Candice laughed when she saw Lexus' annoyed face and it only made her boyfriend frown even more and ruffle her hair in annoyance.

"What else?" Candice asked, laughing cheerfully and getting up from her chair to sit next to Lexus.

This afternoon, Lexus came to have lunch with Candice at a café near her office. Lexus had been very busy recently, coupled with his brother still enjoying his honeymoon which didn't seem to end any time soon, all the work was done by Lexus and Lis.

Lis seemed to be a bit saddened by Leon's death, because after all, he was the man she had been with for all these years and they had Lexus from that relationship too.

So, to say the least, Leon's death was enough to shake her a little.

Only, Lis took it out on work. The woman worked tirelessly to retrieve all the assets owned by the Dawsons.

This was Lis' revenge against the family, although a little contradictory, but it seemed that Lis really wanted the Dawsons to come to their knees.

And that was not all, after Lis learned of Ramon's original plan to take over the Smith's family company, which was currently reeling from some unpleasant issues due to Aidan Smith being involved in embarrassing scandals, Lis wanted that company as well.

Ramon's absence was an opportunity for Lis to vent her feelings at work, but the person who suffered the most in this whole incident was; Lexus.

Lexus just wanted to live his life in peace and not get swayed with such big ambitions, but now, he had to work desperately to achieve Lis' demands.

Especially with the addition of Ramon's work who was not in the office.

Lexus really wanted to cry… especially since he'd been spending so little time with Candice.

"My candy..." said Lexus while hugging Candice who just rolled her eyes when she heard the endearment.

Candice had told Lexus several times not to call her Candy, but the warning didn't seem to be getting any results.

"Ramon said he wouldn't come back when I asked him when he'd be back…" Lexus looked very annoyed with his brother. "He said he was going to spend another year on his honeymoon. Does anyone even honeymoon for a whole year?!"

Lexus couldn't believe how shameless his big brother was. He was supposed to work and provide for the family.

Well, it was not that Ramon hadn't been working all this time, but of course it would be different if he was actually present at the company.

"For Ramon, I think the phrase honeymoon for a year exists," Candice said. She remembered how well Ramon spoiled Hailee.

Hearing this, Lexus buried his face between his palms and groaned in frustration.

"I cannot bear this anymore." Lexus then lowered his hand, his eyes flashing as he spoke again, "You come with me."

"Hmm?" Candice raised her eyebrows questioningly. "Where to?" she then looked at her watch, which indicated that her break would end in less than fifteen minutes. "I don't think I can," Candice said.

"No, of course you can." Now, Lexus had grabbed Candice's hand and led her out of the café.

"I have to go back to the office now." Candice grabbed her bag because Lexus was pulling her in a hurry.

"No, you will forget about the office and accompany me."

"What? Of course I can't."

And when he heard this, Lexus stopped and took out his cell phone, but didn't let Candice go, not wanting the girl to run away from him.

Lexus then made a call and told the person on the line to take care of Candice's permission.

"Lexus you can't do that," Candice exclaimed, her eyes widened in disbelief at what Lexus had just done.

"Of course I can, I just did," Lexus replied, turning off his phone and pushing Candice into the car.

"I feel like I'm being kidnapped," Candice grumbled, as Lexus got into the car and sat behind the wheel.

"I enjoyed kidnapping you. Next time I will kidnap you forever," Lexus said, and leaned over to clasp the seatbelt for Candice in place before stealing a kiss from the girl, who looked at him with disbelieving eyes.

This is one of the things you get when you date an influential man in this town. He can do anything.

Well, actually Candice didn't really mind. Kidnapped by your own lover and have to skip work, why not?

===================         

Hailee looked at herself in the mirror, she was wearing a bright yellow mini dress that accentuated her bulging belly.

Now she was in her seventh month of pregnancy and of course now her belly was looking bigger and this was something Hailee loved.

Therefore, Hailee wore a dress that fit her body.

"You look sexy," Ramon whispered into Hailee's ear as his wife sat on his lap watching a romantic comedy.

Thank God. Hailee's tastes changed, because Ramon didn't want their baby to be scared in his mother's tummy.

Outside, the sound of the waves crashing could be heard while the afternoon sun was warm, highlighting the living room where Hailee and Ramon sat relaxing while Martha went out to buy something.

But, right at that moment, there was a noise from outside and a very familiar voice filled the air suddenly. 

"Ramon!" Lexus exclaimed in annoyance. He entered the house stomping his feet, while Candice followed behind him.

Lexus was annoyed, and immediately made an impromptu trip to this place. Fortunately, as the younger brother of the owner of this island and had an airline that could bring him here, he didn't have to wait long.

"Ramon! What do you mean you will stay in this secluded place for another year!?" Lexus was furious when he found his brother relaxing with his wife.

Surprised, Hailee immediately stood up and found Lexus and Candice at her house.

"Lexus? What do you mean by honeymooning for one more year?" asked Hailee in confusion.

"Just ask your husband," Lexus grumbled angrily.

"We're going back next week," Hailee said.

Lexus was about to say something, but then his eyes fell on Hailee's stomach and his mouth dropped open.

Slowly, Lexus' hand rose and he pointed at Hailee's stomach.

"Your stomach!" he cried, Lexus' eyes widened at Hailee's stomach. "Your belly looks big! Did something happen to you?"

"Of course! I am pregnant!" Hailee exclaimed in a loud voice. This brother-in-law of hers was sometimes difficult to understand…
