Chapter 130 Here Comes Your Fiance

Branden just got home and intended to have a video call meeting and deal with the business in Bothor. Due to the time difference of 12 hours, it happened to be in the morning in that place.

As soon as the video call meeting started, the phone placed aside began to buzz. He picked it up and took a look only to find that it was Triston’s message in the group chat. The group chat was created by Triston. The members were their good friends.

Branden usually blocked the messages of the group chat. He wouldn’t receive notifications unless he was mentioned. Today, Triston deliberately mentioned all the members in the group chat and also sent a photo out.

Branden glanced at the group chat and suddenly settled his gaze on an unnoticeable place. Instantly, it just seized his attention.

The senior managers in Bothor were all waiting for Branden to speak when they suddenly saw that he was staring at his phone.

No one knew what was on the screen that could attract Branden’s attention. The photo was followed by an address. The single guys in the group chat all went into an uproar.

[Mr. Lambert, good for you. You have many girls. You should’ve told me earlier. I’ll be right there!]

[The girl wearing a black T-shirt in the corner looks hot. I’ll come too. Wait for me!]

The girl wearing a black T-shirt in the corner?

That was Catherine!

The moment Branden saw that scene, he put on a cold look. He pressed the picture and saved it on his phone. Then, he put the phone away and said, “The meeting is over!”

The senior managers of the branch in Bothor looked at each other in confusion. None of them knew what had happened to make Branden stop the meeting all of a sudden.

Even Paxton was a bit astonished that Branden intended to leave suddenly.

“Mr. Duncan, I’ll arrange a car for you right now.”

Branden sent him an address and said coldly, “No need. You’ll drive.”

“Yes!”

Paxton thought that Branden had something urgent to do. Seeing Branden’s gloomy face, Paxton thought something serious was going to happen. So, the journey of more than half an hour’s ride was reduced by half. At the Lamberts’.

Everyone was having fun. The friends Triston invited there today were all sensible and able to read the room.

Even though Triston brought two young, pretty girls here after being away for a while, the other girls at the party didn’t say anything about it.

The people who could be brought there by Triston must come from a good family. Some rich young men did want to hit on Catherine upon seeing her. However, they were all stopped by Triston.

“Dude, be careful. She’s not the girl you can get.”

Jimmy felt quite perplexed about Triston’s words. He stared at Triston in confusion. “Mr. Lambert, is she your target? If yes, just tell me. We all get it!”

Triston was away for 10 minutes just now. Then, he just came back with two beautiful girls. And Triston was extremely nice to them, which made the others rather puzzled.

Jimmy thought Triston was chasing the girl!

Triston sneered and patted Jimmy’s shoulder.

“Bro, don’t joke about that! I still wanna live!”

Judging from Triston’s reaction, Jimmy and the others grew even more curious about Catherine’s identity, but they also didn’t dare to hit on her.

After all, Triston looked quite serious. They were chatting when the doorbell rang. Someone shouted, “It must be the food delivery I ordered. I’ll get the door.”

After opening the door, that man was struck dumb. As he made no sound for a while, a friend of his in the apartment said banteringly, “Mate, are you infatuated with the delivery guy? Why don’t you come in yet?”

That man turned his head to look at everyone in a panic. Seeing his expression, others raised their heads curiously.

Then, two people walked inside. The leading man looked extremely handsome, exuding an aristocratic air. Apparently, his identity must be extraordinary. Triston also noticed that. His eyes glistened when he saw it was Branden.

“Whoa, there you are, Branden!”

Others all felt excited upon hearing Triston’s words. None of them expected to meet Branden here. They all knew that Triston and Branden were close but never thought that Branden would come to Triston’s party.

Audrey was having a good time. Since she got here, she had already drunk two bottles of beer because she felt happy.

Audrey barely drank at times. This time she had had two bottles of beer For the moment, she became a bit hammered. Noticing that everyone was looking at the door, she also turned her head and glimpsed Branden standing at the door. She staggered forward and took a closer look. Then, she gave a smile.

