Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth novel Chapter 146

August raised an eyebrow. "Nope. But even if I don't tell her, she should remember it. If she can't, then she doesn't have to come."

"What nonsense!"

Suzanne glared at him and said, "Remember to let her know. I want her to be with me during my birthday celebration!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will."

August promised, and Suzanne was able to have peace of mind.

...

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

There was only one more day left before the birthday feast, and Gwenda had already gotten someone to prepare a gift and ensured that her schedule was clear for that day.

Worried that she might forget, August kept reminding her through repeated calls.

"You've got to be there tomorrow, or grandmother will absolutely kill you."

"I know,"

"I know," Gwenda said as she dealt with the things she had on hand. "I say, August, you've been reminding me at least four to five times these days. What, do you think I have dementia? That I can't remember something like this?"

"Grandmother asked me to do this. She wants to make sure that you'll be there. Do you think I wanted to remind you all the time?"

August snorted in a tsundere manner.

Gwenda burst out laughing. "I will be, don't worry. I've already prepared a gift for her, and I will be on time tomorrow."

"Good, if there's nothing else, I'll be gone."

With this, August was about to hang up the phone when Gwenda called for him to wait.

...

"What? Was there something you needed?"

"Er... the project you talked about with Mr. Petit, is it going well?"

August chuckled. "Are you concerned about the project or about Olivier?"

Gwenda paused for a moment before stammering, "Of course I'm concerned about the project. It's not like I asked about Olivier."

"Oh~ so you're concerned about the project."

August raised an eyebrow. "It's going quite well, and their company is quite satisfied with us. So, we've signed the contract."

"Oh, that's good then..."

Gwenda paused again.

Hearing the way she faltered, August rolled his eyes impatiently and said, "Just ask if you want to! Don't put on a show of being hesitant to me."

"I wasn't going to ask you anything. Bye."

"Wait!"

This time, August was the one who stopped her. "Olivier's gone on a business trip. I heard that there was a problem with an overseas project, so Olivier's gone off to deal with it. Don't worry about him."

Hearing this, Gwenda felt relieved.

After the dinner, she noticed that Olivier seemed to have vanished as he did not call her nor text her as much as he usually does.
