Sylvia had no inkling of what Eric was really asking.She presumed he suspected her of peeking into the Combat Department's secrets, so she retorted, "Hey, listen, I'm practically part of the Combat Department, right? I even earned some credit on our trip to Catellon. Combat Department stuff is within my purview, even though I haven't actually looked, mind you!"Eric raised an eyebrow. "That's not what I meant. I was wondering how... you managed to... have so many... techniques after giving birth to Yvette?"Instantly, Sylvia blushed."O-Oh..." she stammered, taking Eric's hand. "Why ask so many questions? Just tell me if you like it or not!"Eric cleared his throat, gazing at Sylvia. "And what about you?"The body's reactions never lied. But Eric was simply curious how Sylvia had learned of those things.However, no matter how he probed, Sylvia remained tight-lipped. It seemed speaking of it would tarnish her image.But then again, Eric knew her inside out. What image mattered

Eric was prepared to use Andy as a shield, fearing that Lora would entangle herself further in trouble."Alright," Andy agreed.No matter how one sliced it, he was the stepfather of two children. When the teacher needed to confer with the parents, it was still preferable for him to attend.Eric heaved a sigh of relief, thinking he could avoid encountering Lora for now.-After work in the afternoon, Andy headed to the school to pick up the two children.Handing the children over to Andy, Lora scanned the area, inquiring, "Mr. Bikman, isn't Mr. Johnson coming today?"Not spotting Eric, Lora appeared somewhat disappointed.Andy easily grasped Lora's thoughts—she harbored feelings for Eric!He chuckled and remarked, "Ms. Kensington, perhaps Eric won't be able to make it in the future. He's rather occupied too."Lora nodded, her demeanor somewhat downcast.Andy paid little attention, proceeding to take Cody and Max home.-At home, Melinda tended to the children while Elly pre

Only during meal times could they be seen in the cafeteria.Despite being executives with big fortunes, their lunch was usually taken care of in the cafeteria.If the executives dared to eat there, then they certainly could too.Sylvia smiled. "Your brother-in-law? He's gone on a date.""A… date?!" Andy's mind didn't catch up for a moment.If Eric was going on a date, it must be with his wife!But his wife was right there, so who was Eric going on a date with? It didn't make sense!"Yes, he's gone on a date." Sylvia said, "It's very likely he's going to fall in love again."Andy was speechless.Eric was going on a date with another woman in broad daylight, and yet his wife knew about it.Wasn't she bothered by this?Seeing Andy and Mell looking at her, Sylvia asked, "What's the matter?""Sister-in-law! There's a big problem!" Andy slapped his thigh. "If Eric is going on a date, it should be with you, why is he going out with another woman? Sister-in-law, shouldn't you go an

Merely a few minutes passed before Eric's phone rang. Seeing it was Jacob calling, he chose not to answer. That lad still hadn't returned the 50 dollars he borrowed last time! Though 50 dollars might be a trifle for Eric, it was a matter of principle! He could easily gift Jacob 500 or even 5,000 dollars, but that 50 dollars had been borrowed. If you borrow, you must repay!Eric placed his phone aside, but it kept ringing, each time Jacob calling. Just as he was about to take a nap, Jacob arrived!"Hey, Eric!" Jacob's face beamed, addressing Eric just like Jacob did, calling him "Brother Eric."Eric knew this fellow was there to borrow money, so he casually asked, "What's up?"Jacob chuckled and said, "Eric, you know I recently bought a house and a car, so I'm a bit tight on cash. Could you... lend me some? I'll repay you as soon as the year-end bonus comes. It's almost here."The year-end bonus from the Innova Group was substantial. Jacob had inquired—even the janitors received

Lora had guessed that Sylvia was likely Eric's wife since she had seen them together at the school gate.Now, expecting Eric, Sylvia was the one who came. Most likely, this was the situation."Eric..." Lora struggled to speak. "Isn't Mr. Johnson in the company?"Sylvia smiled faintly. "He is, but he's busy leading the technical team to tackle some technical challenges. Ms. Kensington the café next door is nice. Shall we chat there?"She felt it necessary to clarify things with Lora. Since she came despite being blocked on the phone, the issue isn't simple!-In the café.As the coffee was served, Sylvia nodded politely to the waiter. Her demeanor was dignified. Lora had been staring at Sylvia for quite some time.Sylvia smiled slightly and said, "Ms. Kensington try their coffee."Lora took a sip, then looked up at Sylvia, "You... are Mr. Johnson's wife?""Correct." Sylvia set down her coffee cup. "We've been married for over four years, and we have a very obedient daughter.
