As Mildred approached the office door, she turned to leave.
Tommy called out to her, "Madam Nicholls, aren't you going to visit the baby?"
Mildred shook her head. "Forget it. He's got enough on his plate with both taking care of the child and managing the entire company. He won't have the energy to deal with an old woman like me. I'll avoid disturbing him during work hours."
Tommy did not press further. "I'll escort you to the parking. If you're worried about interrupting Mr. Nicholls' work, you can always come back in the evening."
"Alright," Mildred agreed, thinking that evening might indeed be a better time.
…
Two days later, Sheena and her family returned to Froania.
Sheena had almost finished handling the paperwork for Lawson International.
Asher's academic performance was so exceptional that he could immediately be enrolled in the best elementary school upon their return to Froania.
On the other hand, Adora's military academy plans were put on hold.
Elliot considered sending her to a small training camp with the army, with the possibility of her being directly admitted to a military academy in the future.
Back in Froania, Sheena's first task was negotiating another deal with the Nicholls Group.
Sheena did not task this to any of her departments. She took it upon herself and frequently visited Nathaniel's office.
Since Callum was being cared for in Nathaniel's office, Sheena would always hold the chubby, well-cared-for baby every time she visited.
She would also take a few photos and record a video.
While Sheena played with Callum, Nathaniel was either reviewing the terms of the deal or approving project proposals.
Sheena had planned everything so well that he did not have time to question whether her behavior was strange.
Besides, Nathaniel had no reason to be wary of Sheena.
When the final draft of a project proposal was completed, Nathaniel carefully reviewed it three times before using a red pen to mark a few points he disagreed with.
"Nana, these points aren't suitable for our current project collaboration. There are too many uncertainties, and the losses will likely increase rather than decrease. It's better to have the department review the proposal several times and select the most balanced plan."
Sheena glanced briefly at the proposal.
Sheena smiled with satisfaction and typed a response.
[I can see he's really putting in effort and genuinely loves the baby.]
After sending the message, there was a two-second pause before a reply came.
[How long will the fatherly love last? I wonder if it's too late.]
Sheena was just an outsider in the matter and could not predict the future. Hence, she tried her best to comfort the woman on the other end, who missed the baby immensely.
A few minutes later, Sheena received another text from the same unfamiliar number, but the topic had shifted.
[Sheena, I've found my mom. Thank you for helping her out of her unhappy marriage. To be safe, I plan to relocate her to a new place.]
The relocation was to avoid being discovered by a certain someone.
As Sheena walked through the Nicholls Group parking lot, ready to reply to the message, a familiar voice called out from behind her.
"Nana, who are you chatting with?"
