Julian smiled frustratedly. “You know I love you. Don’t be wayward, okay? Honestly, I don’t like the way he looks at you.”

These jealously-laced remarks would, more or less, make a lady happy. Vivian squinted, snuggling up into his arms. “Are you being jealous? It’s been a while since I last saw you get jealous because of me. I’m so happy!”

“Then I think I should go with Mr. Larson,” she said part-jokingly.

“Don’t you dare!” Julian put his arms around her neck and said fiercely, “If you dare to run away with him, believe it or not, I will break your legs!”

“You’re so harsh!” Vivian stuck out her tongue. She seemed to rem something

and said shyly. “Don’t worry. Even if Mr. Larson really has feelings for me, nothing will happen between us, especially right now.”

“What do you mean?” Julian didn’t get it.

She looked at him affectionately, picked up one of his hands, and then gently put it on her lower abdomen. “I may… have a bun in the oven.”

“Bun…

Julian couldn’t grasp what she meant at first. When he came back to his senses, his hand’s strength instinctively grew stronger, and he asked with an ecstatic voice, “A bun in the oven? Are you pregnant? Are you carrying a baby? Is it mine?!”

He was acting like a child now. Vivian slapped him in a pretense of anger and said, “Nonsense! Whose baby can it be if it’s not yours?”

“Yes, I’m going to be a father. I’ll have a son!” He was so happy that his palm kept rubbing against her lower abdomen as if he could touch the baby.

“Don’t be reckless. I said maybe. I’m not certain.”

“Not certain?”

Vivian nodded and said, “Right. My period is half a month late, and I feel a little nauseous recently. I bought a test kit to check it, and I got a positive result.”

Then why did you say you weren’t certain about it?” It was hard for a man to understand. “Didn’t you go to the hospital and check it out?”

“It’s still early. I’ve heard that in the early stages of the pregnancy, the hospital wast unable to confirm it. The test kit showed two strips, which is not obvious. I’ll go to the

hospital and check it out in a few days, Vivian remarked softly.

Julian nodded repeatedly. “Okay! You’re right. Don’t go traveling recently.”

He brought up the subject again.

Π

Vivian was not happy right away. She pouted as she left his arms. “No! It’s not easy to get such an opportunity. If I am indeed pregnant, I won’t be able to travel around or participate in other activities for at least a year or two. I will definitely regret it if I miss

this chance.”

Julian couldn’t resist it when she gave him puppy eyes, not to mention knowing that she was pregnant now, so he didn’t want to argue with her.

But…

“No more buts. I’m already pregnant, so why don’t you indulge me once? I’ll do as you ask

you after this time, okay?” Vivian coaxed him softly. She had spent so much time with him that she was aware of his weaknesses.

Vivian had gotten to know Julian well and quickly won him over while he and

Seraphina were still dating. She was positive that she had him under control and that he would submit to her..

As expected, Julian couldn’t stand it anymore and gave in. “All right, I give in. But make sure you don’t get too close to Mike. I will have someone go with you.”

“You don’t believe me?!” She had been pretty joyful at first, but her face abruptly darkened again upon hearing the last words.

“It’s not that I don’t believe you. I’m protecting you this way. If you are in danger out there, or if he has any intentions toward you, at least you will have someone to watch.

out for you.”

Vivian twisted her waist and said, “You just don’t believe me whatsoever!”

“That’s not what I meant. You can go if you want. It’s settled.”

Julian would not allow her to argue any further after stating this because it was his bottom line.

wanted to bring some talents back.

Seraphina’s departure from the organization had caused a significant setback. He had realized the value of talent and felt compelled to hire more of it to ensure that the company’s operations would not be negatively impacted if a key employee quit. It was

too upsetting otherwise.

However, there was a problem with the essential oil this time. He couldn’t afford to make any more mistakes. He had to watch it in person, so he could not go away.

Permitting Vivian to go was acceptable. She might get more insight and be able to assist him later on. Though her talent was not as great as Seraphina’s, she was at least devoted to him. He could rest more assured now that she was carrying his baby.

Thinking of the child, she looked at her lower abdomen. Although it was still flat, it had already given birth to a baby, which made her happy.

In contrast to his cheerful disposition, Vivian was not as joyful. She thought, ‘How can I bring someone along when I’m traveling for fun? Besides, if I did, what would Mike

think of that?

‘Never mind. I can’t reason with him now. I’ll see how it goes and improvise.

The day Seraphina left for her work trip. Dashiell did not see her off. She refused to let the family driver drive her and insisted on taking a taxi with her suitcase since she was afraid of being spotted.

Before heading out, she gave Dashiell a big hug to calm him down because he appeared resentful while jokingly saying, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I’ll be back soon. Don’t mess around!”

“Likewise.” Dashiell embraced her and pinched her waist in retaliation.

“Ouch…” She felt speechless!

She got in the car and rushed to the airport. Dashiell stood in place, watching her car gradually go away. Brayan, who had been silent as a stone statue, stepped forward and asked, “Mr. Martinez, you don’t intend to tell Mrs. Martinez that you are going there

too?

“Wouldn’t it spoil the fun?” Dashiell asked lazily as he tilted his head and looked at him.

Brayan murmured, “Well…”

Fun? Since when did his boss become interested in having some fun?

“Have the tickets been upgraded?” Dashiell asked, turning around and making his way

back.

“Yes, including Ms. Lawson’s. I also mentioned to them how much the company valued this trip and had made particular arrangements for it,” Brayan explained courteously.

He even asked Darian to do it just to make it sound plausible.

“OK”

Dashiell headed back inside, which he felt quite deserted. ‘How could it be so deserted?” he exclaimed inwardly.
