Joanne put down the spoon and looked at Brian. After a few seconds, she said,
"Freya often came to accompany Aiden and Romy recently. She is very familiar with them and can look after them well. And we also have Yuna and Martha... See, we got enough people to take care of our children."
It turned out that Joanne had already made an agreement with Freya. No wonder she said that she had no worries.
However, Brian was not convinced.
"He pointed out the heart of the matter, saying, "Can you feel at ease if you leave Aiden and Romy at home like this?"
"..." Joanne hesitated for a few seconds and then said, "In the current situation, I have to."
Seeing Joanne making compromises, Brian responded with a softened tone. "Joanne, you don't need to go to the company to help me. I can handle it."
"Gavin can't help you anymore. If I don't either, how busy will you be?" Joanne looked determined. "I have made up my mind. I must go!"
Brian knew Joanne well. When she made any decisions, it would not be the best time to discourage her.
He had no choice but to agree. "Have a try first. If you can't get used to it, I'll call someone to send you back."
What Brian really thought about was that Joanne would come back on her own if she really missed the two babies when working at the company.
Therefore, there was no need for him to say too much now.
"I will adapt!" Joanne stirred the porridge in the bowl, and there was a rare pride in her tone. "I know what you are thinking. And I'm telling you, seriously, I won't give up halfway. Don't forget what I used to do!"
When she was a student, Joanne had adapted quickly to the anatomy class. After she started to work, she had also adjusted to the endless outdoor police duties and autopsy at a fast speed.
Every single of these things had improved her strength and endurance.
She did not believe that working in an office where there was an air conditioner would be more challenging than working at the police station!
Looking at Joanne who was full of confidence, Brian suddenly realized that maybe he had really underestimated his "little monster".
Perhaps she could gain another kind of joy if working at the company.
After breakfast, Joanne went upstairs to change her clothes.
Today, she was going to wear what Freya had picked for her yesterday: a white silk shirt, a light-colored wool coat, and a pair of flesh-colored ankle boots.
The pattern cutting of the clothes was world-class, but the design was very simple.
According to Freya, wearing such simple but high-quality clothes, Joanne would neither disgrace herself, Mrs. President, nor look arrogant, which was suitable for an "unusual workplace newcomer".
Brian, as usual, wore a dark suit and a black coat, which shaped a sharp contrast with Joanne's warm light-colored clothes. However, they still matched each other.
In other words, the two people who loved each other would always be well-matched in any circumstance.
Looking at Joanne, Brian frowned.
Joanne suddenly felt uncertain and looked at Brian restlessly, asking, "What's wrong?
Brian pondered for a moment and said, "I want to go back on my words."
"Why?" Noticing that Brian had been scrutinizing her, Joanne couldn't help suspecting herself. "Do I look so bad that I'll embarrass you if I follow you out?"
"I just don't want to take you out," Brian put his arm around Joanne's waist and looked down at her, "Joanne, I don't want others to see what you look like now."
His voice was low and deep, which exuded a mysterious temptation.
Joanne could not help wondering that did Brian intend to seduce her in order to stop her from going to the company?
Hmm, she couldn't be fooled!
Joanne took a step back to distance herself from Brian. But she grabbed his clothes with both hands and said with a smile, "No matter how many people look at me, I am yours!"
This unquestionably pleased Brian.
Brian raised the corner of his mouth, held Joanne's hand, and took her downstairs.
Simon and Martha had already carried the two little guys downstairs, and Freya just came over.
FreyOriont straight to the sofa and touched the faces of the two babies. Then she turned to Joanne and Brian and said, "You can go. Yuna and I will take care of them."
Joanne nodded and responded, "Call me if you need anything."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine," Freya said with great confidence, "I am so familiar with them. I can totally deal with them!"
Joanne handed the bag to Brian. Then she walked over to the babies and looked at them.
Romy recognized that it was her mother and looked at Joanne with her clear and bright eyes. She hummed and struggled in Martha's arms as if she wanted Joanne to hold her.
Joanne almost made a concession.
Since the two little guys were born, she had never left them for more than 12 hours.
But for the time being, she could only ask Freya and Yuna to look after them. Iris's safety was more important than accompanying her children.
Rowdy was a cruel person. He would threaten the life of the old lady at any time.
