Chapter 3073
"Wait a sec," Steve started.
Nicole cut in, "You're not gonna say it's not needed, right?"
After a pause, Steve chuckled. "Seems like it might work."
"That's better," Nicole grinned. "You'll have to be there for Sally's delivery and pitch in with baby duties afterward. Once Sally's back on her feet, you can return to the company."
They could hire a nanny to help Sally with the baby, which should work out fine.
"Did you think of this plan?" Steve asked.
"Mom and Dad are on board too. Dad even offered to lend a hand with the company if things get hectic," Nicole explained.
"We'll cope by ourselves," Sean jumped in, not completely agreeing.
Nicole nodded, "I've already talked it over with Dad."
"Then Sally and I appreciate everyone’s help," Steve said, relieved that everything was sorted.
"We're all like family here, no need to be so formal," Nicole teased gently.
Sean chimed in, "It's only fair. When my wife has a baby, you guys will have to share some of the company's duties too."
"Jane's expecting too?" Nicole and Steve exclaimed simultaneously.
"Not yet, I was just making a comparison," Sean explained, a bit annoyed. It was inevitable; there was no need for such surprise.
"Well, it's good to have plans," Steve shrugged. "I thought you were treating your careers like your kids."
Sean rolled his eyes at Steve's remark, choosing to ignore it, and turned to Nicole. "Since that's settled, let's discuss the company stuff."
"Sure thing," Nicole agreed, laying out her ideas for Sean.
