MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 3 - Season 9 Episodes 2

Michelle was wearing a slim, black dress paired with a red hat. The dress was simple yet very fashionable, and it suited her quite well.

She also wore only light makeup.

Even though she still had a youthful face, her appearance was marked by womanly charm.

The grey winter sky hung above their heads. Forecasts suggested that there would be light snowfall in Lexingport City that evening.

As Michelle walked on, she turned her eyes skyward and asked, “Do you think it’s really going to snow tonight?”

“I don’t know. I guess we’ll see by then,” Helen said with a smile.

Leon walked beside Michelle. Seeing the sparkle of excitement in her eyes, he asked, “Do you like snow? If you do, I should take you to the Snow Village when we have the time.”

“Thank you, Leon.” With a sweet smile on her face, Michelle glanced at Leon. Then she turned her eyes to the sky once again. “Well, if it does snow tonight, that would be the first snow of this winter in Lexingport City. They say that lovers who witness the winter’s first snow will stay together for a lifetime.”

While she spoke, she stole a glance at Leon and looked away quickly. She thought he didn’t notice it.

Looking straight ahead, Leon couldn’t help smiling gently.

When they arrived at the front door, Emma pulled Michelle aside. She looked at her with eyes full of concern. Asking her to turn around, she observed her closely. She was trying to see if she has totally recovered.

On the other hand, Leon didn’t go inside immediately. He just stood by the door and looked at the happiness on Michelle’s face. “Helen, I won’t go back tonight,” he told her.

“Mr. Lu, your room is always ready. We clean it every day so you can stay any time you wish,” Helen answered considerately. “And also, Miss He’s room isn’t far from yours. So if you want to check on her, it’ll be very convenient.”

Leon was pleasantly surprised at how thoughtful she was. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he pressed his fist to his lips and coughed.

Helen had helped him out many times in the past, and he was really grateful for her service.

She smiled at him and said, “Mrs. Shi originally wanted the two of you to share the same room. However, she was concerned that Miss He would feel shy with this setup. So instead, she asked me to arrange a room for her that was close to yours.”

Hearing this, Leon felt embarrassed, and his ears flushed red.

He felt that his sister was teasing him about his relationship with Michelle. Looking away, he hurriedly stepped inside.

In the living room, there were only three people—Michelle, Emma and James. John still had some things to finish, so he was still at his office. On the other hand, Nina had to pick up her kids from school, and she had just arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Soon, the car passed the iron gate of the North Yard and proceeded to the castle.

Inside the car, Nina gave instructions to her children. “Kids, Michelle is going to stay with us for a couple of days, so is Leon. You can play with him, but don’t disturb Michelle, okay? She has just been discharged from the hospital, and needs time to rest. Don, don’t run to her and hug her, as she may fall. Do you hear me?”

The kids answered in chorus, “I know, Mom.”

“Great.” Glancing at the two kids, she reached out and ruffled their hair. Finally, the car slowed down to a stop. “Alright, we’re home.”

A servant approached and opened the car door for the children. Just as Van and Don stepped out of their car, they heard a car roaring not too far away.

Nina got out of the car as well. The three of them turned their heads toward the sound and saw a yellow Lamborghini parked by the roadside. It was very bright and eye-catching.

Just by looking at the plate number, they already knew who it was.

“Look, Mom. That’s Uncle Adrian’s car!” Don said, stretching out his finger to point at it.

“I guess Uncle Henry is also there,” Van added.
As the kids expected, they saw Adrian and Henry step out of the car. Adrian looked dashing and classy. He wore thin clothes despite the winter.

Wearing a pair of eyeglasses, Henry looked like a gentleman. His manly hairstyle added to his appeal as well. He had been working as the CEO of Ye Group for a few years, and he looked a little domineering.

“Vance, Donald,” Adrian greeted them with a smile. He had begun to use their full names instead.

He then bent over and picked up one of them in his arms. Since he couldn’t tell the kids apart, he just decided to choose one randomly.

The one he picked up was Van. Stretching out his arms, Don looked at him and said, “Uncle Adrian, can’t you hold both of us?

I want you to lift me up as well.”

Seeing the situation, Henry stepped closer and said, “Hey, Don, let me pick you up instead. Your uncle Adrian has a poor waist these days, so he can’t handle two kids at the same time. Is that alright?”

“Uncle Adrian, what’s wrong with your waist?” Don asked. He was always curious about everything.

Glancing at them, Nina looked as if she was using her eyes to warn them not to talk nonsense in front of her kids.

Knowing what she meant, Henry couldn’t help chuckling. “Oh my. Nina, you misunderstood. He got too drunk a few days ago, and he bumped his waist into something. That’s why.”

Feeling embarrassed, Adrian smiled awkwardly and added, “It was an accident.”

“Did you go to the hospital to have it checked, Uncle Adrian?” Van was a sweet boy, and he really cared about Adrian.

Seeing how the boy was so concerned for him, Adrian felt touched. “Don’t worry. I’m fine.”

“It’s a bit cold out here. Let’s get inside,” Leon said to them. “We’re going to celebrate Michelle’s release from the hospital today. Emma and James are already here.”

“That’s great! Oh, the North Yard is going to be so festive today!” Adrian gently shook the kid in his arms. “Do you like it when there are a lot of people in your home, Van?”

“Yes, I do, Uncle. I like it very much,” Van answered excitedly.

Don turned to Adrian and said, “I like it, too. It’s so fun having a lot of people around.”

“You really are a lively kid, Donald.” Finally, Adrian was able to tell the two kids apart. The one in his arms was Vance, while Henry got the playful one, Donald.

Raising his head, Don quipped, “Of course, Uncle. I’m a kid, and all kids like to play around.”
“That you are, Don,” Adrian answered, chuckling. He then lowered his gaze and looked at Van. “What about you, Van? Don’t you like playing around? It seems like all you want to do is study.”

“There’s nothing wrong with that.” Henry spoke up, looking at Adrian. Adrian answered, “Well, you are right.”

Hearing this, Henry looked away.

“By the way, why didn’t you bring Cherry with you?” Nina asked.

Adrian and Henry had been raising Cherry as if she were their own daughter. They usually took her with them wherever they went apart from her going to school.

Whenever they came to North Yard, they would bring Cherry here so that she could play with Van and Don.

It was strange that they didn’t bring her there today.

In a calm voice, Henry explained, “Well, there’s something important we need to discuss with Mr. Shi. That was why we didn’t bring Cherry along with us today.”

“I see. John will be here later,” Nina said as she glanced at her watch. “He’ll be here in about ten minutes. Since you’ve said that it’s an important matter, you can wait for him in the study.”

Ten minutes later, John arrived and went straight to the study. Meanwhile, the others were playing with Van and Don in the living room.

“What’s is it?” John asked as he entered the study. He took off his tie and hung his coat on the back of his chair. In a sweet gesture, he reached out and wrapped his arms around Nina’s slender waist.

The two of them always stuck together.

Pushing his glasses back against the bridge of his nose, Henry told them the shocking news.

“Vivian is pregnant.”

“She is still in prison,” Adrian added. He looked at Nina and John with pleading eyes. “I hope you’ll allow her to leave the jail for the sake of the baby.”

“We all know that the prison is no place for a pregnant woman,” Henry said, nodding.
