Bab 189: Why Can't I Be Jealous?
"Darling, how about this one?"
Ren walked away from the display cabinets in front of him as he turned his attention to Tsubaki who was standing before a chiller. There were ice cream cakes in various colors and shapes stored in the chiller. Her finger was pointing at an ice cream cake in the shape of a football field. Three marzipan figurines of boys were placed on the surface together with a ball.
"The flavors are in chocolate, strawberry and cookies 'n cream?" Ren read the description of the cake. "I think this one is good. We could pick some donuts too for them."
"Okay!"
Tsubaki went to the round counter that was displaying trays of donuts on one side. Ren followed her from behind. She chose a dozen of donuts in different flavors. The worker brought her box to the payment counter. Another worker went to get the ice cream cake she had chosen.
"I hope Kouichi would like them," said Tsubaki, feeling a bit nervous.
Ren smiled fondly. He linked his index finger with her thumb, forming a physical connection with her. Tsubaki looked down at her hand when she felt her thumb being wrapped around by his finger. She smiled sweetly. She used her index finger to gently caressing his hands.
The ice cream cake was securely placed inside a specialized box. The cashier put both boxes in a big paper bag with the shop's logo printed on it. Ren swiped his card to complete the payment before he took the bag in one hand and Tsubaki's hand in another to exit the shop.
After Ren was done with the meeting, he brought Tsubaki for lunch at a restaurant before they stopped at one of the premium dessert shops in the city center. Tsubaki suggested buying an ice cream cake since she thought Kouichi would love to have cool desserts in this kind of weather.
Ren put the bag at the back and went to the driver's seat.
"I think I should tell Aunt Ume and Kouichi about my relationship with Hinata," Tsubaki said after Ren started driving the car. She was fiddling with her chiffon dress as countless possible outcomes popped inside her mind once she told them about the matter.
"You should," Ren readily agreed with her decision. "They deserve to know and I think Kouichi would be happy to know that he has a family from his mother's side."
"En!" Tsubaki giggled as she anticipated the moment. "He's so cute! I can't believe I have an adorable nephew like him. No wonder I liked him from the start."
"How could you let another man take your liking? I won't allow him to take the number one spot," Ren replied with a frown. "It should be my place."
Tsubaki laughed heartily as she heard his ridiculous sayings. She turned her head and looked at his side profile. "Dear, you're jealous over a little boy?"
"Uhuh," Ren didn't even bother to hide his childishness. Tsubaki could see his lips forming a small pout. "Not even our children could take my place. They could try if they wanted their Daddy to forsake them."
"You're even jealous over them? I can't believe you want to treat our children like that," Tsubaki couldn't stop herself from laughing.
They had been talking about having children now and then, making her heart fuzzy because she knew he was serious in having their own small family. She understood her husband. He would be a great father to them.
"Why can't I be jealous?" Ren refuted her claims. A faint smile appeared on his chiseled face. "After all, I help in bringing them to this world so they should know their place. If not because we're married, they wouldn't have their beautiful and kind Mommy so they should be thankful over that."
"Ha ha ha!"
Tsubaki covered her mouth as her laugh became louder. She looked at her smiling husband in disbelief. She should have known that he could become petty like this! He even wanted to possess her in front of their children?
Ren looked at his laughing wife with a lazy smile but there was a dangerous glint in his eyes. Tsubaki quickly shut her mouth once she saw that.
It was a warning for her! And she would suffer later.
Tsubaki immediately thought to pacify him. In order for her to get a peaceful sleep tonight, she had to!
"Hubby, my darling..." Tsubaki intentionally made her voice sounded coquettish as she leaned closer to her husband, she placed both of her hands on his arm. "You're still the number one for me so don't worry, okay? I swear our children won't take your place!"
"Do you think so?" Ren asked, one of his brows shot upwards.
"Yes! Yes! After all, you are the best among the best for me!" Tsubaki nodded her head repeatedly.
Seeing how hard she tried to pacify him, Ren shook his head helplessly as he laughed. It wasn't like he didn't know why did she suddenly act this way so he just decided to play along with her.
"It's good if you understand," Ren replied with a smirk. He stifled a laugh when he saw her frantic expression turned to a relief one.
"Okay! Okay! You're the best!"
Tsubaki sighed inwardly. She let go of his arm and sat properly against her seat. Her eyes secretly moved to peer at her laughing husband. He always looked charming whenever he smiled or laughed.
She should be safe, right?
Tsubaki quickly diverted her eyes to the world outside. She hummed softly as her fingertips of one hand met the others. Her head moved slightly from left to right as she was enjoying the peace.
Ren smiled when he saw her serene expression. He suddenly placed his palm over her lower abdomen. His light touch made Tsubaki startled slightly, she looked down to see him gently rubbing her tummy.
"You'd bear our precious ones here someday," Ren's calm voice echoed in space within the car. "We'll raise them together with our love so, whenever you think of your past, please remember that I'd never leave you alone. At the very least, I hope we could give our children a priceless childhood."
Tsubaki pursed her lips. His words were so comforting.
Both of them had a dull childhood. It was understandable if he too wanted to raise their children with proper care. Tsubaki was touched when she realized he had been proving himself time and again on how excellent he could be as a father as well as a wonderful husband to her.
Tsubaki lowered her hands and gently placed them on his hand that was still rubbing her tummy. Her eyes turned misty as a beautiful smile bloomed on her tiny face. She nodded, agreeing with him.
"En."
She couldn't wait to see their little ones. She wondered when would they come?
It would be a life changing experience once they blessed their lives.
