Capítulo 155: Really Married a Billionaire
* * *
Later that night,
Daniel continued to watch the TV news despite 70% of its content was about Veronica Chime's career downfall. Because of the earlier revelation, Starlight Media which was Veronica Chime's entertainment agency was quick to decide and gave up on the actress while filing a 25 million dollar lawsuit as compensation for the damage her reputation had done to the agency. They are now deliberately forcing Veronica to breach her contract however no matter how the situation had become so serious, Veronica remained silent. No Veronica Chime had come to the public to defend herself or to resolve the situation.
No response was released from either her or her manager, invoking more rage from the nation who had been shaken up by this shocking revelation. Meanwhile, other news featured the Mo Empire stating that after this event, it was expected that in the next few days, sales profit was expected to skyrocket and the value of the company will be doubled from 375 billion dollars net worth from last year's estimation.
Daniel listened more to the news and he then realized looking at his husband who was now busy checking emails on his Ipad and occasionally answer a business call, that he really married a billionaire. Until now, it was still quite unbelievable for Daniel. For unknown reasons, Mo Laotian or the whole Mo Family seemed like just a normal wealthy family, not more than 375 billion dollars wealthy.
From the TV screen to Mo Laotian, Daniel now focused his sights on his busy husband. He occasionally watched Luangmin play with his educational toy blocks but his eyes were actually on Laotian who was now looking more attractive in Daniel's eyes. Just looking at the Alpha focusing on his work truly looked sexier in his eyes he couldn't help but think he was so lucky to catch such a big fish from the large ocean; and to think this was all accidental in the beginning.
Daniel didn't realize Laotian finished until their eyes locked on each other and Laotian smiled at him gently from across the room. Daniel's heart quickly skipped a beat not knowing what to do after being caught staring. Laotian smiled at Daniel while putting his Ipad down and stood from the couch walking towards the bed.
"What is it?" Laotian asked, sitting at the edge of the bed. His palms soon landed on Daniel's protruding belly as he caressed it up and down.
"Nothing...Uhmm, are you finished with your work?"
"Hmmm, it's quite late. It's time for you to sleep," Laotian said knowing that the time was already almost 8 pm. Although it was actually early, he was trying to make Daniel rest earlier than he usually does because the doctor said he couldn't be stressed or lack sleep.
"Okay, are you going to sleep with me now then?" Daniel asked.
"Hmmm, but this little one needs to sleep first." Laotian nodded before looking at Luangmin who was actually just forcing himself to stay awake by convincing himself that he was enjoying his toys. Daniel looked at Luangmin's droopy and tired eyes and he giggled, finding them so cute. He brought his palms on the little kid's head causing Luangmin to gaze upon him.
"Want to sleep now?" Daniel asked, Luangmin rubbed his eyes and then nodded indicating that he was indeed sleepy. Daniel chuckled seeing this as he leaned down to give the little man a goodnight kiss on his plump cheeks. Since Daniel is now pregnant, he couldn't lull the two year old to sleep anymore so ever since his pregnancy had been known, Laotian was diligent enough to take over the task.
Daniel was worried in the beginning because Laotian had never taken care of Luangmin for a long time so suddenly when the Alpha said he was going to take care of their eldest son instead. Daniel was thrilled but at the same time anxious whether the Alpha will be okay or whether he would last a day or two. However, true to his words Laotian did properly take care of Luangmin making Daniel so relieved.
Of course, at first Laotian was not so successful because Luangmin is used to Daniel's touch and maybe his scent but now, the father and son had really gotten close for the last few weeks. They have bonded properly compared to when the Alpha was working and rarely at home during the crucial times. Daniel watches Laotian lift Luangmin in his arms and automatically the two year old settles his head on his father's neck knowing that it was time for him to sleep. Laotian gently pat his back while swaying his body a little. After 5 minutes, Luangmin was quick to fall into a deep sleep so Laotian soon placed him on his crib without a problem.
"He's been tired of playing with everybody all day," Daniel commented after Laotian came back, climbing into the bed right after packing Luangmin's toys into its container.
"Anyway Laotian, what did you and dad talk about earlier when you two went out? You looked upset when you came back, if you want to talk about it, I'm always here to listen." Daniel chatted, settling over the Alpha's embrace as soon as he lay unto the bed where Laotian gladly extended his arm for Daniel to lay on as well.
". . ." Hearing Daniel's question, Laotian was sigh remembering his conversation with George Sullen.
"Is it something I'm not allowed to know?" Daniel asked, disappointingly receiving a silent sigh from the Alpha at the mention of the topic.
"It's not that you're not allowed to know. It's more like, I don't want you to know. I don't want to hurt you again. Because I know, once I tell you you'll be hurt." Laotian revealed as he kissed Daniel's temples before squeezing the Omega into his embrace. Hearing his husband's response, Daniel suddenly got curious. 'Not want to hurt him? Again?' What could possibly hurt him now? Daniel thought.
