Taming The Las Vegas Playboy - Chapter 183

“Your little brother is on the way, Summer. What do you think of this?”

The harsh voice was talking to the puppy as he showed him a small rugby glove. Summer stopped playing with his rubber ball and looked up.

“Arf!”

He responded to his daddy to save his feelings and went back to play with his toy. Wirata was smiling to see the big man having a conversation with the small dog while he was searching through the baby’s stuff on the couch. He liked to touch them and looked at them a lot with his dreamy eyes.

“They are so cute, aren’t they, Wine? These small pieces for our baby.”

He said and showed her cute clothes. Wirata gave him a sweet smile and nodded.

“Yes, they are. But I have put them nice and tidy in the drawer for five times already and you keep taking them out like this, um…”

She was teasing him. Stefan shrugged and ignored her words.

Ben and James were laughing silently, so amused to see their big boss being crazy around the baby’s cute stuff. It had been a week since the boss found his missy and brought her home. Now they understood each other and being so sweet to one another.

“Wine, don’t walk too quickly, you’re gonna fall.”

The sentence Ben and James had heard a lot recently. The boss warned his missy every time when she lifted her feet from A to B which was only in the penthouse and it was a very safe area.

“I am very careful here, don’t worry.”

She said and lifting Summer’s toy basket up. Stefan hurried to take it.

“Don’t lift it. Why are you so stubborn? How many times do I have to tell you not to carry any heavy things?”

He scolded. Wirata looked at the man who carried Summer’s basket and picked the puppy’s toys up from the floor to put into the basket. She shook her head but with her face smiling. Wirata was amused and very fond of the man. The godfather with the basket in his hands looked so adorable.

“Alright, boss. And how many times do I have to tell you that I am only pregnant, not a cripple? I still can do what I used to do. Now I’m going to the terrace garden. Let’s go, Summer.”

Wirata said and walked to the back door. Stefan watched her and he hurried to put the basket at the corner then he followed her out there.

Wirata was going to water the plant. She put some water in the water can and walked around the pots. Stefan rushed over her.

“Go and sit down. I’ll do it. This can is heavy.”

He took the water can from her and did the watering. Wirata sat down on a chair and watched him with her happy smile.

He tried to improve himself every day as he had promised her. But Wirata did not want him to change himself completely to that extent. She loved him the way he was. She told him but as she knew, Stefan Mackenzie was a very stubborn man and just did what he wanted and thought it was best for her.

“Did you take your supplement for the morning yet, the after-meal one?”

Stefan turned to asked. Nowadays, when he got up he would prepare the medication for her and put it in the box according to the day.

Wirata then gave him a guilty smile.

“Um, sorry, I forgot.”

He frowned immediately with an unpleased gesture.

“That’s the reason why I keep telling you. Otherwise, you will forget just like this and it is no good! Go and take it now.”

The boss ordered. He was back to his usual style now. Wirata

Stefan was not pleased with her. Since last week when she had disappeared for more than 24 hours and she missed her medication and health supplements. He did not want her to skip the good stuff again. He wished he could take it for her so he did not have to remind her like this. Or it would be best if he could get pregnant for her instead!

“Yes, boss.”

Wirata said sarcastically. But before she moved. Ben and James came out.

“Boss.”

Ben’s voice called.

“Yeah? What’s up?”

Stefan turned to look at his bodyguards.

“Bernardo just called. He wants to see you, the same place and the usual time.”

Ben said. Stefan frowned to hear that. Their place would be the abandoned factory and the usual time would be…When?

“What about?”

He asked but then he remembered that they had an agreement on the night when he puked at the bastard. Bernardo probably wanted to talk about the contracts they had agreed to exchange. He would give all the documents about Santo’s debt to Bernardo.

“When?”

Stefan asked another question. But he then turned to see Wirata was looking with a question in her eyes, too. Making him remembered that she did not know what he had done on the night that she ran away. She did not know that he was out shooting badass people with the jackass Bernardo.

“You two go and wait for me in my office.”

Stefan told Ben and James. They could not talk about this business in front of Wirata. She could not know about fighting and shooting. And now she was looking at him with suspicion.

“What’s the matter?”

Wirata asked immediately. Stefan shrugged to give her a gesture that it was not important.

“Just business. Hm, about Santo. Birdy will take the deal.”

He told her some truth that was no harm to his self-security.

“In short, what does it mean?”

Wirata became interested because it was related to Amiya too.

“From now on, Santo will have to deal with Bernardo, not me anymore.”

Stefan gave her a short explanation as she asked. The tall figure walked to her and hugged and kissed her on the cheek.

“You go and get ready, sexy. I’ll take you to do some shopping. We haven’t done Christmas shopping yet. Lots of presents to buy.”

He said with his cheerful voice. In the past, Stefan ordered presents online at the high-end shops and his bodyguards would do it for him. He would only give them the ideas for what he was looking for. Then Ben and James would search for all the options for him.

Therefore, going out shopping at the big shopping center during the busy time of the year like this had never happened before and had never been Stefan’s thing. But this year, things would be different as he was not alone anymore.

Stefan smiled. Wirata nodded to him easily. He was in a very good mood and she did not want to spoil the morning by asking too much. She would find out about it later.

