"Yes... I understand, Boss."
"24 hours, Becca."
Becca nodded. "Anything else?"
"It took Lena one night to get the blueprint of the Huang"s secret base... Becca, I don"t know if you are an a.s.set or dead weight."
Becca"s heart stopped. "I am sorry, Boss. I will a.s.sure you that I am not dead weight. I will have your proof in 24 hours and retrieve the two bombs back."
"That"s good." Kris placed his gun back on the sofa and patted Becca"s head. "You"re always family, don"t fail me or my mother."
Becca smiled. "KRIS TOUCHED ME!" Her heart was very happy. It was the first time that Kris voluntary praised her nor touched her.
"I won"t!"
"Leave now."
"Yes, Boss!"
Becca left with a big smile on her face.
On the other hand, once the door closed and Becca left, Kris immediately went to the kitchen and rubbed his hand with soap several times.
He breathed in and out. He looked at his hand and felt that it was slightly shaking. He walked to Lena"s bedroom and jumped onto the bed.
He lifted up the blanket and hugged Lena tightly. He could sense that Lena felt his presence and made a noise of waking up.
"Go back to sleep..." Kris whispered to her ear and he hugged her. He closed his eyes and breathed in the sweet smell of her.
After Kris felt like his mind and body were calmed... he gently kissed Lena on the forehead and then got off the bed.
He hid away the gun somewhere in Lena"s apartment and then grabbed his phone.
"Yes, Boss?"
"Becca will go back to meet with Tyler tonight or tomorrow morning. I want you to have eyes on her. If she does not bring back the two bombs he made for him, take her out on the spot."
"And if she does bring back the bombs?"
"Go with the initial plan." Kris smirked. "I want no mistakes."
"Yes, Boss!"
Kris hung up the call but then called his mother.
"h.e.l.lo, Mom."
"Kris! I heard on the news that there was a bomb with the case against Lena. Is she alright?"
"No. She"s pretty shaken up. I"ll be taking off work to spend time with her."
"Aiya... my sweet child. How about I come to visit her tomorrow and make her some good warm soup?"
"No. Don"t come to visit us at all."
"Why?!" Madam Li raised her voice. "I have not seen her ages and you can"t stop me from coming to see her."
"It seems like my mother was not serious when she said she wanted grandchildren. If that is so, you can come to visit us anytime."
"Of course I want grandchildren, I don"t see why.... oh. OH!!!" Madam Li finally realized what Kris meant by not coming to visit them. "You enjoy your break. I will take good care of the company. Collin is on break too right? He"s getting married next week. Don"t worry, you both have your fun, I will be a good Madam."
Madam Li squealed and hung up the call.
Collin was indeed getting married next week. But that doesn"t mean Kris can"t prepare for his own wedding... right? He smiled.
He had a few more phone calls to make before he go and make dinner for Lena. He made sure to call her parents and tell them that she was fine. He will take her back home when she is better.
Shen Mao was yelling at Kris about him not taking good care of his daughter while Shen Milli was telling Kris to not return Lena back to them.
Kris just smiled and talked to both of them normally.
After he was done, he went to the kitchen to see what items Lena have. He noticed the fridge was very split. She had some items here and half of it in his place.
He was wondering if they should really just get a place together already so that they don"t have to keep splitting things and choosing where to stay for the night.
He went up to his penthouse, grab some more ingredients and brought it back down to Lena"s Kitchen. He was still not a master chef, but he can still make something fulfilling for Lena.
Kris made sure to check on Lena very so often.
Kris called K9 and K12 to check up on Jackson. His parents arrived already and they are with him. They already set a place for the parents and a nearby hotel for them.
It looked like there was a lot for Kris to take care of, but none of these is something new. He was used to the multiple tasks.
After a while when he was done cooking already, Lena finally woke up. She opened her bedroom door slightly and just stared at Kris who was sitting on the sofa, looking at some paperwork.
"You"re awake?" Kris looked up to her.
"Yeah..." Lena spoke. "I was just starting to see if there are any bloodstains on my carpet."
"No... if my sweetie says no then there will be none." Kris got up and kissed Lena on the forehead "Why don"t you go ready and I"ll reheat dinner?"
Lena nodded.
After a few minutes, she got out and Kris was just done reheating the food. She felt like she just ate a bit ago and was not hungry... but she did not want to deny Kris" food.
As she ate, Kris told her that everything has been taken care of. He didn"t give her details but just to a.s.sure her that everything was settled.
After dinner, they watched some movies together, took a shower together and then went to bed.
Lena had been sleeping a lot, so the next morning, she woke up very early. She made sure Kris was still next to her before getting up from the bed.
She got ready and this time, she made breakfast for them. Kris woke up shortly afterward.
"So, when are you going out?" Lena asked him as she handed him his plate of food.
"9. I"ll be gone for only a few hours regarding your case then I"ll be home by 1 pm for lunch," Kris replied.
"Okay."
"I also have a real estate agent coming here by then."
"Why?"
"I don"t want you to be lonely while I am gone. You can look at some nice homes with her while I am out. And then on Monday, we can go and look at the top 5 you choose."
"Our home?" Lena smiled. "A home for just us... or a marriage home?"
"Whatever you want. Both.. all of them, whatever. Any home with Lena is home. You will be the woman of the house so you can choose whatever, baby." Kris got up and kissed Lena on the lips. "And breakfast was tasty.... but it was missing some love."
Lena chuckled and kissed him back.
The doctor said Lena should exercise when she can so after breakfast and resting a bit, Lena and Kris went to exercise for an hour. They both took another shower together and then Lena helped Kris get dress.
