Chapter 1574 The Most Precious Person (Part One)
Everyone was delighted to hear that Leena was pregnant. The gang blessed her and her baby
sincerely, and Belinda stopped by, her precious newborn baby in tow.
"Oh, Spencer. Awww... Let me hold him." Leena reached out so Belinda could place Spencer in her
arms. Belinda and her baby were radiant in the sun, the rays shining through the leaves to create a
checkerboard of shadows on everyone there.
"Probably not a good idea. You're pregnant right now, and we don't want you to strain yourself!" It was
a Herculean effort for Leena to get pregnant with all those physical examinations and medicines.
Belinda wouldn't allow Leena to do something risky, even a little.
"Hey, easy, dear. I'm pregnant, not dead. Hand him over, please." Leena's beautiful face turned red
thanks to Belinda's teasing.
"Don't think so. Your baby is a gift from God. Can't be too careful." Belinda headed into the house with
Spencer in her arms. Ever since Spencer was born, he was all Belinda focused on. Duke was very
unhappy with it, claiming that Belinda did not care for him as his wife. Men were obviously childish in
love. Spencer was still a baby, and his son, to boot. How could he be jealous of him?!
"Yeah, well, I can take care of myself. Don't worry. Where's Duke? Didn't see him. He wasn't supposed
to leave you two alone!" Leena combed her long hair with her fingers, trying to tidy it up. She was too
excited to fall asleep last night, and it was the wee hours before she finally did. Early birds were
beginning to chirp when she finally closed her eyes. She hadn't been up for long when Belinda and
Spencer arrived. She hadn't even had time to get herself ready for the day.
"He's in the office now. He only has weekends off. He's not supposed to stay home. Actually he's
worried about you, so he sent me by to check on you." Belinda placed Spencer on the soft sofa. That
little boy even rolled over so he could sit up. He was a quiet child, so obedient and cute.
"Worried about me? Why? I'm all good! Right, Spencer?" Leena bent over and left a soft kiss on
Spencer's plump face.
"Kevin will be back soon, right? He's been gone for like a month." If she were Leena, she'd never be
able to get used to that. Why marry if your husband wouldn't be around? Being a soldier's wife was not
an easy job for most women.
"Don't think so. We'll have a long wait ahead of us. He said the assignment was for two months." Leena
raised her eyes to look at Belinda.
"He's going to be thrilled when he hears the news." Belinda was happy for Leena from the bottom of
her heart. For a woman, having a baby with the man she loved was one of the happiest things ever.
"Maybe! He's not good at expressing himself, you know." Leena felt like she didn't know Kevin that well.
The Kevin she was familiar with was the one in his private time. As for the workaholic Kevin, she barely
knew him. She only saw him at work one time. He was so heroic and overwhelming. She never saw
that side of Kevin at home.
"Oh. Come here, girl. Give me a hug." Belinda let Spencer nestle in the sofa and then bent forward to
give Leena a warm hug. She was so happy for Leena and her eyes could not help turning red.
"Hey, Belinda. You miss Duke so much that you'll take a hug from anyone?" Leena teased her, but not
unkindly. She was touched as well. There were so many friends and family here, caring for her.
"You bad girl, play nice. I'm happy for you. Don't make fun of me." Belinda glared at her in mock anger.
Leena's comment was kind of out of bounds.
"Don't get mad. I was just kidding. Spencer, kiss your mom so she won't be angry at your auntie,
okay?" Leena smiled and looked to her nephew, who was grabbing his mother's sleeve and trying hard
to stagger to his feet. He seemed to understand Leena's words and then struggled to hug Belinda.
"You siding with your auntie? Don't. She plays lots of tricks." Belinda found it ridiculously funny. She
stopped her son from grabbing her around her face. He was indeed a junior Duke Leng, and was good
at annoying her. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"You take that back. I'm an innocent angel," Leena protested, giggling.
"Oh yeah, before I forget... did you tell Kevin's mom that you're pregnant?" Belinda grasped the little
hand that was continually pulling her hair. Spencer was more able to make movements as time went
by. He liked to play with his mother's hair, which literally was the reason why she lost her hair recently.
"Not yet. Maybe when Kevin's back!" Leena still felt like that she was living in a dream until now. So
she wanted to wait for more time to confirm and digest this news. Kevin was the one she wanted to
share it with. Also, she needed his help to make sure it was all real. She was just too thrilled and didn't
think she could contain herself long enough to tell her in-laws. As long as Kevin was around her, she'd
be okay.
"Yes. I get it. You want him to hear it first. Big-mouth Tom had to go and blab the news." Belinda burst
into giggles. When Duke got the call from Tom and heard the good news, he thought Tom was kidding.
That was why Duke was so serious around Tom. When he confirmed that Leena was pregnant, he told
everyone to be careful and take care of Leena the whole time. He was a totally different person.
"I didn't think that he'd tell everyone." Leena was quite embarrassed about it. Everybody knew she was
pregnant all of a sudden, thanks to Tom.
"It's wonderful news. No wonder he was desperate to share it with others. Oh, Duke wants you home
with the family while Kevin's gone. You'd be alone here. He's not happy about that." Belinda came here
today to help out Leena, who Duke valued more than his own life. He would never let anything happen
to her.
"Oh! Ha ha. Why? I won't be alone for long. I can move easily, and I can take care of myself now!"
Leena felt that Duke was making too much of a fuss. So she turned him down. She wanted to stay
here, making sure everything was in tip top shape while Kevin was away.
"Well, I'm afraid you need to tell him yourself! I'm just the messenger." Belinda took out a baby bottle
and fed it to Spencer. From a mother-to-be who could barely take care of babies to a skilled mother,
she had spent lots of time learning everything. We never know how much our parents love us, until we
become parents ourselves. It was a tough task to raise a baby, especially for a mother.
"Alright! I'll call later. Spencer, you need to hurry up and talk so you can tell me what you want. Auntie
Leena is gonna spoil you rotten." Leena began to play with her nephew again. He was so cute, with a
round, pink face. He even looked like a girl sometimes.
"Duke said he'd send Giselle over to take care of you. I thought you should know." More news from
Belinda, and this time Leena was speechless. She didn't even know how to respond to this news.
"No, Belinda. If Giselle comes here, what about you? You need her help!" Leena gave Belinda a
confused look. True, there were lots of servants in Leng house. But Giselle was the best. She was the
one who made out the chore lists for the other servants. It would be chaos if she wasn't there. What
was more, Spencer was still a newborn. He needed to be looked after carefully. Would Duke be okay
leaving him with just anyone?
"Don't worry about that. My mother's coming to help with Spencer. I'm going back to work soon. Duke is
so tired of dealing with two companies. It's time for me to go back." Belinda felt sorry for Duke. He was
her husband. When she saw him almost exhausted managing the two companies, her heart ached. So,
after careful consideration, Belinda decided to return to work. She would not handle everything like
before. Instead, she would work as an assistant to reduce Duke's workload. Duke would be the acting
CEO who gave orders, and she would be the consultant.
"Back to work? So soon? If that's the case, you need Giselle even more! Tell you what: keep Giselle.
We'll manage everything here. What's more, I'm not too big. I can take care of myself right now." Leena
insisted that Giselle stay at Leng House. She could hire a professional nanny to help her when she
couldn't handle herself. She could afford it, anyway. Money was never a problem for her.
