“Mom was the one who instructed me to do so! If you don’t believe me, you can ask her yourself. Don’t take your anger out on me!” Davin defended himself.
Mom asked him to hold the meeting?
But why would she do this?
Evan immediately hung up on his brother and gave Sophia a call.
As soon as Sophia heard her son’s questions, she turned and noticed the somber look on Jonathan’s face. Immediately, she understood that she wasn’t supposed to tell Evan the reasons yet.
As such, she stalled by saying, “There’s no particular reason, I’m just worried, that’s all. Now that Nicole is pregnant, you have to stay home to take care of her. I’m worried that the company might face issues while you are away. That’s why I asked Davin to hold that meeting.”
“Mom, don’t you know that what you did is actually causing more problems? Davin’s meeting is making the top management speculate that the company is facing a crisis. On top of that, they might have more suspicions about why I’m staying home to take care of Nicole. I’ll get John to handle this. So please, don’t get involved in the company’s affairs any further,” Evan said before hanging up.
However, there were still doubts hanging over his head. Mom has always been a wise woman. Why would she suddenly ask Davin to do such a thing?
This move is really uncalled for.
Following his call with Sophia, he asked John to explain Davin’s meeting to the top management by saying that there was a major upcoming project.
Since John had been Evan’s aide for so many years, he naturally understood what Evan meant. “Will do, Mr. Seet! I’ll carry out your instructions immediately. Don’t worry!” he said.
John grumbled inwardly after he hung up the call with Evan. Davin is really creating a mess for the company!
Nicole, who had just woken up, went downstairs. When she saw Evan looking out the window with a gloomy expression, she wondered if there was something bothering him.
She walked up to Evan and asked, “Did something happen to the company? If you need to be there, just go. You don’t have to stay home with me. It’s alright.”
Evan looked at her as his thin lips curved into a smile. “Everything is fine with the company. I was just wondering if you feel bored staying indoors every day. Why don’t I take you out for a drive? Where would you like to go?”
Nicole gave it a thought and replied, “I can’t think of where I want to go at the moment.”
“Didn’t you said that you had a friend whose husband took her traveling while she was pregnant? I recall you saying they visited many countries and had a wonderful time,” said Evan.
“Yes, I mentioned that before. But I never said I wanted to travel,” Nicole brushed him off.
Evan grinned as he tried to coax her. “You didn’t say it explicitly, but I can see the envy in your eyes. I know you want to go traveling too, Nicole. You simply didn’t say it because you are considering the welfare of the company, but my career is not everything to me. Your happiness is more important than anything else in this world. After you give birth, we’ll go traveling, alright? I’m afraid we won’t have the opportunity to do so if we keep procrastinating. So come with me, will you?”
Seeing the sincerity in Evan’s eyes, Nicole felt touched. She knew he was doing this because he loved her.
“Will the company really be fine without you?” she asked worriedly.
Evan chuckled and said, “Why won’t it be? The earth will keep spinning even if there were no humans left. When I had that accident back then, and the time when I went to K nation to search for you, I was away from the company for quite some time. But even then, the company still functioned well. So don’t worry about this, Nicole. Just put yourself first and think about your own happiness for once.”
With a sweet smile on her face, Nicole replied, “Evan, thank you for being so good to me.”
“You’re my wife, and you’re carrying my child. Of course I have to treat you well,” he said.
As Nicole leaned against his muscular chest and stroked her belly gently, her face radiated with joy.
“Well, let’s get packing then. We’ll decide on an itinerary and leave tomorrow,” said Evan.
