Matthew continued chatting with Veronica about recent events, but as he spoke, he realized that he wasn’t getting a response. Only then did he notice that she had actually fallen asleep in his arms. Listening to her steady breathing, he didn’t dare move, afraid that he might wake her up.
There had been so much happening in the hidden clan during this period, and she had been under a lot of pressure. He knew she hadn’t been sleeping well, so he hoped she could get some more rest.
Just then, he heard babbling sounds coming from beside them. When he lifted his head, he realized his little one was awake and lying in the crib, babbling and blowing bubbles. Yet, because Ada and Alan looked so alike, he couldn’t tell which one had woken up.
“Hush…” He made a hushing gesture, hoping the little one would settle down, but how could an infant understand? Instead, Matthew’s action amused the baby, who giggled and revealed a small white tooth, looking especially adorable.
In that instant, Matthew truly understood the happiness of being together as a family. Isn’t happiness about embracing my wife and watching my two children grow up safe and healthy by my side?
He thought about getting up to comfort the baby, but Veronica’s head was resting on his arm. Afraid that getting up would disturb her rest, he could only take off his shoes and place his feet on the edge of the crib to gently rock it.
Meanwhile, the adorable baby lay in the crib, enjoying the movements of the rocking crib. After turning over and laying down, the baby nibbled on its little fingers before falling asleep once more.
Seeing that, Matthew turned to the side and looked at the woman in his arms. Her skin was as smooth and delicate as a baby’s, and it was so delicate that it could get scratched easily. Her rosy lips rosy resembled a blooming flower, tempting others effortlessly.
Veronica turned around and faced away from him while asleep. At the same time, she moved her head away from his arms. Only then did he get up and gently cover her with a thin blanket. Silently, he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
As he stepped out, he saw Yvette in the corridor. It had been a long time since she had seen. Matthew, and when she saw him again, her eyes lit up before they became misty. Nonetheless, she simply smiled and said, “You’re finally back, President Kings. I knew you wouldn’t die.”
When Yvette first heard the news of Matthew’s death, she cried for a long time. But upon careful thought, she felt that his death wasn’t quite real. Despite everyone believing that he had died, she was convinced that he was still alive.
With his hands in his trouser pockets, the tall and imposing man walked directly toward her, as cold and aloof as before. He then said in a deep voice, “Tell me about the recent situation.”
At his words, she sniffed and took a deep breath to adjust her mood. Immediately, she opened the folder she was holding and spoke professionally. “Under Mr. Conrad’s management, the Spinfluence Group has been thriving. Several projects are currently underway. However, there seem to be some financial issues with the projects. As for your other companies, they are increasing in profit. Yet, due to Mr. Conrad’s coercion and inducement, several companies we previously collaborated with didn’t renew their contracts after they expired. If you don’t return soon, the company might face some problems.”
She then added, “Also, Mrs. Kings sold Halston Technology to Mr. Conrad at 4.5 billion previously, but she secretly transferred out the UAV’s core data. After that, members of the core technology team gradually resigned and joined our other companies. Although Mr. Conrad now possesses Halston Technology and some other decent technological projects, he has missed out on the core technology of the drone, resulting in significant losses. Since then, he has been targeting and suppressing the other companies under your name.”
