The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 789

Chapter 789

Teresa, noticing Laney’s concern, interrupted with a reassuring smile, “Don’t worry. I won’t expect you to work now. You can return to the workplace after your maternity leave.”

Touched by Teresa’s thoughtfulness, Laney nodded. “Thank you, Teresa.”

Teresa smiled warmly. “You’re welcome. As long as you’re willing to help me, we can work things out. It’s not easy to find a female bodyguard as skilled as you, so I can’t just let you go.”

Flattered, Laney replied, “I’ll do my best. I won’t let you down.”

Seeing Laney’s agreement, Teresa breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

Glancing at her watch, she realized it was time for work. After bidding Laney farewell, she stood up and left.

Recalling their dwindling supply of daily necessities, Laney decided to go shopping with lan and Anya.

At the supermarket, lan expertly selected baby supplies while Laney pushed the stroller. “These diapers are soft and fit well, perfect for the baby,” lan remarked, tossing a pack into their shopping basket.

Laney held up another bag of diapers, teasing, “What about these?”

lan examined the pack, shook his head, and replied, “Although the quality is good, they’re too thick. Anya overheats easily, so they’d likely cause a heat rash.”

Surprised, Laney raised an eyebrow. “How do you know so much about diapers?”

lan grinned, “As a competent assistant, choosing the most suitable products for you and Anya is a basic professional skill.”

Laney nodded, thoroughly impressed.

In truth, lan was not only considerate but also intimately familiar with her and

Anya’s habits. He took excellent care of them both.

Even Anya had grown fond of him and had become increasingly clingy to him.

With a playful smile, Laney inquired, “What did Natalie pay you? I need to know if I can afford you in the future.”

lan grinned and held up three fingers.

“Thirty grands?” Laney gasped, drawing the attention of nearby shoppers.

Covering her mouth, she eventually regained her composure and whispered to lan, “That’s quite a generous salary.”

Garrett felt like a fish out of water. He had never had any problems with women.

If anything, they were the ones who kept flocking to him. He didn’t have to lift a finger to get a woman to succumb to him.

But this was an entirely different thing. He had angered his wife, and nothing he did worked to earn her forgiveness. And now he was forced to watch as some bastard tried to flirt with Laney right in front of him. No man would be able to stay calm in this situation.

Apart from that, something in his gut told him it had been Ian who had sent the divorce agreement and the wedding ring to him. It told Garrett everything he needed to know. That man had impure motives towards Laney.

This realization made him feel all the more restless.

Meanwhile, Evan’s eyes were furrowed in deep thought, trying to come up with a plan.

The loud clap beside him made him jolt. Garrett had slapped his hands together and said, “Evan, go rent a house next to Laney’s. This is not going to be an easy and quick battle by any means, and I’m staying here for as long as it takes to win her back.” Evan’s face fell at his boss’ directive. “Boss, you still have the Harding Group to think of. The company wouldn’t function without you,” he reminded Garrett.

Garrett answered with a glare that radiated menace, “My wife is about to leave me, and you want me to think of the Harding Group? Getting Laney and my daughter back is my top pnority. To hell with anything else.”

As they two talked, Laney and lan were almost done with shopping.
