Seeing that smiling face, James suddenly had the urge to smack him.
James frowned and thought for a moment, figuring out the sourceâ¦
Andrew got married later than him, yet Andrewâs wife got pregnant firstâ¦
He picked up the pen in his hand again and said coldly, âI wonât approve your leave.â
Andrewâs smile immediately froze on his face, âWhy?â
His wife was pregnant and his boss wonât approve his leave, thatâs too harsh!
James ignored him and continued signing, while Andrew anxiously pleaded, âMr. Evans, just let me take a leave, even if itâs just for a dayâ¦â
Seeing that his boss still didnât pay attention to him, Andrew immediately let go of the table and turned to walk towards the sofa. âIf you donât agree, then Iâll sit here and protest silentlyâ¦â
James: â¦
After giving Andrew a sidelong glance, he opened the drawer and took out a bank card, throwing it directly at Andrew. âCongratulations.â
Andrew was stunned for a moment upon seeing the bank card, then he waved his hand. âYour blessings are enough, I donât need the moneyâ¦â
James put down the pen again, extending his slender fingers to take back the card. âSince you donât want it, then Iâll save it for Zackâs child.â
Upon hearing this, Andrew immediately snatched the bank card back from James. âThen you should give it to me.â
With a thick-skinned smile, Andrew took back the bank card. âWell then, Mr. Evans, Iâll go pick up my wifeâ¦â
Without even lifting his head, James nodded slightly. It was only after Andrew left the office that he raised his eyes, sparkling like stars, and smiled at Andrewâs receding figure.
He was probably the first person around him to become a father, and he naturally felt happy for Andrew. He just wondered when his own child would comeâ¦
James originally didnât want children, but seeing Andrewâs joy made him slightly look forward to it.
However, the moment The thought about the pain Amelia would have to endure, that anticipation instantly vanished. Itâs better not to have children, so his wife could suffer less.
Stella quickly arrived at Imperial Capital and returned to the Simpson family. Karen was sitting on the sofa, scolding the servant severely. When she saw Stella coming in, Karen immediately shut up, quickly helped the servant up, and told her not to cry. After instructing her to get back to work, Karen. stood up and smiled at Stella.
She linked arms with Stella and led her towards the living room, explaining what had just happened.
âShe ruined my dress with the iron. She got scared and kneeled in front of me apologizing. I told her itâs okay, but she was afraid she couldnât afford to compensate for the dress, so she kept crying. I scolded her on purpose, but I didnât expect you to come back so soonâ¦â
After Karen gently finished speaking, she waved her hand towards the teary-eyed girl. âDidnât you see that Stella is back? Stop crying and go back to the kitchen to cook. Remember to prepare more of what she likes to eatâ¦â
The girl looked helpless, glanced at Stella, but didnât dare say anything. She obediently nodded and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
In the past, Stella wouldnât have been able to see through this, but now she could see the sadness in the girlâs eyes. It was probably because she knew that Karenâs cousin had paid money to those thugs.
Only then could she see that her aunt had two faces.
She also thought about how Erin had scolded Karen many times. for being fake, but because Karen was her aunt, she had never doubted what Karen said or the explanations she gave. If she had thought about it more at the time, would she have been able to discover the erent side of her auntâ¦
Thinking of this, Stella calmly pushed away Karenâs hand, and without wasting any time, she sat down on the sofa. Then, she directly stated her purpose, âAunt, I came here to talk about an old matter.â
Karen, who was about to sit down on the sofa, stiffened for a moment upon hearing this, but she sat down without showing any signs of it. Then, she smiled and asked, âWhat old matter?â
Stella took out a stack of documents from her bag and placed them on the glass coffee table. âWhy did your cousin Bart give money to those thugs after they were released from prison back then?â
