Chapter 308 - Instinct That Never Misses

Hearing William's words made Fernando smile faintly. He then got up from the sofa and walked over to Viona, who was hugging Louisa in front of Frank.

"You better sit down first. Don't make my poor wife standing like this. She's pregnant right now," said Fernando quietly as he grabbed Viona into his arms. 

"Alright sir ..." 

"Louisa, why do you still call me sir? Soon you'll be Frank's wife, which means you will become my sister-in-law, it is very inappropriate for a sister-in-law to call her brother-in-law as sir," Fernando said, cutting off Louisa's words.

"Sorry, brother-in-law," said Louisa with a flushed face. As she called him brother-in-law, she felt that she was part of the Willan family right now. 

Fernando smiled seeing Louisa was very happy. He then invited Viona to sit where he was, glancing sharply at Frank, who was still standing beside Louisa. Frank finally sat down on the sofa with Louisa beside Viona, Frank, who just noticed the presence of William and Erick, raised an eyebrow. He looked at Erick, who was known as one of the best Ob-Gyn doctors in Ontario, with a suspicious gaze. 

"We are here to check the condition of Viona and her baby, Frank," said William suddenly. 

He immediately acted quickly, afraid that Frank would be suspicious. 

"Checking the baby? Why didn't Viona go to the hospital herself? Why do you have to come to this place, isn't it in vain if you check the condition of Viona's baby without using good and correct tools according to the procedures that should be done in the hospital?!" asked Frank suspiciously. He felt that something was being hidden by William and his brother. 

"Why does my wife have to go all the way to the hospital when in my house there are ultrasounds and other instruments?" Fernando replied arrogantly, smiling meaningfully at Frank as if he was mocking his suspicious brother. 

"Ultrasound, at home, what do you really mean, Fernando?" asked Frank in confusion. 

"Hahaha ... don't you forget who I am, Frank. I've bought an ultrasound device to bring home so my wife can do a home check without having to go to the hospital. I'm afraid that if she goes to the hospital, there will be bad things that happen to her while on the trip or in the hospital itself," Fernando replied, glaring at Frank with a broad smile. 

Hearing Fernando's words made Frank open his mouth a little. He did not believe that his brother would go that far. Seeing the shocked expression on Frank's face made Fernando looked very satisfied. He glanced at William who was also smiling like himself. Frank was even more convinced that there was actually something that his brother was hiding. However, because currently there was Erick among them, he held all his curiosity because he didn't want to make Erick thought that anything was wrong with them. 

"I'm sure you guys will bring happy news to come here," Viona said, opening a conversation, trying to end the cold war between Frank and Fernando. 

"Ah right, Viona, I almost forgot. We just came back from the registry office to register our marriage and tomorrow morning we plan to get married on Frank's cruise ship, and I specially asked you to come to my special wedding ceremony as my maid of honor. Would you be willing, Viona?" asked Louisa full of hope.

"You both have gone to the civil registry office today, well, congrats, Louisa, it means that you and Frank have officially become husband and wife right now," said Viona, clutching the Louisa's hands. 

"Thank you, Viona. I'm also happy that our marriage finally went well. I thought it would be complicated, but it turned out that the process was done quickly," said Louisa with a smile.

"But you haven't answered my question, Viona," said Louisa quickly.

"What questions?" asked Viona, confused.

"Are you coming to our wedding tomorrow and be my female companion?" replied Louisa hopefully, looking at Viona with teary eyes. 

Viona's heart was beating very fast when she heard Louisa's words. She felt that there was a chance to escape from Fernando's grip.

"Of course we will come, Louisa," said Fernando suddenly as he wrapped his arm around Viona's waist tightly, as if he was telling Viona not to mess with him, because he would always be there by her side throughout the event.

"Wow, thank you brother-in-law, I'm very happy," shrieked Louisa happily. 

