Happy Reading😊

Nanon continued to tell stories and did not stop chattering while on the way to the mansion. The little boy looked cheerful and happy to be in New's lap. Even more cheerful than the previous days.

"Looks like Nano's mood is good today," Tay said turning to New.

"Yes, maybe because he meets his daddy after a few days without seeing him," said New lightly.

"Nano is happy because tomorrow Nano will meet his friends at school," he said Nano innocently as he looked at Tay with his round eyes.

"Pffft!" New turned his face to the side while stifling laughter.

Tay's gaze suddenly turned flat when he heard his son's remarks that were too honest at the wrong time. He felt he had fallen into the deepest abyss after flying the highest peaks of the sky. "Now you're the one destroying Daddy's mood."

Nanon looked at Tay, confused because he did not understand what Tay was saying.

Now Tay turned towards New. "Your thighs don't hurt?" he asked lightly.

"Ah, take it easy. I'm used to holding Nano, so it doesn't matter," New replied with a smile.

"But now things are different, you are pregnant with my child. What if it will hurt the baby in your womb."

"It won't, Nano also won't press on my stomach. There's nothing to worry about," New reassured Tay.

"I've been waiting for a long time and expecting our child, Hin. You also know that yourself, so I don't want anything bad to happen with our baby. I want to protect it so that it grows and develops well." concluded Tay.

New touched Tay's shoulder and squeezed him lightly. "I will also look after our child as best I can, Te. I will not let anything happen to him. I'm the one who will give birth, so I will protect my baby. Calm down, now I will be more careful about everything."

"I believe in you, Hin. You are a good Mopa, and I can see that. It's just that I want to contribute greatly to the development of our child. Because I want to be a father who is responsive and cares for his children. It's enough that I treat my son so badly and unfairly. I don't want to do that anymore. I don't want Nanon's brother to feel the same pain his brother felt because of his parent's indifference. It was the biggest mistake I ever committed to my son. Even for how long. nor will I ever be able to make up for the bad memories I gave Nano since he was born," said Tay in a low voice as he looked sadly at his son.

New's gazed turned wistful. "You're no longer the mean guy you used to be, Te. Now you've turned into a great father figure to Nano."

"I'm still trying to be the father Nano hopes for, even though I'm still lacking a lot," concluded Tay sadly.

"You've tried hard. And I know how you struggled when approaching Nano. Even though at first Nano refused and had a hard time accepting you, you still didn't give up on improving your relationship with Nano. And because of your sincerity, finally, Nano slowly began to open his heart and accept your existence as his father."

The corner of Tay's lips twitched upwards into a wistful smile as he stared proudly at his little son who had a big heart because he was willing to accept someone who hurt him the most.

Arriving at the mansion, they gathered together and joked in the main room. Fun chatting, they do not realize that it is already noon. Finally, after looking at the clock, Tay, New, and Nanon went out of the room to the dining room preparing to eat lunch.

"You didn't eat anything this morning, so now you have to eat a lot," said New as he brought Tay the side dishes.

"Don't get me too much, New," Tay warned.

"Come on, your six-pack stomach won't disappear just because you ate a lot this time," concluded New as he put the plate filled with food right on Tay's front table.

"Still, I have to keep my weight and shape," replied Tay.

"You think too much about your body shape, who do you want to show it to? huh?"

"Do I have any other man besides you?" Tay asked back.

"Nobody knows," said New lightly without sin.

Tay made an embarrassed face. "I just feel uncomfortable with a fat body."

"There is nothing wrong with being fat. Those who are overweight are mostly much happier than those who have a good body shape. Because of what? Because they can eat whatever they want. There is no need to limit the food they will eat and also don't bother with a strict diet just to maintain a volatile body shape. So don't mistake fat people."

Tay raised one eyebrow when he heard New's extremely harsh tone of voice, as well as the look on his face that looked unfriendly. "You don't have to talk to me like that. There's no reason you should be offended, anyway," said Tay.

"No reason? I'm pregnant right now. And just waiting for a few months I will gain weight. Are you also going to protest against my fat body shape?"

"Hey, I never comment on a person's body shape. I comment on my body shape. After all, it's no use for me to insult someone's physique. I respect then too, so you don't have to scream at me," replied Tay firmly.

"I'm not screaming, I'm just issuing my opinion," replied New lightly.

"Is it necessary to express an opinion to the point of talking harshly with your husband?" Tay's question immediately made New silent.

New chose to remain silent and did not reply to Tay's words. Then he took some food for himself while putting on a bent face.

Tay sighed heavily when he saw New's sullen face. "I hate the hormones of pregnant man," he muttered softly, but could still be heard by New, who has a sharp ear.

"Huh! now don't ever try to touch me again," said New curtly when he overheard Tay's words.

"How could that be?" Tay protested not to accept it.

"Because you wanted to have lots of children, but don't want to go through the long and complicated process. You should be grateful, because it's not you who feel the pain, and it's not your body that's damaged. But you can only complain even though I'm pregnant." New took out all his anger emotionally.

"Hey, calm down we are still at the dining table," said Tay warning New to look at the situation and condition when he was releasing his anger. Since they are not alone, Nanon was also sitting with them.

"You just make me angry," said New irritably.

"Tay sighed softly. "Yes, yes, I'm sorry. Let's not fight. This is a dining table, it's not appropriate to argue here. It's better if we finish our lunch before it gets cold," he said in a tone that was softer than before so as not to back to raise New's unstable emotions.

New chuckled and started eating his lunch. Meanwhile, Tay was silent and no longer protested the look on New's face, which was unsightly for anyone.

Should he put on a face like that?
