Chapter 1230: Chapter 1202 This Matter is a Bit Difficult to Handle Chapter 1230: Chapter 1202 This Matter is a Bit Difficult to Handle “Anyway, you haven't exactly made me comfortable either,” Kiara thought about how he had been nagging like Sebastian Tatum for the past few days, which was upsetting.
Mario Yuno had used up all the words he hadn't said in the first half of his life during her pregnancy. If Kiara acted mischievously, he would nag her endlessly, giving Kiara the weird illusion that her mum had somehow possessed Camden.
“Pregnant women should be aware of their conditions, daughter-in-law. You are quite calm when you're not pregnant, so why do you seem like a completely different person the moment you're carrying a child?”
Camden also had a headache. Ever since his daughter-in-law got pregnant, she seemed to have endless energy, completely lacking the self-awareness of a pregnant woman. And then there was Yuzo Joel, who was not helping at all–what a headache.
“When I'm not at home, you sneakily feed my daughter-in-law all this nonsense–” Mario Yuno said while grabbing a duck head from Kiara's hand and taking a bite. Huh, it was actually quite tasty.
“Why are you so free today?” Kiara's treat was snatched away. Yet her eyes eyed the remaining few on the coffee table. Annoyed, Camden had better go work so she could continue eating~
“Workplace Organisation had nothing for me to do, so I got half of the afternoon off. I came back to make a little wooden bed for the baby.” Mario Yuno said as he gathered the food on the coffee table he thought the pregnant woman should not eat too much of, along with all the tools he brought back, ready to go downstairs and find an open space to make a small bed for the child.
“I'll help you make it,” Yuzo Joel stood up as Mario Yuno pulled out the blueprint he had prepared in advance from his pocket.
“You understand this?”
“Nonsense, what haven't I done before?”
Seeing the two men about to go downstairs, Kiara also wanted to follow them, and both men said in unison.
“Put on an extra jacket!”
Kiara pouted; these two men conspired to do bad things. Yuzo Joel also complained about how much Camden controlled things, but he wasn't much better himself.
A little while later, an odd scene took place in the neighborhood: two men sawing wood and measuring with a ruler, with Kiara sitting on a little stool, holding an insulated cup. The pregnant woman, treated like a protected species, wore a lot. The dog raised by the pregnant woman was also wearing a cool little dog jacket and sat obediently next to Kiara, tilting his head and watching the busy men.
Mario Yuno and Yuzo Joel chatted amiably. Both of them were well-learned, and could match each other's conversation whether it was about astronomy or geography. Kiara, resting her chin on her hand, listened to their chat and even chimed in on topics that interested her.
The two men moved from discussing the baby crib's decorations to the Five Elements, then from the Five Elements to Traditional Chinese Medicine. Talking about Kiara's current health, Mario Yuno asked.
“They say human emotions correspond to the five internal organs. Pleasure harms the heart, anger the liver, sorrow the lungs, fear the kidneys. Look at my Kiara, she's always as happy as can be; is that normal?”
It's normal to be happy during pregnancy, but to be as cheerfully content as Kiara without a care is rare.
“The founder of positive psychology, Seligman, believed happiness consists of five elements. Kiara, can you say which five?” Yuzo Joel was always ready to instruct.
The moment Kiara heard this, she perked up, sitting up straight, “Positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and achievement. Coincidentally, I've got all five covered!”
Mario Yuno laughed at her response, “I understand positive emotion from having a baby, but what about the rest, especially the 'achievement' part?”
“Having a baby greatly improved my relationship with my parents and in-laws. Who would dare to scoff at me now when I swagger about? The achievement comes from the fact that I'm about to give birth to the most outstanding child, and I will spend the rest of my life accompanying her and protecting her growth. Isn't such dedication meaningful enough?”
Just thinking about it filled her with joy, and her mood every day was as bright as the sun.
By chance, some wives of the high executives in the courtyard were returning from grocery shopping and saw this happy family from a distance. They couldn't help but praise them.
“That's madame's father from her maternal home, isn't it? He looks so young.”
“Definitely her biological dad. If he weren't, how could he possibly bring so much stuff over every time? Our madame isn't old either, so it's normal for her dad to be younger.”
Mario Yuno looked up just in time to see, too far to hear the voices but capable of reading lips, he saw what the sisters-in-law were saying. Then he looked at Kiara and Yuzo Joel. Initially, Yuzo Joel had said he asked Kiara to help him with his treatment, but the more Mario Yuno watched, the less it seemed to be the case. Seeing how happily Kiara was smiling, who was really treating whom?
Kiara wouldn't admit it, but Mario Yuno noted that since Yuzo Joel started visiting his home frequently, Kiara's mood had always been good.
Yuzo Joel also indulged Kiara, buying whatever she wanted to eat and visiting to chat with Kiara when he had the time. The last time Camden came back, he saw Yuzo Joel and Kiara seriously evaluating comic characters using Psychology, unable to find anyone else who could accompany Kiara so well.
It was said that Yuzo Joel needed Kiara to transfer paternal love, but in Mario Yuno's view, Kiara was also basking in Yuzo Joel's light, unconsciously reclaiming the paternal love she missed in her childhood from him.
With both people learning from each other like this, each found psychological satisfaction. Camden was pleased to see this, and if Kiara ever wanted to recognize a godfather or something, Mario Yuno had no objections. He was just afraid… Camden didn't want to admit that there was a bucket of old vinegar brewing in his heart, just waiting for a chance to erupt.
As they were making progress with the crib, Beautiful Lady's cell phone rang from her back.
After Kiara became pregnant, she switched to a supposedly lower radiation cell phone and asked Beautiful Lady to carry it out for her, with a special little pocket on its back for it.
Since Yuzo Joel was closer to Beautiful Lady, he pressed the speakerphone, sparing Kiara the trouble of reaching out to take it, and Zoel Cohen's voice came out from Beautiful Lady.
“Emma Clark, there is something I hesitated about whether or not to tell you.”
“Hahaha!” Mario Yuno burst into laughter upon seeing this. Hey, the sound of Zoel Cohen coming from Beautiful Lady, felt so harmonious and delightfully satisfying.
“What's gotten into your Arua, having fits?” Zoel Cohen frowned at the sound of Mario Yuno's brash voice.
“Never mind him; he's just a big fool–What were you going to tell me?” Kiara managed to suppress her laughter as well.
While Kiara continued talking to Zoel Cohen on the phone, Yuzo Joel's phone also rang, with a call from Aka.
Mario Yuno couldn't hear the conversation on Yuzo Joel's end, but he could hear Kiara's voice through the speakerphone.
“Emma Clark, I've got some not-so-good news for you, your father–”
At the mention of those two words, Kiara's face suddenly turned cold, and she interrupted Zoel Cohen without any politeness.
“Use his name, I've long severed father-daughter ties with him.”
“Alright, I've received news that Rico Clark has recently racked up a huge debt with an underground lender, the creditor is quite aggressive and might even consider chopping off his limbs. Do you need me to intervene?”
Zoel Cohen was straightforward. Yuzo Joel probably received the same information, as Aka constantly monitored all unstable factors surrounding Kiara. The slightest stir from Trash Dad Rico Clark, and Aka would know.
“No need.”
Kiara and Yuzo Joel said simultaneously, then they looked at each other and turned their backs at the same time, hanging up their phones.
