“There’s some progress at 408. Please come back soon so that we can start the mission.”
“Alright, please wait until I return. I need to stay over for one more day, and I’ll be back after that.” Richard sat up straight.
After the call ended, a hunting intent flashed across his eyes. The conversation was about an international organized crime group, and they were not an ordinary gang since they were involved with highly classified weapons.
They specialized in stealing, and they had stolen the research results and blueprints of a high-end weapon this time. They were looking for buyers everywhere, and Richard’s team had been tracking them for almost half a year.
Meanwhile, Anastasia was having a video call with her son in the room. Jared had his face stuck so close to the screen that his chubby cheeks filled the screen. He looked so adorable that she wanted to give him a kiss.
“Anastasia, I’ll take care of Jared for you while Elliot and you work on having baby number two.” Nigel’s voice could be heard in the background.
It flustered Anastasia as it felt awkward to talk about having another baby in front of Jared.
“Nigel, you should be the one working hard. Do you need me to introduce some girls to you?” Anastasia fought back.
“Sure, but I’ll only consider those who are prettier than you.”
“Most of them are prettier than me.” Anastasia laughed.
Just then, their conversation was interrupted by Elliot. “What are both of you talking about?”
She immediately tensed up, for this husband of hers got jealous easily and could not stand hearing such words.
“Nothing. We are just chatting.” Nigel laughed as he tried to change the topic.
“Do you guys think I didn’t hear what the both of you were talking about?” Elliot murmured.
“Daddy, Mr. Nigel is asking both of you to give me a sister and Mommy was asking him to quickly find himself a girlfriend,” answered Jared.
