“What would we do without a man around here?”

Dawn rolled her eyes.

She was between tears. She walked over and handed the spoon to the little guy. “Eat your meal. Next time, if you want to say something like that, you might as well say it in front of your dad directly.”

The milk was warm–just right.

Ethan added some chocolate sprinkles to make it more delicious.

Benjamin drank some, and immediately, his eyes lit up. “Dawn, I told you! Ethan can be your husband! If you don’t want him, I’ll make him my husband instead!”

Children speak without restraint. Dawn couldn’t be bothered to respond.

After finishing breakfast, she received a call from the company–she had to inspect the engineering department today.

A high–end mountain hot–spring resort was under development in Southville. The early stage of construction was crucial, requiring occasional site inspections.

But Benjamin… was a problem.

Dawn hesitated, then decided to bring him along.

Strapping him into the safety seat, she spoke in a serious tone, “Listen, I’m going to work soon. You have to behave, okay? No running around, no saying random things.”

Benjamin raised his hand to promise.

“Good! I promise to complete the mission!”

Though this kid was rather mischievous, he understood words fairly well.

Just in case, Dawn had Hazel buy lots of toys. If Benjamin truly couldn’t sit still, she could distract him with them.

At the entrance to the engineering department, the project manager came out to greet them.

Dawn took Benjamin out of the car and glanced at the safety helmet in his hand. “Can a child wear this?”

The project manager’s eyes went wide

at the sudden appearance of a child.

Hearing the question, he stammered, “Well … no child has worn one yet… maybe we can try?”

Dawn frowned and gave him a sharp glance, then handed Benjamin to Hazel.

Seizing the opportunity, Benjamin tried to wriggle free.

He was extremely curious about this place. There was even a digger over there→amazing!

“Benjamin, what did you promise me?”

Dawn lightly tugged his car.

“You have to wear your safety helmet properly, okay?”

But the kid, having opened the door to a whole new world, wouldn’t listen. He wriggled and squirmed in Hazel’s arms, chirping nonstop.

Dawn had no choice but to let Hazel take him to explore while she went with the project manager to discuss work.

She walked while listening and offered opinions at appropriate moments.

“No major issues otherwise, but…”

The project manager glanced at her expression and spoke cautiously, “At the current pace, the completion date may need to be slightly pushed back. Ms. Roxanne seems to have submitted a proposal to the chairman to speed up the project, and the chairman approved it.”

Dawn stopped walking. “So?”

“So… Ms. Roxanne will probably rejoin the project.”

At that moment, a woman’s haughty voice rang out nearby. “Looks like my little sister isn’t too happy to see me?”

Dawn looked at the suddenly appearing woman. Gone was her previous lethargy; her makeup was exquisite, her appearance glamorous once again.

“Do you think I should welcome you?”

Roxanne’s smile in her eyes turned cold as she approached Dawn.

“Whether you welcome me or not doesn’t matter. Dad has already issued the document. I am still in charge of this project. While you’re away, I’m fully in charge.”

Dawn raised an eyebrow, emphasizing the key point.

“While I’m away.”

“You!”

Roxanne’s expression darkened, but considering Dawn’s current status, she swallowed her anger and said in a low voice, “In short, I now hold the same position as you. You have no right to kick me out!”

“I never planned to kick you out. You just weren’t capable of handling it.”

Dawn handed the documents to the project manager, her tone indifferent. “I don’t mind Dad keeping you

on the project, but you should be sensible, right? If I don’t like it, don’t keep pushing yourself in front of

me.”

She indeed needed to reserve her energy for other matters, and with Roxanne present, it was fine.

After all, above them was still Vincent keeping

ngs in check.

She couldn’t make much of a splash.

“Do you think I enjoy seeing you?”

Roxanne smiled coldly and turned to leave.

For the project manager, this scene was somewhat awkward. He sheepishly touched his nose. “Sorry, Ms. Dawn. I should have informed you beforehand.”

Dawn shook her head. “It’s fine. Whether you tell me or not, it makes little difference.”

Roxanne only wanted to flaunt that she had regained Vincent’s trust.

But so what?

Her scheming mind would backfire sooner or later.

Meanwhile, Roxanne didn’t leave immediately but went to the project office with Jody.

Too much progress had been delayed recently.

Having finally regained the opportunity, she needed to do her homework properly.

“Ms. West, look over there.”

Jody tugged at her, whispering, “Isn’t that Ms. Dawn’s assistant?”

Following his gaze, Roxanne saw that it was indeed so.

The two–one adult, one kid–were playing happily in the engineering department corridor.
