Offer To The CEO

692 A Surprise Arrival - Part 11

Sunday

Unlike Saturday, the medical staff were willing to allow people to come and go from the room, and it was quickly obvious that everyone wanted to spend as much time with them as they could.

At one point, as Hou Yi lifted little Jang from Anna\'s arms after she had given him a cuddle and fed him a bottle, she whispered "You know how much I love everyone, but I wish they would give us a little space.? I need time to deal with our loss of Aaron, and I cannot deal with that if they are here."

"I know, and I feel the same sweetheart.? Let me talk to them.? I suspect as they did not get to meet Aaron before he died, being here with us and little Jang is their way to cope with his death."

Before Anna could respond there was a knock on the door and a nurse entered saying "CEO and Madam Hou, there is a Lexi Yao and a Matthew Rong here wanting to come in."

Anna nodded. When she had a moment of quite yesterday, she had telephoned Lexi to let her know not only had she given birth, but of Aaron\'s death.? Anna was simply happy that Lexi had been able to keep her promise. The interesting thing was that she was accompanied by the man that in their recent conversations she knew was detested.? Anna wondered if she could have a little fun with Matthew Rong.

As soon as they entered the room Lexi ran straight over to Anna, to give her a hug, and hand her the bag in her hands, while Matthew simply stood in the background. Hou Yi wondered what in the world was going on, and moved over quietly speaking to the unexpected guest, while Anna was talking to all the women.

"Colonel Rong, a surprise to see you."

"CEO Yao, Lexi promised your wife she would come and visit, but given the situation I had to come with her."

"Do you need me to arrange a hotel for you?"

"Actually no, I have a meeting with local military leader\'s tomorrow morning, so we are staying on the base tonight visiting officer accommodation. I should be a couple of hours to Lexi will come back to re-visit Anna before we leave."

Hou Yi realised that he did not want to talk, and simply headed back to sit near his wife. Matthew however looked at the scene before him and wondered would he and Lexi ever be so happy and have a child. Despite everything he loved her as much as he always had, but to her he was public enemy number one.

Hou Yi observed that Lexi, unlike everyone else was quickly able to draw a smile from his wife, who was still hurting from Aaron\'s death.

In talking to Anna, Lexi made a comment "Anna, Aaron was a miracle, but he was not with us for long.? Remember him for what he was, your son, rejoice in the time that you had with him, mourn him and make sure your other son knows about him.? You have a few memories that you will be able to give Jang about the time he had with his twin before his death.? For my son, I cannot ever give him that about my first husband, as due to something stupid he had not been with us in the days preceding his death."

Hou Yi in hearing that, realised that Lexi was right, they had treasured moments with Aaron, and that was something that they would be able to share with Jang and their other children.

Anna responded, "How did you get so wise?"

"Anna, while I have not lost a child like you, my first husband died tragically three weeks after Dominic was born.? Due to conflict between us, he spent little time with Dominic and that is something that I will regret as I have little to tell Dominic about him.? You are not like that." Lexi paused and then continued "Now before we move onto more pleasant topics there are a number of things in that bag, including two christening gowns.? Could I suggest that Aaron is buried in one."

Seeing Anna\'s nod, the two of them drifted off into other discussions, while Hou Yi turned to Matthew and said, "Lexi seems to understand."

"She does.? I only know information second hand, but apparently her first marriage was not pleasant, but despite everything she regrets not having the memories of him with Dominic to share.? I guess you have those memories, so being able to share them is important."

After a few minutes, Anna decided that she would have her moment of fun and in a sugary tone said, "Yi darling, I have decided that I need some girl time, and to be realistic I do not want a military officer around me."

Seeing the smirk on his wife\'s face, Hou Yi realised that she was about to argue with Matthew Rong.? However, before he responded Matthew said "Madam Hou, I will leave my wife in with you, as I guess you have had enough of my presence." He turned to Lexi and added "Do not think that means that you can leave here without me knowing.? The guards that have accompanied us due to the threats will remain outside and escort you to the military base where we are staying tonight in visiting officer accommodation."

Responding to his retreating back Lexi added "Just you wait Matthew Rong." Anna could not help but laugh. ?It seemed that she may have found a verbal sparing partner worth her efforts!
