Chapter 1184: Chapter 1156: Pipi Shrimp, Let’s Go! (Fourth Update) Chapter 1184: Chapter 1156: Pipi Shrimp, Let’s Go! (Fourth Update) “The Old Lady called me earlier to brush things off, but judging from her tone, she doesn’t want to let it go. She’s waiting at Our Home for us to come back and deal with the dog, but it’s strange, I can’t understand why it would bite you. Has anything like this happened before?”
“Before… I remember now!” Kiara suddenly slapped her forehead, recalling the incident when the Beautiful Lady barked at her after she had brought ginseng home.
Just then, the Beautiful Lady ran over from the bathroom, carrying Kiara’s changed clothes in its mouth, and it dropped them on the ground before barking incessantly.
Mario Yuno watched the Beautiful Lady bark at the clothes with furrowed brows.
“Could it be that my clothes picked up some impure scent that Beautiful Lady dislikes? I remember one time I brought ginseng home, and it reacted the same way, barking at me nonstop–until I changed clothes and it stopped.”
Kiara recounted the previous incident.
Mario Yuno shook his head, feeling that something was amiss.
The Beautiful Lady was professionally trained; it usually doesn’t react much to scents, it wouldn’t even bark at stinky tofu.
Seeing that its owners seemed not to have caught on to its signals, the Beautiful Lady grew anxious, woofed once, and then suddenly sat up with a special posture that immediately sharpened Mario Yuno’s senses.
He took Kiara’s clothes inside the house and after a while came out with several bags, placing them in front of the Beautiful Lady.
“Beautiful Lady, sniff!” Mario Yuno gave the formal command, and upon hearing it, Beautiful Lady immediately stood up, sniffing each bag in turn before barking wildly at one in particular.
Mario Yuno opened it and, sure enough, inside was the piece of clothing belonging to Kiara.
“Kiara, who have you been in contact with recently?”
“Who… um, people from School and then there’s the Moore Clan.”
“You haven’t been to any special places?”
“Not really, no.”
“That’s not right.”
Mario Yuno felt something was wrong and started pacing back and forth. The Beautiful Lady’s reaction was too odd, but it was not Kiara’s first or second time at the Moore Clan’s place, so why would the Beautiful Lady only react these times?
“Think carefully, was there anyone at the Moore Clan these last two times that you haven’t seen before or have rarely seen?”
“Not seen before or rarely seen…” Kiara thought for a moment, “That would be Elizabeth Mu. Both times I met her there–right, last time when Beautiful Lady was supposed to be sent away, Elizabeth Mu had just come over, and Beautiful Lady seemed very agitated then as well.”
The Beautiful Lady was a retired drug detection dog and was particularly sensitive to the scent.
Mario Yuno’s eyes narrowed, feeling that something still wasn’t quite right. “Assuming she’s a drug addict, how could such a brief contact with her carry such a strong scent that even when you got back, it excited the Beautiful Lady so much? Besides, the Beautiful Lady’s reaction to special substances is to sit down, not to bark this much. Could it be…”
Could there be something else going on with Grace Bradford?
“I will have someone investigate her immediately to see if she is as simple as a travel agency Boss as you mentioned. During this time, don’t contact her, and don’t take any cases from her family.”
Kiara thought for a moment, then shook her head. “No, can’t do. Her father’s condition is already very severe, not like Jojo’s Father; Jojo’s Father has basically stabilized now, but Norris Old Master’s mood swings violently, especially since he sees me as his lifesaver. If I suddenly stop going, he won’t make it.”
“Kiara, you have to understand, the woman you’re dealing with might very well be…”
“I know, even if she has issues, her father is still my patient. Since I’ve taken the money, I must see it through.” Even though Kiara was fond of money, she was by no means unprincipled. Acting as an avenging angel was not part of her job as a doctor. She couldn’t abandon a patient just because the patient’s daughter might be problematic, as that would go against her professional ethics.
Seeing Mario Yuno so serious, Kiara blinked and put her hands together in prayer.
“So my omnipotent husband will definitely come up with a plan that works for both, right?”
Look at those starry eyes~
“Don’t think I’ll be soft-hearted because of your beauty tricks. Do you realize this concerns your safety? Who knows what she’ll do if you’re involved with such a person? If I’m not by your side, what will you and the child do?”
He was already reluctant to let Kiara get involved in any danger, and now that Kiara was pregnant, she was even more precious.
“I’m not the kind of person who rushes into danger knowing the risks. Right now, we have all the advantages, first, we know something is up with her, but she doesn’t know we’re onto her–it’s the perfect time to catch her. Second, if I suddenly leave, she’ll definitely get suspicious. If she runs away, the first thing she’ll do is come after me for revenge. Then, with her in the dark and us in the light, I’ll be in even more danger, won’t I? Why not just play along, preserve my professional integrity, and investigate her while I’m at it? Isn’t that a good idea?”
Kiara made a logical case, and Mario Yuno, not persuaded, was just about to give her a few more words of instruction when he saw her grab a tissue, start pulling them out one by one, and then wipe her completely tearless face–as if she were in the throes of misery.
“I’m out of favor, my husband doesn’t love me anymore.”
“Stop being ridiculous!”
“You just don’t love me anymore. First, you didn’t let me keep the Beautiful Lady, making me into an unjust person. Then you wouldn’t let me treat my patient, making me into someone without professional ethics. And next, you’ll say I don’t care about our child, that I’m pregnant and still unwilling to compromise!”
Mario Yuno clicked his tongue a couple of times. At moments like these, he found himself a little less fond of his daughter-in-law’s glib tongue–she was impossible to argue with!
Seeing him ‘Fire’ die down, Kiara touched her belly and muttered to herself.
“Baby, you’re a person of status now. You’re not even out here yet, and your dad and your grandmother only have eyes for you. I’m already has-been.”
“You’re distorting the truth! When have I ever cared about the child more than you?”
Mario Yuno found that after his wife got pregnant, she became significantly more difficult to deal with, and also a little unreasonable.
“You just don’t care about me! Now, when you consider things, it’s all about how to do this or that for the child. You completely disregard my feelings!” Kiara righteously declaimed, secretly amused by his flustered appearance, which clearly showed he was at a loss for words.
Hehe, in her Past life, she had to deal with the pregnancy all on her own. But dumping the minor annoyances on him now felt oh so comfortable!
“Baby girl, do you think your dad is being too unreasonable?” Kiara pushed further, speaking to her belly as if it were the most natural thing.
Mario Yuno was so annoyed that his veins were throbbing. In resignation, he also touched her belly and commanded, “Pipi! Kick your mother! She’s being ridiculous!”
He dared not scold Kiara, so he pinned his hopes on the baby instead.
“Are you being silly? She’s just over a month pregnant. Theoretically, it’s still just a tiny embryo. How could it kick? And what on earth is ‘Pipi’?”
Pipi shrimp, shall we go?
“I thought long and hard before I came up with that nickname! I’ve decided, before the baby is born, we’ll call it Pipi! It’s suitable for a boy or a girl, it’s endearing, and it will ensure our child grows up to be sturdy and healthy!”
