BXBX NOVEL Chapter 449 - 1+1 =
Joy bubbled up Leena\'s face like she was ready to dance, but considering she was pregnant, she dropped the idea not to hurt her baby. As slow as a snail, holding the walls for support, she stepped out of the bathroom to her place and gingerly sat on the chair.
\'\'Our baby is coming soon!\'\' She kicked her legs in the air in happiness as the truth sank in.
\'\'When did this happen? Was it in the wood house?\'\' She muttered in disbelief. Only the first three to four times he entered with protection. Later, Leena felt a lack of intimacy, the energy exchange between Devin and her became obscure, which she didnot like. She told Devin she would take pills, but he didnot allow her to use them once. In turn, until she was ready, he would pull out at the peak time. \'\'It seems he couldn\'t control out of happiness on that day—my poor babylicious.\'\'
\'\'Soon, I will have congratulations in the order from my friends and family. How much I love them to hear.\'\' She googled about the pregnancy until late afternoon and closed the tabs when she gathered enough information.. She wanted to book an appointment with a gynecologist, but being a celebrity comes with a price. She doesn\'t want to announce it to the public anytime now. So, she called her mother to check her tomorrow\'s schedule.
After ending the call with her mother, Leena called up Devin. An irritation sprawled across her face when he didnot lift her call in the first ring.
In the third ring, she heard. \'\'Hey, Sweetheart.\'\' And those two sugary words from his sweet voice instantly dissolved her rage into a smile.
\'\'Did I disturb your work?\'\' She questioned in such a way that Devin should feel guilty.
\'\'Not at all.\'\' Replied Devin without faltering. Why did she think in that way? He will ditch his work if her call is on the way. \'\'Don\'t you know how much I love to talk with you.\'\'
Leena hummed in satisfaction, wearing a silly smile on her face. \'\'I have got a huge secret to tell you.\'\'
\'\'I am listening.\'\'
\'You are going to become a father.\' The words were at the tip of her tongue, but Leena smacked her lips. Ordinary is not her style. Create suspense, and make him go mad, and then finally, the revelation. \'\'Guess what it could be? Use your brain properly, and answer.\'\'
He knows the kind of secrets she holds. It\'s as silly as the cartoons. \'\'Did Dora turn six years finally?\'\'
Leena pressed her lips together. She wanted to pull his hair and smack his head. Can\'t he make some other guess? \'\'Wrong guess. It\'s something between you and me.\'\' She hinted.
\'\'Between you and me?\'\' He paused. \'\'Did you find out how your breath pause when I put my_\'\'
\'\'Devin!\'\' She yelled at him. The embarrassing stories of her, and he never forgets. \'\'I am not gonna tell you any secret. Find by yourself. By the way, I wanted to ask you one more question. When are you planning to hold the wedding? Or perhaps you thought of skipping it? I guess that\'s what you are planning so that you don\'t need to spend the money. I have never seen a miser like you.\'\' Leena let out her frustration in one breath. If it\'s her pregnancy hormones bringing the worst in her, and by chance, they would stay with her for the whole nine months, then she could imagine Devin\'s future.
Devin: \'\' \'\'
Wasn\'t she who suggested that they postpone the wedding for one year? Before Devin replied, Leena started once more.
\'\'I want our wedding to happen in another two months. Not a simple one. A grand wedding. I don\'t know what you do, how you do, but I am not compromising with any of your excuses this time.\'\' She immediately looked at her stomach. Oh no. Two months is too much. By that time, I may not be able to bend my body. How can I wear gorgeous wedding dresses? \'\'Cancel two months. Make it one month. I am hanging up. Bye.\'\' She hung up.
\'\'Look at her behavior. Hanging up on my face.\'\'
Just then, Harley came to remind him of lunch with our investors. \'\'Aren\'t you leaving?\'\'
\'\'Yeah.\'\' He gave a lazy nod and rose to stand. Before leaving, he said. \'\'Can you find a wedding event planner? The best one at any cost.\'\'
\'\'What! Are you planning to hold a wedding?\'\' Harley exclaimed in wonder.
\'\'Yes.\'\' Order from the she-devil. He will have to face hell\'s wrath if it doesn\'t happen in a month.
\'\'Leave that to me, bro. Mom and I will plan. Leena would look stunning in a wedding dress.\'\' Before leaving, Harley reminded him of the lunch.
\'\'The wedding planner will freak out if I give a deadline of one month.\'\' Shaking his head, he was off.
....
As soon as Leena reached home, she ate a light dinner and told Aunt Jalapeno to call her for dinner two hours later. Obviously, she has to eat for two people.
She picked cardboard from Devin\'s office room to make something creative. His birthday is approaching in a month. It would be a hell surprise, but holding the suspense for a month from Devin is unpossible. With her behavior, in a day or so, he would find out. \'\'Internet spoiled the generation.\'\'
\'\'How about I reveal with the help of Carrot.\'\' Thinking hard for a while, she penned down on the cardboard. [1+1 =?]
\'\'When he comes home, I will show him the cardboard and ask him what is 1+1. Obviously, he will say two and give me a look of \'Not only trigonometry, but you proved to be poor in addition as well.\'\' She paused for a second before continuing. \'\'According to Leena\'s theory, mathematics is not always correct. Because you didnot withdraw at the right time, one plus one has become three. Perfect! As usual, the cutest confession ever.\'\'
\'\'Leena! Come to the living room. Fast.\'\' Her happy moments were interrupted when she heard Nick\'s scream. Until she went down, he kept yelling her name.
\'\'What?\'\'
\'\'Look for yourself.\'\' Nick passed his mobile.
At the same time, Carrot barked, wheeling around Leena. \'\'You had three spoons of peanut butter, Carrot. No food until dinner.\'\' She said before shifting her attention to the message. [Hey, hi. Do you remember me? We met in Russia. We played a card game for an hour]
\'\'Is it Winter\'s num..\'\' Leena trailed off her thoughts when Carrot barked again, pulling her dress. \'\'Is this your way of throwing tantrums. Still, no food.\'\'
\'\'I got a text from this number in the morning.\'\' Nick nervously said. \'\'This is my old number, so I didnot check it in the morning.\'\' Nick tensely added. \'\'What do you think? I_I am scared to..\'\'
Carrot barks turned louder. She rushed to the door and knocked with her tiny paws. She then looked at Leena and Nick. Her face was devoid of anxiety.
\'\'Is something wrong, baby?\'\' Leena looked at Nick. \'\'She never acted this strange.\'\'
\'\'Let me go and check the cameras_\'\' Before Nick concluded, the lights turned off the entire home. The emergency bell in the house buzzed, indicating the danger.
