Chapter 976 - Favorite Eyes
Xiu was still shocked by his trembling body but she still lifted her hands to rub his back soothingly. Up and down, the gentle motion of her hand put Darren's mind and heart to rest. Feeling her warm body he was rest ?ssured but she still pulled away to look at her up and down to confirm that she wasn't hurt anywhere.
"You didn't get hurt, right?" he questioned anxiously.
Xiu frowned at his question and suddenly realized what was happening here. The call was cut unexpectedly and he wasn't able to reach her. And that's what led to his current state.
Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry in this situation.
"Baobei, I am absolutely fine," she told him as she rubbed the side of his face with her hand to reassure him. "My phone fell down and broke down. It's nothing serious. I'm not hurt." She conveniently chose not to tell him that her shoulder was still aching a bit. She knew if she ntioned it, this situation would get worse. "What did you cook up in your head?"
"But you said you're at the hospital," he said in a distressed voice. "How could I not worry when you said that? My mind just ended up thinking of the worst scenario. I couldn't help it."
Xiu chuckled at his reaction, "There are other reasons for coming to the hospital."
"Like what?"
"Like Mama gave birth to your little brother."
Darren was quiet for a mont before he asked foolishly, "But wasn't the delivery date set to tomorrow?"
Xiu knocked on his head, "Silly, did my delivery date was the sa as the one doctor predicted?"
Darren shook his head and finally understood how much of an idiot he looked when he asked that question. But he wasn't ashad at all. He couldn't help it.
As if struck by light, Xiu's eyes suddenly widened, "Did you just get off that car?" Darren didn't take her words seriously as he nodded in a daze. "And you're the one driving it?" Darren again nodded and suddenly his ear was pinched by his wife who looked at him with those scary eyes that always made him submit before her.
Fuck! It seed he was in trouble!
"You bloody son of a bachelor!" Xiu swore in her style as she glared at him. "I thought so idiot drunk was driving so rashly but it turned out, it was my own husband. Great! What were you trying to do? Cause an accident?"
Darren realized what he had done wrong and his body stiffened. He actually didn't notice how he drove over here since all his mind was on Xiu instead. But now that recalled it, it seed that he really went overboard with the speed.
"Sweets, I'm a professional," he said in a weak voice.
"How many years had it been for you?" she roared. "Do you still think you're omnipotent?"
Darren hugged her waist and said, "Sweets, think of it this way, I finally got over my fear. And it's all because I was so worried about you that nothing else mattered. Your love made conquer my fears."
"These dialogues aren't gonna work!" she shot back. She was seriously angry and actually felt a lingering fear in her heart when she rembered the speed of the car. And that made her pull Darren's ear even more fiercely. But he didn't complain and let her be.
He knew he was in the wrong this ti. He was worried about her but that was no excuse since he ended up making her worry about him instead. What a cycle of worries!
"I won't do it again," he said in a small voice acting pitifully.
Xiu snorted at him, "Park that car properly and co to see your little brother. I'm not gonna waste my ti on you here anymore!"
Darren followed her words and parked the car properly before he followed her in. When he ca inside, Ashley ca to hold his arm and dragged him over, "Brother, co here and look! Isn't our little brother cute?"
Darren's expressions softened when he looked at the small baby. He couldn't help teasing his little brother who was so small that he couldn't even fight against his elder brother's teasing. Suddenly noticing the atmosphere between Darren and Xiu, Ashley slipped close to Darren and asked, "Bro, did you do sothing wrong?"
"It seems so," he sounded helpless.
Ashley patted his shoulder, "If you're wrong, better apologize on ti."
"Are you on my side or your sister-in-law's?"
"Yours," answered Ashley. "And it's because I know you can't stay without her that I'm telling you to apologize for your own sake."
"I was going to anyway," said Darren. Thinking of sothing, he picked up his little brother and brought it to Xiu's side saying, "Sweets, look at my little brother. Doesn't he look adorable? Just like how our Rowan was."
Xiu moved her eyes to the little baby and her eyes also softened instantly. Darren found the opening he needed and pressed, "Sweets, why isn't he opening his eyes? I want to see what is his eyes color. Do you think he'll inherit Mama's grey eyes like ?"
"The possibility isn't that high to inherit it from the maternal side," said Xiu.
"Well, didn't I also inherit it from my maternal side?"
Xiu nodded her head, "Then it's also possible for him."
"If he really does, then we'll have three people with grey eyes in our family," said Darren. Xiu's expressions turned gentle when she thought of it. "Sweets, whose grey eyes do you like the most?"
"Little tiger's," answered Xiu without any change in her expression but it turned Darren's face black!
This little tiger was really his nesis! How co his own son was constantly coming between him and his wife? Did it make any sense?
Darren pouted at her, "Sweets, you've changed. I'm no longer your favorite."
Xiu narrowed her eyes at him, "Who told you to act recklessly? So, I kicked you out of my favorite's list."
"Sweets, don't do that," pleaded Darren. "I'm sorry for worrying you. I should have been rational. I know but when it cos to you, I'm also quite helpless before my heart."
Xiu also understood his aning and turned to face him. Her expressions weren't as hard as before. She looked rather distressed now, "I know that as well. But I also worry about you. What am I supposed to do? You gave a whole world. I can't lose you."
Darren kissed the top of her head, "I'm not going anywhere. I plan on annoying you till you get all old and wrinkly."
Xiu hit his ?h?st while he laughed at her reaction. On the side, Ashley also chuckled to herself when she saw them interacting in this way.. It was sweet torture to see these two lovebirds but she happily put herself through it every single ti.
