CHAPTER 81: A New Issue?

　　VEXON

　　I glanced at my three-month pregnant wife, who was sleeping peacefully. She had a special glow on her face, which made her look more beautiful than ever. I was really lucky to have her in my life. It made my life meaningful.

　　I kissed her forehead, still caressing her soft black hair. Pregnancy did make her moody, but the saddest thing for her was she couldn't eat chocolates.

　　"Sleep well, Gem," I whispered into her ear and got up.

　　I had to go to work today. It has been three hours and I hadn't received any update from the base, which seemed suspicious. I made sure every hour or two to get an update about the Gladiolus. Why haven't I got any now?

　　It was midnight, the work time of the Gladiolus. We deal with all the smuggling at this hour.

　　After getting ready, I looked at Ruby for one last time and got out of the room. Once I got out, I saw Everley walking towards our bedroom, her eyes groggy in sleep.

　　"Where are you going?" she asked with her sleepy tone.
