Chapter 1030: Chapter 1003: Fairy Tales Are All Deceptive (Thanks to kateliu for the silver reward +89 Chapters)

Although she confronted the world fearlessly outside, it did not mean that Kiara had no ’fire’ burning within her at all.

Mario Yuno took a deep sniff in the air. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Ah~ such a strong scent."

"What are you going crazy about?" She had just taken a shower, where was any scent coming from?

"A choking gunpowder smell! Kiara, haven’t you had enough fun outside today?"

His daughter-in-law’s performance at the Research Institute had been reported back to him by Patrick; she had made them quite proud. He, as her husband, also basked in the reflected glory, but why was his wife so furious as soon as she got back?

"How have I not had enough fun? Of course, I’m not as in-demand as you are, Mr. Popular. By the way, I forgot to ask, when do you have time?"

Her sarcastic tone set off alarm bells in Mario Yuno’s mind, and he answered cautiously.

"I have time right now."

Could it be she wanted to settle scores with him? Their promised honeymoon leave after their wedding was cancelled, and he’d been working non-stop for two days, causing his daughter-in-law’s hormones to go haywire?

"Well then, please go meet your fan girls."

"Oh, okay." He nodded.

Upon hearing this, Kiara became so angry that she tore off her facial mask, ready to slap it onto his face. So shameless, this guy even dared to agree?

"Sister, I’m coming~" As he spoke, he began to undress Kiara, his own "sister" wrapped in her clothes.

He thought to himself that his wife must indeed have her hormones out of whack; they hadn’t had time for that special intimacy in two days which must be why she was so irritated. Although he had made plans with Second Brother, he felt that perhaps he could resolve the situation with his wife quickly and efficiently?

"Get lost, jerk! Who told you I was talking about that kind of sister?!" Her face turned red, and she slapped the facial mask onto his face, turning Camden into a comically dark-faced figure.

"If not this sister, then which one? You only have this one, right?" Could it be his wife wanted something more exotic today?! Camden’s thoughts went astray.

Kiara was so angry that her nose could have been crooked from irritation. This guy was way out of line!

"I’m talking about Daisy Lynn, Daisy Lynn!"

"What about her?" What Seedling? He had never even heard of it.

"That flower at the Research Institute, she came looking for me to set a time. She asked when you were free and wanted to ’privately’ have a chat with you!" Kiara emphasized the word ’privately’ very heavily.

It took Mario Yuno several seconds to catch on, "Oh, you mean Master Extinguisher Green."

"Master Extinguisher... Green?" These four words miraculously quelled Kiara’s surge of jealousy.

"That wasn’t my nickname for her; Patrick started it. He said she was always condescending and acted like she was above everyone else. I thought the name was quite fitting. What does she want with you? To see me? What for?"

"Who knows what she wants to see you for. If you go and see her, you’ll find out, won’t you."

"I’d have to be mad to see her, I’m not familiar with her." At last, Mario Yuno understood why his wife was upset. He wasn’t in a hurry to take a shower anymore; instead, he headed to the kitchen to tinker with something.

A moment later he came out with a cup of light brown liquid.

"Here you go, Kiara. This is a drink I made. Have you ever had it? Vinegar and baking soda mixed together with a dash of sugar. As a kid, we used to drink this as a soda substitute."

"I’ve had it before. Actually, it’s a pointless practice. The carbon dioxide and water produced by the neutralization of acid and alkali destroy all the original nutrients." As a kid, she couldn’t afford real soda, so she would have her mother make this homemade version. It was a common childhood memory for most kids in Q City.

"What you drink, you replenish. My poor daughter-in-law guzzled vinegar out of exhaustion today. Here, have some to replenish."

"Scram!" I knew this guy was up to no good!

"Fine, I’m scramming." He turned to leave but quickly circled back when she wasn’t paying attention and pounced on her onto the sofa.

"No, my experience tells me that if my wife is jealous, I might have to sleep on the floor tonight, so honey, we still have time, let’s do it," he said while swiftly stripping off his clothes and even made the sign of the Cross in front of himself.

"Thank you, Master Extinguisher Green, for this opportunity to sleep with my wife before it’s even dark, Amitabha Buddha! Next time you want to be intimate, just say it directly, don’t beat around the bush and pretend to be jealous, tsk tsk!"

"You faithless guy who mixes the Buddha and God together, get away from me!"

Kiara was so angry she tried to kick him, but he held her down, and just when she was about to be taken then and there, Second Brother’s phone call came through.

"Second Brother, what’s up?" Mario Yuno kept his position over Kiara, chin resting on her shoulder, one hand holding the phone and lazily speaking, while the other hand continued to make mischief, which earned him a painful bite from Kiara.

"Come out to eat, fast." Second Brother was as succinct as ever.

Second Brother and Isaac were in Q City for the pregnancy, as pilots have plenty of vacation time.

"Got it, right away." Mario Yuno winced from the bite but couldn’t cry out in pain.

"We’re at the Grill House downstairs from your place. Give you ten minutes, and if Isaac goes hungry, you’re responsible for the consequences."

After hanging up, Mario Yuno felt as if he’d been force-fed a fistful of dog food right to the heart.

"Just look at Second Brother of Yuno Family, what has he become? For his wife’s hunger to prevent threats even to his own brother?"

The implication was, how could there be someone in this world who dotes on their wife more than me? I refuse to accept this!

"Since Isaac got pregnant, Second Brother has indeed changed a lot; he’s become more caring than usual, which is a good thing. Yet you’re regressing more into childishness and shamelessness! You’re married, why aren’t you mature yet?" Kiara finished speaking and noticed Mario Yuno looking at her woefully, just like a child deprived of candy.

"Everything in fairy tales is a lie!" he protested!

Kiara didn’t understand why he would bring up such an unrelated point out of the blue.

"What are you talking about?"

"Isn’t there a saying that ’heaven rewards the diligent’?" Camden asked pitifully, looking at Kiara’s belly.

Kiara nodded, "Yes, what does that have to do with you being immature?"

"Weren’t we the first ones to confirm our relationship? So why is it that all these people who got together after us are getting pregnant one after another? I’m so diligent, why isn’t heaven rewarding me? Darling, look, ever since that Second Brother of Yuno Family became a father, look how cocky he’s become?"

This Second Brother of Yuno Family is soaring so high, overshadowing the little tyrant of the Yuno family! Oh, right, he’s a pilot, which means he’s already flying high!

Susi’s got one.

Isaac’s got one.

This afternoon, Mario Yuno also got irritated by Zenith Kyan, who mentioned that Tony Stone’s period was late this month, and they suspect she might be pregnant, though the symptoms are mild. They plan to do a blood test tomorrow.

All these people are showing off around Camden, making him start to question his life.

He’s so "diligent"!

Whenever there’s a chance, he’s striving with his wife to bring a new person into the world!

It’s been so long since his wife last said they could have a baby, and he’s been very "diligent!"

All birth control measures have stopped, and his wife has also started to supplement her nutrition systematically, so why won’t God "reward" him just once?
