Never Judge

Chapter 249 - 249

On little Emilio's second month celebration Uncle Matthew and Henry managed to join. They had been focused on Margaret's recovery and treatment so they hadn't even met little Emilio yet. 

"Uncle, cousin!" Adrianna happily greeted as she walked up to her uncle and cousin. She was carrying her son in her arms as he slept soundly. Nurse Jen followed after her since she still needed extra care due to her delicate state.

"Is this the little prince?" Henry asked, as he looked at the baby in Adrianna's arms.

"He's been such a good boy so far." Adrianna said, as she smiled at her son.

"No late night tantrums?" Uncle Matthew asked, as he touched the little boy's head. 

Adrianna laughed. "No, he always sleeps through the night." 

"How about you cousin? How are you? Cedric told us that you had a difficult labor." Henry asked. 

"I'm feeling better. Nurse Jen is here to take care of me." Adrianna said pointing at the nurse behind her. "You can rest now Nurse Jen. A lot of people are here with me and they can take care of me. We'll call for you when I need help." Adrianna told Nurse Jen.

Nurse Jen bowed and left. She would probably head for her room to rest. Cedric had let her stay at one of the guestrooms, he even assigned a maid to assist her. 

"One month!" Someone said loudly from outside.

"No, I'm not sharing!" Adrianna saw Eric say to his companion. 

Eric arrived holding hands with none other than Katerina and the person he was arguing with was Ram. 

"Mr. Chan, Mr. Abad, Miss Sebastian." Uncle Matthew respectfully greeted. 

"Please uncle, we are practically family, just Eric will do." Eric said, Ram and Katerina simply nodded beside him agreeing that the elder should drop the formalities. "How is Margaret doing?" Eric asked.

"She is recovering quite well. Dr. Sara is such a blessing." Uncle Matthew said happily, praising Eric's friend. 

Adrianna watched as a hint of jealousy passed Katerina's eyes. She didn't even know that those two had started dating.

"I told you Dr. Sara was the best." Eric said with a smile as he slipped his arm around Katerina's waist. He knew she was getting jealous. 

Adrianna was surprised when someone suddenly hugged her from behind. She looked up to see Cedric as he kissed her on the forehead. "Hey beautiful." Cedric said with a wink.

"Uncle Matthew, Henry. Thanks for finally joining us, I hope Margaret is doing well and will fully recover soon." Cedric said with a nod to them.

Adrianna saw as he looked at Eric and Katerina and just laughed. 

"Come on Eric. I need this." Ram suddenly begged Eric again.

"Eric, just agree." Katerina said as she planted a kiss on his cheek. 

"Fine. But you can't touch her!" Eric finally gave in.

"What are those guys arguing about?" Adrianna asked Katerina. 

"Ram still needs a fake girlfriend. I said I didn't mind, but Eric won't agree. I was actually worried that he would punch Ram again." Katerina told Adrianna with a laugh. "Let go of me Eric. I wanna play with Emilio." Katerina said as she removed his hand from her waist.

Eric suddenly pulled her to him and kissed her on the lips before finally releasing Katerina.

"Since when?" Adrianna asked as she handed her son over to Katerina.

"A week ago. Trust me it is not a story worth retelling." Katerina said as she looked at little Emilio who was waking up in her arms. 

"I heard differently. According to my sources you got together in a very Chan like way." Cedric said with a laugh.

"Chan like? Really? Coining your own terms now?" Katerina said as she glared daggers at Cedric. 

Cedric just laughed and ignored her question.

"I'm pretty sure your so-called source was Ayanna." Katerina said when Cedric just laughed. 

"Ian could have told me." Cedric said with a shrug. 

"Ian wouldn't call it Chan like, he wouldn't dare." Katerina said with a laugh. She had guessed right.

"Oooohhh, Katerina you look so ladylike with a baby in your arms!" Her mother, Rebekah Torres-Sebastian, said as she and her husband arrived.

"Mom!" Katerina complained. 

"Auntie, no need to rush. It will come eventually." Eric said with a laugh as he greeted the Sebastian parents.

"I trust the two of you have managed your issues?" Jose Sebastian asked Ram and Eric. The other parents were well aware of the issues that the Abad family and Ram faced, they even gave their suggestions on how to deal with it.

"Yes uncle." Ram said with a nod.

"Good. And Eric, stop calling us uncle and aunt. Just call us mom and dad." Jose Sebastian said with a wink. 

Uncle Matthew and Henry were surprised to see the country's president act in such a casual way.

???I didn't say I'd marry him yet!" Katerina complained. "We just started dating." 

"Yet. You said yet." Ram teased. "Stop denying it Katerina, you like Eric more than you let on." 

"Shut up Ram, or I'm doing what Eric wants." Katerina threatened.

"Katerina, can't you be more ladylike? You have little Emilio in your arms." Her mother scolded.

"Yes mom." Katerina sighed as she looked down at the baby.

"You know, if we had our own, you wouldn't need to give the baby back." Eric whispered to her. 

She gave him a warning glare and he just laughed.

"Matthew, Henry. I was thinking there was a government project that would be perfect for Island's Inc. do you mind if we discuss it?" Jose Sebastian asked Adrianna's relatives. "Do you want to join us Adrianna?"

"I think I'm well enough. I'll just listen, the management of Island's Inc. still stays with Henry and Uncle Matthew." Adrianna said with a smile.

"You can use my office." Cedric offered. 

Adrianna nodded and led everyone there. 

"Are you going to let her go back to work?" Eric asked as his eyes remained glued on Katerina.

"She'll melt if you keep staring at her like that." Ram teased. 

"Our deal was one year. She has to rest for a year before going back to work." Cedric told his friends.

"Knowing you, she'll probably be pregnant again by the time she goes back." Katerina teased.

"Do you want me to encourage Eric to get you pregnant?" Cedric threatened and Katerina didn't say a word.
