Chapter 288: Bullying
Days passed by, and the couple had their usual routines, where Zach would drop his wife off at work and pick her up without fail. Zach made sure that he would tend to Keira’s every need. He would rush to her office just to bring her fruits, shakes, or any other foods to satisfy his wife’s cravings.
"Wow. How come both of you, pregnant women, are getting more and more beautiful with each passing day? You two are glowing! Oh, here are your drinks, miladies..." Gavin praised. He had become their errand boy lately.
"Zach hasn’t mentioned anything to you about his birthday, has he?" Thea asked. Zach’s birthday would be in two days, and Keira had been preparing carefully to surprise him.
Keira shook her head. "That’s good... Pretend that you forgot his birthday, then you will surprise him with a blast," said Gavin. That was indeed the plan. She even asked her dad to be in this together with her, so Zach wouldn’t suspect anything.
The whole surprise event was Gavin’s idea. He based it on the story of how she and Zach first met and everything that ensued after that.
Thea smiled and added, "Zach never celebrated his birthday before because he was always too focused on work and ways to provide for his family. After being a soldier, he was always away on duty during his birthday, so I’m sure he will be touched this time."
Keira hoped so too... Her husband deserved everything that was good in life and she really wanted to make his first birthday celebration with her memorable.
Gavin was taking up a mini role of pampering the two pregnant women at work. "It’s a practice for you, so later when you get married, and your wife is pregnant, you will know what to do, and this all will be a piece of cake for you," Keira encouraged him, seeing Gavin frown upon her request to buy her and Thea some ice cream.
"I’m glad I’m resigning. I can’t take two pregnant women bullying me anymore," Gavin grumbled, to which both Keira and Thea laughed.
