Chapter 293 - Shopping With Temporary Parents

Kal was in a stroller with a net covering in front of him. He will be protected from any viruses. He looked down at his wife who looked happy while pushing the stroller. Even Kal was busy wandering around. 

"Oh, there are Christmas trees." She said, "We only need a medium size. We can't take care of a bigger one." 

"Yeah, sure." He said as he protectively held her waist as they walked. She stopped and he held the stroller as she looked through the Christmas Trees and the balls. She looked at him. "Take whatever you need for love." He said as he looked around and then peek at Kale at the stroller who squealed and giggled. "Hey, you will attract attention, keep quiet." He told him. 

Maxine giggled and glanced at Kale inside the stroller. She spoke to the salesman as she pointed to the medium-size tree, lots of Christmas balls, and garlands. She bought a lot that costs a few carts. Then, she went to the payment and used his cash. Since she already had the platinum advantage card, she was over the moon to get all of the points. The mall even gave them a few freebies. She also bought new clothes for Kal who grew up so easily. 

Currently, Terrence was holding Kal who has that bonnet. He made sure that no one was taking care of their photo or the baby's photo. He took the blanket to cover Kal who snuggled to him and pointed his sunglasses. 

"You can't have it yet until you are one." He mumbled to him. 

He watched as they scanned through Maxine's crazy shopping. It wasn't every day at all. He doesn't mind if she wiped out all of her allowances or maxed up his credit card. But since they don't use credit cards since it could be easily tracked, he had a lot of cash back in their house, which is why he's afraid to leave the two alone. Maybe he can bring them with him to a safe place nearby. 

After that, they bought ice cream first, milk tea, and pizza as they walked to the parking lot. He gave the stroller to Maxine as they loaded the things that they bought on his SUV. It has a lot of compartments. Then, he set up Kal's seat as Maxine sat beside him while the food was in front. 

"Look how excited he was." Maxine laughed as Kal was staring intently at the food. 

"He will grow big. Maybe bigger." Terrence laughed as he made sure that the camera was focused on Kal so later on he could send it to Violet. 

"Baby, that's not for you," Maxine said as he started the car. 

Kal looked up at Maxine with that adorable pout and her eyes started swelling into tears. He started crying so loud that Maxine's heart melted.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Maxine said as she took his baby bottle and gave it to him. He started sucking on the baby bottle while tearing. 

"My God, how can he be this dramatic. That cry is real." Terrence laughed as he drove. 

"I know," Maxine said. "He became more energetic and ate a lot. Don't grow up too soon, Kal." Maxine pouted at Kal.

Keira was humming while decorating her Christmas gifts with the ribbons she made. She grinned and continued it. 

"Then, what's your gift to Johanna?" Alessandro asked while he's also checking the boxes that he's going to give to every one of his friends and their wives. Then, to their family members. 

"Alright," She checked her lists and nodded her head. "I am done." 

Alessandro checked her lists and frowned. 

"My name is not there." 

"Darling, you don't need a gift." She smirked at her. "You always fuck me in bed. That's enough of a gift and I don't want to spend a dime on you." 

"Oh, fuck." He sighed and he scooped his wife from the floor and tossed her to bed. "Oh well, I have to spend every day claiming my gift." 

She giggled and grabbed the pillow as she hit him. 

"What? I thought you wanted me to make love to you every day because that's my gift." 

"I'm kidding." She giggled and grabbed him to her chest. 

"I love you." He whispered and kissed her arm. 

"Not now." She pushed him. "I still have a lot of things to do. I don't have a gift yet for Kal, Jo's baby, and Harvey's baby." 

"The two haven't been born yet." He creased his brows. 

"It doesn't matter." She reached his face and kissed his lips. "What kind of gift do you want, love? You have everything in this world, that's why it's hard for me to buy you a gift." 

"Sex." He grinned. "You are my everything." He kissed her forehead. 

"That's sweet of you." She giggled and they kissed passionately. "I love you, a lot!" She hugged his nape. "I think let's just go straight to love-making." 

He laughed and kissed her forehead. 

"Yes, boss." 

