greedy CEO
CHAPTER XXIII: The Astrada Family

Seeing Sasha who looked much more reserved this morning made Lion uneasy. Even this morning she didn't get the good morning kiss Sasha used to give her.

Lion who did not want to be troubled finally chose to ask. "Is there anything bothering you, baby? Are you not feeling well?"

Sasha gasped in shock as she was daydreaming ever since. The spoon had not even moved since then and only two mouthfuls had just entered his mouth. "Ah sorry, I seem to be daydreaming too much. You don't have to worry, I'm fine."

"Really?" Lion doesn't believe that much.

Sasha smiled sweetly trying to dispel Aolion's doubts towards him. "Yes, I'm fine."

Lion understood. "Just tell me or Mil and Hil if anything bothers you."

Sasha nodded obediently. "I understand." Sasha continued her breakfast. "Oh yeah, today I'm going out with Alya. I'll accompany her shopping for her baby's needs because it's nearing the day of her birth."

Lion stopped his mouth. His head was raised looking at his wife. "She's about to give birth? She's been pregnant all this time?"

Sasha frowned not understanding. "Of course she's eight months pregnant, don't you see that big belly?"

"A-ah." said Lion in a soft voice. He was now turning his brain to think of something.

Sasha's more rapid pregnancy changes are evident because she's the one who hastened their marriage. Helian who never touched his wife also because he was trying since his arrival here. But the son of the Willson family who was born this fast, this has nothing to do with him.

Lion is convinced that nothing has made him change Sasha's friend's family. Mrs Willson did give birth earlier than her wife, but that was when Sasha was twenty-five. Now that his wife is twenty-three, why would she give birth?

Sasha held the Lion's hand, resuscitating the man from his daydream. "What are you thinking? Your mind seems to come out once just because of Alya's news, you don't usually care.."

"Hm, I just," Lion put on a smile to quench his wife's curiosity. "I'm so impatient because I want to see my son too!"

Sasha grunted softly. "Basic!"

"By the way.." Lion looked at his wife carefully. "Do you know if the child is a boy or a girl?"

"He said women, even though they had prepared a male name, they had to think of a name again" he said." Sasha devoured her food after giving her husband an answer.

Lion frozen. He forced a regular smile. "Female..? What, is that for sure?"

Sasha nodded. "Why do you want to know this? You look strange Lion," sasha chirped lightly but enough to make the Lion flutter.

"Ah no, I just, we'll have to give her a gift according to her genitals." Lion reasoned.

"Hmm," Sasha only replied with a mutter and the conversation ended here.

.

"I'm sorry to bother you, my husband has been busy lately so he can't accompany me shopping for baby gear" Alya said.

Sasha shook her head without a problem. "I want to look around too." Slowly lightly. "Didn't you like blue? It's all Doraemon themed there!"

Alya turned towards Sasha's hand. "Come there!"

Sasha nodded. The two walked towards the place Sasha pointed at earlier.

"He said without reason Mr. Helian had not shown himself again since the incident his arm was yes, but the news said he was fine.."

"That's right, all the reviews were done by his representative."

Sasha held up Doraemon's puppet in front of her.

"Didn't Lord Aolion not show up even when his uncle was injured?"

"In hindsight, after marriage, wasn't it never to be seen again?"

"Sasha! Look it! Isn't this funny?" Alya lifts up a large Doraemon doll with a witch model.

Sasha nodded in agreement with Alya's opinion. "But Alya, you seem to have forgotten that we're buying something for a baby to be born, not a birthday of a three or four-year-old." Sasha reminded.

"They won't stale even if it's kept for the next three or four years." Alya gave an argument and still put the big doll in the list of items he bought today.

Sasha grunted softly. "Hurry and buy everything you really need. You can't go shopping like this, Miss Willson."

"All right," Alya obeyed.

Although Sasha had asked him to shorten the time, the name of the woman if it was in the shopping place would be very comfortable. Sasha just got home after the day started in the afternoon when they left around ten in the morning.

"Welcome madam!" Welcome Mil. "Do you want to prepare warm water?"

"No Miles. Is Lion in the room?" Sasha asked as she entered her house.

"Yes madam. He's still in his room." Answer Mil.

Sasha stepped into the room where she said her husband was. As he was already in front of the glass door, the door immediately split giving access for him to enter. "Lion you're busy?"

"Not really," replied Lion without seeing his wife who was now approaching from behind. "How's your shopping?"

"Ah yes, since it came out I was so reminded of something we should have discussed."

Lion turned his chair. As he turned the chair, his wife looked at him as if demanding something. Lion raised one eyebrow. "Have I forgotten something?"

Sasha nodded. "Helian Astrada's. You forgot about it."

"Should we talk about it? That's not a fun talk for a pregnant woman." Lion is not sure if he should be asked to say it. His wife had just entered the age of six months. The content is in a safe stage.

"Then you told me to keep on being agitated because you didn't know anything?" Sasha made another choice that her husband could not choose. "I'm fine Lion. Let me know about your family. About Astrada."

Lion sighed resignedly. He pulls Sasha's hand to fall into his lap. "I never won from you." Lion peeped at Sasha's blushing cheeks before starting his story.

"Helian Astrada is the one who wants me to continue being the point. As you know, I have an advantage that not many others have and he wants it." Lion begins his story.

"Then you've just been arguing now?" Sasha's question confirmed his conjecture.

Lion nodded. "That's because I realized too late that I was just being used as her pet dog all this time. Seeing the animal he had tamed off of course it made him try to control it again."

"By using me yes," added Sasha guessing exactly again.

"That's how our relationship is all you need to know."

The cup!

Lion kissed Sasha's lips at a glance. "For the others, it's not an important thing you should know. That's enough, right?"

Sasha shaking. "How do you who have always been controlled can take off so that you can even strike back?"

"Of course it's because your husband is so much stronger than her dear" Lion snobbed. "If I had not been inedible by his provocation, it would have been impossible for the man to have this kind of comfort and high status. Now get some rest, I'm sure you'll be tired."

"Lion's last question." Sasha asked for one more chance.

Lion nodded in allowing. "Tell me."

"Have I ever known you as Ao?"
