My Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 259

Venus hugged the baby tightly and cried even harder.

Outside the room, Xiran Xiao hesitated to knock on the door, and Kevin, who was passing by, stopped in his tracks.

"Xiran, what are you standing here for?"

Xiran pointed to Venus's bedroom and sighed, "Tianye called me to say Venus was crying. He asked me to come and comfort her."

"Why is she crying?" Kevin asked.

"She knows about Kerry's salvaged clothes."

Kevin's eyes glistened with sadness. "But why don't you go in and comfort her?"

Xiran frowned, "I'd like to go in too. But I think we should let her cry for a while."

Kevin nodded and was about to go downstairs, but Xiran called out to him.

"Are you okay?" Xiran asked.

Kevin didn't look back. He didn't want Xiran to see the tears in his eyes. With a choked voice, he said, "I'm fine."

Xiran sighed.

She waited outside the door for five or six minutes, and then pushed the door open and entered.

On the bed, Venus and Pingan were both crying.

Xiran walked up and patted Venus on the shoulder, "All right, all right, don't cry. When you cry, your children cry with you. We've only found Kerry's shirts, not his body. When we find his body, you'll cry then, okay?"

Venus stared at her with teary eyes, and said, "Xiran, are you trying to comfort me? Why am I even sadder after hearing your words?"

Xiran shrugged, "I'm telling the truth. Kerry is just missing. If he comes back one day, won't all your tears be for nothing?"

"Then I just want to be sad, can't I?" Venus choked up.

"But Kerry isn't dead yet, so don't cry. I thought you were a strong woman the other day." Xiran said.

Venus wiped her tears with the blanket, not as sad as before. Xiran looked at Pingan and then wiped his tears with the blanket.

Venus took one look at Pingan and noticed that his large eyes were swollen.

She straightened the collar of her pajamas and said in a very nasal voice, "Can you help me to the bathroom?"

"You have to promise me one thing first," Xiran said.

"What?" Venus asked.

"You're not allowed to cry before we find Kerry.” Xiran said. “Please pretend he's out on a trip.”

Venus thought for a few seconds, and then nodded.

"I want to hear you promise me personally," Xiran said.

"I promise you. I'll live my life until I find Kerry." Venus promised.

Xiran heard her say this and then happily extended her hand, "Here, let me help you to the bathroom."

Venus went to the bathroom with Xiran's help and washed her face on the way.

Since she could not go up and down the stairs because of her leg injury, the maid brought her breakfast directly to her bedroom.

As the maid left, Venus said, "Please let Kevin come over after he has breakfast."

The maid nodded and left.

The New Year's Eve dinner was sumptuous. Mrs. Qin cooked many dishes. The tables were filled with delicious food. Wine filled many glasses. Most of the servants in the villa had gone home on vacation, except for the three who lived nearby, and Venus invited them to join them. Many people were sitting around the table, but Kerry's seat was empty.

.

According to tradition, the lights were turned on in all the rooms of the villa. There were couplets on the doors and red lanterns hung everywhere, which John had decorated all afternoon.

Venus forced a smile and lifted her glass of red wine, "Today is New Year's Eve, so let's put all the sadness aside and have a good time. I'm sure Kerry is still alive, so for the first toast I wish him good luck."

"My brother has been the perfect controller of his own life for the past 30 years. Fate will not give him a sad ending. He will come back safely." "Kevin smiled.

Then everyone raised their glasses.

After New Year's Eve dinner, it was too boring to watch the Spring Festival Gala, so Kevin suggested playing mahjong. This got support from Tianye. But Venus didn't know how to play mahjong, so Kevin invited Henry to join them.

"Can we bet a smaller amount of money? Otherwise I would have lost my salary for the year." Henry said.

Venus sat behind Xiran with Pingan in her arms. She smiled at Henry’s words and said, "I'll pay for the money you lose."

"Really?" Henry asked with surprise.

"Of course. If you lose your money, just take the money I pay you as red envelop for you. If you win, the money will be your year-end bonus."

"Thank you." Henry said happily. "Then I'll have no worries."

Xiran rarely played mahjong, so she wasn't very good at it. "I'm not very familiar with the game, so you'll all have to wait for me to figure out how to play mahjong." She said.

"You have never played it?" Kevin somewhat believed her words.

"Yeah. I rarely play mahjong."
