Chapter 1541: Chapter 1513: How About Making a Good Word?
Mrs. Kiara seemed to understand something, her gaze shifting back and forth several times between the scruffy-looking dog and her pet Beautiful Lady, before finally resting on Ashan’s trainer.
The young fellow looked honest and simple, and was so nervous in the presence of the imposing Mario Yuno that he barely dared to breathe, Kiara remembered what the veterinarian had said.
If it was indeed proven that the pup was sired by Ashan, the trainer would be penalized.
And Arlong certainly wouldn’t escape blame either, since he was the one who had brought Beautiful Lady in.
Besides, even if Mrs. Kiara had her suspicions, without solid evidence she couldn’t just point fingers; she had no idea what color the puppies would turn out to be when they mixed the black and yellow fur. They would just have to wait until the puppies were born a month later. If the black dog was the culprit, it would definitely show in their fur color.
With that in mind, Mrs. Kiara suppressed her anger and said to Mario Yuno,
"We’ll talk about Beautiful Lady’s issue when we get back, I’ll take her home now."
Wendy, tucked inside her carrying bag by Mother, let out a long sigh, looking at Beautiful Lady with sympathy.
Mario Yuno was completely out of the loop. His daughter-in-law seemed somewhat upset, but if it were serious, she wouldn’t keep it to herself instead of saying it outright, so he just let the matter drop.
Once home, Kiara put Wendy down and placed her hands on her hips to interrogate Beautiful Lady.
"What’s the situation with you, exactly? Alright, even if animals have instincts, how could you—"
She stopped halfway through, suddenly feeling it was a bit silly.
One shouldn’t judge animals by human standards; animals live by their reproductive instincts, plus even if she talked to Beautiful Lady, the dog wouldn’t understand.
At this point, even if Mrs. Kiara was full of frustration, she had no choice but to bear it. Beautiful Lady seemed to know she was unhappy, lying on the ground immobile, occasionally sneaking a glance at Mrs. Kiara. Noticing the stern look on Kiara’s face, she quickly looked away.
Regardless of whether the dog was truly pitiful or just acting, Mrs. Kiara couldn’t go on.
Frustrated, she had to go online to research what nutrition a pregnant dog needed and if there were any special precautions to consider. Unexpectedly becoming a grandmother was... exasperating!
When Mrs. Kiara was about done researching, she saw Beautiful Lady run to the bathroom and start vomiting. Kiara initially wanted to clean up after her, but when she saw it, she felt nauseous too...
Unable to deal with it, it was fortunate that the Young Aunt came over and took care of the cleanup.
Seeing Kiara look so pale, the Young Aunt asked,
"Dr. Clark, what’s wrong with you?"
"I might have an upset stomach, watching Beautiful Lady throw up made me feel sick."
"How about I make you something appetizing for lunch? We have hawthorn at home, maybe I can make some hawthorn sauce and then hawthorn sweet and sour pork?"
Kiara’s mother had brought over a bag of hawthorn not too long ago, which Kiara hadn’t even opened yet, as she didn’t really like sour foods, neither did Wendy.
"Sure." Kiara found the idea of something sour comforting and was quite keen on the idea.
Wendy, playing on the floor with her toys, was infuriated at the mention of hawthorn, protesting with baby noises.
"What are you fussing about? You couldn’t chew the food with your few teeth, even if I made it you couldn’t eat it."
"Ya!" Protest! She might not be able to chew, but she could still taste with chopsticks. Who said she wanted hawthorn!
"Fine, then let’s skip the hawthorn." Kiara compromised.
Acidic and sweet dishes were more appetizing, and Kiara ate two bowls of rice. Young Aunt noticed her increased appetite, but Kiara didn’t pay much attention to it until the afternoon when she was about to go to the Laboratory and discovered she couldn’t fasten her trousers.
This was a big deal.
Mrs. Kiara’s face was stern as she stood in front of the mirror, touching her belly, feeling as if she had gained weight...
"Have you seen my Yoga Ball?" Kiara asked Young Aunt, feeling that she had been neglecting her exercise recently.
"I put it away—Dr. Clark, you’re not pregnant again, are you?" Young Aunt asked casually.
"How could that be?"
She had always been careful, and imported condoms were expensive, how could she possibly be pregnant?
"Maybe you should get checked just in case, what if you really are... There’s this daughter-in-law living opposite our Home, she didn’t even know she was pregnant, and one day she forgot her keys and tried to climb over the wall to get in, nearly miscarried. Her mother-in-law came over and gave her a good talking to, I can hear her roaring every day..."
Young Aunt had just experienced such an incident at home, and she shared it with Kiara.
Kiara laughed, "That mother-in-law is really lacking in EQ, arguing with her daughter-in-law even though she’s pregnant, won’t that be a hidden danger for family harmony in the future?"
"Exactly, now that daughter-in-law stays quiet, will she not bear a grudge later? I’ve been following Dr. Clark for so many years and I know it’s clear that it’s better to be kind. If you’re not good to your daughter-in-law, she won’t take care of you when you’re old, it’s kindness if she does and duty if she doesn’t." Since Kiara had advised her a few times, Young Aunt learned to manage the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, and now they were getting along harmoniously, and she often had to thank Kiara for it.
Kiara nodded.
"Life is too long, unless you can guarantee you’ll never need others, don’t ever push things to the extreme, especially the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. Naturally, a mother-in-law hasn’t given birth to a daughter-in-law, and if she isn’t kind to her, caring for her in old age is a favor while not caring is an obligation."
The relationships between people are mutual, truly ungrateful extremists are rare, yet there are not many saintly mothers-in-law who can repay evil with good and hold no grudges when they’re old.
Young Aunt loved to listen to Kiara talk about these things; she adored psychologists, young as she was, she had a clear view of issues.
The two chatted for a while about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues, and Young Aunt was moved.
"Dr. Clark, I’m serious, with you and Young Master Lang’s conditions, why not have another one? A ’good’ character makes a pair, and with your temperament, you can be both a good mother-in-law and a mother-in-law, and Wendy would have a companion."
"Why are you saying this too..." Kiara pressed her forehead. She had barely managed to escape from the wave of baby pressure from her mother. Was there a mole for her mother lurking at home?
Of course, Young Aunt couldn’t say that Kiara’s mother had entrusted her with this, even giving her two pounds of wild boar meat...
Of course, the meat was not the point, she genuinely cared for the family. Seeing Kiara and her husband living harmoniously and both being high-income individuals, it would be a good thing to have another child.
Getting a bit fatter did serve as a wake-up call for Kiara. Conveniently, Fox Cat was returning from Overseas today, and they both had to hold their monthly meeting. She indeed had a thought she wanted to discuss with Fox Cat, about introducing some subconscious hypnosis courses on women’s beauty care, since it’s easy to make money from noble ladies.
After changing into a looser dress, Kiara said goodbye to her daughter and went to the Laboratory. Indeed, she saw Fox Cat had already arrived. Once she finished her experiments, Kiara planned to discuss the Workshop’s operation with Fox Cat.
Fox Cat had already brought out the accounts for the month. Kiara stood up to take them, but suddenly felt dizzy, her body involuntarily leaning forward, and Fox Cat quickly supported her.
And this scene was precisely witnessed by Mario Yuno, who had finished his work and come to pick up Kiara...
