Julie said with tears in her eyes, “Madam Smith has urged him so many times, hoping he would settle down and start a family. Now, it’s finally happening. Frank has really endured a lot!”
“Julie…”
Frank came out wearing a shirt, and said helplessly, “You can say what you want, but why are you crying? It sounds like you’re saying I’m a pathetic person no one wants.”
“I’m just happy for you!”
Julie shot him a reproachful look, quickly pouring him another glass of water. “The old lady and the others will definitely be very happy when they find out…”
Frank interrupted, “Please don’t tell them yet.”
“Aren’t you going to tell your family?”
Julie looked surprised and widened her eyes. “I think Charlotte is also a good girl from a respectable family. Don’t be like Charlie and his playboy ways!”
Frank put down his glass, “Where did you get that idea? It’s just not the right time yet. Do you know what the current situation is with the Smith family?”
Julie sighed in relief. “I see. I just thought, since you were raised by Sir Smith, you shouldn’t follow the Lennox family’s example.”
Julie gave him a few more reminders, then efficiently cleaned up the kitchen and prepared to leave.
Before she left, she pulled me aside to the entrance, a bit embarrassed, and said, “Don’t mind me being overly concerned. Even though I’m part of the Smith family, I know you don’t have any close elders around, so I couldn’t help but remind you. If you didn’t take precautions last night, remember to take some medicine.”
“The idea of safe periods isn’t reliable. Even though if you were to get pregnant, Sir Smith and the others would be happy. But there are a lot of people in the Smith family and it could easily lead to gossip.”
I was momentarily stunned, feeling a bit awkward yet touched. I nodded. “Okay, thank you for thinking of
that for me.”
The incident last night was sudden, and I hadn’t thought to take precautions.
After breakfast, with the chip issue still unresolved, Frank changed his clothes at home and then went straight to the Smith Group..
Before leaving, he didn’t forget to drop off a suitcase at my place, “Be a dear and take care of my suitcase
for me.”
“Okay.”
I could already anticipate how shameless he would be in seamlessly moving into my place.
But instead of feeling inconvenienced by the extra person at home, I felt quite full.
Later, I had planned to visit the branch office with Jane and pick up some contraceptive pills.

Unexpectedly, just as we arrived at the underground parking garage, I received a call from the nursing
home.
“Ms. Wilson, did you take Madam Shaw away?”
“No.” My heart skipped a beat. “Grandma is missing?”
“Yes, we’ve called the Shaw family, and they haven’t come to pick her up either.”
The nurse continued, “But when we checked this morning, Madam Shaw was still in her room. It was only when Prof. Kilburn and his team arrived just now that they found she was missing.”
“Have you searched everywhere in the nursing home?”