Fernando thought he had responded to Louisa's words. He then put his chin on Viona's shoulder without feeling the slightest guilt after what he did during these past two days to Viona. Fernando seemed to show Frank that he and Viona were fine and there was no problem whatsoever. 

Meanwhile, Viona could only surrender and followed the acting that her husband was playing. Viona didn't want Louisa to know that in fact Frank had liked her. She didn't want to spoil the mood of the happy bride-to-be. 

As it was getting late, Erick finally asked permission to return to his work, while William had to drive Erick home because his car was in Erick's house. After escorting his two personal doctors leave, Fernando went back into the living room to join Viona with his younger brother and wife. 

When Fernando returned to the living room, Viona's attitude immediately changed. Her cheerful laughter immediately disappeared, unlike when she was only with Louisa and Frank. Viona's drastic change in attitude made Frank even more convinced that something was actually wrong. between Viona and Fernando, but he tried to hold back his curiosity while looking further and waiting for the right opportunity to ask either Viona or Fernando. 

"Excuse me sir, lunch is ready," said Teddy, quietly informing Fernando that lunch had been prepared by the maids. 

"Thank you, Teddy," said Fernando quickly as he got up from the sofa and stretched his hand to Viona, who was sitting not far from him. 

"Thank you," Viona said softly. 

"With my pleasure, let's invite Frank and Louisa to have lunch together. Let's just say this is our first family lunch before you officially get married tomorrow," said Fernando, inviting his younger brother and his fiance to join him for lunch together. 

Frank nodded his head slowly. He then got up from his seat and invited Louisa to follow Fernando and Viona's steps towards the dining table. They then had lunch together, enjoying the dishes that had been prepared in advance by two of Fernando's best chefs. 

In front of Frank and Louisa, Fernando looked very attentive to Viona. Over and over again, he brought some food for Viona. He even gently wiped Viona's lips which were covered with barbeque sauce using a napkin. 

"You two are very affectionate, I feel jealous," said Louisa quietly as she wiped her mouth with one hand in response to the actions taken by Fernando to Viona. 

"Hahaha, you could, Lou, this is something husband and wife do. Tomorrow when you guys are married, Frank will often do what I'm doing, right, Frank?" said Fernando, smiling thinly at Frank who still busy eating alone. 

"I don't know. I just feel that what you're doing is too much. Usually when a man has done something too much like that to a woman, it means he's hiding something," replied Frank, quipping Fernando. 

"Frank, you ..."

"Ouch my stomach hurts," said Viona suddenly, cutting Fernando's words that were about to explode.

"What's wrong with you, Babe? What's wrong with your stomach?" asked Fernando in panic.

"I don't know, suddenly my stomach feels tight," Viona lied, even though she had often actually felt the tightness in the last few days. 

"Alright then, you better rest in your room, okay?" said Fernando quietly. 

"Hmm," Viona said softly. 

Fernando then carried Viona in bridal style to his room on the second floor, even though he was in a cold war with Viona, but when he heard that Viona felt sick, he was really worried. 

"Do we need to check on Viona's condition?" asked Louisa worriedly. 

"No, Viona just needs to rest. We better go home, don't bother them anymore. Besides, our goal has been conveyed to both of them," replied Frank flatly, while glaring at Fernando who was taking Viona away to the second floor. 

Now he was more and more convinced that something bad had happened between Viona and Fernando.

"Okay, then, let's go. go home," said Louisa quietly, as she tidied up her bag. 

Frank nodded slowly without speaking. He then walked out of the dining room to the front yard where his car was, with Louisa clinging on to him.

"Sooner or later I will know what you're hiding from me, Fernando," said Frank to himself

Arriving on the second floor, Viona asked Fernando to put her down and let go of his arms many times, but Fernando ignored Viona's words. He continued to walk towards the room which was only a few steps away.

"Let me go, Fernando... I can…"

"Shut up!" Fernando said, cutting off Viona's words quickly.
