At Yang Ancestral Mansion
"Dad, do we have some important occasion or something to celebrate?" Xander asked seeing the extraordinary feast his father had prepared to welcome them back homel. It was almost evening when they all arrived at Yang Hospital and then Yera secretly rode with Xander from the bas.e.m.e.nt of the hospital as usual.
Senior Yang smiled and walked towards Yera and gave her a warm hug. "Welcome back daughter. I heard an accident occured during your trip, I was anxious when I heard about it but I'm glad you and Xander are both well. I'm very happy today that you two are back home so I have prepared all the dishes that I believe you like." Senior Yang said followed by a wink that brought a bashful sweet smile on Yera's lips.
"Thank you father," Yera whispered with her broadest smile and walked to her seat when her father-in-law signaled them to sit. She really loved it, how thoughtful and heartwarming her father-in-law was with her always. Yera could feel a real family in Xander's household and she was really happy. During dinner, her father-in-law asked how their team was building, he was very caring for her health and everything that Xander only shook his head with a grin as he listened with the two enjoying their chats.
"Darling, the mixed vegetables are good. Have some…" Xander said and put some on Yera's table. Senior Yang watched his son take care of Yera full of care and love. 'Maybe it will be better not to tell him anything.' Senior Yang mused suddenly seeing how happy the couple were. He was not really sure how the truth would impact the good relationship between the couple. He let out a long deep sigh. He decided to tell Xander everything as soon as he went back home but now he was a bit hesitant.
'Kanya… What should I do?' Senior Yang suddenly went into a dilemma. "Dad, are you there? What's wrong? You stared at us without blinking," Xander asked grinning when he noticed his father was in deep thought while looking at them.
Senior Yang smiled and commented bluntly, "Nothing, just wondering when I can finally have grandchildren in our big mansion." Yera's face blushed hard with that comment unlikely with Xander's wide ear to ear grin. "Don't worry Dad, I'm working hard on it…" He mumbled proudly and Yera subconsciously poked him with her red cheeks and said, "Stop it."
Senior Yang laughed and added, "You two look great together." And at the same moment he decided to not disclose the truth to Xander because he was afraid of the aftermath. The atmosphere was just too good to kill with an incident that already happened in the past.
After dinner, the couple went into their room. Xander was so playful that he showered Yera several kisses as soon as they were inside the room. The couple were smooching and giggling when Xander's mobile phone rang.
Several rang filled the room but Xander was too busy kissing Yera but the ringing did not stop disturbing the intimate moment the couple were having.
Yera gently pushed Xander and said, "Answer it first. I think it's important. I'll go clean up first."
Xander cursed the caller silently and gave her a forced nod.
"Hello," Xander scoffed and added, "Make sure it's important or I'll kill you."
Ralf who was on the other line gulped and cleared his throat before saying, "Sir, I believe this matter is of great importance."
"What is it?" Xander asked.
"Sir, I sent you the complete files and reports. I suggest you check it right now… and alone..." reported Ralf. Xander creased his forehead and looked at the bathroom where Yera was.
"Alright. I got it," Xander said before he ended the call. He walked to the bathroom and knocked.
"Yes?" Yera shouted.
"Darling I'll just go into the study room in a while to check an important matter. Do wait for me okay?" said Xander before he went straight into his study area..
He opened his laptop and checked the files Ralf was referring to. His face darkened, with forehead creased, Xander snorted, "What is this?"
....
Yera was humming as she went out of the bathroom in her bathrobe. She felt refreshed after a warm bath. She opened her closet to choose sleepwear. Before she would often choose a pair of pajamas but now, with a bashful grin on her face, her hands picked up a royal blue silk slip comfortable night dress.
She looked at her own reflection at the mirror before a contented smile curved on her natural red lips. The color enhanced her skin tone more. She giggled then mumbled, " I can even giggle now…" Then quickly jumped on their bed and hid herself under the comforter since she knew her husband would definitely and absolutely tease her for her sudden having a different taste on sleepwear. Xander was the one who chose her nightgowns and lingeries before and to be honest she had no plans in wearing them at all.
Well that was before of course before she came to love Xander. After thirty minutes, Yera's eyes started to feel heavy. She looked at their wall clock. Xander was inside his study area for more than an hour already.
"Is it about work?" she mumbled. Xander was slacking at work these past few days so Yera thought that he probably had a pile of important things to review. She yawned several times already that she could no longer contain her drowsiness because her body was tired also not to mention that it was already late.
Xander, on the other hand, did not move on his seat at all for hours. His face was blank and expressionless, indicating he was in a very deep conflicted thoughts. Finally, he decided to stand up from his seat and walked out from his study area.
He walked on their bed where Yera was already sleeping soundly. He silently and carefully joined her on their bed. He hugged her tightly and buried his face on her neck...
