Chapter 687: A Martyr

The next morning, Kenzie woke up not feeling well. She knew she had to get up and prepare for work but she felt reluctant to move.

"Ah, I don't want to go to work!" she complained to Daryl as she tried to get up from bed. She was sitting up in bed with her eyes still closed as she yawned several times. It was already six in the morning, the time she usually woke to get ready for her day.

Daryl chuckled and pulled her back to bed as he whispered, "Then don't go. I will take care of everything for you. Rest for as long as you want. Just do whatever pleases you, Baby. Sleep, eat and have fun today."

"But I don't want to part from you either. I want to stay here and hug and kiss you," Kenzie retorted with pouty lips, hugging her husband tightly and burying her face in his chest. Maybe it was due to her pregnancy but she was feeling too lazy to even move and all she felt like doing was to smooch her husband most of the time.

Darly pinched her nose and said, "Hmm, but one of us needs to work, Baby, or else things will pile up. You have a lot of things to take care of too but I will continue with the rest. I will also handle your Aunt Lenny for you. I just don't want you to get stressed. It's not good for our baby or your health. From now on you need to focus only on your pregnancy and take care of both our fathers while I will take care of the rest."

"Oh gosh, I did so well in choosing you. You are so reliable, I'm so lucky," Kenzie whispered as she raised her head and showered Daryl's neck with her teasing licks.

Daryl growled and whispered, "You should stop that. I need to get up now and prepare myself for a long day of work."

"Then you should get up..." Kenzie whispered in his ear before teasingly licking and nibbling his earlobe. Her hands started their journey downwards.

"You're so hard Darling," she teased, caressing her husband's hard rod beneath his boxers.

"Ahhh..." Daryl groaned and urgently rolled on top of his wife as he mumbled, "You're so naughty. It's your fault if I am late getting to work."

"You're the Boss Darling so you can go to work anytime," Kenzie whispered before her lips were sealed by her hungry husband who had become too gentle in making love to her after finding out about her pregnancy.

As much as he wanted to just lay there beside his wife, Daryl knew he had to start working on the various pending issues so he immediately left her bed to prepare. Kenzie looked at her husband's back and immediately rose up from the bed to follow her husband into the bathroom.

"Baby? What are you doing?" Daryl asked when he felt Kenzie hug him from behind while he was taking a shower.

"Let's shower together."

Daryl chuckled and whispered in a hoarse voice, "Geez, we will end up doing a lot of things the least of which would be showering together Baby."

He fought the urge to just stay and lock up his wife at home but he must fight hard as he really had a lot of issues to fix and wrap up. He turned around to face his wife who had that beautiful smile on her face as she said, "Bathe me. I'm too lazy to even bath myself."

Daryl wrinkled his face and murmured, "Ahh, I will not just bathe you, Baby, I will shower you with so much love."

And he turned off the shower and leaned over to give Kenzie an ardent kiss, leaving her breathless but clearly asking for more. The couple simply could not get enough of each other. Daryl took her gently while they were still standing and she leaned on the shower wall and supported herself by clinging her arms around his neck.

Her heart and knees were trembling with Darl's kisses and whispers of love as he took her to the gate of heaven with his gentle lovemaking.

She felt weak but she was burning with passion for him and his touch and kisses never failed to consume her inside and out.

"I love you," Kenzie whispered as she neared her climax.

"And I love you more," Daryl whispered lovingly, making a teardrop from her eyes. All her efforts in making Daryl fall for her had finally paid. She had made the right decision in pursuing him because she knew she would never love another man as much as she loved him.

The couple left soon after they finished their breakfast together. As agreed, Daryl dropped Kenzie at the hospital first to meet her father. He also greeted his father-in-law before going directly to the Chua Group Building. Daryl had a tight schedule as he too had to take care of something at his father's company because Harry was still in the hospital.

Cris was already waiting in Kenzie's office when he arrived.

"Your signature is the only thing required here, Sir. This will give you an authorization for everything as an acting CEO in case Ma'am Kenzie would be unavailable," Cris explained as she handed Daryl the documents.

"Hmm, this won't be permanent since Brix will soon take over as the CEO," Daryl commented nonchalantly, making Cris whisper, "Sir?"

Daryl raised his head to meet Cris' eyes as he added, "We will proceed with plan B Cris. This means that I will personally handle everything pertaining to the problem with Kenzie's aunt, so I want you to set up a private meeting with Kenzie's Aunt as soon as possible. I will talk to her before I decide to proceed with things legally, as per Kenzie's plan. I might be able to get her to sign the documents." Daryl reassured Cris with a smile.

He managed to get all the details he needed to push Kenzie's aunt into signing the documents. And when he talked it out with her, he was confident that Lenny Chua would end up signing the document.

"Oh, don't schedule any meetings for tomorrow as I and Kenzie will be traveling to attend Kyle and Sarah's wedding." Daryl reminded Cris who noted it down.

Kyle and Sarah were having a beach wedding in the province that was a three hours drive from the Capital City and Kenzie was excited to witness it.

Daryl heaved a sigh as he recalled how he and Kenzie had only had a simple church wedding and he wanted to give her something grand but there were a lot of matters to fix first not to mention the health of both their fathers.

He massaged his temples as just the thought of him taking care of three groups alone was making his head spin. But he would not let his wife get stressed about this and so he would take care of them all.

"How are you and Brix doing?" he asked Cris. Kenzie was also worried about the two and wanted to check on Cris but Daryl stopped his wife by telling her to wait until Cris contacted her first.

"We are doing good, Sir. Brix will not agree with his mother and I will not become a martyr either like Ma'am Kenzie has suggested." Cris answered timidly because she had received a simple message from Kenzie yesterday stating, 'Don't you dare act like a martyr because my father and I will not appreciate it. We would hate for anyone to sacrifice for us in such simple matters! I'm just telling you in advance so you don't even consider it in your thoughts.'

Daryl laughed as he was aware that Kenzie had sent that message. Kenzie had told him that she would not pester Cris but would send just one message that Cris becoming a martyr would definitely not get her any appreciation from either Kenzie or her father.

"I'm just confused. How come Ma'am appreciates Harry's act of martyrdom?" Cris could not help asking Daryl.

Daryl chuckled and said, "That's a different case, Cris. The matter involves a life which is very different from her fight with her Aunt Lenny because Kenzie still has other weapons to fight back with. My lovely wife only appreciates martyrdom if it involves matters of life and death?"

"It makes sense now. I will just check if the documents are ready and any that need your urgent attendance today. I know you have to report next at the Cha Group before lunch." Cris said before leaving the office.

Daryl grabbed his mobile phone and called Kimmy who had volunteered to take care of his stepbrother.

"How is Harry? Any news from the doctor? When will he be discharged?" Daryl asked.

"No news, Sir. Let him recuperate well Sir, before making his start work. Geez, he's been working for years in that company and I heard he did not take even one break or even go for a simple vacation, so why does it sound like you can't wait for him to start working again?"
