Connell grew up in a carefree environment. So he had never felt unhappy no matter when he was young or after he grew up.

When others said they couldn't fall asleep with a bitter face, he felt as if he had heard a fairy tale.

What was insomnia?

How could a person fail to fall asleep?

Of course, he wouldn't be able to fall asleep if he were to attend a very popular party and be surrounded by all kinds of beautiful women.

But for no reason, shouldn't he just sleep after lying down and eat after waking up?

But today, he had finally tasted insomnia.

Not long ago, Wendy told him that Gavin was actually her elder brother.

At that moment, he couldn't tell what he was feeling at the bottom of his heart. There were some regrets, but most of them were secret feelings of joy.

No matter why Dolly had abandoned Gavin at that time, as long as Gavin was Wendy's brother, they couldn't be a couple.

Thus, he would have a chance.

Later, he did indeed have a chance.

He had once thought that he had an absolute chip to win and that he could defeat Gavin.

However, just now, he learned from his father that all his secret joy and happiness were a complete waste.

Young Master Wesley didn't close his eyes for an entire long night.

In his mind, he would never forget this night forever.

...

The next day, in the Lu Group.

The fight between Gavin and Connell was just a small episode that could not arouse any waves.

Everyone was still more concerned about the scandal between Brian and Miley.

The posts about the gossip were hot on all major news websites. Countless people firmly believed that Brian must have cheated on his wife now that there were photos as proof.

The employees of Lambert Group would occasionally appear on the posts and clarify that Brian had no contact with Xia Mi. So there was really nothing going on between them.

However, everyone agreed that this was a sign of guilt.

Daisy looked helpless. "If Mr. Brian still has contact with Miley, they will definitely say that they don't care about the gossip any more now that their relationship has been discovered!"

In fact, there were actually many people who would believe that Brian didn't cheat, but they just wouldn't miss the fun.

In the face of such a woman as eminent as Miley, if Brian was still indifferent, it could only show that he was absolutely obsessed with Joanne.

However, if Brian really did have an affair, it would be much more exciting.

It should be noted that before Miley appeared, in the eyes of the media and the public, Brian was not only a crazy man who protected his wife, but also the person who had waited for Joanne for 14 years. He was absolutely a spoony man.

If even he cheated, it was enough to prove that there were no handsome, rich, and dedicated men in this world. As for Joanne, she didn't seem to be so worthy of jealousy.

Gavin stepped into the office right on time and heard sighs from the entire secretary's office. He shook his head with a smile.

Daisy really couldn't understand Gavin's smile. She asked, "Special Assistant Gavin, what do you mean?"

"Are you stupid?" Gavin said, "Do you think Mr. Lambert will leave it unattended?"

"It's been a day, and I haven't seen any movement from Mr. Brian!" Daisy said.

Gavin mysteriously raised the corner of his mouth. "Think about what day it will be tomorrow."

Tomorrow was the day when Aiden and Romy were one month year old. Their full-moon party would be held in the Eternal Garden Hotel, and Brian had already invited the major media.

Miley, as the representative of the partner company, of course, would also attend the full-moon party of the two little guys.

The secretaries seemed to have understood something and went to work at ease.

Gavin went straight to the door of the president's office.

After the birth of Aiden and Romy, Gavin was in charge of most of the company's affairs, and he would usually arrive at the company early.

But today, he was almost late.

Brian was curious and asked him, "Why are you late? Is there anything to do?"

Gavin pulled up the chair in front of the desk and sat down. "Hmm," he said, "Qin Lin may contact you soon."

The Qin Group was also a fierce character in the business world, but there was no conflict of interest between the Qin Group and the Lu Group. Besides, there was a significant age gap between Brian and Qin Lin. The two companies had been peaceful all the time. Why did Qin Lin suddenly come here?

Brian soon thought of a key person and asked directly, "What did you do to Connell?"

Gavin just seemed to be casual and impulsive, but in fact, he had always been more rational than his peers.

If Connell hadn't done anything to Wendy, he wouldn't have hurt Connell, and Qin Lin wouldn't need to look for him.

Gavin didn't hide it and said frankly, "Connell was not polite to Wendy, so I didn't have to be polite to him. His hand... should take about a week to recover."

"..." Brian understood-Gavin broke Connell's hand.

Anyway, Connell was the most favored young master of the Qin family. As long as Gavin hurt him, it would be troublesome.

However, it was not impossible to be solved.

Brian was more worried about another problem. "Gavin, do you still care for Wendy?"

"Yes." Gavin didn't deny it. He pinched his eyebrows hard and said, "You should understand that feeling-as if you were possessed by an evil spirit."