The love-making ended in thirty seconds and Keira continued with organizing the boxes ready to dispatch them on their big Christmas tree and to each house. Her husband also did the same and then, she went to their wardrobe so she could set up his clothes for a week. She somehow wanted to dress him up and since she knew well about his fashion, it's easy for her to organize it. 

"Love," She called and he came up short. "I bought you a new tie," She lifted the gray tie with silver stripes. "It's pretty right?" 

"Yeah," He nodded his head. "Let's tie you up with that." 

She giggled and was about to smack him. 

"Hey, that's sexy." She winked at him as she slowly bit her lower lip. "Can we do that tomorrow? My vagina was kind of worn out." 

"Yeah, sure." He closed the space between them and hugged her tightly from behind. He scooped her breasts and massaged them. "Very nice, boobs." 

"You have one too." She nudged him, turned to him, and scooped his breasts. "I think yours was bigger than mine." She laughed. 

"Babe, those are pectorals and chests. Okay?" He kissed her forehead and squeezed her in his arms. "I'm starving, we should get something to eat." 

"I should cook sometimes." She finally said. "Mom isn't here and your dad has limits on his cooking skills." 

"Babe, we have a cook." He told her.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot. But sorry, her cooking skills should have excelled more." 

"Okay, I'll call a chef to teach her." 

"Thank you, love." She kissed his lips and poke his left nipple. 

"Okay," he patted her head. "Let's go downstairs and eat." 

She put away the tie and grabbed his shirt. 

"Put it on. You need to cover up your body sometimes so women stop gawking at you." 

"Aren't you the only woman in this house?" He asked as he put it on. 

"I don't know. Maybe dad would bring someone younger than me and gawk at you." 

"Oh," Alessandro was quite puzzled. "But dad also has muscles." 

"Dad's muscles started to wrinkle." She smacked his chest. 

"Yeah!" He snapped and then the couple went downstairs. To their surprise, Alex came indeed with a woman. Alessandro and Keira frowned. The woman was at least five years younger than their father and she looked dazzling. 

"Hey, those are my children," Alex said. "My son, Alessandro, and his beautiful wife, Keira." 

"I heard." The woman smiled. 

"Guys, this is Rhian Gomez." He said. 

"Okay," Alessandro and Keira looked at each other. "So you guys are fucking or what?" 

Rhian laughed as Alex did. Then, Keira nudged him. 

"I don't mind at all." Sandro shrugged. 

"Yeah," Alex chuckled. "Let's have dinner." 

Keira nudged her husband again as they went to the kitchen. Alex was smiling and he looked happy with the woman but somehow Keira didn't know how to react to that. She thought that he would bring someone younger than them. They sat down and Keira pushed away from her husband's hand from her butt. She glared at him. 

"Oh, thank you," Rhian said charmingly after Alex pulled a chair for her. "You are a gentleman as always." 

"They start flirting," Alessandro whispered at his wife who only nodded her head.

She complimented the food but then Keira didn't prepare it or none in the house prepared it. Most of the food was ordered from a restaurant. But then, none of them speak about it. 

"I missed Mom Mina's cooking," Sandro whispered at her as Alex eyed him and so was the woman. 

"Right." She stared at him. 

"Alright," Alex sighed. "Don't worry, we won't stay here in the mansion. The mansion is yours and I will probably stay with her." 

"What?" Alessandro frowned. "I am not kicking you out. Besides, this is your house." 

"What were you murmuring with Keira?" Alex frowned. 

"I was just saying that I missed Mom's cooking since it's been a while since she visited here." He shrugged at him. "I don't mind if you date twenty ladies or maybe younger than us. But in your own space…" 

"Here we go." Alex shook his head as Keira started giggling. 

"No offense Miss Rhian, but were you married?" 

"Yes, I was," Rhian said. "I am divorced." She smiled. 

"Oh, okay." Alessandro shrugged. 

"How long have you been free?" Keira asked as Alessandro frowned. Rhian was about to speak but Alessandro was the one who asked. 

"Free? You use the word free, huh?" 

"Yeah," she raised her brows. "She won't be divorced if it wasn't a toxic relationship or worse." 

Alex and Rhian were puzzled as the couple started chatting.. They were out of place.
