Words I Was Afraid To Hear Chapter 89

Masaichi Xiu was wearing a blue suit with light blue s.h.i.+rt and black tie to match Midori's black low V-neck empire gown with laced back . She was studded with sapphire pieces of jewelry, revealed by her short asymmetric bob . They walked into the hall, mesmerizing everyone .

Their resemblance was actually obvious, but people tend to see them as a couple looking good together . Since the news regarding Agatha's death was suppressed, only a few would actually know that it was only Young Master Xiu who survived the accident . At this point, others thought that Young Master Xiu and his wife had just recovered and were making an appearance in public after doing so .

A middle-aged man approached them . "Young Master Xiu . " He bowed in greeting .

"Director Si . " Masaichi Xiu politely responded .

The man eyed Midori and nodded as if in approval . "I believe this beauty is Young Mistress Xiu . " He smiled .

"Yes, she is . " Before Midori could say anything, her brother immediately confirmed it .

"You are so lucky to have such a beautiful wife . " The man continued .

Masaichi Xiu snickered . "She is indeed the Young Mistress of the household, but she is not my wife, but my sister . " he corrected, slowly enunciating every word .

"Oh, pardon me Miss Xiu . " The man became fl.u.s.tered .

"It's fine . " Midori had a subtle smile .

Other gentlemen, some young masters of their own household, heard that they were not husband and wife . Because Masaichi Xiu confirmed that she is Young Mistress Xiu, they concluded that she is still single and up for grabs . Thus, they introduced themselves .

Most of them were CEOs or directors of prestigious companies, and everyone wanted to leave a good impression on this bachelorette . Midori replied politely, giving them face but not hope .

Just then, the lights were turned off . Then a spotlight revealed a couple at the entrance .

The host spoke from the podium . "Ladies and gentlemen, the soon-to-be Mr . and Mrs . Verdan and Madeline Zhou!"

The chandeliers were lit and the couple walked on the red carpet and went up the stage .

Madeline Song wore a red satin off-shoulder ballgown . Her hair was styled in a half updo, adorned with crystals, her ears and neck with pieces of jewelry made of diamonds set in white gold . Her 10-centimeter platform heels elevated her height for her to reach his chin . Her arm was holding onto the arm of the great CEO Zhou .

Dan was wearing a black 3-piece suit with white s.h.i.+rt and black bowtie . His black oxfords were new . His dark locks were cut and styled to look sleek and clean . He had a subtle smile on his lips and a gentle expression on his eyes .

'Well rehea.r.s.ed . ' Midori thought .

People started to take their seats on their respective tables as the ceremony was about to start .

Masaichi eyed his sister who looked calm, too calm . There was not even a tinge of jealously . Did they not go out after meeting again? Did they break up before this? If they did because of this, then all the more that she should have a look of resentment, at least in her eyes .

Masaichi was bothered by it . The expression on Midori's face was way too abnormal for an ex .

During the ceremony, Dan kept secretly glancing at Midori's spot which he found after scanning the hall once he made it up the stage . He wanted to know if she had gone to the doctor to verify the unruly results .

In actuality, she had yet to do so since after that fateful morning, she was required to go back to the company immediately and had been too busy ever since . Not to mention that her brother's people are keeping close tabs on her .

.

Ah, yes . The result of the pregnancy test kit left them dumbfounded .

Back at their home, that morning, Midori repeated reading the instructions over and over again when she saw the line on the stick . She scratched her head as she was still unable to figure out what happened . She had followed the instructions carefully so there should not have been any mistake .

With mixed emotions, she went to show it to Dan, but he had that stupid excited expression that she did not know how to ask .

Since she was not speaking, he walked towards her and frowned at the test stick that she was holding .

For a positive result, there should be two lines appearing on the stick, one for the control, then the next one for the test . The areas were actually marked outside with C and T respectively .

The test stick that the couple were looking at showed a single dark line, on the test area .
