The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 708

Chapter 708

“It’s okay.” Natalie stepped forward and held Laney’s hand comfortingly. “I’m free today anyway.”

It’s Garrett’s fault for not accompanying his wife. Now, my wife has to,” Brandon shot up. Natalie shot daggers at him, signaling him to shut up.

Being stared at by Natalie and seeing the heavily pregnant Laney, Brandon had no choice but to restrain himself.

“Sorry to have bothered you,” Laney repeated with a bitter smile.

Of course, she wanted to be with her husband. But given the situation, she had to endure everything by herself.

“Don’t mention it. Besides, I want to spend more time with you. If I ever get pregnant in the future, I won’t be all clueless,” Natalie assured her friend. Laney was on her last term, and the last thing she needed was a psychological burden.

It was only then did Laney feel better. Meanwhile, seeing that his work here as the driver had done, Brandon turned around and left.

As Natalie was about to hold Laney, she caught sight of Laney’s assistant, Lola, who was staring blankly at Brandon’s receding figure. She was dissatisfied with Lola. It did not stem from jealously but rather because Lola had not been attending to Laney since they had arrived. She had remained motionless by her side from the moment they got out of the car until now.

Laney was about to give birth, but her assistant was negligent. What if something happened to Laney?

“Lola, go and get Laney’s things,” Natalie reminded her.

It was not until that moment that Lola snapped out of it and realized what was happening. Upon meeting Natalie’s gaze, she quickly proceeded to pick up the bags.

“What’s wrong with Lola?” Natalie asked Laney. “Her attitude doesn’t seem to be as good as it was before.”

Laney’s smile became more and more bitter. “I had picked a hospital for the delivery, but Garrett’s father forced me to go to a different one instead. He said Garrett was born in that hospital. And the Hardings trusts the doctors there.”

A frown formed on Natalie’s face. She felt sorry for Laney.

Leo had always been tyrannical. He told Laney to move to another hospital just because of that, without even considering how inconvenient it was for Laney to move around when she was about to give birth. He had gone too far.

“Garrett went against it. He insisted on our initial choice and asked to stay by my side during the delivery. He knew how overwhelming his parents could be so he made sure Vera and Leo wouldn’t distress me.”

Talking about Garrett turned Laney’s bitter smile sweet again. Obviously, Garrett’s parents would never agree. As if reading Natalie’s mind, Laney sighed. “Then, Garrett and his father had a huge argument. His father asked Lola to persuade me to change the hospital.”

Anger burned behind Natalie’s eyes. “Garrett s father has gone too far. I doubt he cares about you at all. Does he even take you as his daughter-in-law?”

A disappointed exp**ssion settled on Laney’s face. She pursed her l*ps. “Well, they had been against my marriage with Garrett from the start. Perhaps they still haven’t accepted me now.”

She was just a mere bodyguard, after all. And an orphan before that Garrett on the other hand was born into a rich family. Their status couldn’t be more different. The Harding family holding a grudge against her was only predictable.

However, in Natalie’s eyes, Laney was a kind- hearted girl with a beautiful face and good fighting skills. Truth be told, Natalie didn’t think Garrett deserved her friend. The Harding family was wrong for underestimating Laney.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Lola quickly clasped the door. “Mrs. Harding, Mr. Leo Harding wouldn’t like this. He will be mad at you!”

“Let go!” Natalie’s eyes suddenly turned cold. Her fierce aura sent a chill down Lola’s spine. Lola was so startled by Natalie’s imposing manner that she didn’t notice her grip on the door loosened.

It was not until the car drove away that Lola came to her senses. She stamped her feet with hatred.

Natalie’s protectiveness of Laney was not something she expected. And the mere thought of offending Natalie scared her. All she could do was watch until the two disappeared.

“Is it okay for us to do that?” Glancing back at Lola far behind them, Laney felt uneasy.

Natalie held Laney’s hand and comforted her. “You’re Garrett’s wife and the future matriarch of the Harding family. People cannot order you around.”

“But she works for Garrett’s father.” Although Laney knew Natalie was right, she was worried. “What if Garrett quarrels with his family again?” Natalie sighed. Laney cared too much about Garrett. She was no longer the carefree person she used to be.

“Don’t worry. We aren’t actually disobeying Garrett’s father. Besides, I’ll be with you. Lola won’t dare to say anything.” With a gentle smile, Natalie sq***zed Laney’s hand to reassure her.

Laney finally felt relieved. Natalie was right. She worried too much.

While the two talked, their car arrived at the hospital.
