“Come lie down and sleep for a while. There’s still time before we need to get to the hospital,” I said as
I tugged on his shirt. I was always worried that his body couldn’t handle the work stress.
“It’s fine. I slept for two hours in the office earlier. That’s enough. I came home to take a shower.”novelbin
“Go ahead then. Heat the water a little. It can help you destress.”
Ashton patted my head worriedly before getting up to go into the shower.
I didn’t feel sleepy anymore but I wasn’t able to ease the anxiety as I leaned against the bedhead.
What is the world really like? Seeking progress was clearly what mankind had always advocated but no
one had ever told me that while going forward in life, it would be walking on thin ice every day.
I suddenly remembered that when Ashton took over Fuller Corporation, he was almost always never
home. Except for Rebecca’s troubles, it seemed as though he couldn’t relax for even a moment.
Soon, he came out of the bathroom in a bathrobe. He took me in his arms and leaned against the bed
as he rested his eyes for a moment.
“Did Sean come in the afternoon?” he asked.
I had never thought of hiding it from him, so I nodded and said, “Yes. He wanted to bring me to M
Country.”
“He can dream on then,” Ashton sneered sinisterly. “GW is no longer the partner I’m considering
collaborating with.”
He was an outstanding man so he wasn’t exaggerating at all. As long as he had enough time, the
Fuller Corporation would definitely be at the same level as GW. However, I was worried that I wouldn’t
be able to support him without caring about everything else like how I had been in the past. I closed my
eyes as I leaned against him and pretended to fall asleep.
……
The embryo transfer went successfully and I had been resting at home for the next half a month.
Emery and Rose would come and visit me from time to time so it wasn’t too boring since I had
someone to talk to. Besides, I needed to concentrate because I had to prepare for my bar exam. I had
nothing else to do so I sent Stella back to the company.
There was only over a month left to the first round of exams so there wasn’t much time left for me to
study.
At five in the evening on the first Sunday we waited for our pregnancy results, which was also the
twelfth of March in K City, Fuller Corporation announced that Ashton owned 30% shares of a company
in Dartan. They also issued an acquisition notice in Dartan, hoping to acquire Eisen Corporation.
Fuller Corporation had proposed a contract of acquisition to Eisen Corporation and it would last for two
months. Ashton was generous with the money and it was estimated that there would lead to an
increase in the shares transferring not long after.
We were having dinner together when Rachel barged into our house.
We could hear the clacking sound of her stilettos on the floor before we even saw her and it suited her
haughty personality so much.
She entered the living room and looked around. I noticed her first and I asked, “Ms. Zimmer, have you
had your dinner? Would you like to eat with us?”
Upon hearing my voice, she turned towards me. Only then did I realize that besides her heavy
breathing, she also had an expression on her face that told people not to mess with her.
Rachel walked over and instantly threw the folder she was holding at Ashton. “Why didn’t you discuss
this matter with everyone, Mr. Fuller? Our own AI research project is starting to show results. Why did
you buy over the Eisen Corporation right now? Are you trying to get the whole team fired?”
Even though this wasn’t the first time I experienced her temper, I was still shocked. I could tell that she
had no ulterior motives so I quickly told her, “Please calm down. We can sit down and talk about it.”
Rachel crossed her arms and was still furious. It didn’t seem like she wanted to have a peaceful
conversation at all.
