Chapter 765 - Babies

Connor had seen how the two lived in Mocon and how they were slowly drifting away. They still loved each other, Aarvi took care of everyone better than they expected but Aaron had no idea what was going on in her life. The troubles she faced and the struggles she was going through to manage her company remotely from so far. 

She hid when she had fallen ill but didn't leave him a second when he was burning with a high fever. She didn't ask for cupcakes, hoping he would rest in his free time. She ignored her wish to have a wedding when they attended Shawn and Shea's wedding. The list was never-ending.

Speaking between the couple wasn't a good idea, so Connor didn't interject and hoped everything would be settled down quickly.

It took her around eighteen months to finally buy a bankrupt company and rebranded it as Skylar. Aaron didn't have an idea until it was inaugurated with a small event. 

Standing at a distance watching Dax making her laugh saying something, Aaron realized he was failing terribly. She had become so independent that she didn't need him at all. She wasn't depending on him for anything or asking him if they could do something together. It had taken him some time to make her look for him, share with him, be spoiled. Now everything was back to zero or probably negative. 

Connor glanced at his son. He could clearly feel what was going on in Aaron's mind. "A relationship should always be progressive. How busy we might be with life, just one's effort doesn't make a good relationship."

He patted Aaron's arm, "Your wife is too strong-minded and stubborn. She could survive everything… It's not too late, don't teach her to let go of what's holding her back." 

Aaron clenched his teeth without responding to Connor. When did everything turn around for them? When did he become so selfish?

From then on, he started noticing every little change in their life. Her beautiful smile was a great mask. The loving hug had become a formality. The affectionate kisses became a quick kiss before running towards work or study. 

He was getting tired and returning home, since she focused on him, he focused on himself to get some rest. She would wake up early without disturbing him and do all the chores alone in silence. She never whined for silly reasons, never asked anything or complained about his schedules.

Aaron realized in the name of completing his research quickly, he wasn't balancing his life. Isn't it better to drag the research time than affect his relationship with his wife, his love?

The man was back to mend his life and cheer his drama queen for those real smiles and her silly antics. Even though he was tired, he joined her in the kitchen, planned dinners that sparked their teasing and romance. Woke up early to give her a hand which gave them time to cuddle with a cup of coffee and pleasant conversation. He accompanied her in the gym and also focused on getting his body back to shape.

Then he realized, tired and busy were excuses. One should know to manage and focus. Exhaustion would die looking at the smiles of loved ones and 'no time' would become 'I will make time.'

Poor Connor and Roach were showered with lots of dog food after it.

Coming to Aarvi's Skylar branch, she didn't start it off out loud to bring fame. Her persistent research in the market and her timely act, hunt, acquire and revamp were perfect. She got major fashion labels, restaurant chains under her company. Her work started to speak instead of publicity. 

In less than a year, she was featured in major magazines and news channels. She didn't avoid them like in the Mocon. Since Dax wasn't there she took care of those things.

Two more years passed by joyfully. Aaron's research was completed. He was officially addressed as Professor Rivas. Anyway, he was assisting with some major research of his senior professor. 

During that time, Aarvi often flew between cities and stayed away for two to three days straight.

On the video call, Aaron complained as soon as she answered the call, "President Evans, which company is making you travel so much?" Aaron was displeased by the video call on the third day. She didn't tell him the hotel, knowing he might fly over.

"Whose kid is whining there?" Jaxon's voice sounded when Aarvi bit her tongue and looked away.

Aaron scolded the man who came on the screen holding his mobile, "Why are you troubling my wife? Shoo… Go to your wife."

Aarvi burst into laughter looking at Jaxon's expression. "Brother Jaxon, I will see you in the morning." She took her mobile from Jaxon's hand and opened the hotel suite main door for him to leave.

"Look at this heartless girl, throwing me away without giving me a party." Another complaint rose.

"Party for what?" Aaron asked as he turned on the business news channel.

Jaxon snorted and left the room, taking his laptop.

"Ronron…" Aarvi's excited voice came soon. 

Aaron heard the news about Skylar acquiring Pagani automobiles, a manufacturer of sports cars. He looked at the mobile screen and chuckled seeing Aarvi jumping in the spot, "I did it, Ronron. I made it."

She never told him Pagani was her favorite car or never mentioned that acquiring Pagani was her dream. Anyway, he focused on the celebration, as he worked on the laptop to book a flight ticket, "Congratulations, Cupcake. I need a party."

"Of course, there will be a big celebration in Mocon," They were leaving in fifteen days once Connor serves the notice period and retires. 

Their conversation continued till he boarded his flight and she dozed off while on the call.

Thus before she left the country S, the Skylar branch was stable and well known far and wide. 

In three years, she and Dax had successfully acquired quite a few businesses in different countries in different fields, leading Skylar towards a prosperous future.

-------

When the three returned to the country, the whole family was there to welcome them home. She demanded Shawn first, "Where is my godchild?"

Shawn: "..."

They didn't plan yet due to busy Shea. The latter probed in excitement, "Aarvi, I was thinking… We should try together." To get pregnant.

Everyone: "..."

Nevertheless, Aarvi was enticed, "From today."

Everyone: "..."

"I want a baby boy."

"Ronron wants a baby girl."

"Perfect..."

Aaron and Shawn sat dumb and deaf while their wives sat in the back seats of the car and started planning everything for the unborn babies, including the matching clothes to grow the babies like twins and building a big toy house.

Shawn asked in a low voice while driving, "Are we not required anymore?" He realized if they have babies, these two women will forget their husbands.

"Of course, we are needed." Aaron said and Shawn's face glowed, Aaron continued, "For the seeds."

Shawn: "..."

His brother has learned how to make one sad. He cried alone without tears. He wanted babies and also his wife or else he will miss her. He shot his brother a deadly glare, "Little Heart will give you no time. Enjoy your fatherhood." He didn't back down and made his brother sad too.

Aaron: "..."

Busy with their new life, planning babies, Aaron had forgotten, Aarvi had another person left on her list to handle.
