Axiel woke up before Lyn. Seeing his wife lying beside him makes him smile. The woman she treasures was with him and he has a bonus, their child. He stroked her face gently and kiss her forehead. These simple movements wake Lyn. Upon opening her eyes his face that has a smile greets her.
“Good morning Wife. Did I wake you up?” Axiel greets and asks her. He didn't know that she is sensitive to touch that easily woke her.
“Good morning to Hubby. No, you didn't wake me up. I woke up before you hehehe.” she honestly confesses shyly. She fantasizes about him while sleeping and closes her eyes when he wakes up. She keeps herself still and does not let him notice that she is awake and lets him do what he wants to do.
“You're naughty Wife, you trick me for that huh. You little devil.” he gently pinches her nose while saying it. He didn't expect her to do that.
“But I didn't expect you not notice me awake huh. I make it Hubby.” Lynlaughsh after saying it.
After that sweet moments, Axiel gets ready and they eat breakfast together before he goes to the office. He needs to be sure that she ate breakfast because it is the most important meal of the whole day.
“Good morning Sir, Mr. Lorenzo accepts your appointment but he wants to meet your wife too. Are you sure to g,o Sir?” Erika approaches him about an hour before he arrived at the company.
“Why did he want my Wife?” Axielasksk out of curiosity. He can't see the reason for that request of a client. What is the reason Mr. Lorenzo has?
“His secretary didn't say anything about it Sir but I'm sure for one reason and it is because you're married. It's an honor for your client to meet her if it's okay with you Sir?” Erika explains and it has sense. Being a wife of a billionaire is big fame and pressure too.
“If that is the case, I will ask my wife about it first, and let's see how she will react. I know that she is very shy about meeting people. When is the appointment and where?” he stated but he can't decide because Lyn is free to accept or reject the request. Especially since she is pregnant and has sensitive emotions.
“Tomorrow at Rivera Private Restaurant.” Erika simply answered. He nodded and signal her to leave. He needed to make a call to ask Lyn about it.
“Hi, Wife” Lyn pick up the call with just a few rings.
“Hello Hubby, what's the matter? You just leave an hour ago.” Lyn ask. Maybe curious why he calls her.
“I want to ask you if you want to come with me tomorrow to meet a client. It's Mr. Lorenzo and he wants to meet you. Do you want to come?” he directs to the point. Lyn's patience is not that long sometimes, especially when she is doing something important or when she is busy watching k-drama or reading. She asks,
“Uhmmmmmm, do I need to come with you?"
“That's why I call you Wife. I need your answer and that is?” he asks again.
“Uhmmmm, I guess I want to come. What time Hubby?” she answered nervously. Meeting the first billionaire is more than the president. Yes, she saw the news about the change of ranking and she didn't mind it. Rank or wealth is not important when you love a person. It's him/her you love not the money they have.
“Tomorrow morning at Rivera Private Restaurant Wife.”
“Okay”
“Let's go together tomorrow. I'll hang up now. I love you,”
“I love you too Hubby. Come home early this afternoon and I will cook for you. Can I cook for Mr. Lorenzo too? I want him to taste me and mom's favorite dish. Is it okay Hubby?” she asks. There are feelings that they have a relation to.
“Of course, you can Wife. I'm off at five and I will go home straight from here. Take care of yourself while I'm not there. Okay, I will hang up now.”
“Okay, bye Hubby." Lyn was the one who ended the call like they always do.

“Aunt do we have enough ingredients there in the fridge?” Lyn asks the mayordoma of the house. She didn't do the first name basis when she is talking to elders except for Axiel anyway.
“Yes, we have Lady Lyn. Do you want to cook?” Susan answered and ask at the same time.
“Are they fresh? I mean just delivered?” she didn't know if the stocks they have today is fresh but half surely it is. She needs to ask to be hundred percent sure.
“Yes, Lady Lyn. I assure you that the ingredients we have now are all fresh and just delivered this morning.” Susan gave her assurance.
“I want to cook for dinner and also for tomorrow,” Lyn stated with a smile. They have chefs but she wants to cook for her husband.
“What dish you will cook Lady Lyn?” Being the mayordoma of the mansion was not easy. You are tasked to manage the workers inside the mansion.
“Tonight it's sinigang na baboy and adobong manok while in the morning, I want to make fried chicken, sinigang na Bangus, lumpiang gulay, and, lumpiang Shanghai for the client of Hubby.” she counts those dishes she wants to cook.
“Are sure you can cook Lady Lyn. Master Axiel was too careful on you Lady Lyn. He will get mad if you got injured while cooking. He treats you as a fragile object Lady Lyn.” Susan says her concern. Being a long-term maid to be mayordoma, she knew how Axiel value her more than anything else.
“Don't worry aunt, I will take care of myself. Trust me,” her determination to cook was there in that simple sentence. Susan didn't demand and nod at her, she's the Lady of the house anyway. They can help her with cooking not to tire her so much. That's not good for their soon-to-be young lady or young master.
At exactly five in the afternoon, Lyn starts to cook her specialties, especially for her husband. A meal made of love. Dishes are set on the table when she heard a car parked in the garage. It's already seven in the evening.
‘Axiel is home.’
‘Her special guest is home.’
