HIS GENIUS WIFE IS A SUPERSTAR

1011 - 1020

Chapter 1011 - Nervous

"Alright, I won't scold our son anymore about a past misdeed," Jin Liwei replied while hurrying up the staircase to escort his wife.

Iris laughed at her husband's actions, her eyes twinkling with amusement. It was just climbing down the stairs from her loft office to his main home office floor, yet he still insisted on holding her waist and guiding her down.

"Liwei, you don't always have to be careful with me. I can at least climb down the stairs by myself."

"Don't mind me, love. I just can't help myself from worrying, especially when I think that you're carrying two additional humans inside you." He glanced down at her flat stomach. "You're not showing yet, but our twins aren't shy in making their presence known."

She sighed but there was a soft smile on her face. "The pregnancy symptoms I'm experiencing right now are all normal. Don't blame our babies for making me feel sick. Besides, it's the two of us who made them, so it's not their fault for coming into our lives."

He laid his palm on her stomach and gave it a gentle rub. "I'm not blaming them. Never. I'm so excited to meet our babies, Evelina."

"Me, too."

"Are you still scared?" he asked.

"A little."

"Me, too. But it's okay. I know that we'll get through this together and continue building our family."

She nodded and hugged him around the waist, inhaling his comforting scent. He also wrapped her soft body in his arms and inhaled the fragrance of her hair (Orchidia Beauty shampoo and conditioner, of course).

The husband and wife stayed in that warm embrace, enjoying each other's presence without caring about anything else in the world. At least, in this moment. The outside world might be chaotic right now with many people wanting to intrude into their private lives especially after everything that happened in the past few days alone. They may not be able to control all the actions of other people, but right here inside their home and within each other's loving embrace, the two of them felt at peace.

After some time, Jin Liwei urged them to head to their master suite because he didn't want his wife to tire herself from standing for too long. He wanted to carry her all the way to their room but she refused.

"I want to take a walk," she told him.

"Alright, love."

Along the way, he noticed that his wife started to fidget. She tried to hide it but his eyes, which were almost always focused on her, couldn't possibly miss anything about her.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Let me call the doctor—"

"No! Liwei, I'm fine. I'm just...let's return to our room first, then I'll tell you. Okay?"

He observed her for a little longer to make sure that she was really alright before nodding. Later, the finally arrived in their bedroom. He expected her to immediately tell him what was bothering her, but to his surprise, she extricated herself from him and then headed straight to the bathroom before closing the door.

It took him a few seconds to process what just happened. When he came to his senses, she already left him alone in their bedroom. He immediately knocked on the bathroom door and twisted the knob a few times but it didn't open. She locked the door.

"Love? What's going on? Are you okay?"

He pressed his ear against the door and listened. The water was running, so she must be taking a shower. But why didn't she wait for him? He wanted to shower together with her.
