The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 675

Chapter 675

Laney was about to get up when Natalie stopped her. “No. Brandon is a picky eater; he will waste them,” Natalie said coldly. “And they’re too delicious. He doesn’t deserve any of the desserts they make here.”

Stunned, Laney asked carefully, “Did he make you mad?” Natalie avoided eye contact and clenched her fists. She tried to disguise her anger, but Laney knew something was wrong. “Whatever it is. you can tell me.”

“I guess it’s okay to tell you,” Natalie said, pursing her lips. “Brandon and I quarreled. And I left home a few days ago.”

“You ran away from home?! What happened? Did he cheat on you?”

Laney knew that Natalie wasn’t the kind of person to throw a tantrum over nothing. Since she had run away from their home, Brandon surely must have done something that crossed the line.

Laney banged on the table and stood up, biting on her lower lip angrily. Her sharp eyes were teeming with anger. “Call him over right now! Does he think he can mistreat you just because I’m pregnant? 1 can still fight for my friend!”

“Easy, Laney. You’re pregnant now, so don’t get angry. You need to be more careful at least for the baby’s sake.” Natalie immediately helped her sit back in her chair. “If Brandon cheated on me, my mom would kill him before you even got the chance to. The reason we fought this lime was that he hid something very important from me.”

“What happened? You definitely need to spend the night with me and tell me exactly what is going on.” Laney craned her neck and called out to Lola. “Lola, pack up all the desserts and put them in the car. We’re taking them home.”

Lola did as instructed and quickly sent the desserts back to the villa.

“The servants recently went on leave, so the house is a bit messy. I hope you don’t mind.” Laney opened a shoe cabinet and took out a pair of slippers.

“1 don’t think it’s advisable for you to not have any servants helping you now. You should at least hire some part-time workers.” This was the first time that Natalie had been to Laney’s new place. Unlike the

Harding family’s house, it didn’t cover a large area and wasn’t luxuriously decorated. It felt like home, nonetheless.

“I’ll take you upstairs to the baby’s room.” Upon noticing that Natalie’s eyes were fixed on the paintings on the wall, Laney subconsciously wished that she wouldn’t look at them. “Vera signed me up for art lessons, so those are just some rough sketches I made. Garrett insisted on hanging them up on the wall. Don’t pay them any mind.”

“Wow, 1 didn’t expect him to be so thoughtful.” Natalie winked at her. She hadn’t seen Garrett since she came in, which was odd. Looking around, she asked, “Where is Garrett, by the way?”

“He has a business dinner tonight and won’t be back today. Rest assured that you can spend the night here.” Since they returned to the house in a rush, Laney didn’t have time to tell Garrett that Natalie was coming over.

The pair walked into the baby’s room, only to find that it was messier than the outside. Several large brown paper boxes were piled together, and pieces of bubble wrap were everywhere.

“Is this your storeroom?” Embarrassed, Natalie took a step back.

“You’ve got to be kidding me! Geez! Well yesterday, Garrett said he wanted to decorate the room, but instead he fell asleep in it. I didn’t know he made such a mess here. When he comes back, I’ll be sure to teach him a lesson!” Laney said with a wry smile. She wanted to squat and pick up the rubbish, but she couldn’t because of her bulging pregnant belly.

“Stay still. I’ll take care of it later.” Natalie helped her have a seat next to her. She looked around at the design of the entire room, and then smiled. “I can tell that Garrett put a lot of effort into touching up the room. Although this house isn’t as big as the Harding family’s, it’s the home for both of you.”
