Chapter 221 Brother or Sister?

"What happened to that kid today?" Alex was engrossed in Elly's happiness when she was caressing her womb, so he dismissed Kitten's abnormality.

"Doesn't Kitten like babies?" Elly looked sad. She was standing in front of the closed door where Kitten entered with disorganized complexity in his eyes.

"Don't think too much about it. Everybody spoiled him." Alex held her in his arms, and gave Elly's face a light kiss. The two went down to the kitchen.

"But you are too lax that Kitten has not yet left the room, it's already lunchtime." She helplessly told Alex

"Where's Kitten? Didn't you asked him to come down?" Elly flashed a question to a servant who was standing across her chair.

"Ma'am, I already called Master Kitten to come down", the servant said respectfully while he was bowing his head. "I called three times outside the room, but Master Kitten refused to open the door."

Alex slammed his hand on the table and disapproved his son's behavior.

"That kid is really spoiled!"

"What did you just called him?" Elly asked.

"Don't call him spoiled again!" Elly was frowning when she looked at him; Alex also frowned on her words. Elly's instinct told her that Kitten's abnormal behavior had something to do with her pregnancy. "Let me go see him."

"Watch your step." Alex spoke and hurriedly came behind her to support.

Elly was standing in front of Kitten's bedroom door; Elly knocked twice when she heard Kitten's shout came from inside the room. Kitten said that he did not want eat and they should not disturb him again.

Elly's hand which was resting on the door went stiffed and the corner of her mouth twitched. She became angry like Alex. "Hargreaves genes are really terrible!" she inwardly cursed.

Elly tried to calm herself down; with a slight smile on her face, Elly knocked on the door again and said softly, "Baby, it's mother. Can you open the door for me?"

The other party did not respond. Suddenly, with a soft 'clicked', the door was unlocked from inside.

Elly carefully opened the door; she found Kitten who was sitting above the bed, the quilt wrapped around his head. She turned around and walked towards him.

Elly sat in the edge of the bed and smiled at Kitten's tantrums; she softly asked, "Is my baby mad at me?"

Kitten's mouth slightly opened, he answered in a low voice. "I'm not angry at you. I'm sorry."

Her heart fluttered because of his words, and she stretched out her hand to embrace him.

"Can the baby tell me why?"

Kitten turned sideways to avoid her hands; the quilt was still wrapped around him which caused him to fall and then rolled to the ground. His face was on the ground, and his buttocks was upside. The scene in front of her was comical. Elly smiled but did not dared touch Kitten's body for fear that he would get hurt.

Kitten's fall made a noise. His face was facing the quilt down. He murmured,

"I don't want a baby brother."

"Why?" She was surprised and did not know what he was thinking.

"Don't you want someone to play with?"

Kitten got up. He went back to bed and returned his quilt, then he went straight to Elly. He put his hand on her lap and raised his head with tears ran down his face. "A new brother or sister will take away the love and attention between you and father. Especially on me, you might lose time with me."

Tears ran down on Kitten's face, and his voice was quivering. "The baby will need mother's attention and affection until the age of five because he is still a baby, he can't do anything. And of course, as your mother, I will always love you more than anything."

Elly held Kitten's face in her hands while saying those words, full of love. Elly didn't want to miss this deeply affection from her son. No matter what she did or said, she could not repeat the same mistake. Elly lost her voice and had to hold back her tears. "You're always in my heart. Even if there's a new baby, you are one of the most important people in my life."

Kitten's tears were wiped away by his mother, who answered him bluntly. If his parents had another child, their love for him would be lessen. "I don't want you to love me less!"

In the child's understanding, love was like a candy. It has a quantity, if it was given to others or it was eaten by others, it would be gone. The child never forget if the love they received was lacking. Kitten's father had been convincing his mother to have another baby, but he didn't want anyone else to take his parent's love.

Elly kissed Kitten's forehead and explained with a gentle smile. "Baby, our love for you will not lessen no matter what."

"Oh yeah?" He answered.

She gave an example in her suspicious eyes. "I love you, and you love mom, don't you?"

"Yes, mom."

"So, if you love me and you also love dad, does it mean you love me less?"

Kitten shook his head.

"Just like mom, I love you first and then I love your dad; but don't you feel that I love you less, do you?" Elly was letting him understand bit by bit.

Kitten hesitated for a few seconds before he nodded.

"So, even if you have a new brother or sister, we will still love you as always. Even more than before."

"Do you promise?" Kitten held out his pinky finger and grabbed her hand. Elly followed him with a smile, and pressed her pinky finger to his finger and said, "I promise."

