Chapitre 69: The Little Things Matter
Everyone was stunned when Nyo shouted that he knew Alex. Zunnie she had anticipated that Nyo would be shy towards Alex but she looked relieved at his reaction. She had no idea how she would introduce her husband to her little darling yet after hearing him she felt relaxed.
"Are you sure you know him?" She asked still a little baffled.
"Uhm, I've seen him in the art magazines my dad reads. My dad says, 'Alexander Zi is a genius when it comes to art'. My dad usually does paintings for the company he owns, Arch.deZigns." Nyo replied proudly.
They had not recovered when Nyo said he knew Alex but laughed when he tried to imitate his father's tone. He continued rambling on about Alex as if he were a God, while the room fell silent once again as they listened in awe.
'How could he know so much about this business mogul and talented architect.' Zunnie wondered, impressed that her Nyo had been well educated in that area.
Alex was the first one to speak.
"You're a very well-informed little boy. What's your name?"
"I'm Nyo and I'm almost eleven so I am not a little boy anymore. Zunnie sis is he coming to lunch with us? Wait till I tell my dad." Nyo said, excitement illuminating in his eyes.
"Nice to meet you Nyo, I'm Alexander Zi. Since you're a friend of Eyan and Zunnie you can call me Alex." Alex said as he extended his large hand to shake Nyo's chubby hand.
Nyo shook the large hand in front of him and smiled gleefully. Eyan and Zunnie could tell he was fond of Alex, after witnessing how ecstatic he behaved.
"Nice to meet you, A-Alex," Nyo replied and giggled.
"Nyo, Alex shall we go, Eyan has things to do," Zunnie said, noticing that Eyan had been looking down at his watch.
They agreed and said goodbye to Eyan then headed to lunch.
On the way to the restaurant, Nyo and Alex chatted about art and school. Zunnie quietly eavesdropped on their conversation. She was happy once again as she peeked at them through the rearview mirror.
Seeing how comfortably Nyo and Alex were interacting, the thought of Alex being a great dad to their children resurfaced. The urge to bare his children grew within her. She knew Alex had been patiently waiting on her to say she was ready. But how long was she going to make him wait? Every time she thought about it, she felt guilty.
Once again Zunnie pushed the thought away and continued listening to the two gentlemen chat.
"Do you know that Zunnie sis is single? My mom says she needs to get married before it's too late. Zunnie sis is very pretty but my mom thinks she's wasting her beauty. Are you single Alex? Maybe you can marry Zunnie sis so my mom won't worry." Zunnie heard Nyo whispering to Alex.
"Oh really, so if I'm single and I want to marry her, is that okay with you?"
"Uhm, but you must not make her cry. My dad told me that a man must never make a woman cry."
She heard Alex chuckled at Nyo's remarks. Nyo was very comfortable speaking with Alex. Zunnie couldn't help smiling.
"Okay, I promise to not make her cry," said Alex and pinched Nyo's cheek.
The drive to lunch was a long one since they decided to eat at the Chinese restaurant next to the mall. They immediately ate lunch and went shopping after.
Zunnie bought Nyo all the things he would be needing to stay warm during the fall and a few more clothes for the surprise trip for his birthday.
Alex had accompanied them the entire afternoon which made her happy. She had assumed that he would return to work after lunch, but he insisted on tagging along.
Watching him and Nyo walk down the mall's hallways she had the desire to buy him a gift for Christmas since it was less than two weeks away.
She left Nyo with Alex and made her way to a men's jewelry store. She browsed through a few catalogs and decided she would buy him a ring with a matching watch.
Zunnie blushed as if she were a high school girl, baking chocolates for her crush on Valentine's Day, while she watched the attendant wrapping the leather boxes. Deep down she hoped Alex would like it.
Little did she know that Alex was also preparing his own Christmas gift.