"..."

Brian knew the feeling of not being to give up even when you clearly knew that there was no hope.

Because he understood, he couldn't comfort Gavin at all.

"..." Gavin patted the armrest of the chair and stood up. "If Qin Lin wants to get to me, just let him come."

After that, he went back to his office and began to work for the day.

It was already Friday, and the company's working atmosphere was not so intense. When it was time to get off work, almost everyone in the company breathed a sigh of relief.

Brian finished the last document and left the office.

Daisy saw Brian and stood up with a bag in her hand. "Mr. Brian, it was just sent here. It's a dress for your wife."

"Thank you."

Brian looked at the pure white bag, took it, and left the company.

Daisy looked at Brian's back and thought silently, "How could Brian have anything to do with Miley?"

If a man loved a woman, he could not hide it.

Even if he could only hear her surname, his eyes would unconsciously become gentle.

Just like earlier, even though Brian was just carrying Joanne's dress, Daisy could clearly feel the tenderness and care in his movements.

As for Miley, for the sake of the cooperation, she often went to Lambert Group during this period of time.

But no matter how many times she had told Brian that Miss Xia was here, Brian's tone and expression had never changed.

Brian treated Miley exactly the same the way he treated the other partners.

Would those who had spread the rumors that Brian and Miley had an affair feel pain in their faces when they saw these tender actions?

Brian did not care about it at all. After getting in the car, he put Joanne's dress beside him and ordered, "Winston, let's go."

The car soon returned to Prime Villas. Only then did Brian realize that Dolly was also there.

Dolly said with a smile, "Aiden and Romy will be one month old tomorrow. I'm here to see if there's anything I can do for you."

Before Brian could say anything, Joanne had already come over and held his hand. "I told my aunt that you asked someone to prepare for it, didn't you?"

"Yes, everything is ready," Brian said, "Aunt, I will ask Winston to pick you up at the hotel tomorrow. Just wait for Winston's call."

Dolly nodded. "Okay."

At this time, Martha rushed down from the second floor and said, "Madam, Aiden and Romy are awake. Romy won't drink milk no matter what. You should go upstairs and have a look."

Joanne hurried upstairs. To her surprise, Brian did not follow her upstairs.

It wasn't until he couldn't see Joanne and Martha's back that Brian said, "Aunt, do you have anything to tell me?"

"Yes, I'm here for you today." Dolly smiled helplessly. "But since you know that I'm Gavin's mother, you must have guessed what I'm going to tell you, haven't you?"

"..." Brian did not comment.

Dolly continued, "Tomorrow, I want to disclose to the public that Gavin is my son. I don't know if Joanne will be able to accept the news, so... you can tell Joanne ahead of time."

"You don't have to worry whether Joanne can bear it," Brian said, "the person who you should be most worried about is Wendy."

"I'll explain it to Wendy," Dolly said, "I came here today to remind you that you can let Joanne know in advance. If there's nothing else, I'll leave now."

Brian saw Dolly off, while Joanne and Martha came downstairs with the two little ones in their arms.

Aiden was held in Martha's arms, and his face, which looked exactly like Brian's, was as calm as usual as if he was not afraid of anything.

On the contrary, Romy kept humming in Joanne's arms. No one knew what she was protesting about, but she did not cry.

Brian held his daughter lovingly and teased her. The little girl seemed to know that it was her father. She grinned and then obediently leaned her head on Brian's chest.

Suddenly, Brian's heart felt as if it was being soaked in soft water, which was extremely cozy.

Joanne could see that Romy was more attached to Brian.

"Well, it's just because Brian doesn't spend much time with her? There couldn't be any other reason!"

Thinking about it, Joanne asked casually, "Did my aunt go back?"

"She still has something to do, so she left earlier." Brian handed the bag on the sofa to Joanne. "Do you want to try the dress prepared for tomorrow?"

After giving birth to the two little ones, Joanne's size had more or less changed. This dress was custom-made by the designer a week ago.

To be honest, she didn't have the courage to try it on.

Brian saw through Joanne's hesitation and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's a bigger size than before." Joanne almost wanted to cover her face. "What if I don't look good in it?"

Brian glanced at Joanne and said meaningfully, "Yes, it's bigger than before."

Joanne's face instantly turned red. "Where are you looking at?"

Brian said calmly and frankly, "Everywhere."

Considering Martha's presence, Joanne did not dare to say anything more. She grabbed the bag from Brian's hand and ran upstairs.

Brian smiled and handed his daughter to Nanny Elizabeth. He pointed at her tender little face with his slender fingers and said, "Be quiet. I'll go and have a look at your mother, okay?"
