The General Who Hate Chapter 252: Whom Would You Save?

Chapter 252: Whom Would You Save?

Thea noticed how Jeru was in a good mood lately. It was as though he was the one with the symptoms of the first trister of pregnancy. He had mood swings. Sotis he was hot, and sotis he was cold.

She also received a call from Jeru’s assistant who inquired about her preferred color and design for the room she would share with Jeru. She was happy to know that Jeru had put effort into making sure that the new bedroom was according to her liking.

However, she was a bit nervous about eting her father-in-law soon. She did not buy anything special as gifts at all. According to Chin, in all of his interviews, whenever he was asked about what kind of present he would like to receive from others, Senior Liu always maintained the principle of ’It’s the thought that counts.’ He preferred to receive simple gifts as long as it ca from the giver’s heart.

For instance, he would appreciate to eat a good al that soone specially cooked for him instead of receiving an expensive yet thoughtless gifts. He already had everything he needed, so why would he need, for example, another pricey wristwatch?

He always answered this kind of interview question lightheartedly, but Jeru confird that his dad indeed admired those with excellent cooking skills. Thea saw this as a good opportunity for her to please her father-in-law because if there was one thing that she could be proud of, it was her natural-born cooking skill, as Auntie Sheila had always told her. On top of that, she learned a lot of great recipes from her.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a ssage notification from her phone. She smiled to see it was Jeru.

[I have instructed them to transform the other room into a nursery. Tell

when you’re free, so we can go and buy baby things together.]

She let out a soft laugh. ’Already? But we don’t even know the gender of our baby yet...’ she thought. But the ssage made her excited, and she was feeling that familiar tingling sensation in her heart again. It made her smile from ear to ear.

She contemplated whether to tease him because it seed like he was in a hurry to shop for so stuff for their baby. But in the end, she only sent him her schedule.

"Oh, then I should already start making a baby checklist..." she bead with a broad smile plastered on her face. She looked around and saw her buddy Gavin and decided to pester him about so baby things for her checklist.

"Huh? How would I know? I’m a bachelor, Thea, and I don’t have a secret baby stashed away sowhere. You should ask one of the married won here..." Gavin grumbled.

Thea laughed and said, "But you’re the only one who knows my secret... By the way, how co you and Brione haven’t talked yet?"

Thea also knew Gavin’s secret, and just like him to her, she had also beco his counsel lately.

"Listen, I know a better idea for you, and I’m sure it will help you with your problem right now," Thea offered, with a teasing smile. Gavin’s eyes widened and answered, "Alright, I’ll ask my aunt about so baby stuff for your checklist. I’ll send it to you later."

Thea laughed while Gavin sighed and rolled his eyes, "Why are won so complicated and ddleso?"

Torin felt a bit awkward because even though Sheila said she was going to stay at Zach’s place, but she had been staying in his apartnt most of her waking ti. He was not complaining at all because Sheila pampered him a lot. However, Torin knew that she was doing this on purpose to prevent Lyra and him from being left alone together.

"Mom, you look a bit sleepy... Why don’t you go rest in the room first?" Lyra suggested when she noticed the sluggish expression on her mom’s face while she was watching a TV-series.

They had just finished lunch at Torin’s place, and Sheila decided to watch her soap over there instead. Her reason was simple; So that she could tend to all of Torin’s needs efficiently.

Torin signaled Lyra not to continue, as he interrupted and said, "It’s okay, mom, you can sleep on the couch. It’s big enough, or I can carry you to the room later."

Sheila sighed and remained silent, but she kept her eyes wide open to focus on the television. She was actually enjoying the frustrated looks on the couple’s faces.

She tried her best to suppress her laughter, ’Let’s see how long these too can put up with my bullying.’

She was a light sleeper, so the slightest movent could wake her up with ease. Last night, she had felt Lyra move, and as soon as she had heard the clicking of the door, she had imdiately instructed, "Get back in here..."

Lyra didn’t have any excuse since the restroom was inside the room, and they had bottled water in the room. She couldn’t say she was hungry either because Sheila knew how attentive her daughter was when it cos to her diet to maintain a pretty figure.

Sheila had almost burst out laughing when she had felt Lyra go back inside the comforter and hug her instead.

She did not plan to bully them long. Maybe just a few more days.

"Torin, let

ask you sothing..." Sheila murmured in a sleepy voice.

"Yes, mom?" Torin answered, as politely as possible. He enjoyed calling Sheila ’Mom’ very much. So his smile never faded whenever he called her by that na.

"If you ever co across a situation where both Zach and Lyra are in danger, and you could only save one. Whom would you save?" Sheila probed all of a sudden.

"What is this, mom? Are you testing Torin or what?" Lyra was confused by the sudden question.

"Hmm, not really but I still want to know what he would do, just in case," Sheila said while yawning.

"Sorry, mom, but I would save Lyra first," Torin asserted.

"Hmm, I guess most people would do the sa for their lover. I should ask Zach whom he would save, Keira or Lyra," Sheila mumbled as she got up.

"Alright, you two, I’m going to take a nap for a bit. Don’t you dare do anything naughty," Sheila whispered, to which Torin and Lyra’s ears perked up.
