The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 232

“Seriously, October. I really did not expect that you would be married to President Song.” Director Sheng chuckled lightly as his eyes light flashed warmth and gentleness while looking at the stoic woman before him. It had never occured to him that time would fly so fast and that she’d one day leave the nest.

October nodded her head as she fell silent. She took her cup of tea on her hands. Even though she does not have much expression on her face, she also does not give off the cold aura while she was with Director Sheng.

“However, I am happy for you. No matter, if trouble arises, don’t forget that you have me to back you up. I say this to you even if I can’t do much in the face of the Song Family.” Director Sheng chuckled feeling a little embarrassed. But his words were truly sincere. All he wanted was to have this lady who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside happy for the rest of her life because that’s what she deserved.

October was touched. Her heart felt warmth because of the heartfelt words that came from the person she sees as her uncle. Maybe because of how she was starting to slowly change, but a small smile graced her usually calm and blank face.

“Thank you, uncle. I’m sorry for worrying you but right now, I am very contented and happy with how things are.” She said in a warm tone as her eyes that was looking straight at Director Sheng glowed brilliantly. With just that look, it was enough for him to know that she was truly feeling like what she had just said.

He was also feeling sad about it but he felt that there would come a time wherein October will resign to build her own family in the future. As to when it would be, he doesn’t know. Just that, he wished that that would not be the case at all, that it would not come.

“Good.” He nodded, seemingly contented as the weight in his heart somewhat lifted for a little bit.

“Also, Uncle Sheng, I…” October paused for a moment before continuing to say, “I am pregnant.”

Director Sheng, who was sipping his own tea, choked in this as soon as he heard this. He coughed hard as his eyes looked at October’s calm face with full of disbelief and surprise.

‘So fast?! Is getting pregnant that fast?’ He had his first child after so many tries but it took only a month for the couple to make a baby? Was having a baby so easy as picking pebbles on a rocky moutain?

“O-oh…well, congratulations. I didn’t expect for that blessing to come so soon to you young couple after only being together for a month.” He awkwardly laugh with face still flushed from his coughing just a few seconds ago.

“Three months.”

“Oh? Three months? Good, good. It’s good that you had spent some time getting to know each other even if it was short.” Director Sheng laughed. He thought that their relationship was just random or an arranged marriage made by their family.

However, this short happiness of his was short-lived as October ruthlessly chopped in in half with the words she will say next.

“I’m three months pregnant.”

“That’s even more magnificent! Yes, yes, you are already three months pregnant. Good. Haha…ha…?! What?” Director Sheng was horrified as realization hit him. He scanned October’s face but could not say that he was joking at all. This…he just could not believe this.

Suddenly, Director Sheng wracked his brains and remembered something that made him suspicious. This suspicious look he had was then turned to October. He was also skeptical and had some doubts but he has to ask her.

“That…that scandal that you were involved with was with that man?” And by “that” man, he meant Lexus.

Although he does not want to believe it, there was no other man that October was linked to except for Lexus. This only meant one thing. Still, this suspicion was still a suspicion. With that, he has to made this clear with the only person who could clear this up for him.

“…yes.” She curtly replied with an unhurried tone in her crystal-clear voice. She did not sound ashamed about this at all nor did she flinch. It may have been a scandal to others that will make one want to find a hole to hide into because of losing their face, but she was not like that at all. Something like that was trivial and will just pass.

But the most important thing that really made her think that everything was all in order was because of how she was after that incident. Why would she feel embarrassed with what happened? Wasn’t that the reason why she had met her caring and loving husband who dotes on her unconditionally? Wasn’t that the reason why she had a coming baby that will be an addition to her family? Wasn’t that the reason why she sees the world in a very different view: a world with vivid colors unlike the monotonous world she was living in before?

Then, a contented smile slowly formed on her impeccable and flawless face.

“Everything happens for a reason.” She said with a warm smile, warmer than the sun shining brightly in the sky outside. She looked dazzling, so radiant that Director Sheng had the difficulty in keeping a straight face without blushing.

In anything, she wants to thank the person who orc.h.e.s.trated all those things and made her fall into her dark scheme. This scheme may not work favorably with others, but fortunately, fate was on her side making her meet the person who’ll make her complete.

Fate really works in mysterious ways.

“Yes, yes. Everything really does happen for a reason. Good.” Director Sheng nodded his head in satisfaction. He was worried for nothing. It turned out that October was able to see the good from that situation and had even created her own happiness.

This was really a joyous thing. There was no need for him to lament for this.

The two’s meeting was harmonious with peaceful. They talked about their work and their lives. It was like there was a sense of companionship between the two. There was no strain in the air nor there was any feeling of awkwardness.

Meanwhile, in front of the tall building of Halo Company stood a woman standing imposingly. Her back was full of poise and domineering air. This was not the same as Lexus’ domineering air that can suffocate people, for this was a type wherein it was full of arrogance in it.

She wore her Dior violet dress that hugged her body showing her well-proportioned curves that was on the right places. She tilted her head up to look at the top-most floor of the building with squinting eyes that was covered with her black sunglasses. This made it cover most of her face and only showed her red-tinted lips that was hooked up into a seductive smile.

“Lexus, my darling, I’ve finally come to pick you up.”

She flicked her straight hair that was well-maintained to her back before making her way toward the building with towering confidence following her.

While October was making her way toward Lexus’ building with Assistant Yu fetching her, an uninvited guest had arrived in Lexus’ office.
