryl replied, still busy with what he was doing. But no matter what, he could not help but entertain his wife whenever she talked.
Kenzie pressed her lips together as she looked at her husband who was occupied with his work. She should be the one doing these but she was too lazy to read so she was doing the easiest task which was signing the documents and cheques.
She exhaled loudly and continued what she was doing. After a few minutes, she started feeling sleepy again. She yawned loudly and stretched her arms.
"Baby, go sleep in the private room. Stop working already!! I am here and I will finish things up," Daryl commanded without looking at her again. Kenzie, even though she knew it was not the time to throw tantrums could not help but feel annoyed at him. She could not stop herself from commenting as she stood up to go inside the private room, "Fine, don't look at me forever…"
She then stomped her way to the private room.
Daryl looked at her back with a frown on his face.
"Is she mad? She definitely sounded mad. Did I hear it right? Did she say 'Don't look at her forever'?" Daryl thought out loud. He suddenly got worried so he put the document in his hand down and got up from the couch to follow his wife to the private room.
The doctor had informed him that Kenzie would experience mood swings during pregnancy and he heard a lot of complaints from Jorge about this during Miley's pregnancy. Miley would often nag at him and even kick him out of their room. He recalled the worst thing Miley was complaining about, which was Jorge's smell. Jorge almost came crying to him and Liam, unable to figure out how to handle Miley's mood swings.
He even remembered teasing and laughing at Jorge who did not know what cologne to use in order to make Miley happy. Liam on the other hand had a different experience with Lana who was just clinging to him throughout her pregnancy. He thought Kenzie would be the same as Lana but the doctor said that it would vary from one woman to another.
Daryl gulped and halted in front of the door of their private room.
What if his wife was having the same pregnancy symptoms now? His face paled as he pondered if it was best to let his wife be or to enter the room and ask her if there was a problem?
He was in this dilemma when the intercom buzzed. It was the secretary reminding him of the meeting that was preponed and held today because of the sudden transfer of shares.
"Alright I'll come soon," Daryl answered. He looked at the door and whispered, "She's probably sleeping by now."
Then he walked out to attend the said meeting.
Kenzie was sulking as she turned left and right on the bed.
"How come he didn't follow me? Didn't he hear me? Am I invisible to his eyes?!" she grunted with flaring nostrils. She herself did not understand her current emotions. She was feeling irritated and neglected.
"Baby, is this you causing mommy to feel this way? Why do I want to nag your father?" she mumbled with a pout as she caressed her tummy. Another yawn escaped Kenzie's mouth because she was really tired and sleepy. Soon she dozed off without her knowing.
After the meeting, Daryl came back to the office. Kenzie was not up so he thought that she must still be sleeping. Nevertheless, he walked to their private room to check on her. He smiled seeing her sleeping peacefully on the bed. He leaned down and planted a gentle kiss on her lips before he stepped out to go back to work.
After a few hours, Kenzie woke up with a gloomy aura. She went outside and saw her husband in the same spot as before but this time he was working on his laptop.
'Look at him not even noticing my presence,' she scolded silently.
She put the intercom on the loudspeaker intentionally.
"Rem, call my driver, I'm going home now!" she instructed and that was when Daryl looked up to see her.
"Baby, are you leaving already? It's almost time for lunch. Let's eat together," Daryl said with a smile.
"What's wrong?" he asked, noticing Kenzie's exasperated sighs.
"Nothing. You're treating me like air here anyway, so I'll just go to dad and eat lunch with him," Kenzie hissed.
Daryl stood up, scratching his head as he said, "I'm sorry that I got caught up with work and didn't pay attention to you baby. I promise that it won't happen again."
He walked towards Kenzie and hugged her tightly even if she was struggling to make him let go.
"Ah, you make me nervous when you act like this baby. Tell me how I can make it up to you. I'm really sorry for making you sad. This ignorant husband of yours will do anything you want so just tell me…" Daryl coaxed her while stroking her hair.
Kenzie bit her lips and mumbled, "I want to eat dried watermelon seeds, peel them for me!"
