My Invincible Husband Has Returned novel Chapter 178

By the time Liam set the table for dinner, Jovie was already starving. She stared at Celena with a longing look and whined, "Mom, the soup that Dad made smells amazing. I want some…"

Celena gently stroked her hair and served her a bowl of piping hot soup. The three of them then sat down together for a hearty dinner.

Suddenly, Celena said, "I need to pop by the office tomorrow to make an inventory of all the destroyed equipment so we can acquire new ones. I also need to start the employment process to rehire new employees for the ones we've let go. It will be a busy day for me, so I think… you should bring Jovie out for the day, Liam!"

With that, Celena lowered her head and took a sip of her soup, blushing. She had intended to ask Liam to go with her on her errands, but she decided to let Liam stay with Jovie instead.

Liam stared at her with a smile. He could tell exactly what she wanted to say. He put a piece of steak onto her plate and replied, "It's okay. We can leave Jovie at home tomorrow. I'll go with you to work instead."

"What? What about Jovie, then?" Celena gaped at him. As much as she wanted Liam to come along with her, she was worried that those rascals would return. She wanted Liam around for protection, and she did not want to leave Jovie alone.

Liam considered this for a moment, then replied, "It's okay. I'll ask Calum to come by and look after Jovie for a while. They'll be fine!"

With that, he turned to Jovie and asked, "Jovie, do you want to stay home and play with Uncle Calum tomorrow? I'll ask him to come over!"

"Yes, please! Uncle Calum is so much fun!" Jovie squealed in delight.

The next day, Calum came over as planned. However, instead of staying home, he decided to take Jovie out to the playground. After all, they were still technically in the Stone family's territory, and thus, he did not want to get into any trouble.