After he received the promise, Kitten dispelled the anxiety and sadness in his heart; he hesitantly got into his mother's arms and he caressed his mother's belly. "The baby is good. Mom, have a brother. Don't give birth to a sister." He requested.

When she heard his son's request for the first time, Elly was very curious, so she asked. "Don't you like a sister?"

"Mom, baby girl loves to cry and her runny nose is too dirty. If I have a brother, I will teach him to fight and win over his classmates. Whoever dare to make fun of him, we will punch him. Also when we grow up, me and my brother will marry a beautiful and kind wife like you mom." He smiled.

Kitten's argument was reasonable and crooked at the same time. Elly looked at her son's proud face, she did not know whether to cry or laugh. She knew that her second child would grow up under the influence of his brother, Kitten.

Elly sighed; there was nothing else that mattered, as long as her children grew up healthy and love each other.

When Elly became pregnant, she became the target of their protection and their attention. Whenever she comes out of the bathroom door in the design room where she worked, Alex would always stand guard and looked paranoid; because of anxiety, he would die early.

Alex was the bossiest person she had ever met.

Linda was originally in the design room, she walked out of the room and was panicking, she asked hurriedly. "What happened? Did I miss something? When did you become a national treasure?"

Elly knew that Linda was joking. Elly smiled sheepishly and announced, "I'm pregnant. I just let things get a little out of control."

Linda was really shocked to hear the news. She looked at Elly's belly with envious eyes. "Well, I don't have a boyfriend yet, and you're going to have a second child. God, I'm so jealous on these people. God, please invite a handsome guy to hook me up. Please! God, please send a handsome guy to hook me up."

Elly giggled and listened to her good friend joked.

Elly was looking at Alex's busy work schedule, he can still give time to her and their baby.

"Look at him taking care of you, I'm so jealous." Linda teased her.

Minutes passed, Linda's jealousy did not last long because Secretary Gerald appeared in front of her after work.

"I heard Ms. Elly say that there was a lonely beautiful woman waiting for God to send someone to pick her up." Gerald deliberately made fun of her. "Does Miss Linda want to put an end to the days when she is jealous of others?"

Linda glared at him for teasing, shouted in an irritated tone. "I don't want to do this!"

Linda pushed away Secretary Gerald, who was standing in front of her. Linda sat in the car and blushed shyly.

Accustomed to his playful attitude towards Linda, Gerald sat in the driver's seat and said seriously. "Don't go out and say that you don't have a boyfriend. I'm your boyfriend. "

Linda turned to observe his reaction, she was flashing her lips as if she was smiling.

On the way, Gerald deliberately said a lot of things while they were on their way, as well as the recent positive changed on his superior's mood. He said a sentence. "When you are really in love, the spirit of work and sense of joy can be good together. The company employee knows from top to bottom positions that Boss Alex has become easier because Ms. Elly is pregnant."

Linda had a feeling that he lightly criticized her and Elly joking around. She looked out of the window and crossed her arms. "You can stop here."

"Don't you like me talking about it?" He asked in bewilderment that he had never been in a relationship with anyone, so he didn't know much about women.

"No, you misunderstand." Linda scratched her head. "I'm having dinner with my parents tonight. My parents' house is in front. You stop the car and I'll walk from here."

"Your parents' home?" Gerald stopped the car and pulled her arm when she wanted to get out of the car. "When will you take me to meet your parents?"

Linda was surprised and looked at him with her round eyes open widely. She was stunned for a second and started laughing. She hit his arm with an unpleasant voice. "You're kidding! We can perform in front of strangers, but you don't have to come to my house. My parents don't know the rumor."

"Who says I'm just going to play you?" Gerald was upset, so he pulled her hands hard and let her fell on his body. Their faces were only a few inches apart, and his voice was husky. "I told you I'd be responsible for you. Seriously! I'm not kidding. You are important to me."

Linda had never seen him so serious, and her heart was beating so fast; she did not know whether their pretense was right or wrong.

Gerald spoke more heavily. He was staring at her lips, and Linda pushed him away and got out of the car before he made a mistake.

Gerald also opened the car door and looked at her seriously, and sincerely said. "One day, you will ask me to go to your house and you will introduce me as your boyfriend."

Linda looked at him dumbfounded. Her mouth opened slightly and her cheeks turned red. She walked into the direction of the house; Gerald was following behind her. About one hundred meters, she was standing in front of a house.

She knew he was behind her, but she did not turned around to look at him again and just went straight inside the house.

Gerald stood outside the gate of the house, not knowing which room was her's in her parents' house, and he whispered to himself.

"Sooner or later, you will be mine."