"Now I'm curious. What is it about? Can you tell me?" Daniel probes curiously.
*sighs* "I was wondering if it's the right time to tell you. I'm worried about your emotional and physical health, the other day you were quick to jump to conclusions without hearing me out first. I don't want to see you cry again like that. You know I despise seeing you in pain. I only want smiles on your lips." Laotian explained almost like a whisper. Daniel thought about it and hummed okay. He was so touched by the Alpha's words.
"Okay, I'm really curious about this but I'll wait until you think I'm ready. If you think this would stress me out or cause me emotional pain then I'll wait for you Laotian. I trust your judgment. I also don't want to fall ill now that my health is finally improving." Daniel decided with a smile. Although he was quite curious, he was also afraid of what the Alpha said because it sounds like a serious matter.
"Hmmm, I'm sorry. I'll tell you one day but until then, I want you to be patient with me." Laotian agreed and was glad that Daniel decided to wait. For a moment he thought the Omega would be persistent, his heart and mind quickly prepared for a crying outburst. He was sure that after knowing his biological mother had caused him harm, Daniel would surely be emotionally traumatized again. And right now, Laotian couldn't afford that.
"But you know I'm still curious. You have to make me forget." Daniel grins mischievously and slips his palms inside the Alpha's clothes.
"Why have you been so naughty lately? Are you trying to test my patience?" Laotian asked. His voice is dangerously low. There was a little vibration on his chest, evidence that he was suppressing himself from jumping on Daniel.
*chuckles* "I'm not. All I want is to forget, so make me forget. Or else, I'll persistently ask you," Daniel threatened. As soon as Laotian slightly sat up to tower over him, Daniel wrapped his arms around the Alpha's neck pulling him into a playful kiss. Their lips would touch but soon separate as Daniel laughed, and then they would kiss again.
"You are such a tease..." Laotian growled as he fell into temptation.
* * *
The next day, Laotian and Daniel went through their regular routine. His physical condition seemed to be improving more and if it still continues to improve the next day, Daniel will be allowed to go home and do minimal movements. It doesn't mean that he's completely out of danger but compared to his condition last week, he can absolutely do normal things again.
"Laotian, are you sure you won't be going to work today?" Daniel asked again for the third time. The Alpha just finished his business call again and now he's proceeding to give him his daily massage after he was interrupted earlier when they finished their bath.
"No need. That's the last call for today, I told them not to disturb me for the next three days." Laotian informed and urged Daniel to lie comfortably since he was going to start putting on the cream on his belly. Daniel lay nodding, he understood that Laotian is the chairman of the Mo Empire and he could do whatever he wants but at this moment where it's a crucial point of the company because of the Veronica Chime scandal. Why is the Alpha choosing to rub cream on his belly instead of talking to his business partners, investors, clients, and the likes?
"Do you not like me being with you here?" Laotian asked seeing Daniel's slight pout.
"What?! There's no such thing! I love you here being with me and Minmin, just... I know that it's a sensitive time in your company right now." Daniel explained in a panic hearing a slight sadness on the Alpha's tone.
"No need to worry about the company, the acting CEO will do for now," Laotian assured, besides he knew that after the news yesterday those people who chose to betray and abandon the Mo Empire thinking it was a sinking ship were now trying their best to gain his favor again. He doesn't want to go to the company with people coming to meet him and feed him false flattery.
"Okay, if you say so..." Daniel replied. Laotian then focuses his attention on putting cream on Daniel when a sudden knock emanates. Since Laotian was about to finish, he made sure his job was properly done before he hummed satisfied and urged Daniel to cover his body quickly.
Laotian soon walked towards the door since it was locked at the time when he put cream on Daniel because it requires the Omega to stay on his underwear. When Laotian opened the door, one of the men who were guarding the door whispered something to the Alpha that caused him to frown.
"Sir, a man named Ronald Ronner was said to be on the way here," the man informed. Laotian frowned and stayed silent for a moment before he nodded to the man.
"Laotian, who was it?" Daniel called curiously when the Alpha came back.
"I don't know yet. I'll go and check for a moment." Laotian said then prepared to go out after Daniel nodded okay thinking maybe it was Laotian's acquaintance. He didn't expect that when the Alpha came back later, he would be with a man he had never met before and never knew of his existence.
"Minmin, come here to mommy..." Daniel called the little man already playing in his small spot on the floor that had a barricade so his toys would stay in one area.
"Okway," Hearing his mother's calls, Luangmin was quick to respond. He toddled towards Daniel and since the bed had a small ladder customized for the little man, he was able to climb into the bed and soon crawled towards Daniel.
"Is bwaby okway todway?" the little man asked, his little palms gently caressed Daniel's bulging stomach. Despite his young age, he does know that he'll become a big brother soon and he was quite happy and excited about it even though he didn't fully understand what it means to be a big brother.
"Hmmm, your baby siblings are strong and healthy like little Minmin," Daniel nodded happily, conversing with the little one.
