The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 662

Catherine moved to end the call.

"Wait, hold on!" Alexa frantically interrupted. "Susan isn't here right now. Lance is watching him. Why don't you video call him instead?"

"Never mind. Let me know when they wake up."

When Catherine had woken up that morning, Lance had already taken Lanny back to his own room.

She hadn't even noticed when the baby woke up in the middle of the night before Lance scooped him away.

He must not have gotten any decent sleep last night.

She didn't know exactly when it had happened, but Lance taking care of Lanny had somehow become the standard routine.

Catherine felt it was inappropriate, but she couldn't find the right moment or the right words to address the boundary.

"Alright, I'll wait until—"

Before Alexa could finish, a chaotic noise erupted in the background.

"I'm late today! Let me hold him, let me hold him—"

The excited shouting was abrupt, then instantly muffled.

"Do you have company?" Catherine asked, listening closely. The other end of the line was suddenly so dead silent that it felt like the connection had frozen.

Alexa gasped softly and quickly lied, "Oh, the TV is on! Lanny is sleeping upstairs, and since I had some free time, I was just watching a show while eating and cleaning. You don't mind, do you?"

"Didn't the TV break?"

Last night, Jasper and Harrell had been throwing a baseball around and accidentally smashed the screen.

She and Lorinda had spent forever messing with it, but it wouldn't even turn on. In the end, Lance and Harrell had inspected it and mutually declared it completely dead.

"They... they fixed it," Alexa stuttered.

"They fixed it that fast? I..."

Before Catherine could press the issue, another call beeped through on her phone.

It was Gavin.

"You look busy, Catherine. Go ahead, we can talk later."

The mother and daughter simply couldn't stand the sight of each other.

Belinda had pressured her to go back to work yesterday, and she was doing it again today.

Sophia knew returning to the corporate grind was inevitable.

She just wanted to seize every possible moment to cuddle her nephew before her freedom ended!

The abruptly disconnected call left Catherine feeling slightly suspicious.

But as soon as she answered Gavin's call, the odd interaction completely slipped her mind.

"Catherine, get to my place right now. It's an absolute disaster!"

Catherine checked her watch. It was exactly noon. She grabbed her blazer and headed for the door. "What happened?"

"You'll see when you get here. Oh, and go to my office first—grab the files in the right-hand drawer and the corporate seal!"
