Chapter 197 - Chapter 197

((( ZHIO )))

"She's been looking for you all day," Sya spoke from the other line. "She's anxious and restless."

Just a day had passed and Claire didn't want to talk to me?

It must be another bout of her episodic mood swings.

"I'll see if I could go back anytime soon," I replied, "Please watch over her while I'm here."

I talked to Deo if he could squeeze in the remaining presentations into a brief overview and finish relevant documents as soon as he could. And if some of the meetings don't necessarily require my presence, I'd send over my representatives instead.

The consecutive problems they'd created when I went missing had piled up.

Worse, the news about Claire had summoned media representatives to follow me anywhere I was.

"We heard you have a wife now President."

The elders of the Cryzastic had been informed of the latest gossip.

I couldn't reply and whenever that topic was brought, all I could do was excuse myself and divert the topic to the main reason I was abroad- business.

"Is it true that she's Derick's fiancé?"

"I'm not here to satisfy your curiosity. I'd adjourn this meeting if everything is done here," I dismissed everyone.

Just that fast, I was aboard the private jet back home.

"You've made the whole world so small you could go back and forth anywhere and anytime you wished," Dennise teased from behind my seat, "I'm envious."

"Sis," Deo interfered, "Due respect please. He's still my boss."  

"C'mon bro," she responded,

"This lovesick man is just excited to go home for Claire. Miss her huh, Zhio? How's she?"

"Dennise!" Deo gritted his teeth.

I massaged my temple in a sudden attack of exhaustion.

I took a painkiller for the terrible migraine and dozed off to sleep until we arrived at the airport terminal.

"Sir, the Chopper is ready to take you back to the mansion."

We arrived at the mansion at one in the morning. Deo and his sister would take their rests at the unused mansion rooms.

I left the lights unturned as I entered our room and approached Claire who was asleep. And to complete my day, I kissed her cheeks.

I touched her baby bump and felt the warmth for a couple of minutes,

"Be good to Mommy little angel."

I took a quick shower first before lying next to her. I wrapped my arms around her and, although she was sleeping, I felt her arms wrap around mine too.
