John did not know that Ingrid fainted yesterday and that they chose to personally tell the news to him and not to overly surprise him.

"Of course, dad, this is for real. At least for now you'll see me getting pregnant and at the same time, I have a husband whom I could rely on during my pregnancy." The smile on Ingrid's s.h.i.+nes brightly that day.

She knew that having twins won't be an easy task.

Right now, all Ingrid wanted is to be cuddled by her husband. She wanted to see his face before she sleeps and when the first person she wanted to see in the morning.

Out of the blue, Ingrid yawned.

"Oh gosh, I'm sleepy. I wanted to sleep again for at least an hour. Please wake me up after, love. Bring me back to our room please?"

"My pleasure, love."

Without delay, Clifford scooped up his wife and carried her in his arms, planting kisses on her face.

"Careful, love, our twins will be awake." She said chuckling.

Clifford's roaring laugh echoed within the hall.

…♥…♥…♥…

The next day, Ingrid tried very hard just to wake up early and start her first day in the company despite her lazy feeling and just want to sleep the whole day. She wanted to make an impression. A very stern impression.

'I can do this.' She mumbled as she slowly lifts herself from her husband's embrace.

Looking at him who is peacefully asleep gives her strength to do her task today.

'I love you,' she whispered and smiled, planting a soft kiss on his cheek before she went straight to the bathroom.

'Ugh! I need to go away from him. He's such a tempter.' Then she fled from him.

Her husband moved and his lips twitched when he hears his wife whispers and kisses him sweetly. Lazily he opened his eyes.

'Day one of daddy duty.' He thought, 'and a house husband.' then he let out a boyish grin when a sudden thought enter his mind.

Clifford decided to join his wife in shower and grinned at what he's about to do and nonchalantly opened the bathroom door and a shriek of surprise echoed, followed by giggles and a lot more kissing and…

Eight in the morning, the exact time, Ingrid and her husband arrived at the Howards Company. Clifford could not allow his wife to face the company alone especially her status now.

Ingrid heaved a breathy sigh before they entered the company.

"Are you ready?" her husband asks.

"Never been this ready." They entered the company holding each other's hands.

They did not require any formal greetings, though, but they still do. Ingrid wasted no time and implemented her plans for the company. Some reacted negatively, but they could not go against an iron fisted president in front of them. She's firm and immovable. The employees and even the board could not go against her as they were surprised of the sudden changes.

"Anyone who will go against me may I advice that you hand me your resignation and I will only wait until tomorrow. The moment you decide to stay, you have no choice but to obey my command since I am now in-charge of this company. And oh! I can't wait to know everything here. And yes! I mean everything, whether it's a good or a bad thing." She smiled.

Everyone went silent. Her smile sends warning and those who have illegal works started to feel wary.

"Have a good day, gentlemen, ladies." She stood up and was ushered by her father's loyal secretary, Andrew Morgan, to the president's office where her husband is waiting.

When he saw her entered the room, he stood up immediately and a.s.sisted her, kissing her on her forehead, pulling her to his side.

"How was it, my love?" his face is full of concern since she prohibited him to join the meeting.

"Exhausting. What did you do?" she inquired.

"Checking some files Gary sent me earlier. I ordered our lunch already. I know you and our twins are famished." He grinned.

"hmm…"

Clifford did not leave his wife and kept observing her from time to time as she engrossed herself with the office work that needs to be done before they went back to their home. He, too, is working, reading, and revising all the doc.u.ments his secretary sends.

He's conscious of the time since they agreed that they should not bring any office works at home and would only spend their nights with their son and soon with their twins.

…♥…♥…♥…

Time flies fast and Clifford gets used to being around Ingrid in her office and then after office hours they went home together. This has been going on for weeks and both of them have been so contented with their lives.

Clark has been so clingy and keeps on getting his dad's attention.

"Daddy, let's swim together!"

"Daddy, I wanna have some abs, please show me how."

"Daddy, I wanna be like you someday, will you train me?"

Amus.e.m.e.nt danced in Clifford's eyes as he looks at his son's eager and bright eyes. They were sitting on the bench near their pool. He stood up and sat beside his son.

Clifford knew how advanced his son thinks and gives him great pleasure however he knew how grievous it will be for his son…

He cleared his throat before he spoke.

"Son…" he faces Clark, "I know you have the brightest future and could surpa.s.s what I have accomplished to this day… and someday, what I have will be yours and by that time you are fully equipped and trained. I tell you now it won't be an easy road. But for now, I just want you to enjoy being a child and soon to be a big brother. I don't want you to carry any burden while you're still young, those things can wait."

Clark just blinked his cute eyes and tried to grasp what his father had just said. In his young mind, he knew what he wanted, that is, to be like his father and be a protective big brother and find a wife who is just like his mother.

Clifford smiled while looking at his son who is lost in his thoughts.

"Hmm… what are you thinking, my boy?"