They walked into the house. Wirata went to the bedroom and Stefan went to the office room.

“I will take Wirata shopping for Christmas. And you two should do the same. Buy something for your families. This time of the year, it’s family’s time. James, have you called your parents yet? And you, Ben, stop dating and fucking bikini models, it’s about time you find a good woman to date and who knows, you might find a woman you love and wants to get married to. Be a good man.”

The boss said the things that made Ben and James gasped.

Holy shit! Where did that even come from?! A woman to marry to?!!

Ben looked at James and his eyes were communicating… WHAT THE FUCK?!

“Oh, yes, boss. I call them every so often. My sister is coming home for Christmas, too, and she will stay until New Year.”

James replied quickly. His parents lived here in Las Vegas. Their house was out of the busy city and was situated in a nice suburb. Josefia, James’s only sister, she worked in Los Angeles at the moment. She came home to their parents every Christmas. Usually, James joined them, too. But according to the boss’s uncertain schedule each year. So he just played it by ear.

“That’s great. Your sister? The one that Ben has an eye on, right?”

Stefan said. He had been sarcastic because Stefan remembered that James’s sister was the one who Ben tried to avoid like hell. He did not know their history and Stefan did not pay attention to this in the past.

“What, boss? I have an eye on whom?”

Ben repeated as he could not believe his ears. What the fuck was wrong with the boss this morning?

“Jame’s sis, but that’s your business. Stop wasting time and play around. You are getting older every day. Time is the most expensive thing in life. Stop fucking around.”

The boss made a serious voice. Ben could not believe it. The boss had been a badass for almost his life until 32 years old. He had just turned a new leaf not very long ago, just when he found his missy. And now he was preaching Ben and James as though he had been good all his life!

“I haven’t been fucking around, boss. I do have my standard. And during Christmas time, as it’s God’s birthday I don’t date but I pray instead and asked him for your health and safety.”

Ben replied with his straight face making James nearly choke with laughter.

“Since when?” James asked and Ben glared at this friend.

“Oh, every year, honestly. No dating during Christmas. A man has to tidy up and clear his schedule before the new year starts.”

“That sounds great. Wirata would be proud of you, Ben. As she is your cooking teacher. Good to install some morals in both mind and stomach.”

The boss said with a serious tone. The conclusion which the bodyguards were not sure what he really meant but they hurried to nod anyway.

Stefan looked at the time.

“Call Bernardo.”

The boss led the conversation back to the previous topic. James followed the order right away.

“What’s up? Why do we have to go to the abandoned factory? I don’t have time for that.”

Stefan said immediately when Bernardo answered the phone.

“I have news for BB bastards.”

Bernardo said with his furious voice. BB meant…Bruno and Brown.

“Aha, the B bastards.”

Stefan said sarcastically. Bernardo would be a good combination in that group, too.

“What news? Did you find them? I am taking Wirata to do some shopping. How about meeting at the shopping mall?”

Stefan asked Bernardo further.

Ben and James turned to look at each other.

The boss invited Bernardo to go shopping! Holy God! The world was about to perish.

“What?! Shopping at this time of the year? No fucking way I will do that. Don’t you know that it’s fucking crazy out there in the shopping malls everywhere? Only idiots would go out and I am not an idiot.”

Bernardo responded. Stefan shrugged.

“Up to you. So we can talk when I am available which I don’t know when. Oh, make sure you call to make an appointment first. I am a busy businessman. You can’t just ring and ask to see me any time you want. Understood?”

Stefan said to make it clear to Bernardo.

“Hey, do you think I want to see your shit face? Don’t bark too loud, asshole. So you are not interested to know about the BB bastard, I get it. But I recalled that we had agreed to swap the contracts and when do you want to do that?”

Bernardo asked with his irritated voice. Stefan was thinking about Amiya and he was sure Bernardo had to know about Santo’s younger daughter that was why he decided to exchange contracts with him easily. The dickhead must have some hidden agenda about her.

“Oh, I forgot to mention that several days ago, I met Amiya O’Neal.”

Stefan baited Bernardo with interesting information.

“What?! Really?! Where?! Tell me everything now.”

Bernardo’s voice was excited. Stefan raised a corner of his mouth in a smirk. He had not been wrong about this jackass.

“Oh, nothing much to say. She is Wirata’s friend apparently and she is a tough one. You have no chance to eat her up easily. If you have any plan to chew this one, I suggest eating sandpaper would be easier.”

Stefan said and laughed in his throat to hear Bernardo cursed furiously.

“So, you really saw her. Wow! Great! Oh! I happen to remember that I need some turkey for Christmas dinner. So, where are you going shopping? I will see you there.”

Bernardo changed his mind.

Stefan wanted to laugh out loud.

“You can come but you can’t disturb Wirata, understood? She’s pregnant and no asking any stupid questions to her.”

Stefan set the rule up to make sure Bernardo would not mess with Wirata.

Ben and James looked at each other over and over again while listening to the boss shit chatting to Bernardo.

They were not sure since when the relationship between the two godfathers had changed. In the past, they would talk less than three words and then let the fists and feet talk for the rest. But now the phone line was burning and the boss seemed enjoying the conversation a lot.

“Alright. See you.”

Once the boss finished talking on the phone, they went to the shopping center with the long list.