In contrast, she could spend more than half of her life watching the two little guys grow up from children, teenagers to adults.
"Don't cry, Romy," Joanne stroked her daughter's little face, "when grandma comes back, I won't go anywhere else but stay at home to accompany you and brother. But now, I have to help dad bring grandma back. Be obedient, okay?"
Romy hummed twice as if she was very unhappy that Joanne didn't hold her. But in the end, she didn't cry. She just looked at Joanne with her round eyes.
Joanne was afraid that she would be unwilling to leave, so she turned around and walked to Brian decisively and said, "Let's go."
Freya made an "OK" gesture to Brian, indicating that he could rest assured to take Joanne away. She would take good care of the two little guys.
Brian nodded and walked out with Joanne.
When Romy saw her parents left, she pursed her lips and looked like she was about to cry. Freya hurriedly coaxed her. "Romy, your mommy has something to do. You can't let her worry about you. Don't cry, okay?"
The little girl turned her head and buried his face in Freya's arms. Although she didn't cry, she looked extremely frustrated.
Freya didn't feel good either, but she successfully made Romy not cry.
If the little girl cried, Joanne would definitely be distressed. At that time, not to mention going to the company, Joanne might not even be able to step out of the gate of the villa.
Not long after, Yuna arrived.
Freya asked Yuna while teasing Romy, "Has your Boss Hayes left?"
"Yeah, he just left," Yuna was amused and confused. "Freya, why do you learn Wendy and call Wesley Boss Hayes?"
"That's not important," Freya glanced at Yuna and pointed out the key incisively. "The point is that when I said 'your Boss Hayes', you didn't deny it at all! So, you admit?"
"..."
Yuna suddenly realized that Freya was right.
However, she did not know whether she got used to it or she had already accepted the appellation.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yuna's face. She made a fake cough and changed the subject. "What do you need me to do? Making milk for Aiden and Romy?"
"No need for that. Martha said that they've just had milk," Freya sniggered and said, "if you have time, say something about your Boss Hayes. His stories can definitely scare Aiden and Romy!"
Yuna didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She held Aiden in her arms and said, "When Wesley doesn't speak, he is an iceberg. When he talks, he is an iceberg that can make you speechless. There is nothing to tell. Moreover, he is too violent. Talking too much about him is not good for Aiden and Romy's growth."
Freya couldn't help laughing. She said, "Yuna, you're carrying you and Boss Hayes's baby. If he is just like what you said, what about your baby's growth?"
"Well..." Yuna rubbed her temples and said, "I'm also a little worried about that."
Neither she nor Wesley was a person who behaved. Would their child... be a naughty devil?
It would be fine if it was a boy.
But if a girl... Yuna wasn't willing to keep imagining it...
At that time, she suddenly flashed on something.
The doctor in the private hospital had said that her child was healthy and well-developed.
However, according to Dr. Liu, her child had no sign of life.
She had once thought that Rowdy forced Dr. Roberts to lie and wanted her to kill her baby.
But judging from Rowdy's reaction later, Rowdy had not lied. Moreover, like Wesley, he didn't know Dr. Liu had once checked out that the child was not alive.
The private hospital was unlikely to be the one to blame. The doctors there were undoubtedly professional, and the inspection equipment was also the most advanced. It was impossible for them to make mistakes.
In this way, if there was nothing wrong with Dr. Roberts, then... there must be something wrong with her.
Thinking about that, Yuna felt a chill all over her body.
When the doctor in the private hospital said that her child was very healthy, she was ecstatic.
If it was just a hollow joy, she would probably break down completely.
Looking at Yuna who suddenly quieted down, Freya poked her arm confusingly and asked, "Yuna, Boss Hayes just left. Don't you tell me you miss him so soon? Alas, I miss Chris too..."
"... I don't miss him," Yuna changed the topic while coaxing Aiden, "if Wendy has nothing else to do, we can ask her to come over and play with Aiden and Romy. I remember Romy likes her very much."
Freya called Wendy and asked how Gavin had been these days first.
"Gavin is good," Wendy said with a smile, "he even helped his cousin-in-law deal with company affairs these days! He will receive the last treatment a few days later."
"Gavin will receive his last treatment in a few days?" Freya said to herself, "oh, never mind."
Wendy asked in puzzlement, "Freya, what's wrong? Why are you calling me?"
