Chapter 1545 - 1517: Stay as Long as Possible

Chapter 1545: Chapter 1517: Stay as Long as Possible

Dragging Mario Yuno along, the three apprentice siblings had a meeting behind closed doors in the house. Once the game of chess was finished, Kiara’s meeting also wrapped up.

"If there’s nothing urgent, head home early and get some rest. We can talk about any issues tomorrow," Kiara’s attitude didn’t seem different from usual, but a careful look would reveal the many red veins in her eyes.

Leaving Kiara’s place, Yuzo Joel felt quite happy along the way, the thought of the upcoming new life made him quite cheerful.

"Aren’t pregnant women supposed to avoid extreme emotions? Did Kiara have a fight with Mario Yuno today?" asked Edward Farmbright, who was driving, in a seemingly casual manner.

The Fox Cat, sitting in the co-pilot’s seat, caught on and chimed in.

"Right, didn’t you notice her eyes were all red? She almost got a fright because of it."

This was the prepared opening gambit, Mrs. Kiara had instructed them exactly what to say, and Camden was innocent from start to finish, becoming the scapegoat.

"The Arua irritated Kiara?!" Yuzo Joel instantly lost his smile, he would have flipped the chess board at home had he known earlier that the Arua dared to upset his daughter!

"That’s not the point, the thing is, Kiara’s pregnancy this time is a bit unusual."

"Sure is, haven’t you noticed she’s become even more sensitive than before? She just shut the door in the room and cried with us, complaining that Mario Yuno comes home and doesn’t wash his feet, which annoys her..."

Poor Camden, he was wronged having to carry this blame; Mrs. Kiara, wanting to keep Dad around, had no choice but to sacrifice the cleanliness-loving Camden.

"Just over that?" Yuzo Joel found it hard to believe, when did his daughter become so petty?

"Yes, it seems she might be showing some signs of depression during pregnancy."

"Depressed after just one month?"

"Could also be a side effect of medication, the injections she had when with JR could cause unknown side effects on the brain," the Fox Cat said earnestly.

Kiara’s injections would occasionally be used as a weapon by her, now was the time to utilize it again.

"Old Man, you know your own daughter; she’s never been very forgiving, and now that she’s pregnant, extreme emotions are the last thing she needs. If a pregnant woman is sad, it’s not only bad for the baby but also harmful to the mother. The likelihood of depression during pregnancy is already high, and her emotions have been even more unusual since she got those injections."

"Really?" Yuzo Joel didn’t believe that his daughter could be suffering from pregnancy depression.

Wasn’t she just laughing brilliantly like a flower when she entered the room, and now depressed within a few minutes?

"It’s absolutely true. Did you know what she told us in the room just now? She said to get the Fox Cat to buy several bottles of disinfectant so Mario Yuno could soak his feet. She said if he doesn’t wash them, she can’t go on living—Old Man, don’t you think her condition is abnormal?"

"It is a bit abnormal..." Yuzo Joel began contemplating how to discreetly raise the personal hygiene issue with his son-in-law.

"We just wanted to remind you that her current physical condition isn’t the same as usual. If anything goes wrong in these ten months, not only could she lose the child, but she could also be in danger," said the Fox Cat.

"If not washing his feet can make her so distressed, imagine losing your underpants—" the Fox Cat teased.

"Your ’underpants,’ not mine!" Yuzo Joel couldn’t bear to listen anymore.

His apprentices, with their Hong Kong and Taiwan accents, had spent too much time with Kiara and her husband and picked up a unique northern accent, along with many bizarre vocabulary words.

"Yacob, what exactly does ’underpants’ mean?" the Fox Cat, always hearing Kiara say it, asked with interest.

"Oh, it’s an onomatopoeic word, mimicking thunder. It can be used in many situations. Like when you’re shocked or describing something that happened suddenly, just like the phrase we just used, the Old Man suddenly disappeared. It not only conveys the abruptness of the event but also a great shock."

"...I’m too old for this..." Yuzo Joel was too exhausted to ridicule anymore.

"In any case, if you can’t hold on, it’s hard to save the baby in Kiara’s belly."

"If the baby can’t be saved, Kiara is ruined." Fox Cat and Edward Farmbright played a word chain game.

"If Kiara is ruined, Wendy is done for too."

"If the trio of ladies are all done for, Mario Yuno probably won’t make it either."

"If Mario Yuno can’t make it, then—"

"Enough! Stop the nonsense! Just drive properly! And you, aren’t you suspected of having depression, shouldn’t you be feeling guilty, stay silent!"

Mr. Joel was annoyed by the nagging.

Nowadays, even heading to death in peace isn’t easy.

"Senior Uncle, I’m such a pessimist, but Kiara managed to pull me back. Can’t you make an extra effort for her sake?" Fox Cat rarely spoke so sentimentally.

Kiara’s influence on him was truly significant.

During his time overseas, she would send him emails every other day, sometimes discussing work, sometimes sharing bits of her family life, the mundane text carrying a warm strength that helped him rediscover himself from the depths of his dejection.

The process wasn’t instantaneous but natural and incremental, and she achieved it.

So, Fox Cat’s feelings for Kiara had changed since he returned, still fond of her, still the most important place in his heart, but now there was more than love, which was why he felt happy for her getting pregnant with Mario Yuno’s child, instead of feeling jealous.

"Speaking of which, shouldn’t you be upset about her having a child? How come you’re still advising me to keep it together and help her save the baby?" Yuzo Joel asked.

The rumors had it that there was a little something between Fox Cat and Kiara, but Fox Cat’s attitude now seemed a bit too composed.

"I’m happy if she’s happy," Fox Cat said casually, flipping his hair.

Edward Farmbright couldn’t stand his pretentious air and, taking advantage of a red light, hit the brakes hard. Fox Cat lurched forward, his image completely shattered.

So Fox Cat unceremoniously lobbed something at Eldest Brother’s Ultimate Beauty, causing Edward Farmbright to wince in pain.

"You wait for me. I’ll set up a fight at the toilet door when we get home!"

"Heh."

"With you kids causing so much trouble, I indeed can’t leave with peace of mind..." Yuzo Joel reflected.

"The few of us with generous hearts are one thing, but you understand the petty nature of that daughter you found yourself; you may not worry about us, but you must for her sake, otherwise, she really could wail over your grave."

Edward Farmbright seemed casual, but he was constantly monitoring Yuzo Joel’s reactions, and so was Fox Cat.

Every word and action of theirs today had been according to Kiara’s instructions, for Kiara understood Yuzo Joel best and knew how to speak discreetly without arousing his suspicion.

Yuzo Joel sighed deeply, for everyone’s sake, it seemed he had to keep going after all...

Fox Cat exchanged a look with Edward Farmbright, knowing that for Kiara’s sake, Yuzo Joel would definitely try his best to persevere. Once the baby was born, they’d find other excuses to keep him going, like the first year after childbirth also being a high-risk period for depression and such. If the Old Man’s medicine still wasn’t ready by then, they’d go for the big gambit, sending Kiara overseas to keep having babies, one after the other, for as long as possible...
