"Mom, Where is Ash?" Ira finally remembered that Ash her brother also lived in the same house .
"That brat! I don't know where and when he comes and goes . " Su Shan exclaimed with a sigh .
"Hey, I was sneezing a while back . It turned out my sister, and my dear mom was missing me . Hehe . " Ash said with a playful smile .
"Say the name of the devil and the devil appears . " Lu Han muttered .
"Did you read the book I gave you?" Ira asked Ash .
"Ah! Not yet . . . I will read it tonight . " Ash replied unnerved bu her stern questioning gaze .
"What book?" Dad asked .
"Business management . I am teaching him Management, finance, and marketing . " Ira replied . Then with a frown looking at Ash, she said: "You better complete it before entering the office on Monday . "
"Okay, Boss!" Ash exclaimed .
Dad was pleasantly surprised hearing that Ira was teaching Ash, while more shocked that Ash was peacefully learning from her . He was proud of both of them and their bond .
She messaged Viv 'Is your meeting over? What time do you reach the Lu Mansion?"
Beep, the reply came in a few minutes: "In 15 min . On the way hon . I have Good news . "
Ira stood at the window when it was time she ran downstairs and waited .
When the sound of a car coming in was heard, She opened the door with joy and saw Viv coming out of the car . She dashed to him . "What is the good news?"
Kissing her on the cheek, he said "Slow down . . . Tell you later!" and walked right in .
Ira knew that way he had gone for the meeting it was quite an important one . From his message, she figured it was related to her . 'Is there any progress on Jain group revenge plan?' she thought .
Taking his jacket in her hands, she smiled and asked: "Did you have lunch?"
"Sister, the sun has set, the sky is dark! Your husband must have had lunch outside" Pointing to a window a third wheel appeared . Ash smirked proudly .
"Yes, I did!"Viv smiled .
"You Go read the book . " ira reprimanded Ash .
"Okay, Boss!"He walked back to his room .
Watching Ira who was whining about Viv leaving her alone on their wedding anniversary, now sticking to him like an obedient wife, Su Shan smiled . 'Like Father Like daughter . '
The doorbell rang again . It was Tara . "Mom, You are here . " Ira greeted her . She called her; celebrating their wedding anniversary with a family dinner .
Looking at the table full of dishes that she loves to eat, with both of her Mom's on her side, who kept on serving her, she felt warm .
Spring rolls, Fish Soup, Prawns Dumpling . . . . . and Peking Duck!
Mom sliced the Duck perfectly in front of everyone . Thin slices with tender meat and Crispy Skin .
Tasting it, she said: "Mom, You make the best dishes they can't even make at the 5-star restaurant . "
"Your mouth is really sweet today . " Su Shan's voice softened .
"No, Its true, you can beat a well-known Chef anytime . " Ira said planting the idea of being a chef in her mom's mind .
Just in a few moments after it was served, the duck vanished from the table quickly . Ira moved her chopsticks only to find the platter empty .
She watched Ash having a pile in his Bowl . Sensing her gaze, Ash stuffed everything in his mouth at once like a hungry wolf .
Her eyes fell on Viv's plate . Viv was not eating his piece on his plate .
"You are not eating it? It's delicious!" Ira stared straight at the last remaining piece of duck .
"Eat" Viv directly placed it in her bowl . He could discern that she has not eaten her full of meat as he took delight in watching her savoring it . He noted her love for the duck in his mind .
She smiled happily stuffing it in her mouth and relishing its taste .
Returning back home, Ira got in the passenger seat of the car, letting Viv drive it .
Viv leaned over and tied the seat belt for her . His face was so close to her, her heartbeat began to accelerate, she left a big red kiss mark on his cheek and laughed .
Viv saw the mark in the rear mirror but didn't try to erase it . Ira leaned over with her slender fingertips on his face to wipe the mark, however, changed her mind midway, saying "Now that I have marked you . You are mine for eternity . "
"Yes, Your Majesty . " He drove back with the mark painting his cheek . Thankfully night was dark with no one to notice his face .
Ira chucked .
"Why are you laughing now?" Viv asked .
"Nothing . " she smiled smugly .
Ira actually remembered Tara's words: "Pregnancy is 9 months of cheat days . You get to be moody, lazy and fat . "
