Everyone came to sit at the table when it was time to enjoy their meal and Wirata served rice to everybody. There were bowls and plates of food put on the table. The aroma was making Stefan mouth-watering.

"Wine, don't eat too salty,"

He scolded at her when seeing her pouring some soy sauce on her rice. The Thai did have ways to eat differently and lots of types of sauces that got him dizzy and Stefan still could not get his head around it.

"It isn't salty. I have made it quite plain, for mum and the president."

Wirata explained. But Stefan still did not believe, he proved it by reaching for a spoon to scoop the food on Wirata's plate and put it in his mouth. After that, he immediately grabbed the glass of water and drank the whole lot.

"Woh! That's too spicy, Wine. You can't eat like this!"

The man who did not eat spicy food said with a loud noise. Wirata shook her head. This was just three chilies!

"Sam can eat more spicy than me."

Wirata said. It was true that Sam liked eating very spicy food that not many westerners could not eat. The hot level was similar to the Thai standard. Wirata was lower than the standard if compared to most Thai people who loved eating chilies.

"When will Sam come?"

His father asked. Wirata noticed that Michael also liked Thai food. He ate slowly and liked vegetables stir-fried a lot as he seemed to eat it more than other menus.

"He just rang saying that he's coming for Christmas. At first, he said to come this week to join the company's party but I don't know why he changed his mind. "

Stefan answered his father and then scooped some food and put it on Wirata's plate. Michael saw the love that his son had shown to Wirata and he sighed.

After the party had finished, he probably would send Melissa back to Boston. Because as far as Michael could see, there was no sign of Stefan being interested and paying attention to Melissa. And Michael started to feel fond of the young lady as he still remembered how she lifted her feet to kick the lowlife bravely without fear.

He also saw a great change in his son and seeing that he was very happy. Michael realized in his heart that it was what he wanted after all... To see his children happy in life. And he knew Jacqueline wanted the same as him.

 Michael noticed that Jacqueline was enjoying a red curry with chicken. He then scooped some in a spoon and put it on her plate. Saw his wife lifted her face up.

"Thank you." She said softly but still had a hint of distance.

"Your welcome. And thank you for the baby corns and mushroom."

Michael said back. Making Jacqueline blushed a little as she did not think he would notice.

"Stefan loves them the same as you."

She replied. Michael nodded and stayed quiet. Wirata glanced at Stefan. He just sent her a sweet smile without noticing his mother's words. Wirata smiled back to the man who looked too happy.

When they finished. Stefan spoke up.

"I will take care of the dishes. Mom and dad, you two are better off to sit in the living room. Wine will serve you some fruit and tea in there later."

"It's my turn to do it. You can take Wirata to rest and I guess there is medicine after the meal as well."

Jacqueline said. She knew as she used to be pregnant before, twice!

"Yes, mother. You are brilliant. So I will let you and dad catch up with each other."

Stefan did not hesitate to take his mother's offer. So they all stood up and moved off the table.

"I won't take long. There will be fruits and pumpkin in coconut cream as dessert. I will serve it with tea for you." Wirata confirmed.

"Don't worry, sweetheart. You go take vitamins."

Jacqueline said to Wirata with her kind voice. Wirata kissed on her cheek and hugged her waist. Then Stefan joined them by kissing on his mother and Wirata.

"Wooh! I love my family. Dad, come and join us."

Stefan said to his father who was standing two meters away. His mother hurried to break the circle as if she was afraid that Stefan's father would really join them!

"I will help you with the dishes."

Michael said to Jacqueline after being silent all this time. He was amused to see her quickly broke away when Stefan asked him to join in the hugging. It reminded him far back to their time together. He wished he could turn back the clock.

"Thanks very much, dad. See you in a bit."

Stefan said to his father then he took Wirata to the bedroom.

Jacqueline did not say anything. She chose to wash it by hand because there were only a few dishes. Normally, at her home, the servants had duties to do the household works. But now after she listened to her son, she wanted to please him that his lecture was not a waste. Also, in her heart, she wanted to torture the person who volunteered to help her!

****

 "What do you think?"

After arrived in the bedroom, he wanted to get some compliments immediately. Wirata shook her head and laughed with amusement to see the big man acting like a big boy who wanted her to praise him. She could only hope that their baby would not be a copy of the father too much.

"You are the best. I am very proud of you."

"So I must be rewarded."

He always hoped for prizes.

"Yes, a golf club award."

She teased him. He widened his eyed.

 "Oh, no. I want the best Wine as a reward, please. You don't understand my feelings. I have my love in my arms and could not do anything I love to do to her for two weeks! It's killing me. My dicks hurt so much and it misses you so much."

The shameless man spoke without feeling anything wrong with his open statement.

 Wirata blushed because she still a woman and she was not Stefan Mackenzie, who had got a thick face!

"I wanted you to rub and touch me but I was afraid you would think I am lusty and not good at being patient" He carried on moaning.

"Stop complaining and please bring me the medicine quickly. Your parents are still out there waiting for dessert and tea. "

Wirata reminded him why they were here.

"No hurries. Give them some time to make up and catch up with each other. Now I want to talk to my baby."

 He said and did not wait for permission, carried Wirata to put on the bed immediately.

"Hey! Don't be naughty."

Wirata shouted with giggles when he bent down to kiss her stomach and pretended to bite her like a vampire .

"Don't be an obstacle between the father and his baby. Let me pull your skirt up so that I can speak to my baby directly."

He said and pulled her cotton skirt up without waiting for her to say yes first. Then he put his face onto her belly immediately.

"Hello, baby. Tell your daddy now if you are a boy or a girl."

The big man spoke to her belly with the threatening voice to the baby! Then he planted kissed all over her stomach making Wirata laugh out loud with tickling sensation.

"What? Say it again, baby. I can't hear you. Huh? Do I have to go in there to hear you clearly? Right?"

Wirata shook her head to the crafty man who still not give up and tried every way to get lucky!
