Chapter 97
After finishing the lunch cooked by the servant, Natalie drove to the Landor family. Since Sherri wasn’t proficient at driving. Natalie picked her up, ensuring a safer and more secure journey.
The car stopped steady at the entrance of the Landor family
She unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. Edward, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, came out to meet her wearing casual pajamas. He looked much thinner, perhaps due to exhaustion from managing his company
She walked forward and called out. “Edward”
Edward gazed at her for a moment, his eyes unconsciously fixated on the thick coat covering her belly.
Noticing Edward’s scrutiny, she felt like he was still upset and awkwardly said. “I came to pick up Sherri.”
He stood there in a daze for a moment before saying. “Okay, let her move in with you tomorrow so you don’t have to keep coming back and forth. It’s also hard on you, especially because it’s not suitable for you to rush around like this. Tonight, when you finish work, just go straight home. I’ll have her things delivered to Evergreen Gardens.” He didn’t know where he had mustered the courage to say these words to her.
“Not a bother, and it’s not too far. If Sherri wants to live with me, that’s fine too. It’s Jamiary 1st, don’t you plan to visit your relatives?” With families like the Landors, there were probably many distant relatives and family members to visit
“No need, she didn’t have to attend this year. Sherri told me you were going for the takeover bid on the Foster Group”
Natalie nodded truthfully. She had guessed the reason why Sherri was not allowed to go.
“When do you want to do it? I’ll help you buy shares. It’s not safe for you to do it yourself”
She didn’t want to keep relying on others to handle things for her, so she politely declined with a smile. “Really, there’s no need. I’ve already made arrangements, and if I can’t handle it. I’ll ask for your help then”
Edward controlled his emotions. “No need to be polite. It’s only natural for me to help you”
She smiled again. “Edward, I’m not lying to you. I really found someone to buy the shares, and it’s been going on for a few days”
After the trending topics involving Mia and Emily, she swiftly submitted an acquisition proposal in Velocity Expeditions for
the shares.
The platform would be in charge of everything and send the acquisition contract over. She just had to sign it and put her thumbprint on it.
She already had a person in mind to hire as a lawyer for further assistance.
“Okay, that’s good. If you need anything, just tell me
Natalie expressed her gratitude once again. She had a feeling that something was changing between her and Edward, and she could sense his subtle aloofness.
