Offer To The CEO

625 Return and Reality - Part 12

Thursday

After dinner, Anna and Hou Yi decided to simply sit in the lounge area before retiring for the night, enjoying their last night for ten or eleven days together while Hou Yi was away. As they sat on the sofa, Hou Yi gathered Anna in his arms, and she simply leant back. Once their tea was delivered, Hou Yi asked "How are you going?"

"Not feeling as frustrated as I expected having to cut working. But who knows how long that will be for?"

"Anna, you can conquer anything. Think about it. What have you been through to get to where we are now, tells anyone that."

Hou Yi paused for a few seconds then continued "Anyway, we will be able to reduce the additional stress on you. Alister received the report from the Obstetrician earlier today and called me about it. ?He spoke to the representatives for the other victims, explaining to them that there was medical evidence that indicated that it was not in your best interest or that of your pregnancy to be constantly dragged to court.? They agreed to support him in pushing for the matter to be listed for a final hearing as soon as practicable after your due date."

"He then had a discussion with the National Prosecutors who after considering the medical evidence and confirming that the other victim\'s lawyers agreed would support the argument for a final hearing date to be locked in, and until then for us to be excused from attending court."

"That sounds good, I hate having to constantly see him, as it reminds me of what he convinced his son to do."

"Sweetheart do not worry about it.? Alister was right when he told me earlier that the constant dragging the matters back before the court is all about satisfying Lu Jingho\'s vanity and need to control everyone.? This, will rest that control back from him if the court grant\'s it."

"If that can happen sounds like a good thing."

"Now, and please do not kill me when I am finished telling you this, but I need to be totally honest with you about things I know." With that Hou Yi paused and started to tell Anna everything he had about Lu Jingho, Jang Gang and what was going on.

When he finished, Anna quietly responded "I knew there could always be a seedy side to my profession in some countries, but this is more than I could have imagined.? However, my love you know I really do not care if it breaks what I consider to be appropriate in my profession.? If it takes him down and eliminates his money so be it.? He deserves it for not only what he has done but what his actions have prompted."

"So you are OK with it, and me holding back on information from Alister?"

"In this case absolutely. ?You trusted your instincts, and it will be fun to watch that ultimate takedown when he goes down on all these criminal matters."

As Anna started to move in his arms, Hou Yi knew this was a conversation that neither of them wanted to continue, so he helped Anna turn in his arms for she was straddling him, and they started kissing, which soon became passionate.? Before anything else could happen, they were disrupted by a voice "You two need to get a room. This is the last thing a mother wants to walk in on."

Hou Yi pulled back, and swore under his breath before saying "Mother, what in the world are you doing here?"

"Well, I heard that you are away for ten or eleven days and I decided that I needed to come over to persuade my darling daughter-in-law either to come and stay at the ancestral home, so we can finish the nursery there, or if she wanted to stay here did she want your aunt and I to come and stay."

Anna paused and said "Mother, I really have no idea. I am an adult and I can cope without my husband with me. We have staff who can look after my needs. I can always ask if I need company."

"Sweetheart, staff are staff, you need family with you."

In a sharp response Hou Yi snapped "Mother. Anna is right. It is her call, and I support her. And by the way, simply rocking up when you like is totally unacceptable. We are married and this is our home and we can do what we like here. You need to respect that."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click .Comfor visiting.

"Do not talk to me like that, Yi I am your mother."

Anna could see Hou Yi was getting angry, and decided to quickly end this "Mother, Let me think about your offer. We were about to retire to bed, so can you please see yourself out." With that Anna stood up, and picked up the tea tray, and headed towards the stairs, with Hou Yi behind her. As they passed Du AnLing they paused and each gave her a kiss, before heading to their suite.
