Chapter 269 - Playful Infant

It was five in the after when Maxine put him on the stroller and she walked into the garden as the dogs followed them. She went directly to the greenhouse to pick up new fruits and ripe vegetables. Since her husband was busy cleaning up the house, she started to pick up ingredients for their dinner. She washed her hands after placing them on the mini baskets for the dogs to pick up and deliver to the house. 

She took Kal from the stroller and showed her around. The baby boy looked around in wonder and cooed. He then sucked her closed fist in a very adorable way. 

"Look what your daddy Terrence made just for you. When you grow up you are going to help us with everything here while your mom is working. Do you want that?" She talked to Kal who looked up at her with wide eyes. She kissed her forehead and put her back on the stroller then she brought her back to the house. 

"All done," Terrence said.. "There are no insects around and I make sure of that." 

Maxine picked up Kal from the stroller. 

"I think he's hungry," Maxine said. 

"Alright." Terrence went to the kitchen to prepare the breast milk that Violet stocks for her baby.

Maxine sat down and carefully put down Kal on the crib but the boy started crying so she picked him up and held him. He stopped crying immediately although there were no tears. There he goes again trying to be playful. She was always patient and she didn't mind if Kal became clingy. She might be clingy toward him. 

"Here goes the milk," Terrence said as he delivered it on a small tray. "Here you go, your highness." Terrence sneered at Kal who smiled at him adorably. "There, you could smile like that when it comes to your milk." 

Maxine quickly gave the milk to him as he started sucking fast like he's going to lose his milk anytime. Terrence made sure that he filmed it until Kal finished the whole bottle. He was still sucking and then he let go of the bottle and made a frowning expression. 

"There you go. I'm sorry, Kal but you need to go on a diet." 

Maxine giggled. 

"Love, get us more. Formula milk will do." 

"Okay, fine." 

Kal cooed like he's also mimicking whatever Maxine said. Terrence and Maxine treated Kal like he could already understand them although he was just a zero-year-old baby. 

Terrence came back shortly with Kal's formula milk and then, he sat beside Maxine and hugged her. Kal frowned while sucking her baby bottle and he let go of the bottle and cried. 

The two looked at each other and laughed. 

"He's jealous, move away," Maxine said. Somehow, it made Terrence frown and annoyed toward the baby. He didn't have a choice but to move away and Kal smiled and started sucking on his baby bottle. 

"Damn it," Terrence grumbled. "How can that little one possibly get jealous? That's all for an act." 

Maxine only giggled. 

"Fine, I'll prepare dinner." He bent down and kissed Kal who stopped and smiled at him. "You cunning baby." He glared at him and left. Sometimes, Terrence thinks that he's not a baby at all.

Tracey dressed up in a red dress that she reserved for this very special day. She did her make-up lightly and styled her hair in a loose bun. She also had souvenirs for everyone. She checked the time and no one came yet. So, she left the area where she's going to hold a party and went outside to check on her fiance. 

"We will play all night." He said and approached her. "You enjoy your night, my love." He reached her face and squeezed it a little and then smacked her lips. She frowned and pushed him away. 

"Don't do that. You are messing up my hair and make-up." 

"Oh, you are wearing makeup?" He frowned and scooped her cheeks to check it but then he kissed her lips. 

"We can't do it tonight." She frowned at him. "A few nights ago, I almost didn't have my blissful moment because you were too fast." 

He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her waist. He kissed her neck and inhaled her enticing scent. 

"I'm sorry, baby. It won't happen again." He reached her hand and admired the ring that Karmina designed when he was young. He never expects that someone he loves will wear it. And it is also someone that he will marry. 

"By the way," She opened her phone bag and took out the phone. "He still messaged me." She said to him, "He called me many times but I ignored it." 

"Okay."

"I don't want him to bother me anymore, babe. It keeps making me anxious." 

"There's nothing to be anxious about," He caressed the few strands in front and tucked it to her ear. "Because your handsome man is taking care of everything to get rid of him." He kissed her lips. "We can have a quickie before we start." He grinned and kissed her neck again. She giggled at him and pinched his abdomen. 

"Why are you horny suddenly?" She chuckled and hugged his waist. 

"Why can't I? You looked so beautiful and sexy." 

"Fine." She gently pushed him and held his hand as she led him to the nearby bathroom. She locked it and put her purse away. Then, she removed her sexy lace underwear and grinned at him. 

"This will do." 

The couple did it there like rabbits. Shortly, they came out but they unexpectedly met the pregnant Johanna. 

Johanna sighed and rolled her eyes. 

"Let's find another bathroom." She told her fiance. 

"We didn't mess in there," Ian told her but Johanna rolled her eyes at him as Connor signed to him that she's not in a good mood. So, Connor takes her to another bathroom nearby. 

"Wow, her temper was just like me," Tracey said. 

"No, love. Your temper was the worst. She's using a silent threat while you were a war freak." 

"I'm not." Then, she stopped after she realized what she did to Wendy Charles. She covered her mouth and he laughed at her. 

She then went back to the guest area where Keira was babbling something to Alicia. They turned to her as Keira gaped at her. She turned around to show the pretty dress that she's wearing. 

"You are dressed to kill, sister!" Keira said as she twirled around Tracey to check the details of her dress. 

"I will go with the boys," Ian said and he patted Keira's head and kissed her temple. "Enjoy the party, baby girl." 

"Will do, Uncle," Keira said excitedly. 

The girls then gathered in their area and they shooed Connor who was trying to make his fiance comfortable. After Connor left, Violet showed them about Maxine's video and her baby's video on how the five months old Kaleona mistreated his big Uncle. Terrence complained to Violet many times and they found it adorable and odd at the same time. 

"Just how did he do that?" Alicia asked. "Looked at how adorable he was while smirking." 

They agreed to Alicia's comment. 

"That little guy is so tricky." Johanna shook her head. "I somehow hope that I gave birth to a girl, not to a boy. Boys are mischievous all the time." 

"Is it possible that he can be jealous over Terrence? What more if his dad was around you?" Keira said that made Violet smile beautifully. Violet already imagined how beautiful it was when Victor was around, but unfortunately, according to their Intel, Victor was in a coma and since they stopped experimenting drugs on him, it will take long before he even recovered. 

"Wow, look at those eyes!" Alicia exclaimed. 

"He's laughing at Terrence." Tracey laughed as the girls did. 

"It's like he instantly owns, Maxine," Violet mumbled. 

"No offense but your baby was a little creepy toward Terrence but adorable at the same time. It's hard to resist such a baby." Johanna told Violet. 

"None taken. Thank you for your compliment. Also, I think it comes from genes." She tilted her head at Johanna with a smile. Johanna shook her head and rubbed her round tummy. 

"Was he possessive and clingy toward you?" Johanna asked Violet. 

"You have no idea." Violet chuckled. 

"By the way, back then, Ian was your ex and you had contact with him and how did Victor react?" Tracey asked and she covered her mouth. "Sorry for asking." 

"Don't worry. That's an open question. I wasn't in love with Ian and I wanted to rebel because I was frustrated and vulnerable. But Victor didn't mind it since we were on a break. We have every right to be with  someone else during that break until we settle to be together again." 

"He knows that Ian was your~~" 

"Yes. He was aware of it. That's why he's possessive, clingy, and lovable." Violet shrugged. "I love him in every way. It's a great love." 

"Wow," Alicia reacted. "I love Leon but I don't know if ever I feel almost the same love that you girls had to your man." 

"Believe me. You will fall in love with horny Leon." Keira laughed as Alicia flushed. They were all aware that Leon was always horny toward Alicia.
