Chapter 718

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.

Once Ian had departed, Garrett wasted no time in shedding his calm and collected facade. Gripping Laney’s hand, he grumbled irritably, “I can’t fathom why Natalie thought it wise to employ a male assistant for a pregnant woman’s care.”

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?”

Laney hesitated, biting her l*p, unsure if she should reveal Leo’s involvement.

Recognizing her reluctance, Garrett pieced it together immediately.

Without his father’s consent, how could Lola possibly have known about Kailee or dared to deliver a gift on her behalf?

Recalling his mother’s blatant favoritism toward Kailee at home, Garrett’s guilt intensified.

Clasping Laney’s hand, his eyes brimmed with regret and anguish. “Darling, I apologize for bringing you such strife.”
