Chapter 248 - Rich Godmother
Keira excitedly looked at the things that she ordered. All of them were baby products for Francesca and Kaleona. She took the cutter and looked at Johanna who was staring at her.
"I have lots of toys for Kaleona and Francesca. Although I know that they have everything, this Godmother won't even let them grow up without these amazing techs." She said excitedly.
"I think you should stop your contraceptive and just go on with having a baby," Johanna said bluntly without even care of what she would say.
"Hmm, maybe after the wedding. I also can't wait for my wedding and to have a baby." She told her. "But those babies go first because my future baby will be their playmates." She grinned. "Don't be jelly, Jo. I will also spoil your baby."
"I'm not jealous at all." She shrugged.
"Hmm, okay." She waved off. "Anyway," She took out the toy products for baby Kaleona and her heart melted at how adorable it was. She then opened the box for the baby girl and pouted at the adorable lavender color dress. It's so small and the insides are soft. "Isn't this adorable?" She lifted it in front of Johanna who reached it and nodded.
"Indeed."
Keira squirmed in excitement.
"I can't wait for you to give birth."
"Why are you ecstatic?" She stepped forward and scooped her face. "What did your husband promise you this time?" Johanna knew how spoiled she was. But she wasn't born to be a spoiled brat who was obsessed with herself as Wendy does.
"Secret." Keira giggled and hugged Johanna. "Anyway, we will repack this since I am done with the paperwork for this day."
Johanna helped her with it and put it on pretty boxes with ribbons. Since it's been three months, Francesca's fourth-month-old will be tomorrow while Kaleona will be next week. She's excited because she purchased these things from abroad a month ago.
"Why are there so many?" Johanna asked. "I am utterly confused on why?"
"Well, these are Francesca's OOTD every weekend. It's also the same with Kaleona and of course, with new toys." Keira smiled. "Isn't it amazing? I also showed it to Arianna and Andromeda so they wouldn't buy the same thing."
"Hmm, okay. Let's pack this up."
Keira looked at Johanna's round stomach. It grows so much after months. It's six months currently and so in another three months. She will give birth soon. But she could see that although Connor was excited for their baby to come, he was still worried about Johanna's plans.
"Jo, you can stop working for a while, you know."
"But who would take care of you?" Johanna asked.
"Mom sent someone. She said that she will do her duties until you are ready. That is also the same for Connor. He can work from home too." She smiled at her. "You should marry him."
"I'm not ready. We've been engaged for months but I'm not ready for marriage." Johanna said softly. "I don't want to stop working."
"Jo," Keira called again. "This is the month that you should be staying home. I also spoke to Connor and he was only waiting for your decision."
Johanna hesitated. Because she knew that after she gave birth, she wouldn't be with Keira or her baby always. Connor knocked on the door and then it opened.
"President, your mother is here." He opened it wide and Keira smiled big at her mother.
"Mom! You are here now?"
"Yeah, I won't take long. I just want to see Jo and you, of course." She approached Johanna and kissed her cheeks then she did the same to Keira as she sat beside Johanna and Keira sat on her mother's side. "So, how are you darling?" Karmina asked Johanna.
"I'm fine, mom." She said and caressed her stomach.
"And how about the gender?"
"Keira has it," Johanna said. "She doesn't want me to know or Connor. She said that she wanted a baby gender reveal."
"Oh, that's good. I might need to know that." Karmina looked at her daughter. "Do we have a venue?" She asked.
"I think something quiet and we can also have fireworks."
"Hmm," Karmina thought for a while. "I will set up the venue and fireworks. How about that?" She asked. "Tell me, love what you want. Okay?" She looked at both of her daughters.
"I will let you and Keira do whatever you want. I don't want to get involved." Johanna said that made the mother and daughter giggled at each other.
"By the way, mom. Where did you go with dad?" Keira asked, which also made Johanna puzzled.
"I will tell you both, later on. I am currently still working on some business."
"You and dad are operating a new business?"
"It's an old business." Karmina caressed her hair. "So, if you want it you can have it. That goes for you too, Jo."
"Nope. I'm fine. My future husband was rich enough."
"Girls, you are the only ones that I could rely on in this business. Your brother doesn't want any of it besides an allowance."
The girls giggled and shortly, Harvey came with a frown.
"I heard that. If you have a new business. You should increase my allowance, Keira. I will have a baby soon."
"Yeah, fine. But it's for the baby."
"I don't mind." He shrugged. His business was doing well.
That's why he doesn't need to operate their family business. He doesn't want to just sit and read documents or negotiate although he has those skills. He's more on the field. He wanted to kill people in exchange for money. That's what he grew up to after he became a lab rat. But now, they are only operating a group of assassins for his family.
"Let's talk later, my dear," Karmina told him. He didn't guess anything as he nodded and shrugged.
"By the way, I also want the same party for my baby."
"Yes, of course. I won't let you say no." Keira grinned at him.
"It's better to be grand." He grinned and hugged his mother's neck and kissed her temple. "I missed your cooking, mom. Although my wife cooked so well, I don't want her to touch a knife or other heavy things."
"Don't worry. I will cook dinner in your house later." She tapped his cheeks.
"Thank you, mom." He whispered.
Keira grinned and already had thought of a new way for Harvey's party.
"Mom, look at the expression." Johanna pointed to Keira. "She just looks like you when you were planning for something grand."
"Why not?" Karmina caressed her round tummy. "Darling, you need to take a break from work. Okay?"
Johanna stared at her mother but then if Karmina requested it, she knew that she couldn't say no. She would tell it to her every day and would give her a lot of reasons for her to stop working.
"That's what I've been telling her."
"And who would you put in here?" Johanna asked.
"I already settled it. Keira's assistant and her secretary. If they made a single mistake, I will remove them immediately."
"Alright, I need to turn it over to them. Two days." She said,
"Okay," Karmina looked at Connor as she nodded her head. "Stay with her more Connor."
"Yes, ma'am."
Keira and her guards put the boxes in her van. She rode with Johanna and Connor to pick up her husband. Shortly, her husband came out the main door and she opened the van and waved at him. He smiled as he hopped in and sat beside her. He hugged her and kissed her lips.
"Baby, someone bullied me," Alessandro said while pouting.
"Who?"
"Well, remember the foreigner who was buying one of the real-estate that I was planning to use for a new location." He pouted at her like a child. "He spoke in Arabic and I completely understood his language. He even spoke in Mandarin to fancy himself although he was neither an Arabic or Chinese."
"That little bastard. What's his name? I'm going to bald him." She growled in anger. He nodded his head and rubbed himself to her like a little cat.
Connor and Johanna looked at each other, like saying from each other's eyes; 'here they go again, acting like teenagers'. They were tired of seeing those two acting like that although they were full adults. They were having those sweet talks and a threat to others but they never realized that they sound annoying. So, Connor moved closer to her and held her round stomach. He then reached the pillows as he put those next to her side and he kissed her lips.
"If you are annoyed, you don't have to listen to those two." He whispered and snuggled to her chest. "Your boobs get bigger." He grinned. "I love it."
"Shut up." She grumbled. He would always tease it and have to suck it almost every night.
"I love you." He whispered and rubbed her round tummy. "This dress suits you too. I think you are becoming more fashionable every day.." He kissed her neck and sighed in happiness.
