"That's a brilliant idea Kim" Alec praised.
" We didn't even think about it" Lexie said in jubilee.
Jeff pulled her to himself and kissed her forehead.
"Is it possible?" Kim asked Jeff.
"Yes" he nodded.
"Is it the super urge to protect your husband that gave you such brilliant idea" Carl said casually.
Kim bowed her head shyly. She knew Carl was teasing her but yet she was so shy.
"Don't mind him" Jeff told her.
"Please I need to get going. I didn't tell Kyle I will take so long" Lexie said.
They all glared at her at once except Kim. She didn't have any reason to.
Lexie frowned.
"What's with the hostility? It's not as if we've not done justices to what we came to do" she said nonchalantly.
" Justice?" Dean asked.
"Dad" Lexie called like she wanted to cry.
She knew if her father didn't approval her going, she couldn't go anywhere. She really need to go so that Kyle won't get worried and start to bombard her with questions.
"All you think about is your husband. You don't even think about yourself" Maureen chided.
She too was not happy that her daughter wants to leave in the middle of their conversation.
"I do think about myself" she argued.
"I see" Vit eyed her. " A solution was proferred to you about what you are going to do to your pregnancy so that you will stop taking secret treatments but you didn't see it seem fit to put it into action. All you just think about is your husband" she said angrily.
"Mum I was waiting for Carl to tell me what to do next but he didn't" she said trying to defend herself.
Carl snorted.
" I don't have any thought aside you" He mocked.
" You don't have anyone you are thinking of so it's not bad if you think about me" she said firmly.
Carl chuckled.
" Do I look like Kyle to you?"
Lexie frowned. She knew how her brothers love to pick on her husband.
"Must you talk about my husband?" She shouted.
" But seriously Lexie. Your husband isn't saying a thing about the changes in your body?" Alec asked with an innocent look but behind it was mockery.
"I tell you the guy is super blind and naive. How can he not notice?" Jeff joined the mockery.
Kim pulled his sleeve and frowned. She shook her head that he shouldn't be part in mocking their sister.
"Jeff!" Lexie shouted in ire.
"Hey don't be angry dear. He only spoke the truth" Alec said smiling.
" I need to get out of this place before I kill this guys with my bare hands" she jacked up in anger.
" No way are you moving an inch" Maureen said with her voice ringing with authority.
"Mum!" She called like a child throwing tantrum.
"Be calm" Dean who was writing something on a note pad said. "I've tried to put some things together which I will want everyone to carry out perfectly" he explained.
They all became serious at once expecting what he wanted to say.
"Actually it only involves the three of you. It is an added task to you three" he said pointing at the guys.
He then put the book on the center table. The guys didn't reach for it as Kim expected. They seem to be seeing everything written in it from where they sat. She was really discovering lot of ability in them day by day.
"So I think this should do for now" he said with an indifferent look.
" Thank God I can leave now" Lexie murmured.
" Lexie, let's solve your issue after Paul's book launch" Maureen said to her.
Lexie nodded and didn't talk. She was still angry that her brothers made jest of her husband. The guys knew but they ain't moved. They enjoy mocking Kyle.
All of a sudden Dean pressed the button and they went up with speed. This time not only Kim was scared even Maureen and Lexie couldn't help it.
"Shouldn't you have told us we were going up?" Maureen scolded her husband. She was panting from the shock.
Kim already hugged Jeff who hugged her back.
"So sorry darling. Did I scare you?" He said with a sweet smile.
Maureen gave a stubborn pout and Dean continued to coerce her.
Lexie was the first to leave the room.
"C'mon sis. It's all a joke don't be too angry" Alec said with a smile.
Lexie refused to talk to him.
"She can't get angry at me been that I'm her life saver now" Carl boasted.
She dashed him a glare but she knew it was true.
"Cad" she insulted.
Carl shrugs.
"I think I'm getting used to insults since I have a bird mouthed lady closer to me now" he twitched the edge of his lips.
