As days passed by, Leo could tell that important people were gathering to Hopkins slowly, but at a steady rate every day, and he had felt it the first day he had come to Hopkins.
At this moment, the situation in Hopkins was even more complicated than that of Valenham, a place with an odd mix of people.
Leo even thought that if he threw a brick out of the window from his office, it would hit a few government officials or billionaires coming from other cities.
"Four royal families from Valenham have come to Hopkins. They are the Henderson family, the Newman family, the Brooks family and the Spencer family. The other five hasn’t come."
Lydia stared solemnly at Leo with a paper in his hand.
She had arrived at Hopkins yesterday and brought Emilia with her.
Leo, nevertheless, didn’t care how many royal families from Valenham had come. He just hugged her gently.
"Ah!" Lydia exclaimed, blushing. "What are you doing?"
Leo smiled. "It’s not as if you come to Hopkins that often. Could you stop talking about business for a while?"
"Then what do you want to talk about…" Her cheeks burning, Lydia didn’t dare to meet Leo’s gaze.
She was a shy woman to begin with. Even if the two of them had a girl, Lydia wasn’t used to Leo’s intense gaze.
"What do you think it is? Shall we get Emilia a younger brother?"
Leo nibbled Lydia’s ear.
Lydia shivered and replied immediately, "I won’t leave this time. The head office is in steady business, and I’ll take over the Hopkins branch! Besides, Emilia is on vacation now, and she’ll be here for some time. Let’s continue tonight, all right? Not now…" Lydia pleaded.
"Daddy, mommy, I want to go to the amusement park…"
Suddenly, the door was opened and Emilia rushed out of the room excitedly.
However, she froze at the sight of her parents clinging together before covering her eyes.
"Well, please continue. I can go to the amusement park tomorrow…"
Now that Emilia saw them, Lydia shot an angry glance at Leo, blushing furiously.
Leo could only stand up with disappointment.
Lydia tidied up her appearance and hesitated for a long time before she took out a report and handed it to Leo.
"What’s this?" Leo asked.
Lydia replied, her cheeks still burning, "Just open it and take a look."
Leo opened the file and glanced at it. The next moment, the file fell to the floor.
Leo’s breath became shallow as he stared at Lydia incredulously.
"Lydia, you’re… pregnant again?" Leo asked in a trembling voice, his body shaking.
Lydia nodded slightly and grunted.
"When I went back last time, I felt sick and felt like throwing up, so I went to the hospital to check on myself. The doctor told me I was pregnant."
Leo recalled and calculated the time, and it was correct.
"Great!"
At this moment, even Leo couldn’t help but show his happiness. He helped Lydia sit down at once.
"Take a seat. Don’t care about business anymore. Focus on the baby."
Lydia found the nervous and excited Leo funny to watch.
"It’s not like I’m ten-month pregnant. I can walk. I just got pregnant."
"But you still have to take care of yourself," Leo said seriously. "Pregnancy takes long. I won’t leave you for the next year."
"OK."
Lydia felt warm inside.
She still remembered what it had been when she was pregnant with Emilia five years ago, and she had mixed feelings about it.
At that time, she was so helpless, and wanted to have an abortion more than once.
