Chapter 82: Chapter 82: She Will Get Suspicious After Seeing It

"Evelyn Grant, protect him for me, alright?"

This was his final request.

Ryan Sterling didn’t dare hope for anything from Evelyn Grant; all he could do was wait.

But this child was his bottom line.

Evelyn Grant didn’t know what to say. Pressing her lips together, she said, "I will. I’m looking forward to his birth, too."

But it wasn’t because of Ryan Sterling.

Evelyn Grant didn’t want to deceive him, nor did she want to drag him into a conflict involving his parents and brother.

’He’s too good to me, so good that... even when I’m still not sure about my feelings for him, I find myself unable to refuse him.’

Since Ryan Sterling had told her not to overthink it and just see where things went, she decided to listen to him, take it one step at a time, and figure it out later.

...

Ryan Sterling personally drove Evelyn Grant to the law firm.

Before they even reached the entrance, Evelyn Grant had him pull over.

"Just drop me here! I can get out and walk the rest of the way myself."

She didn’t want her colleagues at the firm to see her with Ryan Sterling.

It wasn’t a matter of having a guilty conscience or not, but rather...

Evelyn Grant didn’t want her personal life to become the hot topic of office gossip.

She just wanted to do her job well and keep a low profile.

Ryan Sterling saw her intention at a glance.

His thin lips pressed together for a moment before he gave a soft chuckle and nodded. "Alright. In that case, I’ll wait for you here at noon. Just come over when you’re done."

Evelyn Grant nodded and then started walking toward the law firm.

Not long after she left, Ryan Sterling lowered his head and sent a message from his phone.

About two minutes later, a figure from the law firm hurried over to Ryan Sterling’s car.

"Mr. Sterling, you’re here! Why not come into the firm for a visit?"

It was the head of the law firm, Mr. Shaw.

He wore a respectful expression and didn’t even dare to speak too loudly.

Ryan Sterling’s gaze remained fixed in the direction Evelyn Grant had gone, and he only looked away after a long moment.

"I won’t. She’d get suspicious if she saw me."

Mr. Shaw was a smart man; he understood instantly.

’After all, he knew the very reason this law firm existed was for Evelyn Grant, right?’

’Without her, Mr. Sterling wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of opening a law firm in the country while he himself was abroad!’

"She’s pregnant now, so keep a close eye on things. Don’t let any questionable clients get near her, and make sure no accidents happen."

Mr. Shaw nodded quickly. "Rest assured! I absolutely will not allow something like that to happen! Every case assigned to Ms. Grant has undergone a background check to ensure there’s no danger! If anyone comes to the firm asking to see Ms. Grant, I always vet them repeatedly before letting them in."

Ryan Sterling was quite satisfied with the way Mr. Shaw handled things.

’He had chosen him to open the firm in the first place because he was quick-witted, flexible, and knew how to get things done.’

"That’s how it had better be! But don’t overdo it, or she might find out."

Ryan Sterling was only doing this because he wanted to keep Evelyn Grant within his sphere of protection as much as possible.

It wasn’t that he wanted to monitor her or anything like that!

If Evelyn Grant found out, it would inevitably make her overthink things.

"Understood!"

Ryan Sterling waved his hand. "That’s all. Go on and get back to your work. If anything happens to her, or if she feels unwell, you are to notify me immediately!"

For Evelyn Grant, he had even put his work abroad on hold.

He absolutely could not let anything happen to her or the baby.
