Chapter 1404 Are You Still Working at Home?
As for Bonnie, Brandon only wished for her to have a happy and fulfilling life. When it was time for her to get married, he would prepare a significant amount of dowry for her so that she wouldn’t have to worry about money for the rest of her life.
However, Brandon was wrong, for Bonnie would not be satisfied with only a hefty dowry, wanting the entire Silverstein Family inheritance instead. Even if she couldn’t get it all, she had to have half of it.
Originally, Nigel wanted to accompany Queenie for dinner, but he had a meeting coming up and had to return to the company. Therefore, the two parted and went on with their own businesses. Having gone through this jealous and angry occasion, the two now clearly understood their feelings and knew how much they loved each other.
Nigel was driving toward his company when his phone rang, and when he looked, he saw that it was Elliot, whom he had not contacted for quite a while.
“Hey, Elliot.”
“Aunt Brenda said you got a girlfriend. This isn’t a joke, right?” Elliot’s deep voice sounded from the phone.
Because Nigel had lied to them with this excuse many times, of course, they wouldn’t believe him when he said he was seeing someone, which made him at a loss for what to say. “I’m not lying. I really do have a girlfriend. I’ll bring her to meet you guys later.”
At that moment, the cries of a young child came from the other end, followed by an incoherent voice. “Daddy…”
Nigel immediately felt his heart soften. “Hey! My little niece, your voice sounds so cute!”
“She’s such a clingy child.” Elliot’s voice was filled with affection as he said that.
“I’m so jealous! Elliot, I want a daughter that is as cute as Willy.” While thinking of the last time he visited his niece, Nigel couldn’t get the image of the chubby child with the smell of baby shampoo out of his mind. She was exceptionally cute, and he was so jealous that he was drooling.
“So, you’d better quicken your pace! Give birth to a younger sibling to play with Willow.” After saying that, Elliot turned to his daughter and asked, “How about it, Willow?”
Then there was more incoherent baby talk before Elliot’s voice could be heard again.” Alright then, let’s talk again later. I need to watch over my daughter.”
“Elliot, don’t tell me you’re still working at home!” Nigel asked, feeling curious. The last time he visited Elliot, he discovered that Elliot had basically moved his office back home, and the reason was simple. His cute and clingy niece couldn’t leave her daddy. She would bawl her eyes out whenever she saw Elliot leave.
Therefore, Elliot had been settling his work matters at home to take care of his daughter.
“Yes! For half a year, I won’t be going to the company if there aren’t any important matters and will be working at home. Willow is too clingy.” When saying that, Elliot’s voice was full of adoration and pride.
“Alright then! I’ll swing by to visit my two nephews someday and bring them out to play.”
“Sure, and I’ll be waiting for your good news.” Elliot finished his words and hung up.
Then, Nigel couldn’t help but start imagining what his and Queenie’s child would look like.
Will my child look like me? As he thought of that, a smile appeared on his lips, which looked quite idiotic.
At the Presgrave Residence, under the sunset, a young boy happily played soccer on the grass patch when a chubby figure shakily walked over from the hall. At one year and two months, the child had dense, short hair that reached her ears. A slight breeze blew, messing up her hair a little, adding even more cuteness to her chubby and round face.
Her small limbs that resembled lotus roots and round face were obvious signs that she was a chubby kid, but her big black eyes that looked like black grapes and her small nose and lips made her look as pretty as a doll.
“Jared…” The child was waving her small arms as she wobbly made her way toward her older brother, and behind her came a handsome and composed man in a casual shirt. His every move exuded a mighty temperament.
The small and chubby child before him only reached his knees.
“Daddy.” The child wanted to head over and play with her brother and turned around to hug one of her daddy’s legs, indicating that she wanted him to hug her.
