Chapter 745 It seemed Garrett had really matured.
Unaware of Brandonâs thoughts, Garrett said in a downcast tone, âPlease tell Laney that I wonât force her. I will give her time to calm down. And I hope she can give me an opportunity. I will settle the problems with the Harding family.â
Brandon agreed to Garrettâs request.
Natalie had been nervously watching him answer the phone call. The moment Brandon hung up the phone, she asked with concern, âHow is everything going with Garrett? Is he angry that Laneyâs leaving?â
A smile broke Brandonâs serious expression from seeing the nervous look on Natalieâs face. âDonât worry, Garrettâs very calm right now.â
âReally?â Natalie couldnât seem to believe it.
Brandon nodded and sighed. âAfter what happened this time, Garrett has been more mature. If I were him, I might not be able to be calm enough to simply wait in Barnes.â
Natalie angled her head teasingly. âThen what would you do?â
Brandon pulled Natalie into his arms and looked into her eyes affectionately. His tone was serious when he said, âI would find you right away and make sure you wonât be able to leave my side. Youâll have to stay with me forever.â
With her arms around Brandonâs neck, Natalie smiled gently. âYou wouldnât even let the whole thing happen, to start with.â
Raising his eyebrows, Brandon asked, âYou know me so well?â
Natalie kissed him. âYouâre my husband, of course, I know you,â she said against his lips. âBut...â
A second or two passed before Natalie continued, âI think Laney and Garrett could have a happy ending. No matter how much hardship they have gone through, their love for each other will always make a way for them to eventually be together.â
Brandon had a different opinion, however. âIf Garrett wants to make up with his wife truly, heâll only succeed when he reorganizes the Harding family.
He needs to get rid of the shackles of the Harding family completely for Laney to be really happy.â
Natalie nodded in agreement.
Garrettâs next steps would dictate the future of their marriage. Through Natalieâs help, Laney managed to go to another city with her baby.
âMrs. Harding, itâs cold here. Youâd better put on a coat,â Ian reminded, as considerate as ever.
He opened the suitcase, took out a warm coat, and carefully put it on Laneyâs shoulders.
Laney nodded her thanks. She did feel a chill.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the airport, several people surrounded them. The person leading the group gave a courteous nod and said respectfully, âHello, Mrs. Harding. Mrs. Larson has arranged a residence for you. We are here to pick you up. Please follow me.â
Laney bobbed her head as she scanned the airport.
Teresa said she would pick her up, but Laney didnât see her.
Then suddenly, a surprised voice came from somewhere. âLaney! Iâm here!â
Laney heard the voice and immediately spotted Teresa happily waving at her as she rushed toward their direction.
âI was stuck in a traffic jam just now,â Teresa explained when she reached Laney.
Laney smiled reassuringly, âIt doesnât matter. I just got off the plane.â
Teresaâs eyes found the baby in Laneyâs arms and exclaimed, âIs this your baby? Sheâs so cute! Whatâs her name?â
Laney pursed her lips. âWith everything that happened recently, I havenât had the time to give her a name.â Her regret oozed out of her bitter tone.
Laneyâs haggard expression and exhausted posture was the first thing Teresa noticed when she saw her. It was like her bright personality had flickered. She wasnât as energetic as before.
Feeling sorry, Teresa said, âYou lost so much weight.â
Laney teased with a smile, âWhat can I say? Pregnancy is the best weight loss regimen.â
Teresa burst into laughter.
Relief settled in her chest seeing that Laney was still in a mood to joke.
âIâm relieved to see that youâre fine.â
Teresa didnât ask what had happened to Laney, but she knew that Laney would tell her someday when she was ready to say it.
Pulling Laney in a gentle hug, Teresa whispered in her ear, âLaney, congratulations on your rebirth.â
Hearing this, Laneyâs eyes turned red.
Leoâs temper rose when he learned about the ruckus Vera had caused at the hospital.
âLook at you. Youâre getting more and more reckless!â Leo scolded with rage.
He pointed at Vera and continued, âThe Harding family has a reputation to uphold. Yet, how dare you do something as shameful as snatching a child at the hospital?â Vera did not dare say a word as she knew she was in the wrong.
She had been feeling regretful since the moment she found out that Kailee was not a good person.
Why was she so impulsive? Why did she cause a scene at the hospital, creating a distance between her and her son? Now, she had become the largest laughing stock in Barnes!
Vera was utterly embarrassed. She lowered her head and whispered, âWhat should we do now?â
Leo frowned and sighed deeply. âWell. Thereâs no other choice. We must personally visit and fetch Laney and her child. Considering us to be her elders, Laney should show us some respect and comply,â he replied.
Vera was displeased and grumbled in a small voice, âLaney is our daughter-in-law. Why do we have to plead with her to go home? Moreover, sheâs quite disobedient now. She may not be willing to come back.â
Leo stared at Vera and sneered, âAlthough you and Laney donât get along well, she still treats me with respect. Iâm sure sheâll come home if I am to step in.â
Vera pursed her lips and remained silent. She felt that Laney would not be as compliant.
Soon, the two of them arrived outside of Laneyâs ward. To prevent any clashes between Vera and Laney, Leo whispered to Vera, âThis time, stand aside and watch. Donât say anything unnecessary.â
âI got it. Letâs hurry in,â Vera urged.
Leo cleared his throat and pushed open the door while looking solemn.
