Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Beg Me, and I’ll Give It to You

He’d been thinking it over and was afraid something might happen to Evelyn Grant at the law firm, which was why he had specifically warned him.

Despite taking every possible precaution, he never expected the problem would end up being with the other employees at the firm!

"Deal with it quickly."

Ryan Sterling hung up after saying those few words.

He still had faith in Mr. Shaw’s abilities.

Besides, if he took his anger out on Mr. Shaw now by firing him or having him transferred, it would definitely make Evelyn Grant suspicious.

Ryan Sterling didn’t want that.

He wanted to protect Evelyn Grant subtly, without any fanfare that would let everyone know and put pressure on her.

Other than the first time, when he’d shamefully taken advantage of her desperation to become her man, he never wanted to make Evelyn Grant do anything against her will.

...

When Evelyn Grant received a message from Mr. Shaw, her first instinct was not to open it.

Because of what had happened during the day, she was a little wary of having any more private contact with Mr. Shaw.

But she was also afraid of missing something work-related, so after a moment of hesitation, Evelyn Grant opened it anyway.

"Ms. Grant, I found out about the gossip among our colleagues at the firm! Please don’t be upset. I’ve already fired all the lawyers involved in spreading these rumors. Our firm has a zero-tolerance policy for this kind of behavior!"

Fired?!

Evelyn Grant was shocked when she saw that word!

Fired just for gossiping about her relationship with Mr. Shaw?!

Evelyn Grant thought for a moment before replying, "Mr. Shaw, I’m not upset. I just didn’t know how to explain the situation. You don’t have to fire them over this. It’s really not that serious."

"It is! Our firm must maintain a harmonious environment; this kind of behavior is absolutely not allowed! If you hear any more gossip in the future, you must tell me. Don’t just keep it to yourself and be unhappy!"

"..."

Evelyn Grant reread the messages. Something felt off.

’It was as if Mr. Shaw had fired those lawyers just to make her happy!’

’This...’

’This could easily give someone the wrong idea.’

But Evelyn Grant didn’t know what to say.

Just as she was pondering this, there were two soft knocks on the bedroom door.

She shuffled over in her slippers and quickly opened the door.

Outside stood Ryan Sterling, dressed in a dark-colored robe. His handsome face was all smiles, and he was holding his phone.

"Look, this is from our check-up today! The hospital sent it to me. It has the baby’s heartbeat and a video of what our little one looks like right now!"

Just by the look on Ryan Sterling’s face, you could tell he had definitely watched the video several times.

Over and over again.

Evelyn Grant was excited too.

"Hurry and send it to me!"

Only after she spoke did she realize that Ryan Sterling hadn’t moved at all.

Her brows knitted together. Evelyn Grant thought perhaps he hadn’t heard her clearly.

"Could you forward that video to me, please?"

Ryan Sterling’s lips curved into a smile. "I can. If you ask me nicely, I’ll send it to you."

"..."

He used the opportunity to take two steps forward, entering Evelyn Grant’s room as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"That’s not so hard, is it?"

"It is!" Evelyn Grant shot him a glare. "Ryan Sterling, send it or don’t."

’For a moment, it was as if the Ryan Sterling from their school days had suddenly returned.’

’The man who always had a smile playing on his lips.’

’The man who always called her dumb whenever they talked.’

’And now, that man was her husband!’

"Okay, okay, I’ll send it to you! Don’t be mad, you’re pregnant, remember!"
