Offer To The CEO-Chapter 657: Christmas Plans or Christmas Pains? - Part 1

Wednesday

On entering the hospital for her appointment with the obstetrician Anna turned to Hou Yi and said "I cannot believe you. You let me, forget about ensuring my siblings and the children had Christmas Presents and then you go behind my back and arrange then without telling me.? Then you let me panic before you tell me what you have done."

"Anna, sweetheart. Before they returned James called me and asked did, we want him to arrange for Christmas Presents for everyone, so you did not have to have then sent.? I just gave him money to buy them.? I figured that this was the best option otherwise we would have to arrange and get them to everyone which may have been problematic."

"You took my fun away. I love going shopping for the children especially at this time of year, now I cannot."

Hou Yi observed that Anna had a sulking pouting look and could not help but laugh.

"What in the world are you laughing at, hubby?" There was an angry but somewhat laughing tone behind Anna's words.

"Sweetheart, you look like a child that has had their favourite toy taken away. While Christmas is not big here, there are still people you can buy for. Your brother, Alecia, Tan, Amanda, the boys, my family and Jodie and her husband. And remember next year we will have our own children that you can spoil to your hearts content."

With that, Hou Yi leant down and gave Anna a brief kiss.? They were interrupted by a voice "I though you got enough of that at home. And you are going to become parents soon."

Anna pulled away, turning before saying "You brat, baby brother. I do not know why I put up with you."

Teasingly James responded, "Because you love me, that is why."

"I am annoyed with you. You conspired with Yi and spoilt my Christmas fun. And by the way why are you here?"

"Spoiling your Christmas Fun. Never, I just helped organise a few things before coming here. Alecia and I were shopping for everyone or Christmas so doing your shopping why would it matter. At least this year there will be no going overboard with presents."

"Brat" laughed Anna.

"But I am your baby brother brat, so you cannot disown me. And by the way I am here for two reasons. Yi asked me to come along, in case you get news you do not like, but also to see if there is anything medically your obstetrician wants looked out for and afterwards I have a meeting with the head of nursing about potentially a job."

"So, you intend to nurse in a hospital?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click FreeWebNovel.Com for visiting.

"Just looking at my options sis. Alecia has said that she will support my decision, but I have not decided. Even your husband has offered me a position as a nurse in the company run employee clinic. I just need to explore what is options are open before I make a decision." After a brief pause James continued "Now we need to get you to this appointment, so do not keep delaying."

The three of them, under the watch of the bodyguards headed to the obstetrician's office. As they arrived they were greeted by a member of staff and after a practice nurse took Anna's observations they shown into an office, but with an apology offered as the obstetrician had been with another patient who had given birth overnight and he would be a few more minutes before he would be back.

Sitting chatting among themselves, James realised that Anna, at about just over six months pregnant was extremely frustrated, particularly at her favourite time of year Christmas, being so far from everyone. Since he had been back James had observed how tired Anna was getting. Yes, she loved work and wanted to be there but at the same time the question had to be asked about how much it was in her interests to continue to work.

Despite not being a qualified midwife, he remembered his placement work in maternity and more importantly the lectures Rosemary had given him before returning about what to look for. Damn her, she would when she came out around a month before Anna's due date make her life a misery, but at the same time Anna would need a friendly face with her. Despite his qualifications that was something he did not want to do, as in the end Anna was still his sister and her giving birth was images he did not want to see.

The other thing, and this was something he would have to quietly talk to Hou Yi, and his father-in-law is the upcoming anniversary that Alecia had to get through. That would be a difficult day.
