Offer To The CEO

Chapter 722 - A birth and another pregnancy

Three months later

Having been woken by James last night telling them he was taking Alecia to the Hospital; all Anna could do was sit in Jang's room and watch him sleep. How much had life changed in just over eighteen months. She had married Hou Yi, they have their little Jang, lost Aaron, James was married and about to become a father, her parents had split, and her father had finally made a life for himself away from her mother's oppressive influence.? Let alone what she was achieving with the trial for vulnerable children in the court system.? In its short time it was already making a difference for them.

Having accepted what had happened with Lu Jinhu and his father, it was easy now to move forward with her life.? Yes, she still had emotional setbacks but these were not as debilitating as they had been.? As all the counsellors kept telling her, and which Phillipa reinforced, she would never fully recover from what happened, she would become the best she could be.? Yi, made sure that this was the case.

Surprisingly working with him during the early phases of this trial showed her that Lu Jinhu was changing and had accepted his own past actions.? He knew that she would never forgive him, and as he kept saying he would not expect that as he had caused so much harm, he was happy that she had the life she deserved.

He also commented that the death of his father and the separation from Yang Lin showed him that he needed to escape where he was headed.? He needed to be responsible for his own actions and show his daughters how someone should behave, treating people as they wanted to be treated and respecting the law.? The only problem he still had was that Yang Lin was using the children as weapons against him.? Anna, however representing the children put a stop to that, and the court banned her from seeing them presently as of the bruising they had when she returned them to his care after her last visit.

At this time, those two little girls needed Yang Lin completely out of their lives.? Her action was showing the importance of the trial, to protect children when they are the victims of parental violence to have their interests looked after separate from that of their parents.? The work was challenging, and she was loving it as it continued to change perceptions within the legal system."

"Why did I know you would be here?" said Hou Yi walking into Jang's nursery.? Anna was aware that the travel for him between the Villa and Hou Enterprises was more challenging than that from the apartment.? They knew when she was pregnant with Jang and Aaron it would never be practical for young children.? But it would always be a special place.? It was where they consummated their marriage, where Jang and Aaron were conceived and most likely the baby the obstetrician told her she was pregnant with yesterday.

"You are often here too my love."

"True, but I guess with James' call you could not sleep. Come back to bed, and he will call when Alecia has given birth, and everything is OK."

"I know, but for some reason I needed to be here. I just hope Tan copes when she does in becoming a grandfather."

"He is not my sweet. James, Ton, Junior and I decided the other night to take him out and Ton and Junior had to hand over a "Grandfather" gift…"

"Dare I ask?"

"A walking cane, and let us just say the look on his face…"

"Was a sight to behold?" Anna paused, and quietly said "Yi could you sit down."

Hou Yi, hearing a somewhat scared undertone behind Anna's words was worried. For the last few days he had wondered if something was going on for Anna. Had she reached a point she was regretting what had happened since they got married. That was something he did not want to contemplate. He sat down, simply because Anna asked and looked at her.

Anna observing Hou Yi realised that he was scared about what she was to say. She was not going to delay "Yi, I had a review appointment with the obstetrician yesterday. He had some news for me." Anna stood up and moved over to Hou Yi picking up his hand and placing it on her stomach, before saying "I am pregnant again. They think I am around a month along."

Hou Yi heard the words, but he was in utter shock. They had not spoken about having more children, but this was so unexpected. He quickly stood up and took Anna in his arms and gave her a kiss, which was disrupted with Jang squealing as his parents were totally ignoring him. Hou Yi leaned into his cot and picked him up cuddling both him and Anna, saying "Our extended family is about to expand, and soon our family will. Jang, your little sister or brother is here" with that he placed a hand of Jang's on Anna's stomach "inside mama."

Jang looked at Hou Yi and said "Mama, Papa?"

Before anything could be said Hou Yi's phone rang, and he handed Jang to Anna, before answering it and placing it on speaker. "James, how is everyone?"

"Yi Alecia and our daughter are fine. I called Yao Tan and Amanda but the hospital has told me that they will only allow Yao Tan and Amanda in today…"

"James do not worry. You and Alecia take care and remember that I will be paying you back by spoiling my niece rotten."

"You better not Anna, now I am already getting evil looks here, so we will talk later."
