(Chapter 106) Purring From Happiness
Mr and Mrs. Tuhs were sitting together watching Anya who was doing something Astrid taught her. Mathematics.
"Well done! I think she has your sense of numbers Howard." Mrs. Tuhs said as she saw Anya complete a maths test for kids almost three times her age...
Mr. Tuhs chuckled. "Maybe. But darling, Astrid also taught her... God, I can't believe how much she outclasses me at business." When in front of his wife. Mr. Tuhs was very honest with his feelings.
Yes, compared to his daughter, he felt a little inadequate. But at the same time, he was so very proud of her. "Don't think like that. Take it as our good parenting that helped her." Mrs. Tuhs said as she rewarded Anya.
Something Astrid experienced in her last life. A carrot and a stick. But Anya actually will get the rewards, unlike in her last life where she was 'rewarded' with basic food and water.
Anya beamed as she took the chocolate. "Thank you mama!" Anya had also learned manners from Astrid. It must be said, Astrid came back at a good time to teach her younger sister...
Because her parents had Anya when they were admittedly old. She was worried if anything would happen. It was hard enough for her mother to become pregnant at her age. And the birth wasn't easy either. So she didn't want to stress her parents other anything...
"Mm, little Anya reminds me of mother." Then, a voice that Anya wasn't too familiar with spoke.
Yep, Veronica. Astrid had gotten her to their home not that long ago. And although she had work to do in Russia. She had enough privileges to take a long break.
"Your mother... She does look like her, doesn't she? Astrid is so similar to you. Although Anya has your eyes and hair similar to mine... Her face does remind me of her." Mr. Tuhs spoke softly. He never really mentioned his wife's family. Because of the tragedy that happened.
Mrs. Tuhs hummed, she remembered her mother enough. But she lost her as a teen. So she only had a couple of pictures to remember her by now...
"Don't worry sis. Believe in Astrid. My niece, and your daughter. She got me out of the god-forsaken family's grasp. I even saw some of her file before. Apart from knowing some of her illness. She is apparently related to some powerful government figures." Veronica knew the pain in her sister's heart. Their family had been hiding for decades now. But since she was free and safe from the Yuke's. It was turning for the better.
Mrs. Tuhs just nodded. While Mr. Tuhs sighed. And then, he felt his phone vibrate.
He casually took it out and saw Winoa sent over a photo. He was surprised, she didn't send photos normally...
Mr. Tuhs' face... The turned a shade of white. "Fuck..." He then immediately went to delete that picture.
"What is it?" But before he could. His wife took the phone out of hands...
Mrs. Tuhs shown her shock on her face. As well as... As a sly smile? Mr Tuhs felt a cold shiver go up his spine. 'I now feel bad for that rascal. I could only imagine what she will tell Astrid...' He didn't want to think about it anymore, as he shook his out of his head.
"Is something wrong?" Veronica asked casually. It didn't seem serious since neither of them was angry... But that smile on her sister's face was... Unique.
"Ah... Astrid has flown to another nest." Mrs. Tuhs spoke very cheerfully, she was indeed very happy.
Winoa sent over a picture of the mess the two made. Of course, anything M-rated was left out. But the two were adults with experience. And since Winoa sent the picture... It could only be related to Astrid.
Veronica looked shocked. "What!? With who?" Oh, she didn't know that much...
"Ah, his name's Lewis. A lovely man, don't worry. he passed all my tests and I dare say this old fart likes him too." Mrs. Tuhs chuckled thinking about her husband not wanting to let his happiness show.
"Tch." Mr. Tuhs tutted.
"Mm, I wonder if it will be a girl or a boy? No! They are planning to reveal their relationship right?" Mrs. Tuhs' eyes were sparkling as she thought about the potential.
Mr. Tuhs nodded awkwardly. While Mrs. Tuhs smiled widely. "Great! We need to prepare for the wedding immediately!" She spoke that in her native tongue, showing how excited she was.
Mr. Tuhs knew enough of his wife's language. So he just sighed. While Veronica was baffled.
.......
"Babe? Babe? Astrid." Astrid heard angels talking to her in her sleep, as her eyes fluttered open. Revealing Lewis's face.
"You... Make me hungry." Astrid's voice was still hoarse, and dry as she was just asleep.
After Winoa sorted the bed, she left to go buy some things. While Astrid felt her energy hit 0. And she fell asleep.
Lewis chuckled. "Don't worry, I got some food." Lewis was also hungry. Let alone the girl who could eat for 5 people...
Astrid got herself up and leaned against Lewis. They cuddled on the bed as they fed each other sweets and sandwiches. Lewis made sure to feed Astrid medicine for her throat while he was at it.
Astrid was purring. She was very, very happy. Lewis could imagine the sight of it from just this. As the door was knocked.
"Miss? I bought some stuff for you." It was Winoa.
"Come in... Put it on the floor." Astrid's voice was very lax, and clearly better than before.
Winoa nodded. Cleansing her eyes of the godly sight before her. It was so pure... 'I don't think another man would look good beside my Miss!' Winoa was proud of her employer for being so far above every mortal on earth... But was happy she found her equal, someone who can make her smile just like now.