Yes, her special guest is her husband. She walks through the door to welcome him. Maids are there to line up to greet Axiel, their Master. She smiles and waits for him at the end of the line.
“Good evening Master!” they greeted in unison and bowed. Fred, the new butler of the house gets the things from Axiel. The Emperor walks in between and meets his Queen that is waiting. The maids leave after they greet him and continue their work before eight in the evening.
There is a rule inside the mansion that when it reaches eight in the evening, all the workers must be in their rooms in the house for them just a couple of hundred meters away from the main mansion. It means they need to finish all their work before that time or they will continue that tomorrow plus their new set of works.
“Good evening Hubby. How is your day?” Lyn asks when they are at the dining table. Asking your husband about their day shows your care for them.
“It's tiring as usual but I manage to finish all my work and go home early. How about my beautiful wife? What happened here when I'm at work?” Axiel answer and return the question. Lyn give him a sweet smile before saying,
“As usual bored but happy when you call and say about your client. I want him to taste this dish that mom and I loved. Nothing bad happened here when you're at work, I assure you Hubby.”
The two maids that are standing near them serve them while they are eating. Putting juice and water in their glass every time they need a refill. Both of them enjoy the meal and go to the living room after finishing eating to digest before going upstairs.
The maids clean the table and wash the dishes before they leave the mansion. Orders at night were through the intercom. Susan stays in the mansion for emergency purposes especially now that Lyn is pregnant. She stays in one of the guest rooms on the first floor.
*Yawn* Lyn yawn while they are watching the evening show. Axiel asks immediately,
“Sleepy?” Lyn nod and buried her head in his chest. She is sitting in his lap while watching earlier.
“Come and let's go upstairs. Do you want me to shower you?” Axiel lifts her and brings her to their room.
“I want a cold shower Hubby. The heat is uncomfortable.” Lyn answered and fall asleep in his hands. It's not the first time that he bathed her. It starts when he exhausts her on their honeymoon and he needs to bathe her after their lovemaking. Not letting her sleep with her sweat until morning that's why.
He places her first in the bed and prepares her bath. Lyn loves a cold bath in the evening because of her pregnancy. He undress and carry her to the bathroom after he prepared it. Carefully place her in the tub and begin to do what he needs to do. Her arousal invites him but he needs to control himself. He respects her and he can't do that while she is asleep. Bathing her quickly, wrapping her with a towel, and drying her before putting on her favorite loose dress similar to a maternity dress with her underwear. Knowing that wearing a bra while asleep can block blood circulation. This is small information the husband must know.
After serving his wife and tucking her in the bed, it's time for him to make a quick shower before joining her. It's their routine every night before going to sleep.
”Hmmm” Lyn groans before opening her eyes. It's dark outside. She checks the time on the clock beside her and it's already five in the morning. Axiel is still sleeping beside her. She kisses him on the lips before getting off the bed and going to the bathroom to wash her face first. She will take a bath later but now she needs to cook those dishes for her husband's client.
“Good morning Lady Lyn.” Susan greet her when she enter the kitchen so she greeted back.
“Good morning to aunt. I want to cook those dishes I tell you about yesterday. Can you help me to prepare the ingredients?” she stated and asked at the same time.
“Of course Lady Lyn,” she assured her.
Lyn starts to cook those dishes when they finish preparing the ingredients. Susan makes coffee for both of them and helps her with cooking. It's almost two hours and thirty minutes, they finish all the four dishes and it's all packed ready to bring later.
Axiel woke up without his wife beside him. About to panic but he remember that she suggested cooking for today's meeting. With a smile on his lips, he does his morning routine and goes downstairs to find his beloved wife that leaves him in the bed while sleeping.
“Good morning Master!” the maids greet him when he's in the living room. He nod at them and go straight to the kitchen and there he saw his wife packing dishes. Owww so she is serious about cooking huh. Susan saw him entering the kitchen and was ready to greet him but he sign her not to.
“Good morning my beautiful wife. Leaving me in the bed was not good hmmm.” he come near her and give her a back hug before saying that. Susan leaves and gives them privacy. They are done after all. It's awkward to watch their sweet moments.
“Good morning to Hubby. I know you are tired so I didn't bother to wake you up and I need to cook for your VIP client remember?” she defend her side.
”Yeah yeah don't be mad wife. I just want to tease you. Are you done?” he can't go any further on teasing her because it's bad to make her angry.
“Yup and I need to take a bath so let go of me. You will smell bad if you keep hugging me.” yeah she is right so he let go and let her do her morning stuff. While Lyn is upstairs, he goes over the files he needs to discuss with Mr. Lorenzo later while waiting for her.
“Hey stop using your computer and let's eat. You even work at the dining table huh?” Lyn approach him and said it with a little pissed voice. He do what she said and set aside his laptop.
”Your beautiful wife, come and let's eat.” he tried to coax her in changing the topic. And it works when she smiles and sits on his lap before saying,
“Of course I am Hubby. I don't want to embarrass you later to your client.” she even kissed him.
“Hubby ahhh” she opens her mouth and that means she wants him to feed her. She even it childishly and cutely to make him agree.
“Naughty wife,” he said and gently pinch her nose. His big baby is hungry and needs to be fed. He feeds her until they make their fill. It's like an indirect kiss because they only use one spoon.
