Chapter 246
While they were eating. Cynthia came downstairs. Jasmine scrutinized her expression unabashedly. Cynthia felt embarrassed and asked, “Grandma Jasmine, is there something on my face!”
“Yes,” Jasmine responded.
Hearing this, Cynthia thought her face was dirty and touched it. Then, she turned to Liam and asked, “Is there something on my face?”
Liam swallowed the food in his mouth, looked down at her perfect face, and smiled faintly. “It’s clean and pretty. Don’t worry.”
Cynthia looked back at Jasmine helplessly. “Grandma Jasmine-
Jasmine was relieved to see there were no grudges between the two young people. She put a piece of steak on Cynthia’s plate and smiled. “Eat this. I was wrong earlier.”
Next, they had a relaxed dinner. Cynthia talked about the border from time to time, and the two older folks listened with great interest After dinner, Liam went to the study as usual
Cynthia took the medical kit to check David’s legs, Just like last night, she first checked for any improvement before proceeding When injuries involved bones, recovery usually took a long time. This was true for the young, and even more so for the elderly
line with the treatment.
After the treatment, Cynthia gave David his toedicine and offered a few reminders before heading back to her room. At this time, Liam was still in the study. Cynthia held the contraceptive pill and folic acid in her hand, her expression conflicted. She knew that Liam wanted to have a child, and David and Jasmine had been looking forward to a grandchild for a long time. They must be very anxious, but they didn’t want to put pressure on her, so they didn’t show it.
Now that she had decided to be with Liam forever, having a child seemed inevitable. After thinking for a while, Cynthia finally chose one pill and took it. Cynthia felt much more relaxed after she made up her mind.
She washed up and waited for Liam to come back to the room to tell him her decision. However, for some unknown reason, Liam didn’t return to the room even in the early hours. Eventually, Cynthia couldn’t help but fall asleep
In the study, Liam sat at his desk with company documents spread out in front of him
A man who could usually skim through pages was now taking forever just to get through one. He kept thinking about what Cynthia would choose When the clock finally struck one in the morning, he couldn’t sit still any longer. He went back to their room and found that Cynthia had fallen asleep.
He picked up the bag of medicine from the bedside table. Seeing that the contraceptive pills inside were still untouched, he felt a surge of excitement and nervousness. He looked deeply at Cynthia sleeping on the bed and thought. The birth control pills are untouched, Does that mean you want to have a child with me, too?
To further confirm Cynthia’s decision, Liam took out the bottle of folic acid again. The seal was broken, but unlike the birth control pills, which clearly indicated usage since there were still two left, it was difficult to determine if the folic acid had been consumed. So, he took two clean papers and poured the folic acid tablets on them, counting them one by one.
Despite still being dressed in his dark work sult from the day, Lium, usually decisive and strategie in the business world, was now squatting at the bedside, counting pills secretly. The sight was comical.
Finally, when he confirmed that there was a discrepancy between the number of pills in the bottle and the number he counted, Liam breathed a sigh of relief without realizing it. His eyes began to well up with tears. Liam got up and sat on the bed, quietly staring at Cynthia. Thank you. Cynthia
With that, he leaned down and kissed Cynthia on the forehead
The next day, Cynthia woke up and found herself sleeping in Liam’s arms.
It was already nine o’clock in the morning, which was unusual for Liam. He was usually very disciplined and had been quite busy lately, yet still in bed at this hour.
Cynthia reached out and play!
playfully poked his cheek, causing him to open his eyes. His gaze was clear, indicating he had woken up early.
the was
Cynthia realized she had been tricked and playfully pulled the man’s cheeks in opposite directions. “You are awake. Why do you pretend to be asleep!”
Liam smiled and pecked at Cynthia’s full lips. His voice was slightly hoarse. “I want to cuddle with you for a while.”
After saying that, he habitually buried his face in Cynthia’s neck. His fluffy head made Cynthia’s face itch.
Chapter 240
Cynthia held back her itch while reaching out to stroke Liam’s head as if petting a puppy. “Have you finished your work in the company?”
Liam shook his head and said. “There’s no rush. You’re the most important person to me right no
Tm okay. Don’t worry about me Cynthia said, her voice trembling with the itch she couldn’t bear.
Suddenly, she thought of her decision from the previous night and decided to tell him. I took folic acid last night.”
“I know,” Liam said.
“You know?” Cynthia was surprised.
“Yeah.” Liam replied softly, his heart warming at the thought of Cynthia’s decision.
Cynthia said, “But how did you know that?”
“You must have taken folic acid since you didn’t take birth control pills, Liam replied quietly, opting not to mention his actions of counting the tablets the previous night.
Then, he raised his head, looked at Cynthia’s face earnestly, and reached out to take her hand, placing it over his heart “Cynthia. I promise you that I will never let you down in my life. Even if we have a child, you will always be the first priority in my life.
Facing his sudden confession, Cynthia smiled sweetly as she felt the strong heartbeat under her palm. She was suddenly glad she had made the decision the previous night
They cuddled together on the bed and chatred. There was no desire, just heartfelt communication between them. Liam reluctantly got up only when the company called
After seeing him off, Cynthia didn’t rush to Larson Group.
After spending the whole day familiarizing himself with the company, Hallet had gained a thorough understanding of Larson Group. With his capability, Cynthia was confident that he could manage it independently
Cynthia only
ly made a phone call to briefly understand the situation.
Cynthia had breakfast at the Sullivan residence and didn’t leave immediately. She played chess with David in the yard.
When it was almost noon, Cynthia pestered Jasmine, ‘Grandma Jasmine, the soup you made last time was really delicious. Can you teach me how to make it today!”
Jasmine was reading with her reading glasses at this time. When she heard Cynthia’s words, she hurriedly put down the book, took off her glasses, and stood up. I’ll make it for you. You don’t have to learn by yourself
After saying that, she was about to walk into the kitchen.
Cynthia hurriedly stepped forward and explained, “Grandma Jasmine, I want to learn how to cook it.”
Jasmine paused and spoke seriously. “Why are you learning this? Hands are important to girls. Cooking might roughen your hands. You’d better not do it. We have servants here at the Sullivan residence, and both Liam and I can cook for you.”
