The gynecologist delivered the best news ever–Deborah was expecting a beautiful little girl. 

This was a huge delight for the whole family. Samantha and Eric had longed for a lovely daughter, and now life was blessing them with a beautiful granddaughter to spoil and care for. 

With the news of the new princess in the family, George grew a bit concerned about James. Strictly speaking, this little girl would be Jayden’s biological child, and George worried that James might be sidelined because of his new sister. 

“What’s on your mind, Dad?” Elliot asked, noticing his father’s distracted look. 

“Oh, hehe, sorry, I was lost in thought,” George said, glancing at the clutter on his desk. 

“Don’t worry. If you’re tired, you can rest on the sofa.” 

“It’s not that, son. Let’s just say I’m worried.” 

“Worried about what? Did something happen?” Elliot asked, approaching to look at the papers in his father’s hands. 

“Don’t worry, it’s not about the company. 

Then what is it?” 

“It’s about James,” 

“Did something happen to my nephew?” 

“No, nothing bad, but I’m a bit concerned about the new addition to the family.” 

“Hmm? The baby?” 

“Yes… I know Jayden has loved my grandson dearly, but now his biological daughter is coming, and I’m not sure if he’ll start focusing more on her and less on James.” 

“Hmm… Dad, I don’t think that’ll be the case.” 

“Why do you say that?” 

“I can see that Jayden genuinely loves James and sees him as his own son. Even though they’re not biologically related… he’s been with Deborah from the beginning of the pregnancy until now. I’d say he’s really James’s father.” 

“Hmm… you’re right about that, but I still feel a bit anxious.” 

“Well, Dad, if you’re worried, we could set up a backup fund just in case something goes wrong, but I doubt it.” 

“In fact, I was thinking of putting some money into an account and giving James 5% of the company’s shares. I don’t want to leave my grandson unsupported, so I at least want to give him a special gift.” 

“That sounds fair, especially since he shouldn’t be left with nothing because of Roger.” 

“Hmm… I’ll talk to Deborah about this later, but it will be something my grandson will inherit when he’s of

age.” 

“You could also discuss your concerns directly with her. Hehe, though I don’t think they’ll ignore James because of the new baby.” 

“You’re right. You can call her and see if she wants to have lunch with this old man.” 

“Sure,” Elliot said, already typing a message. 

Elliot: Hi, sis :D Do you have any plans for today? 

Deborah: No, actually, I’m at home with James. 

Elliot: Do you want to join us for lunch? 

Deborah: Sure :D Do you want us to meet at the office or at the restaurant? 

“Dad,” Elliot said. 

“Yes?” 

“Deborah asks if she should come here or if we should meet at the restaurant.” 

“Did she say yes?” 

“Yes.” 

“Hmm… then ask her to come to the office.” 

“Okay,” Elliot said, happily typing back to his sister. “Yay, she says she’ll arrive in about 30 minutes.” 

“Thanks, son.” 

“Well, Dad, you always told me that talking things out is the best way to understand people.” 

“Hmm… thank you, Elliot.” 

“Let me tell Fabian to expect their arrival,” Elliot said, calling the redhead. 

About twenty minutes later, Deborah and James arrived, accompanied by Max and Danielle. 

“Welcome,” Fabian greeted as they entered the company. 

“Hello,” Deborah said, pushing James’s stroller, 

“Ah…” 

“Please, come in. We’ll use the private elevator to go to the offices,” Fabian said, guiding them through the building. 

“Thanks,” Deborah replied, following him with her bodyguards. “How have you been?” she asked as they entered the elevator and it started moving. 

“Pretty good, though I can’t complain about the workload.” 

“That’s good to hear.” 

“Yes, although it may sound strange, there’s more work with Elliot in charge.”

“That’s a testament to his work,” Deborah commented 

“Indeed. Would you like some juice or water?”

I’ll take a glass of water, handsome,” Danielle said, winking at him.
