Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 1177 - Chapter 1177 Chapter 1149 Eyes like a Cold-Blooded Animal

Chapter 1177: Chapter 1149: Eyes like a Cold-Blooded Animal Chapter 1177: Chapter 1149: Eyes like a Cold-Blooded Animal When Mario Yuno got home that night, Kiara told him about sending the Beautiful Lady on her way, and he too was silent for a long time.

Both of them felt somewhat heavy-hearted. Fearing that Kiara would continue to be troubled by this matter, Mario changed the topic.

“I see there are some new things in the living room?”

“Yes, they were given by the family of my current patient. I kept saying no, but she insisted on dropping them off at Our Home’s doorstep anyway, fearing I would stop treating her father–I feel a bit uncomfortable about it.”

Kiara had been pondering the matter for a while and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

“I don’t know if I’m overthinking it or what, but Elizabeth Mu said she was just passing by on her way to the School to deliver something to me, but her attitude seemed too natural, not like a chance encounter.”

Kiara always valued privacy, never disclosing where she lived or what her husband did.

Yet today, Grace Bradford found her with pinpoint accuracy, leaving Kiara to wonder if she was overthinking.

“What does this patient’s family do for a living?” Mario asked.

“They run a travel agency and they also own several hotels in other regions. She has always been very warm to me, constantly bringing me gifts. I don’t know if I’m cold-hearted or just hard to please, but even though her offers are nice, I always find her a bit strange.”

“Oh? What’s strange about her? Was the ginseng she gave you last time, right?” That piece of ginseng was still mostly intact and Mario had seen that it was a wild ginseng that had grown for many years, a truly fine item; this employer was very generous.

“Yes, that Elizabeth Mu who gave me the ginseng. If you insist on asking what’s strange about her…” Kiara thought for a moment, “Her eyes are very cold.”

“Her eyes? Really?” Mario then made a face that he thought looked very cold.

Kiara shook her head.

“Although you can seem very serious when you’re focused, there’s a warmth in your eyes, even if it’s a very cold one. But hers felt devoid of warmth, even when she was smiling and making small talk with people, it made me feel cold, just like the eyes of a cold-blooded snake.”

After saying this, Kiara felt that it might not be appropriate and shook her head again.

“Does this make me a disloyal person, criticizing her after accepting her gifts?”

“Not really. It could be considered a professional habit. Maybe your judgment is right. In fact, a woman who can build her family business up to this size must have a much more complex heart than she lets on. If every strong woman were like the Old Lady in the Yuno Family, acting naive and sweet all her life, that wouldn’t make sense.”

Thinking of her mother-in-law, Kiara smiled understandingly. She was modest; her mother-in-law was not naive and sweet at all but rather played the fool brilliantly, with a clear understanding of everything.

“Better get some rest early. Staying up late isn’t good.” Mario cuddled up with her as they lay down; he could only accompany Kiara for a little while before Kiara’s mother would come in after watching the TV series, and then he would have to go sleep in the living room.

His hand, usually placed somewhere unmentionable, moved to her stomach, which still lay flat. But the thought that this place nurtured a shared new life filled him with indescribable joy.

“Has the baby been kicking at all?” He had spent the day in a dreamlike state, feeling as if the world was too good to be true.

“It’s not even a month yet, how could there be a response?” This time, Kiara’s pregnancy was confirmed through a blood test; urine tests didn’t even show up.

“Hehe,” he laughed foolishly, his mind full of images of a chubby little baby. “I’ll see if I can clear some time this month. We need to set a day to go shopping; we haven’t made anything for our child’s bed yet.”

“Susi sent me several baby product catalogues. Let’s pick what we need and have it shipped directly to us; there’s no need to go to the store. As for the crib, doesn’t Uncle have some of our Family Hotel’s stock of wood? Choose a good piece and make one for our child now.”

“You shouldn’t be so capable all on your own; when you prepare everything by yourself, it makes me look useless as a father.”

Mario Yuno said this with guilt. His job had become increasingly busy, making it difficult to leave work on time, let alone take time off to go shopping with his wife. He felt he owed his family for this.

She had thought everything through so considerately; everything was ordered, which also gave him the chance to be involved in preparing for the baby’s arrival.

“How could that be? If I were useless, where would Our Home’s little girl come from? Plus, you’ll have to help out when the child is born. If she cries or fusses in the middle of the night, it’ll be you who has to hold her.”

Kiara really enjoyed discussing these things with him, a feeling she never had in her past life.

“Of course, I will. Daughter-in-law, how do you know it’s a girl? But don’t feel pressured, I don’t mind whether it’s a girl or a boy.”

Before Kiara became pregnant, Mario Yuno would clamor daily for a daughter. However, once she was pregnant, he didn’t dare to keep insisting. Isaac was due in two months and it was already confirmed he would have a son. This meant the Old Yates Family would have no daughters this generation. The Yuno Family, whether Mario’s branch or Olivia Brown’s, had always had more men than women. Now that Kiara was expecting, everyone was guessing the baby’s gender, but Mario Yuno wished to let nature take its course.

“Weren’t you always talking about wanting a daughter before? Why so generous now?” Kiara asked with a smile.

“Boy or girl, as long as it’s our child, it’s all good. Don’t feel any pressure.” Now, his only hope was for his daughter-in-law and the child to be safe and sound, that would be the best.

“Don’t worry, you’ll get what you wish for.” Kiara leaned her head on his shoulder, eagerly anticipating that the child in her belly was her little Wendy.

Even if it wasn’t, it didn’t matter, just as he said, it was the crystallization of their love.

“Daughter-in-law.”

“Hmm?”

“I appreciate you so much. Thank you for being willing to have a child for me.” He truly didn’t know what to say to express the joy in his heart; he felt that his blessed life had not stopped since meeting Kiara.

Sometimes he felt his life was already very sweet, but as time went on, he’d find it could be sweeter. Life always had so many delights waiting for him to discover.

“Silly, what’s there to thank me for?” Kiara laughed. The guy must have been so happy he’d gone foolish.

“I should thank you. It’s going to be hard for you in the coming months. I see those pregnant women looking so strained. My sister-in-law often says giving birth is like taking a walk around the gates of hell. I worry about you.”

Having a doctor from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department in the family meant he understood a bit more, and with more knowledge came more concern.

“It’s alright, this child and I are meant to be. I don’t find it hard.” Kiara, thinking about her daughter clinging to her and acting spoiled, felt her heart warm with love. She was usually a woman who dreaded trouble, but now none of that mattered. No matter how difficult or treacherous the pregnancy might be, she would endure it with strength.

This was what she owed her child from a past life. As long as her daughter was willing to return to her, she was willing to endure any hardship.

“Kiara, you must take good care of yourself.” Mario Yuno was the epitome of an expectant father, alternating between happiness and concern. The young couple nestled together, whispering sweet nothings, enjoying their blissful contentment, but there were always those who’d spoil the mood.

“Cough, cough!”

Mario Yuno and Kiara quickly separated, only to see the Mother-in-law arriving with a plate of fruits, eyeing Mario Yuno with the gaze of someone guarding against thieves. Her gaze particularly fixed on his hand resting on Kiara’s shoulder.
