He put his arm around Laney s shoulder and declared his possessiveness, “If you can take good care of my wife and child, of course, I will thank you generously.”

Ian responded with a smile and said nothing. Laney enjoyed watching Garrett jealous, but she held back her laughter and said, “Alright, that’s enough. All that matters is that he takes good care of me and the baby. Why are you getting so upset?”

Garrett remained silent, snorting coldly in response.

Ian, eager not to intrude on the couple’s intimate moment, sought an opportune excuse to sl*p away from the ward and attended to other matters.

Laney, preferring to avoid conflict, deftly steered the conversation in another direction. “Today, Kailee had Lola bring a peace offering as an apology to me.”

“What?” Garrett’s brow furrowed, his striking visage clouding over. “I explicitly warned her to leave you be, and yet she persists. And that Lola — she takes liberties without permission. Does she have any desire to keep her job?”
