664 Christmas Plans or Christmas Pains? - Part 8

Wednesday, continued…

When she stopped crying she said "Yi, I know it is selfish to think about only me, but knowing they have not had issues with a pregnancy, and two children when we both know that one of our babies will not survive past a couple of days."

Wiping the tears on Anna\'s face Hou Yi said "Anna, my love.? Do not worry about them."

Turning and looking at Hou Yi Anna responded "I should be grateful for their actions, as I would not be as happy as I am now.? You know you and our children will be my life, but the consequences of his cheating and what he did still hurt, and that is something that will not go away."

Giving her a kiss Hou Ye responded "Hurting you is something he never deserves to be forgiven for, but we have to remember we would not have what we have had and our bright future without what they did, let alone the manipulation of my father and grandfather."

"I forgot about that…"

"Those two told me a couple of weeks ago, they never planned to give over the company to anyone.? All they wanted me to do was to look out for my personal life and be open to finding the woman I would love and marry.? When they told me that I wanted to kill them, but they were right.? All I had done was focus on the company to the detriment of my personal life.? Their gambit made me open to looking at it.? It was due to their actions that when I met you, I knew what I wanted.? But we have talked about the dilemma I faced and what my choice did.? In respecting your relationship, it caused you to suffer unnecessarily."

"Yi, when we met, I was not only still blind to my relationship I would never have given you a chance.? We would not have what we have now, so do not blame yourself for anything.? It was all part of some masterplan to get us to where we are and to appreciate each and everything we have."

Anna paused, and wrapped her arms around Hou Yi\'s neck pulling him down for a kiss.? They both forgot that they were in Anna\'s office and passionately kissed each other for a few minutes, before Anna pulled back struggling for breath before saying "I wish we were in your office as we could disappear into your apartment space and take this a bit further…"

Laughing Hou Yi responded "Anna, I do not know what to say."

"You will spoil me now and always into the future, as you love me so much."

"True, but I know that will be a two-way street."

Anna, paused, looking at her husband with the deep love she knew she had for him shining in her eyes, before saying "Now get back to your office.? We both have a lot to deal with before tonight."

Chuckling Hou Yi stood up and headed out of Anna\'s office saying, "See you later my love."

Later that Night, at the Charity dinner, Anna was deep in discussions with James and Alecia about Christmas when she had a tap on the shoulder.? As she turned around, she noticed it was Phillipa and her parents and she squealed "It is so good to see you," before giving her a hug.

Phillip responded "Based on what your husband told me I expected to see you in a corner in tears?? Yet here you are happy about life."

"Why would I not be happy.? I have a husband who loves me, and I love back, and we are expecting our first child.? My past, is that, but we are dealing with it as we both know it will be with us forever, but at the same time it has gotten us to each other."

"What a change in attitude, Anna."

Nodding Anna introduced Phillipa and her parents to James and Alecia.? Watching the shock on James\' face was well worth having not pre-warned him about the titles Phillipa and Lady Amelia held.

Phillipa, after seeing the look on James\' face added "Your sister is only trying to get at both of us.? Petty revenge for me letting their Royal Highnesses corner her at my grandfather\'s funeral."

"Nothing allows me revenge for that my lady," responded Anna dropping into a curtsey.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，

Lady Amelia added "Forget about it.? This is likely to be the last Christmas we can really relax.? We were going to cancel coming but my father left a letter telling me to come and enjoy Christmas here this year as things change in the years to come."

The six of them stood chatting until Hou Yi, Amanda and Yao Tan came over to join them and they headed inside for the dinner and charity auction.
