Chapter 137 – Shocking Surprise
Chapter 137 - Shocking Surprise
...
<POV: Nihara>
It's strange. I wonder what brought such a change, but something was different for sure.
Back when Miss Carene had just arrived, she had been in a very good mood. However, when I returned from the Bathroom, there was a weird air between Mother and Miss Carene.
I thought that maybe I was overthinking stuff before, but from Miss Carene's stiff behavior and actions, it seemed like something happened behind my back.
As I pondered while thinking so, I dialed Miss Carene's phone number to ask her about it, but the signal was out of reach.
Left with no other choice, I walked back inside the Mansion and headed toward Mother's room.
As I approached the place, I could hear some faint voices from outside.
"But, Madam, should we stay there twenty-four-seven just for that? I mean..."
"I want a full report. Keep on monitoring... And don't disappoint me."
"""Yes!"""
A few of Mother's helpers from the Company walked out of the room and left after politely greeting me.
As I felt slightly unnerved and confused about the whole thing, I pushed the door to the room and glanced at the serious-looking lady, who happened to be my Mother, and asked,
"Mother, what happened?? You don't look so good anymore. Is it something from the Company again?"
Mom looked surprised upon hearing me, as she hid her phone behind her back and smiled at me gently as she replied,
"No, no. It was just something private. It isn't a big deal though. They would all be back very soon. Besides that, I haven't heard from you about your day today~. Come, come. Sit here and tell me about it."
Seeing Mother behaving as usual, I decided to let the matter go for now and to ask Miss Carene about it later.
Hopefully, I am just overthinking here...

<POV: Carene>
I felt very stuffy inside my chest since I left Nihara's place.
Honestly, I hadn't imagined in my wildest dreams that I would be treated as such at my friend's house like that.
Then again, that's life for you, right? It just won't be all fun and roses.
Better to just let bad things roll away, right?
Besides~~... Celesta is finally my girlfriend now!! It's official, darn it~!
Hmmm, it makes me wonder what sort of couple activities should we start doing..?
I mean, I am already living at her place, so introducing myself to her family and coming out with our relationship is totally meaningless, since they all think that we two were a couple from the start anyway.
Aaah, maybe we will find our own pace soon. We are together anyway, and there's no way anything would go wrong now, right?
I was having such bubbly thoughts and didn't realize that I had gotten one stop early from the Bus.
It's half an hour from here till home... better walk there than wasting anymore money.
With my mood turning for the better, the whole world began to look beautiful and even the birds flying in the sky started to look interesting. How weird, right?
"Ehh? Carene?? Is... that you?
Hmm? Did someone call me?
As I turned around to look, I found a familiar-looking brown-haired beauty smiling at me with eyes full of surprise.
"Daisy? Oh my... it's been some time since then. How have you and Branda been? And is little Katey doing okay?"
Daisy smiled happily at me as she replied,
"Yeah, we are all good. Would you like to visit our home? Katey would be very glad to see you again."
Going to her home, eh? Well, I don't mind doing that, but...
"Eh? But... Branda doesn't like me being there, right..?"
Daisy smiled blushingly as she spoke to me,
"No, no. Don't worry about that. Actually, there is something that I need to tell you there. So, would it be okay?"
Well... if she's going to invite me this genuinely, then... how can I refuse?
"Ah, sure. I don't have much to do right now, so..."
Daisy became very cheerful as she approached me with excitement and said,
"That's great! Come, I will guide you there."
Saying so, Daisy began to lead me towards her home, with my arm entangled with hers. I was actually a bit nervous of being spotted by Branda and put through her 'interrogation' treatment again, but had no choice but to follow Daisy's lead.
It didn't take long for us to arrive at Daisy's place, as she opened the door and led me in, only for my eyes to fall on a little girl who was sitting bored in front of the TV.
Katey turned back to glance at us once, before her eyes shined strangely, as she stood up and walked near me, only to grab my dress lightly with some shyness.
What's with this little girl? Maybe she had missed me since then?
Daisy went into the Kitchen and came back with some juice and snacks, which she placed in front of me and sat down right next to me.
Facing the shy and expectant gaze of the daughter-mother duo made me strangely nervous, as I tried to drink some juice to regain my mood.
"Actually... my time with you was very memorable. But, even I couldn't have prepared myself for what was going to happen next..."
I wasn't so used to the lively and mischievous Daisy being all meek and shy. It was so strange that I felt even more strange.
"Hmm??"
Daisy played with her hair while glancing at me from time to time... before she dropped the bomb.
"Ah, that is to say that... Branda and I are pregnant with your child..."
"Pffft!!"
I immediately spat out the juice in my mouth reflexively and stared at Daisy with eyes full of shock.
I mean, what was going on??! How could both of them have gotten pregnant in just one time with me??
Isla and Sis Lin have been with me for so long, but... ah, I guess they are using contraceptives properly. But, these two...
As I was fumbling there for words, the front door opened once again as someone called out,
"Daisy? You are back already?? I thought you were going away for at least-"
The person in question stopped mid-sentence as she stared at me with eyes opened wide.
As I began to prepare myself for the inevitable beatdown due to not resolving her misunderstanding of my dick being a clit, Branda leaped over to me and kissed my lips strongly, and spoke with extreme enthusiasm,
"Ohhh~!! It's Carene~?! Do you know for how long have I wanted to see you again?! Thank you for making my dream come true~! Daisy and I... we both are expecting~!!"
Wow... what?? Am I not gonna get beaten up??
No, more importantly, I am going to become a parent?? I-I am going to have a child soon?! And two of them at the same time...
