Chapter 186 - 186 Start of Honeymoon

'It seems like a countryside.' October thought as the view passing before her were that of green lushes of grass, different types of trees that grew tall, wild flowers, and animals loitering around the greeneries. At every blow of the wind carried the fresh leafy scent.

"Hey, are you okay?" Lexus asked October while giving a light squeeze on her hand. "Car sick?"

October looked at his worried-stricken face and her heart felt warm. Smiling slightly, she answered, "No, not that. I just did not expect that I'll be here. The place is so green." 

"Yes, that's right. Isn't it nice? That's why I picked it here." Plus, it's quiet with only a few people living in the city. With that, no one can interfere with his precious time with his wife. 

Lexus' smile widened. He then draw his her hand to his face and kissed the back of it tenderly.

"I can finally have you for myself." 

October felt her heart skipped a beat and blushed. Still, she tried to cover it up with a frown and harrumphed. She will not let this man continue to control her emotions. 

"Hmph!" 

Lexus sighed before pulling October to him. He securely wrapped his strong arms around her waist and kissed her hair. The smell of her shampoo penetrated his senses and gave comfort to him. He could not stop himself from smelling more of it.

Of course, how can October keep calm when her husband was getting more and more touchy with her when they were still in the car. 

"Stop touching me everywhere." October snapped and swatted his hand. She steal glances at the driver in front who seemed to be focusing so hard on the road and tried to block off all of the sounds and happenings at the back. 

Still, that did not stop her from worrying and getting embarrassed. 

Lexus only chuckled at this before loosening his hold of her.

"Okay. Well, your superior seemed to have some hatred to me." As he said this, his eyes darkened and his jaws tightened. That kind of glare was something he would not miss. 

"Hatred? That's a first. Well, Director Sheng is my superior who took care of me in the company and treated me well. I see him as my uncle." She shrugged her shoulders and leaned her body to him. She closed her eyes and tried to relax.

"Hmm...okay." He can understand that much. 

Lexus then kissed her temple and placed his hand on her flat belly. He felt grounded, contented.

"Hey, how many kids do you want to have?" October asked this out of curiosity. Though she has to admit, she was also quite shocked that she asked this question.

"Oh? I did not expect for you to ask this." Lexus chuckled. "Let's see...how about a dozen?" Lexus said jokingly but then flinched as he felt a slight sting on his arm.

"Then get pregnant yourself." October growled. 

A dozen? Seriously? What does he think she was?! Wait, didn't they already talk about this? Was he teasing her again?!

"Mother requested it of me." He shrugged, acting dumbly. Though it would have been nice if their house were filled with a copy of his wife. Then he would live such a happy life. 

"But...a dozen? Wouldn't that be too much?" October fell into deep silence. Getting pregnant and giving birth twelve times? What is she, a baby machine?

She shook her head said seriously, "No, I can't do that. It can affect my work."

"Then stop working."

"Drop it. I don't want to stop working." She opened her eyes and tilted her head to look at him square in the face. 

"Fine. If that's what you want." He shrugged and gave up for today. But if he tried another time, maybe he could convince her. "You're a stubborn one, aren't you?"

The car then stopped in front of a mansion. Though it was not as big as the one in City D, it can be considered to be the biggest one in the city. The gate then opened and soon they stopped in front of the front door. 

October did not wait for the butler to open the car door for her as she unceremoniously opened it herself and stepped out. 

"Aren't you talking about yourself?" She raised her brow at him with a silent glare when he stood right beside. 

"I don't know about that." He shrugged. "In that case, we're the same."

"Hmph." She ignored him.

The butler paused in his steps and for a moment, he does not know what to do at the sight of this. To think that there will come a time wherein he would see someone ignoring his young master coldly. And it was even a lady.

"Welcome, young master, young madam." He said and gave a respectful bow. 

October was taken aback by this. She did not notice the butler standing there until now. 

"Thank you." She said after composing herself. By that, she also had on a stoic look on her face. 

"Take our things to our room. After that, you all can go." Lexus said this and went straight toward the front door while holding October. He then guided her toward the kitchen.

"What's our dish for today?" Lexus said as soon as he opened the kitchen door for October to enter.

She looked at him weirdly and sighed. "So you want me to cook for you."

"Of course. My wifey's cooking is the best afterall." He said and leaned his body on the counter and pulled October to him. Noticing the stray lock of hair covering her face, he gently tucked it behind her ear and a smile so sweet emerged on his usually cold face.

"If you want me to cook then you have to help me. I don't want you to just sit down and watch me do the cooking. If you want to eat, then help."

"Okay." 

October and Lexus then started to go about the kitchen. One went to get the meat and vegetables from the fridge and washed it and the other cutting them all. The two worked together in complete sync. 

With that in mind, the butler smiled and closed the kitchen doors silently and went out.
