My Little Sunshine - Chapter 271

Saturday evening,

“Do I have to attend the banquet?” Stella spoke up with a frustrated expression as her eyes lingered over the dress before her which was hanging on a clothing rack. Just like always, it was Katherine who had sent her this along with some matching accessories. The dress was very simple yet elegant, perfect to go with her personality. Moreover, it was black and designed like a frock, which would help her in keeping the news about her pregnancy a secret for a little longer. Not that it was visible, but she was clearly putting on some weight.

“Of course, you do, silly woman. It’s your company’s event.” Adam spoke up without moving from his place. He was leisurely lying down on the couch in the living room, with his hands tucked under his head.

“Umm…Excuse me, Mister!” She turned her head around to have a better look at him. “Whose company are you talking about?” She raised an eyebrow and asked him.

“You are the CEO of the company, my dear little wifey.” He shifted his head slightly so that he was facing her. “What whatever belongs to me, is yours as well. And that includes this humble servant of yours.” He tilted his chin towards himself as he added the latter part.

“When are you going to take over the company again? You know how tiring it is for me in my current state?” She complained to him, pursing her lips in a pout.

Hearing her complaints, he heaved out a tired sigh as he got up from the couch. Walking up to where she was standing, he hugged her from behind. “I know it’s tiring for you, my love. I am so sorry for putting you and our babies through this.” He apologized to her as he buried his face in the crook of her neck. If only things were any different, he wouldn’t have even allowed her to step inside the company in her current state. He would have showered her and their babies with all the love and care he could.

“Stop with your apologise already.” She rolled her eyes as she leaned against him. “Together, forever! Get it?” She muttered next to his face, her fingers interweaving through the locks of his hair.

Adam hummed lowly into her neck and hugged her tighter. “I hate myself for not giving you a proper wedding, sweetheart.”

“You know what is more important than a proper ceremony? The feelings between two people who are bound in that relationship. I don’t give a damn about some fancy ceremony as long as you want to spend the rest of your life with me.” She added with a smile. “And don’t tell me that you are having second thoughts about marrying me?”

“I can never have second thoughts about you, my love.” He answered her, squeezing her waist tighter. “It’s not like I have a choice anyways now that I have knocked you up.” He added in a mischievous tone as he began to caress her belly.

“You….” She turned slightly in his embrace so that she could have a better view of and was about to confront him for the remark, but the words got stuck inside her mouth when his lips crashed over hers. He kissed her like it was the first time he was getting a chance to taste her luscious lips. No matter how many times in a day or in an hour he kissed her, he could never have enough of his little elf.

After having his fill of her, he finally let go of her lips, rendering her breathless. “You are going to look so beautiful in that dress.” He pressed a kiss on top of her crown. “And no heels by the way.” He added while pointing on the floor, next to the clothing rack where two shiny black high heels were placed.

“But….” She wanted to say something in protest, but decided to keep her mouth shut after receiving a glaring look from her man. ‘There goes my whole look.’ She thought to herself. The mere thought of wearing flats pumps with that frock, was giving her a headache.

“It’s almost six now and you take like forever to get ready. You better start soon with your shower. I have something I need to deal with first before getting ready.” He reminded her of the time as it wouldn’t be good for her or the company if she ended up being late to her own banquet.

“Why are you going out at this hour? You need to hurry up as well because you need to put on the mask as well.” She asked him with a frown marring her forehead.

“I didn’t say that I am going out. I just need to make an important call and I need to use your phone for that.” He flashed her a smile, causing her to shake her head.

“Go and check the study, It must be on my study desk.” She answered him to see him blowing a kiss in her direction before he made a run to her study. A smile bloomed on her face as her eyes continued to look in the direction he had run in earlier. She felt a warmth spreading through her chest. This place was starting to feel more of a home to her after he had returned. Before that it was just some luxurious fort to her. It doesn’t matter where in the world she was, if he was by her side, the place would eventually become home for her.

No matter how many times she thanked the heavens above for bringing him into her life, it would still be less. He had completely turned her world upside down, but she was becoming more and more used to this upside world of hers. Shaking the thoughts off of her mind she turned her attention back to the dress. “Let’s get ready my little angels.” She muttered to herself before getting the dress off the rack. With the dress and the accessories which came with it in her hands, she walked towards her room upstairs.
