Eighteen Again: The CEO's Wife was a Delinquent

Adrian took a deep breath.

As he stood in front of the door, he could feel his heart jumping right out of his chest. Half of him wanted to run away at that moment – the other still being in utter shock.

He just couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe what's happening. 

Gulping to himself, he then looked at the door before him again. He gripped the bouquet of flowers in his hand before placing his other one on the knob. 

Everything has happened so fast - he still can't believe that his wife has finally given birth. Though it's already been a whole year after they departed and began living temporarily in another country, it all felt like it's just yesterday. Now, they're having their first child at long last. 

Once Adrian gathered enough courage, he finally turned the doorknob and came striding in. There, he found Cassidy laying on top of the hospital bed - half asleep and worn out.

When he closed the door, she quickly perked up, a smile forming on her face the moment she realized that it was him. She held out her hand towards him, and he picked up his pace to grab it immediately. He gave it a tight squeeze before bending down for a bit to give her a kiss on the lips. 

She had done it. She had given birth to their first child -

Their son.

"How're you doing, love? Are you feeling alright? Does anything hurt?" he inquired as he placed the flowers he had brought for her on the couch.

He could see the exhaustion written all over her face. She really looks drained. He could not understand how a woman even managed to stay alive after giving birth. It seemed like an impossible task for him, and it was something that would always amaze him. 

"You should rest. I don't mind watching over you," he said, concerned more than anything else.

"I'm doing fine, dear. Don't worry," she reassured him through a quiet, scratchy voice. 

"Are you sure?" 

"Yes. You can go and head back. Don't you have an important meeting with our business partners today?"

"That doesn't matter right now." 

Adrian heaves out a sigh. Cassidy is just too selfless.

There is no way he is going back to work after his wife has just delivered a baby. He had almost died when he received a call from Mia who was with her at home the whole time, telling him that she was about to go into labor. 

Adrian pats her head, pushing a few strands of hair away from her face. Even though Cassidy is barely hanging in there, he still finds her very beautiful. 

"I'm going to stay right here, and nothing you say will change that."

Unfortunately, the company had needed his help again only after a couple of months since they departed. That's why he had to go back to work not too long after taking a supposedly year-long break. At that moment, however, none of that mattered to him. 

He is finally a dad. He has just become a father to a small baby boy. 

Earlier, he had seen him for a brief moment, and he honestly could not wait to hold him in his arms. He wanted to see what it felt like to be a father for the very first time. Apart from that, he has to be there for his wife. He knows that she's only acting tough right now. There was no way she would want to be alone on such a special occasion. 

Adrian smiles at the thought. He then looks back at Cassidy and finds her staring at him. 

"I guess it's okay. I don't want you to leave me, anyway. Please stay with me, Adrian."

"I will. You don't have to worry about anything, Cassidy. Just rest."

"Thank you." 

"It's nothing. I already contacted everyone else, by the way. They're on their way over here. I think I heard Asher going crazy over the phone." 

"Yeah, I can imagine so." 

Cassidy snickered a little before she laid back on the pillow. Adrian just continued stroking her hair and staring down at her with a fond, loving smile. 

"It finally came true, Adrian. We're parents. You have no idea how happy I am right now. I could just cry out of joy."

And he sees exactly that.

He can see nothing but happiness in her eyes. Despite how exhausted she is, she can still look so vivaciously bright. He smiles wider as he thinks about his own happiness - they finally created a family together.

They have both just been blessed with a child, and it's a boy no less. Back then, a part of him had wanted the baby to be a girl, but now, he realized that whether the baby had been a girl or a boy, his love would have been the same. Nothing would have changed the fact that he was finally a father, and he could not be any happier. 

He gave her hand another squeeze. It was at that moment that they heard a faint knock on the door. He was going to get up to open it, but the door flew open before he even had a chance.

"Congrats, Shade my man!" Asher hollered, rushing in uproariously.

Right then, Adrian suddenly found himself stuck in his bone-crushing embrace. Asher was squeezing him so tightly that he was starting to run out of breath. He was about to push him off of him, but then, he saw him immediately dashing towards Cassidy next. 

"Cassie, my beloved! Congrats to you, too! Good job…!" he cheered before leaning down and giving her a peck on her forehead, which earned a small giggle from her.

"You two are finally parents! I can't wait to see Shade the Fourth! I just hope he doesn't get his father's looks! If he does, he's going to be one ugly-looking baby!"

"What the hell did you just say…?!" his friend practically barked at him, grabbing him by the collar and glaring daggers at him, though he had a feeling that he's just playing around. 

"If you came here to insult others, then just leave! In case you didn't know, only one visitor is allowed at a time! So, go away, moron!"
