The General Who Hates Me 328 Belly Fa

"How is your grandma?" Old Madam Liu asked Zach during dinner."She's recuperating well. She will be discharged from the hospital soon," Zach replied, appreciating the concern his grandmother was showing."I'm not sure if it's a good idea since I haven't done anything like this before, but Thea suggested we have a family picnic this coming weekend." Old Madam Liu said hesitatingly."Hmm, that's a good idea," seconded Keira, followed by a wink at Thea. Then she added excitedly, "I will prepare the food!" Old Madam Liu gulped, and her face sank, but she quickly composed herself and changed it into a smile as she said, "Keira dear, why don't we just let Thea prepare the food…? Why don't you take care of the drinks and some other things that we would need instead?"Keira was trying hard to suppress her laughter because of the subtle way Old Madam Liu attempted to deflect her offer. She knew the real reason was because she was horrible at cooking. Keira had tried to prepare all the recipes according to Thea's instruction, but for some reason, the dish always ended up bland or salty. In short, she could not make any of the recipes tasty at all. Old Madam Liu had, of course, tasted all of those failed recipes...Keira pouted her lips, feigning disappointment, and asked in a pitiful voice, "Why, Grandma? Do you prefer Thea's cooking to mine?"Old Madam Liu coughed while a wicked grin curved on Keira's lips. Zach knew what his wife was up to, and he could tell how she enjoyed bullying his grandmother. He shook his head and decided to save his grandmother, "How about you prepare some sandwiches? You know how to make those…"Keira saw Thea's bashful smile as she listened to the conversation, and she liked that… This way, Thea would know that she was appreciated by their grandmother-in-law since the old madam was really bad at expressing it herself."Alright, then I will just take care of the other stuff since grandma likes Thea's cooking more..." Keira sighed, feigning defeat before she added, "Well, Thea is indeed such an excellent cook that I feel like I've already doubled my size…""We have the same concern... My abs are turning to some belly fat!" Jeru concurred, which made everyone burst into laughter.Senior Liu was filled with joyful energy at the scene before him, of a family sitting together at a dinner table, sharing a meal, and happily chatting. It was a splendid sight… For the first time in a long while, he could proudly say that he was having dinner with his family. It was also his first time hearing his son's unrestrained laugh. 'I have really missed out on a lot of things…' He lamented regretfully.Old Madam Liu's face had softened too. She was not used to her house being this loud and lively. It felt a bit weird, but at the same time, an unexpected happiness consumed her."So, it's settled then. Even though we all have busy lives, we have to make sure that we spend time together as a family regularly. Thea, and Keira, I'd like it if the two of you would be in charge of that…" Senior Liu suggested with a smile, and everyone agreed........Back in their room, the two were busy smooching each other on the bed. Keira was lying on her back, and Zach was supporting himself with his elbows on top of her, when he suddenly stopped kissing her. He pinched Keira's nose as he murmured, "You're so clever..."Keira looked at her husband, nonplussed, and asked, "Me?"Zach nodded and whispered as he resumed showering his wife's face with gentle kisses again, "Yes, you... Are you having a lot of fun bullying your grandmother-in-law?"Keira giggled as she admitted, "Maybe just a little bit...?" She then pushed Zach gently, so he was the one lying on his back now. Keira lay on her side, next to him, and supported herself with one elbow as her head rested on her hand. The index finger of her other hand was making a circular movement on Zach's chest as she asked, "How is your training going at the company? You will start working soon... Do you mind if I visit you there once in a while when I have some free time?" "My star, you can visit me anytime you want… And about the training, I think it's going well, but we'll still have to see if it's really something for me. You were right, business strategies are very similar to the military ones… But I found the business side rather boring…" Zach voiced out his honest opinion. Keira laughed and said, "That makes sense. When you were a General in the military, you didn't just have to manage the army, but you also had to devise warfare strategies. Plus, there were some actions and a lot of physical activities. Whereas, at the company, the only action and physical activity you would get is from your hand..." She wondered how Zach would react when he had to sign documents after documents, day in day out.Then she added, "If you really don't like it, you can always go back to the military. They still want you to be Dad's successor as the Field Marshal. I'm okay with that, as long as you promise me that you will not go into battlefields anymore, like before." "I'll think about it... But for now, I will give this business thing a shot, also to satisfy Grandma's request.""What about you? Are you still okay with working?" Zach asked. He was concerned because Keira had easily gotten tired these days, but she still insisted on working, saying she still could do it because she did not have to do much but sit and report the news from their live studio. Just recently, she had been added as the primetime news' anchor alongside Thea and Gavin."Yeah, it's still fine. Don't worry, I really don't do much at work. All I have to do is deliver the news while sitting, and sometimes talk to Thea and Gavin because they expect us to occasionally give our opinions on the news we're reporting. So, it's not exhausting at all. It's actually Gavin who had to take on the harder tasks now…" Keira laughed as she told Zach how Gavin would often complain that he had to co-anchor with not one, but two pregnant women.Zach pulled her and hugged her tightly as he kissed her head and said, "Okay, but promise me you'll go on your maternity leave soon. I don't want you to be too tired..." Then he added, "Jeru and Thea will go on a vacation soon... And it reminded me that we haven't actually gone on our real honeymoon yet…"Keira widened her eyes and burst out, "General, we are about to have twins! What honeymoon are you talking about?"Zach chuckled and muttered, "I know… But Thea is pregnant too… Hmm, okay... Maybe it's not a good idea, after all. I'll think about it once our twins are born."Keira nodded in agreement as she added, "Yeah, we have to let Jeru and Thea have their moment now. They deserve it because unlike ours, their love story had a rocky start...""Alright, my star... I guess I will have no choice but to work hard at the company while Jeru is away…" Zach grimaced. Keira chuckled and kissed her husband as she said, "Yeah, work hard and be extra good to your cousin…"
