Did your water break?

"I have a swimming class today, why are you here?" she asked casually. She's having mixed feelings now. She was so sure she wanted to move on without him and even planned raising the children without him in the picture, but seeing him today, hugging him, she realized how much she missed him.

"I have some documents to work with your brother." He waved the folders in his hand, trying to set aside the jealousy he felt earlier with the new comer.

Thinking that her brother is arranging her divorce, Yuyu nodded at him and opened the door widely. "I'll see you after my class, we can talk to settle things. Call my brother to discuss your business." She left and headed at the pool. She has to finish first her personal schedule and face him later since it would be easier to clear their standing.

Ming YaoFeng felt offended by her coldness. It's been months since they last saw each other and it seems like his wife has totally forgotten him.

Doesn't she love him anymore? No. It's just her defensive wall built up. He needed to break that wall.

He pick up his phone and dialed Alex's number.

"I'm at your house." he said.

"Hurry up. Get up here, they are going to start." Alex replied. He thought he was dialing the wrong number and looked at his phone. Then he saw a person waving at him at the top of the stairs and gesturing to him to hurry up.

The two sneaky men from the study watched the two people below. Although they cannot hear them, they can still clearly see if something goes wrong.

"He seems angry at me." The man was laughing as he assisted her going down the pool. Swimming for pregnant women is a good exercise and helps both the mother in children.

"He's just not in the mood at the moment." Yuyu explained as they were talking about the incident earlier. The two of them were already standing at the pool and Ming YaoFeng was silently thankful when his wife did not remove her t-shirt and the man remained clothed wearing board shorts and a swimming shirt too.

"He was not informed that I am taking swimming lessons so I would need to educate him later." Yuyu added.

When the two reached the water level to her chest, the coach started the stretching and Yuyu removed her white shirt as it was troublesome.

( Ming YaoFeng's face dimmed. How can this woman strip off in front of another man when her tummy is so big! Plus, he had not even touched her! He was starting to resent the coach in his head. )

"Yuyu, I may introduce another coach to you," he said as he join her with the activity.

"Was it because of my husband?" Yuyu was worried.

"Of course not!" the coach laughed. "My wife is due anytime this week, I am so nervous." He honestly said.

"Wow, I'm excited for the two of you. Is this your first child?" she asked.

"No. This is our second. But I'm still nervous you know. The first time she gave birth, I was abroad. This time I am with her and I feel more pressure every day. How I wish the baby would come out immediately so I don't have to worry about my wife. I can hire another person to take care of the baby while I focus on taking care of my wife."

"You really do love your wife. Send me a photo when the baby comes out! Our children can be friends and you can all come over to swim with us!" she was so happy with the idea that she was able to make a friend for her twins.

"Right! Okay, I will tell my wife. I'm sure the two of you will be friends." their conversation continued for the rest of the activity.

Inside the study.

Alex was worried that his brother in law will rage at the sight of the two people below happily talking. He was internally thankful that the man remained calmed and composed in spite of the deathly aura he emits.

The two men talked while watching them.

"Did you ask me to come here to see that she's moving on with another man?" YaoFeng asked Alex.

"What moving on are you talking about? I am giving you a chance to talk with her! I forgot that she was scheduled for swimming today. I have so much work to do." Alex said.

"Why did you ask me to bring these?" he gestured the folders in his hand. It was the documents of their assets that he showed Alex last time.

"I just said that so the act will be very realistic! See? She did not doubt you when you arrived! She thought we had something to discuss. If had had told you earlier that you will meet her, you will not be surprised and she will get back at me! You played your role well." Alex patted the man's shoulder leading him outside the study. "Now, when you talk later, tell her that I was not able to attend to you. Tell her you'll be back next time because I have an important meeting and I forgot that I'm meeting you. Go out and find a place to compose your thoughts. You can wait for her somewhere else but not here." YaoFeng was not able to retort when Alex pushed him away from the study room.

Ming YaoFeng still has a frown on his face as he goes down the stairs. He realized that his wife's siblings have a fear of offending her; he was relieved to know that he's not the only one who bow down in fear of his wife! There are two more men!

He met Nana Luo at the middle of the stairs who looked at him curiously.

"Why are you frowning," she kindly asked.

He was surprised that a White's servant was talking to him. It did not escape his eyes that the person was holding a pile of purple clothes and he already guessed who it belonged to. An idea popped his mind.

"Alex called me here to discuss something and he just threw me out of the room saying he forgot our appointment. He said he will just call me for a re-schedule. Sadly, I missed an important meeting today, anyways," he took the clothes from the old lady's hand and helped her, "where do we put these? You should ask someone else to bring this up as you cannot see the steps. Or you should take at least two flights." He said as he turned around with the clothes and went back to the top of the stairs.

Nana Luo was touched and smiled. "You can leave it there," she said pointing at the couch near the second floor hall. "Do you want to have tea or coffee," she asked.

"No. I will go down. I have to discuss something with my wife. I was not able to sleep for how many months now because she left me." He said and went down.

Nana Luo realized that it was probably the father of Yuyu's children. She was not well informed that they were married as she also does not wear the wedding ring she used as collateral the last time she borrowed money from the secreatariat. Nana Luo is not someone who gossip but fully support her masters and mistress.

Yuyu went off to the pool assisted by the man.

She was being helped to her bathrobe by the man who's having a happy conversation when Ming YaoFeng sat on one of the lazy chairs.

The two said goodbye and Yuyu entered the side door a bit surprised to see him.

"Have you finished your meeting with my brother?" she asked.

"He kicked me out. He said he was very busy today." he said without feelings.

"Sorry to hear that. He has been really busy since this morning." she was about to say more when nana Luo appeared. "Right. Nana Luo, this is YaoFeng. Can you send someone to bring some food for Alex, he'd been busy since morning I'm afraid he'll starve." Nana Luo eyed her as if asking about the man.

"Bring some tea and coffee here too, we have something to discuss." she added dismissively meaning they can talk later. Nana Luo left.

"Please wait here, I'll just change and we will talk." she said turning to the stairs.

He watched as his wife took the stairs and he immediately ran towards her when she stopped at the middle of the stair. He held her waist and worry flashed his eyes. "What's happening? Is it today? Did your water break?" He was very worried. He had been reading her pregnancy books at the office and this is one of the stages he was worried about.

"No, please.. call.. Alex." she said, keeping the pain to herself.

"Tell me now. I am still your husband! Should I bring you to the hospital or.."
