Right Person, Wrong Time

"Alright, thank you for doing this." Nicole nodded. She couldn't stop Darcy from leaving if she wished to do so.

Upon seeing this, Darcy promptly turned around and left without second thoughts.

Chloe watched Darcy's departure, feeling perplexed. However, noticing Nicole's understanding expression, she refrained from asking further questions.

Back in the country.

Wendy was ecstatic when she learned that Nicole had given birth to a boy. However, she didn't know who to share this joyous news with.

She gazed at the photograph of the little boy that Chloe had sent her. As she silently confirmed that this was her brother's child, she only felt happier.

Nicole had been feeling increasingly fatigued lately. To keep Wendy updated on Nicole's condition, Chloe exchanged contact details with her.

Beryl, who was occupied with some tasks at hand, noticed Wendy's smile and deduced that Nicole must have given birth.

Based on his calculations, she should have given birth in the past few days.

"What's making you smile?"

Beryl feigned ignorance and quirked an eyebrow at Wendy.

"It's nothing."

Wendy turned her head to glance at Beryl and dismissed his question.

Starting last month, both sets of parents began to match her with Beryl. For some reason, they believed the two were a perfect match.

As a result, she was forced to come to Beryl's company every day to accompany him to work under the watchful eyes of her parents. This led to the current situation.

"Alright. If there's any good news, feel free to share it with me. You would be bored just sitting here every day."

Beryl was merely teasing Wendy. Seeing her like this brought him immense joy.

"There's nothing. I just saw a joke. But considering your poor sense of humor, I decided not to tell you about it."

Wendy forced a smile, almost grinding her teeth as she responded to Beryl.

Does this man ever quit? Does he have to probe until he uncovers everything?

"Alright."

Beryl knew when to back off. He simply responded casually and then concentrated on managing his company's affairs.

Recently, Kendrick had initiated new strategies. In order to prevent him from penetrating the domestic market, and to suppress Kendrick's company on the other hand, Beryl had been occupied with searching for evidence.

Seeing Beryl resume his work after a brief exchange, Wendy couldn't help but observe him.

She couldn't deny that this man looked rather attractive when he was engrossed in his work.

There had to be a lot of issues to resolve with Kendrick recently, right? The last time she saw him this engrossed was when they were overseas.

Was it a crucial phase?

Wendy speculated from the sidelines. She only had a vague understanding of such situations. She would relay everything she knew to Nicole, and Nicole could assist her brother a bit and provide a lot of significant information.
