Mine! No Objections Allowed (Mikhaiah Adaptation)

Chapter 61 : Cooking Skills

Because of the sweat, a few strands of Aiah's hair were still sticking to her face. Her cheeks were red and, to get away from Mikha, her hands were on Mikha's chest.

The four faces were confused for a long while before Aiah finally carefully said ,

"- Hello, Tita."

Mrs. Lim finally came back to herself, inclining her head as a reply. "What did you guys do, why are you guys sweating so much?"

Mikha said, "Working out."

Mrs. Lim's eyes widened. "Working out? How could you work out when you're pregnant? Hurry and go see the doctor with me." Putting down the bags, she was even about to dash forward.

Aiah hurriedly jumped off Mikha and waved a hand, saying, "Tita, I'm not pregnant."

"You're not pregnant?"

"Yeah." Aiah's face reddened. "Those news are fake, I'm not pregnant... I'm just fat."

Mrs. Lim was silent for a while before nodding and saying, " –Ah, it's good that you're fat, that's good."

Aiah was torn between laughing and crying. What was with all of this?

Mikha asked, "Mom, why are you here?"

"Me, ah." Mrs. Lim coughed. "I'm here to see you, can't I do that? Tell me, how long has it been since you came back, huh? And you've never even visited home!"

"I've been busier with work recently." After saying that, Mikha caught Aiah's waist.

"She's all sweaty. We'll shower first, let's talk later."

Aiah basically escaped upstairs. Once she was certain that Mrs. Lim couldn't hear her, she anxiously said, "What should I do? Your mother saw me like this! And I - I - I'm dressed too casually, I don't even have make-up on. Oh my god!"

"You'll have to meet them sooner or later." Mikha didn't mind so much, helping her adjust the temperature of the water in the bathroom first.

How could I be in the mood for a shower?  Aiah thought.

She chased Mikha out and slammed the door, digging out her phone to send Maloi a message.

[Goddess Aiah: Waaah! What do I do, Mikha's mother is in his house! What should I do?! Answer me! This is very urgent!😭] 

[Maloi: Noooo! Did she see you while you were playing with your 'tools'?!? That can't be salvaged, just accept your fate!]

Aiah curled up in the tub, hugging her knees, her little face all wrinkled up.

[Goddess Aiah: No such thing, the tools and equipment she had mentioned earlier was all exercise equipment, would you believe that?! I was forced to exercise for an entire afternoon! I was so shocked! No one can be more pitiful!]

[Maloi: I see... hmm you sound rather regretful.]

[Goddess Aiah: Let's not talk about that... there's a huge window in her bathroom. How about this, you drive under the window and I'll jump in, we can talk about this after getting away first.]

[Maloi: You're dating properly, why are you treating it like you're sneaking around? I'm not going, you can do whatever you want in the bathroom.]

OK.

This thin, cling wrap-like sistership has reached its end today.
