Taming A Billionaire-Chapter 595 - Five Hundred And Ninety-Five: The Baby Is Impatient

Emerald was not happy about letting Cecil go to that gathering. He knew it was just the women to chill - and gossip - but he was not comfortable with it.?Cecil was in her last and critical semester and it was his duty as her husband to protect her.

Emerald sighed, letting her go was probably a good idea because he got a chance to unwind as well. Perhaps, the reason she had been cranky lately was that she felt cooped up. His overprotectiveness might have done more harm than good.

Thankfully, he fought against the urge to follow after her and instead assigned someone to watch and keep her safe. He would not forgive anyone if something happens to Cecil or his baby.

Right now, he was at Sakuzi's place and currently watching the fight coming on.

"Don't you think you're being too hard on her?" He asked, watching as that woman called Maggie being thrown over Andrew's shoulder, her ass landing on the bare ground.

"She demanded it," Sakuzi said, trying to lit a cigarette.

"Really?" Emerald was surprised and then, his eyes flickered to Sakuzi emerging with a lighter to lit a cigarette. He snatched the cigarette from the man's mouth and stamped it under his feet till it was dirtied.

Sakuzi threw his hand up, "What was that for?"

"You should stop smoking, it's bad for your health,"

Sakuzi grumbled under his breath, "You don't tell an old man what to do," already providing another cigarette from his pocket.

"I'll tell Nadia then," Emerald informed him.

"I won't smoke again then," so please don't tell her, Sakuzi's pleading was obvious.

Apart from Reina, Sakuzi feared his now- togther-with ex-wife. The woman's anger was hot enough to burn the world. In none word, he'd rather experience Reina's anger than his ex-wife's.

Having reached an agreement without many words spoken, the both of them focused on the fight.

"She has a strong will to survive," Emerald observed the fight, and each time Maggie was tossed to the ground, she was back on her feet within seconds.

"Why do you think I let her in the first place," Sakuzi told him, holding his gaze.

Emerald understood his words. Most women were too fragile to last in the gangs because their agenda changes anytime they fall in love - they would want out of the gang. Maggie was the first woman Sakuzi was letting in for years.

His attention was suddenly drawn to the way Sakuzi fingers twitched and he would unconsciously reach for his pocket, only to let it down after a few seconds - probably remembering his threat of telling Nadia. Those were the habits of addicted smokers.

So he reached for his pocket and brought out a lollipop, handing it over to him, saying, "Anytime you crave for a smoke, try this instead. It's therapeutic,"

Sakuzi stared down at the lollipop amused, "Really? Sugar at my age?"

However, Emerald said, "Diabetes is better than kidney and heart failure,"

"I can always find a transplant," Sakuzi argued.

"Not if you die before the surgery," Emerald was firm, "Make sure you take these or else -"

"You'll tell Nadia, yes, yes," He rolled his eyes.

"Tell me what?"

Speak of the devil.

Sakuzi turned around with forced enthusiasm, "Honey, you're back!" he went over to hug her.

But Nadia was not bought over by his deliberate act, "You have something to tell me, don't you?"

Sakuzi gulped, he was done for today. However, before he had the chance to explain, Emerald's phone rang.

"What?!" Emerald screamed almost immediately, "The baby is coming?!"

"The baby is coming?!" they heard everything, that even Maggie and her trainer, Andrew stopped their fight immediately.

"Fine," Emerald tried to calm down, "Where is she now?" He asked Emily - she was the one who called to inform him of the situation.

"What hospital is she at? What? There's a little problem?"

This time, Sakuzi and Nadia had leaned so close to Emerald that they could hear the ongoing call.

"The baby's too impatient?! Cecil's delivering in a restaurant?! Are you fucking kidding me!"

He knew it! She shouldn't have gone to that restaurant. Perhaps, his instinct as a father had been tingling all along, heralding the coming of his child. He should have listened, obeyed the signs. Now, he prays nothing happens to his child.

"Fine, I'm coming right away!" He ended the call instantly and turned to Sakuzi and his wife.

"Tell me there's a midwife here?" Emerald asked, even though he knew they wouldn't be able to make it to the restaurant on time - Emily told him the baby's head was out already. But then, he couldn't be a useless father, he had to do something.

"This is a gang, not a hospital, Emerald," Nadia reminded him.

"Fuck this!" Emerald cursed, "I'm leaving," He almost left him but Sakuzi was quick to stop him.

"No, you can't drive in this state. I'll be the one to drive you,"

"No -"

"Your baby can't be fatherless before he's even born," Sakuzi hinted that he might have an accident on the way thanks to his anxiety.

There was an authority in Sakuzi's voice and Emerald knew better than to defy his order. He might be Sakuzi's successor but until then, Sakuzi was still in power.

"Fine, let's go," Emerald was in a hurry knowing that every minute they spent idly, things could go wrong.

"I'll come along too," Andrew said.

"No, you're not -"

"You're currently vulnerable and your enemies - our enemies - might see this as a good chance to attack. I'll be there to offer protection, don't tell me no," Andrew insisted. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

"Fine, tag along," Emerald let him in reluctantly. Inwardly, he knew Andre was right. A spy in their midst could tip off their enemy of the situation who would then hurt… Emerald couldn't even think of the scene where Cecil or his baby was hurt.. He would send whoever touches his family to Hell and he sure hoped he wasn't too late.
