Kent POV 

It was Sunday and I'm so excited to know the result of Lucy's ultrasound. I have a great feeling that the baby in her belly was a boy. She always nagging me about the spicy foods she craves and sometimes she's stubborn to keep herself inside the villa. 

I called Eloisa too that I will be home late because of an emergency business meeting. I bought her favorite fruits apples and grapes. I did some groceries too so she can't nag at me anymore. 

"I'm home!", I stepped inside and saw Lucy preparing our lunch. 

She's still charming and curvy with the flowery duster I bought for her. Even her belly is now six months old, she's still sexy for me. 

" Oh, you're on time! I'm about to serve our lunch!", she looks excited about her menu than my presence. 

"Was it tastier than me?", I slowly lean closer behind her back and wrapped my arms around her waist. 

She holds my hands and caresses them.&nbs
