The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 179

Jocelyn was curled up on the couch seemingly asleep when Daisy and Calvin returned home.

She tiptoed to the kitchen with Calvin, shut the door behind them and began to prepare lunch.

“Do you think you might be overthinking this?” Calvin glanced back at his daughter, lowering his voice. “Maybe she just really craves your shrimp scampi.”

Daisy sighed, “It’s just that her visit today fell so abrupt, and so did her cravings.”

“Then tell me, what seems off to you? What could she possibly be up to?” Calvin trusted his daughter.

Suddenly Daisy jumped, wiped her hands and hurried to the bedroom.

She returned after a while, taking another peek at her still sleeping daughter before slipping back into the kitchen.

“What were you doing?” Calvin couldn’t figure out what she was up to all day, always so jittery.

“It just hit me what felt strange.” Daisy whispered to Calvin, “I was afraid she’d come back to quietly take her birth certificate. Thankfully, it’s still there.”

Calvin rolled his eyes, “You’re really overthinking this.”

“It’s not like she hasn’t done such things before,” Daisy knew her daughter well. “You didn’t see her face the other day when I disagreed.”

“She wouldn’t,” Calvin had faith in his daughter.

“She better not, Daisy relaxed only after checking. “It’s better to stick to the rules.”

Seeing his wife so suspicious, Calvin just shook his head helplessly and kept silent.

By the time the meal was ready, Jocelyn had woken up.

“Check with Melvin if he wants to join us for dinner,” Daisy’s tone was brusque.

Jocelyn was already seated at the table, “He won’t come. He’s meeting with clients today.”

“He’s so young and already running such a big company, not to mention his other ventures. Truly impressive,” Calvin was quite fond of Melvin, who was indeed an accomplished young man.

All parents hope to have such a talented child in their family.

Jocelyn ladled some soup, “Yeah, it’s not easy for him.”
