Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 1027

"I don't think it's a big deal. If you're really worried, stay overnight for observation in the hospital, and you can leave tomorrow," said the doctor. Elise decided to admit herself for hospitalization. The doctor gave a brief explanation and left.

Soon after, Narissa and Ariel walked in.

"Oh my god, El. I haven't even gotten married yet, and you already have your third pregnancy!" Narissa stared at Elise's belly, feeling amazed.

"It's my second pregnancy. Irvin and Alexia are twins. They count as one," Elise explained with a smile.

"Oh, that's not important. What's important is that I'm going to have another goddaughter soon!" Narissa's eyes lit up.

"Why is it that both you and Alexander want girls?" Elise found it funny.

"Girls are soft and lovely. It's so nice to have one. If you have another child who is like Little Irvin, it'll be too boring," Narissa made a precise criticism.

It was true that Irvin had a somewhat cold personality and was not clingy.

"There's no such thing as a boring child. Irvin is independent and responsible. Among the children nowadays, how many have such strong opinions as he does?" Elise defended Irvin. Narissa pouted but did not argue.

Despite her complaint, she still liked Irvin. After all, he took after Alexander's dangerously attractive face.

"Of course, a mother would say her child is the best," Ariel added with a sincere smile. "Congratulations."

"Thank you." Elise nodded. "Don't worry too much. Danny is a cat. A cat has nine lives. Nothing will happen to him."

"Does a cat have nine lives? Why have I never heard of it?" Narissa had little understanding of animals and proverbs. At this moment, she was confused.

"Yes. A cat has nine lives. For three he plays, for three he strays and for the last three he stays," Elise elaborated seriously.

"Don't you lie to me. How can a living thing on this earth have nine lives?" Narissa showed some intelligence, but she was still curious. "So, I really don't know why you said that. Ariel, do you know?"

Ariel's expression softened, giving Narissa a hint with another saying while holding back her laughter. "Come on, Elise. It's hard for the donkeys to win the race if they're going to carry the elephants on their backs."

"Can donkeys carry elephants? What's with the animal references?" Narissa found the two girlies funny.

She burst into laughter. But soon she thought of the stereotypes of a donkey, and she suddenly stopped and began tickling Elise. "Oh, El. How dare you make fun of my understanding skills? Let me teach you a lesson! And you, Ariel! You two!"

She only tickled Elise though. Elise laughed while dodging her attacks. In the end, she couldn't escape and pretended to be in pain. "Hey! It hurts!"

Finally, Ariel was amused. "I envy the friendship between you two."

Although Elise and Narissa were not biological sisters, they were close like sisters. But Ariel's half-sister hated her to the bone. It seemed that any relationship in this world was predetermined and could not be forced.

Elise smiled. "We are all friends. There's no need for envy. We should spend more time together and take care of each other."

"Tee-hee." Narissa took advantage of Elise's inattention and tickled her underarm. She then said to Ariel, "You're overthinking. It's not a mutual thing between us. Well, it's all thanks to my thick skin. El used to be very independent. If it weren't for me clinging to her, we wouldn't be this close now!"

Hearing this, Elise smiled bitterly, realizing that Irvin's inherited her lone wolf personality.

"So, can I cling to her too?" Ariel joked.

"I think it's doable." Narissa took it seriously. "Elise is capable, and she has the backing of Smit Co. We'll rely on her from now on!"

"Okay!" Ariel nodded seriously.

"You guys are putting a lot of pressure on me," Elise said helplessly.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

"Ah!" Narissa suddenly shouted and started to take out her phone.

"What's wrong? Don't scare me." Elise patted her chest. Narissa's carefree personality was enough to give her a heart attack.

"I forgot to notify Boss. If he knows I didn't tell him that you fainted, he will skin me alive," Narissa complained as she dialed the number.

"Why do you make him sound so scary?" Elise asked.

Narissa raised her eyebrows. "Otherwise, why do you think they call him the devil?"

"Speak of the devil." Ariel looked toward the door and signaled to Narissa.

Alexander had already approached them as they spoke, nervously holding Elise's hand and asking about her condition. "Honey, what's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Narissa ended the call.

"It's nothing. The doctor said something is growing in my stomach," Elise deliberately teased him.

Alexander's heart sank, but he held her hand tighter. "Don't worry. We have Zephyr. He can definitely cure you. If he can't, we'll find a better doctor. I'll be with you. Everything will be fine." He thought Elise had some incurable disease.

Ariel and Narissa exchanged a glance and suppressed their laughter silently.

Even the boss of Smith Co. had moments of being clueless.

"You're so sweet, but the doctor said something else. I'm wondering whether to tell you..."

Elise didn't plan to tease him, but her performance instinct kicked in when she saw how gullible he was. She touched her stomach and looked worried.

Alexander looked at her with concern and then wrapped his long arms around her, holding her in his arms. "If you don't want to say it, don't say it. Just remember, we won't be separated no matter what." Narissa sighed as she watched them. The couple never forgot to show affection, no matter when.

Upon hearing those words, Elise finally couldn't bear to deceive him any longer. "But the doctor said that the things inside my belly will jump out on their own after ten months." "What?" Alexander seemed to come alive all of a sudden. He moved Elise out of his embrace and pinched her shoulder as he scanned her belly with excitement. "Honey, you..." Elise nodded with a smile to confirm his thoughts.

Alexander was so excited he didn't know what to say. He hugged her again and said, "Honey, thank you."

Elise blushed and pushed him away. "Alright, Narissa and Ariel are watching."

"Cough, cough. Don't mind us. We won't look at things we shouldn't. Right, Ariel?" Narissa winked at Ariel.

"Is that so? But didn't I hear someone say I am very scary earlier?" Alexander stood up and looked at her with a false smile.

"That was El who said that. I only said that you're the devil-"

Narissa blurted out before realizing she had given herself away. She laughed awkwardly, looking worse than if she had cried. "Boss, I was just joking. It's a happy moment. Let's not ruin it?" "Elise being pregnant is indeed the only good news we've had in these past few days," Ariel added, thinking about how Danny's life was hanging in the balance. She couldn't help feeling sad.
