Chapter 701: The Best Gift
At the Sy Law Firm Building.
"Finally!" Jorge burst out as he entered Daryl's office.
"I've been waiting for your arrival!" added Jorge as he personally put some important files on Daryl's desk.
"Seriously, Jorge? Are you that happy to see me?" Daryl asked with a grin. He had just arrived at his own office at the Sy Law Firm after wrapping up some important matters at the Chua Group.
"Of course! I will now hand over the crown to you as the man of the hour so I can enjoy a good day's vacation looking at the sunset and waves with my wife and baby," Jorge mumbled dreamily, making Daryl laugh.
"Off you go now! Shoo!" Daryl laughed.
"Yes, I will definitely leave now!" Jorge said and immediately ran out of the room to go back home. He could not believe that Liam was enjoying his vacation and here Jorge was killing himself with work.
He could not keep his excitement and he immediately called his wife Miley.
"Wifey, are you and Georgina ready? I'm on my way home now and we will leave as soon as I arrive," he said and he entered the car as soon as his driver opened the door for him.
"Is it okay to leave now? Father and Mom Chelsy have gone to the doctor now for confirmation of her pregnancy," Miley said in a hesitant tone. Last night, Mom Chelsey had tested positive for pregnancy.
"I mean shouldn't we celebrate with them later?" Miley added.
"Hmm, what do you think? I'm honestly okay with anything. I just thought you would love to visit the beach after such a long time?" Jorge commented because he knew his wife loved going to the beach and having a swim.
"I will ask Father first. Let me call him," Miley said and ended the call so she could call her father.
Meanwhile, Ram was feeling overwhelmed as he sat beside Chelsy waiting for her turn to be examined by the doctor. Chelsy underwent all the tests required and the results had been submitted to her doctor.
He held Chelsy's hand seeing how restless she looked.
"Dear, relax," he whispered with a smile as he pulled Chelsy into his arms.
"Yeah, I'm just nervous. I mean I heard that pregnancy test kits are not very reliable," she whispered. She honestly wanted to have her own child with Ram. She too wanted to go through the experience of being a mother like Lana and Miley. Chelsy was not getting any younger so she was happy to have at least one baby.
Soon her name was called and Ram accompanied her inside the Doctor's cabin.
The Doctor had a wide smile on his face which made Chelsy smile brightly in turn.
"Congratulations, you're four weeks pregnant," the doctor said and shook her and Ram's hands.
It was not Ram's first time to be a father but he was utterly glad there was going to be another addition to their family. The doctor briefed the couple about Chelsey's pregnancy.
As soon as the check-up ended, Chelsy went to the restroom and Ram waited for her outside. He grabbed his mobile phone to convey the good news to his daughter Miley but his mobile phone rang and it was Miley calling him so he quickly answered.
"Of course, dear. You and Jorge should go and enjoy yourself. Don't worry about me. I have plans to celebrate with your mom Chelsy alone. So we can all have a family celebration once you all return home, okay?" Ram said.
When Chelsy got back Ram held her hands. Ram dropped Chelsy off at the office at her request since she still had some pending work. And Ram took the time to prepare something special for his wife for dinner.
He had never done something like this before but he hoped he was making things right.
Chelsy finally got home in the evening. The driver picked her up from the office and she wondered why Ram had not come to pick her up. She went directly to their bedroom when their helper informed her that Ram was waiting for her in their room.
She opened the door and gasped seeing the ambiance of their spacious room. There were scented candles and flower petals all over the room to welcome her.
She could not believe that Ram had prepared something like this for her. She followed the petals and candles and they led her to their balcony and when she was halfway, she heard the strumming of a guitar.
"Oh my God," she whispered because she hadn't known that her husband could play the guitar though she was aware that Ram was a good singer like Miley and Liam.
She looked at him admiringly as she paused at the sliding door to listen to him sing. She adored him.
Some day, when I'm awfully low When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you And the way you look tonight
Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you And the way you look tonight
With each word, your tenderness grows Tearin' my fear apart
And that laugh, wrinkles your nose Touches my foolish heart
Lovely, never, never change Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
A-just the way you look tonight
She had heard those lyrics and the song many times but tonight she felt like she was hearing the best music of her whole life. Tears welled up in her eyes and Ram approached her for a hug and kiss as he whispered, "I love you, Chelsy. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful gift."
"You prepared all this?" Chelsy said looking at the candle-lit dinner table.
"Yes, I cooked everything for our dinner tonight. I also have something for you," Ram said as he handed her a box. Chelsy opened it and she gasped.
"These are expensive, you didn't have to," she whispered, looking at the exclusive jewelry set inside the box. Each ruby was enhanced by a cluster of pear-shaped white marquise diamonds.
"I want to, okay. It's for my lovely wife and this is nothing. Let's see how good these will look on you," Ram whispered as he helped Chelsy to put on the necklace, the earrings, and the ring.
"Thank you," Chelsy whispered and kissed Ram. She felt so special.
She had a playful grin as she jested, "Ah! But the best gift ever is watching you playing the guitar and singing a song for me. You should sing me a song more often."
Ram scratched his head and said, "I honestly only know how to play that one song."
