Free Web NovelChapter 279: Visit Of Lawrence And Mawar
Lawrence and Mawar visited Skyla Villa bearing gifts and food on the weekend. They were officially dating now and had requested to help set up the nursery.
They hugged Skyla turn by turn and Lawrence had brought glass tupperwares with plastic lids.
"Mom made Sadza and iron rich special vegetables and egg soup for you. She said it’s very nutritious, she used to have it in all her pregnancies."
"Thank you, Lawrence. That’s very thoughtful of her. Please, offer my gratitude to her." Skyla accepted it and handed it over to Madame Maven.
"How are you feeling?" Mawar asked as they made their way to the nursery so Skyla could show them the progress they had made.
"Just nauseated and sometimes tired but other than that, peachy." Skyla opened the freshly painted but dried door of the nursery and they stepped inside the viridescent heaven the duo were creating for their baby.
The irresistible smell of fresh paint and the soothing effect of the colour green welcomed them.
"Wow! So fresh. I like the colour tone," Mawar added, "Now let’s give it an anime touch."
"Yo! The baby is going to have cool best friends in me and Mawar. We are going to make him or her an anime addict."
Skyla vehemently nodded and gave her full approval.
Lawrence placed the bag he had brought along on the floor and began to dish out all the cool anime-styled wallpapers, hanging toys, animal and nature-themed stickers, murals, growth charts, fairy lights and other essentials.
"These are amazing, thank you for helping guys." Skyla let out an excited squeal.
"Happy to be of service, let’s get started. Once we are done with the walls, I will help Zyair set up the crib, cot and all the other furniture," Lawrence said and began by unrolling a huge wallpaper of Anya Folger. Skyla was sure Zyair had ordered this specific one.
"Yes, he is taking a shower, will be here soon." Skyla settled down in the special rosewood rocking chair Zyair had ordered for her. A velvety soft cushion had been placed on it so she could sit comfortably.
Mawar and Lawrence got to work, Skyla aided them here and there and told them where she wanted what.
The door opened and Zyair walked inside, bathed in his invigorating oceanic scent.
"Hey! Man," Lawrence greeted him, with his usual hand bump and half hug.
"Good morning! Sir," Mawar greeted him in all professionalism. It was still a bit strange for her to see her boss without a mask.
"Good morning! Mawar. Is this rascal treating you well? You know you can always tell me if he gives you trouble," Zyair addressed her with a slow smile as he bent down to place a kiss on his wife’s head.
Mawar forced back a giggle while Lawrence unhappily groaned and asked.
"Really? Aren’t you supposed to be on my side?" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Nah! You cause too much trouble."
"I will, Sir." Mawar was more than happy to oblige.
"I am sure Lawrence will cherish her." Skyla nodded at Lawrence, letting him know she had his back.
"He better or I will smack his pretty little ass," Zyair warned, sauntering over to Lawrence and observing what he was doing.
Mawar snickered with her hand on her mouth.
"You are acting like a true Batman, always pulling my leg and giving me hard lessons." Lawrence straightened up the sticker of a cub he was about to paste on the wall and showed it to his boss.
"They are needed, you still have much to learn. And this sticker is cute. Let’s put it up."
They got busier, hanging up all the cute wall decorations and then men got busier with putting the cot together.
Madame Maven had arranged for snacks and drinks. Skyla was given the food Lawrence had brought for her. She relished it in delight and was thankful that there was no nausea. It was delicious.
It was later in the afternoon when all of them finally got free from decorating the room and adjusting all the furniture and baby essentials in it. All that was missing now was the baby.
"Look at that, it’s so serene and beautiful." Zyair came over to Skyla and carefully coiled his arms around his wife, placing his hands on her belly. They watched the nursery together with such adoration that Lawrence and Mawar quietly left the room to go wait in the living room, giving them this private moment.
As the door closed, the room was only lit up by the fairy light giving it a warm loving glow.
"I can see you sitting there on the rocking chair, nursing our baby. It will be the most beautiful sight," Zyair breezily murmured in her ear, affection dripping from his every word creating this soul-satisfying music for Skyla.
"It will be so worth it because you will be by my side." She answered, arching her neck and Zyair’s lips latched onto the softness, suckling it.
"It will be my greatest pleasure," he rasped, enjoying the smooth skin he so loved to devour.
His hands slid inside her shirt and caressed her belly in gentle strokes. The moment was so pristine, so emotional and so private.
Skyla shuddered in his arms and almost melted with the love this man had to offer.
"We shouldn’t keep Lawrence and Mawar waiting," Skyla finally found her voice and Zyair unwillingly let her go.
"Yes, let’s have dilunch." He combined the name of dinner and lunch together since it was so late for lunch but earlier for dinner.
Taking her hand in his they walked out and made their way to the living room. Mawar and Lawrence were in a heated discussion about some anime characters.
"Thanks a lot, guys for today. The room looks just as I had visualised it." Skyla went on to hug both of them, and a broad smile remained on her lips.
"It was an honour," Mawar answered with a genuine smile. Her hair had been dyed smoky red nowadays, so bright like a cherry.
"The food has been served," Madam Maven announced and Lawrence cheered. Food was always welcomed.
"Let’s feast." He fist pumped, making others chuckle as they headed off to the dining hall to eat and chat some more.
Outside the house, Kail had captured a man trying to take photographs of the house while hiding behind a parked car.
He dragged him out by the scruff of his neck and landed a hefty punch on his face, knocking several teeth out.
"Illegal snapping of pictures is forbidden. Didn’t you read the board? Who are you working for?" Kail threatened with angered eyes and a raised fist.
"N—no one. I was just paid some cash online to take pictures of this house. I d—don’t know who it is."
"Well, we are about to find out when I beat the shit out of you."
The man was later handed over to the police and further investigation revealed he was indeed telling the truth. Someone had transferred him a hefty amount to take pictures of Zyair and Skyla’s house and also them.
Zyair kept the news from Skyla but it worried him even more, making him acquire more security and making Skyla go on leave early.