“Whoa, isn’t this Branden?”

Branden lowered his head to look at Audrey in front of him. Seeing her red face, he recognized that she was probably drunk. He wondered if Catherine had drunk any wine, so he meant to go inside and take a look.

Unexpectedly, Audrey suddenly grabbed Branden’s arm and turned to yell inside, “Kathy, here comes your fiancé! Come and meet him now!”

Everyone was astounded to hear that, their mouths wide open. None of them expected that Branden would have a fiancée and that she would be here. Branden froze briefly and then showed a faint smile on his face.

His fiancee’s sister was a bit interesting. Originally, Catherine paid no attention to that. Hearing Audrey’s words, she immediately knitted her brows and rose to look at Audrey.

Only a glance immediately made Audrey sober up. She trembled for a moment and then gazed at Catherine with puppy-dog eyes, saying in a low voice, “Did I say anything wrong?”

Facing her aggrieved expression, Catherine couldn’t bother to blame her and then dragged her over. Branden also followed Catherine closely. All of this just indicated that what Audrey said was right.

Everyone came to their senses and still felt shocked, especially those who had designs on Catherine.

At this moment, Jimmy finally understood why Triston told him not to covet Catherine. Who would dare to covet Branden’s fiancee?

It would be no different from courting death. Catherine put Audrey on the sofa.” You’re drunk. Let’s go downstairs!”

Audrey’s eyes were fixed on Catherine, and then, she shook her head. “No, Kathy, we’re finally having a good time. Let’s stay for another while. After all, our home is downstairs. We can just go downstairs and sleep if we get drunk. Am I right?”

Triston also came forward and agreed, saying, “Audrey is right. Kathy, Mr. Duncan has just arrived. If you leave now, it’ll make him look bad. Just cut him some slack!”

Catherine looked up at Triston with a cold expression.

“Why would I cut him some slack?” Triston choked and didn’t know how to respond. The others were also astonished by Catherine’s arrogant words.

She might be the only one who dared to say that she wouldn’t cut Branden any slack in public! Everyone sized Branden up in secret and wanted to see how he would deal with this daring girl.

His Nanny Mate Chapter 250 By Eve Above Story

The time between Michael going to prison and Daisy’s birth were such a whirlwind of activity that the months practically flew by. Ethan and Kelly wound up being transferred to a mental health facility. I think that was better for them in the long run, as the things that they did were ultimately the result of Michael’s brainwashing. I didn’t hold any grudges against them; in fact, Edrick and I visited them on a monthly basis, and the medication and therapy that they went through seemed to be helping a bit. Of course, Kelly could never get over her obsession with Edrick. Nor could Ethan get over his obsession with me. It was very likely that they would spend years in that place, but at least we could have somewhat normal conversations with them when we went to visit. Michael, however, had no visitors and I didn’t feel the least bit bad about it. Verona eventually finalized her divorce with him, and she got most of his money as well as the house. She became the matriarch of the Morgan family, and over the next six months we went to countless wonderful parties hosted by Verona where there was no drama or fighting. It felt good to finally have a chance to enjoy attending those sorts of parties without judgment or hatred. My status as the Golden Wolf was quickly discovered by the public. There were, of course, some fringe groups who wanted me dead, but they had no way of killing the Golden Wolf now that the knife was gone. Thanks to what happened at the cliff, the future generations of the Golden Wolf would be allowed to live and continue to create peace in the world. I continued teaching at the school, and split my time with the orphanage and the Humanity’s Reach Initiative as well. I was on track to become the next headmistress at the school someday, but I still didn’t know if that was what I wanted. Countless humanitarian organizations were still begging me to work for them, and the prospect of trying something new was exciting to me. Since I continued teaching, I only volunteered for these organizations instead. On more than one occasion, Edrick accused me of doing too much and not getting enough rest. I just laughed at him because I knew that the baby and I could handle it. We had been through so much before, and the volunteering that I was doing was making the world a better place. Edrick continued being the WereCorp CEO, but he was much different after the events at the mountain estate. He became more fair toward his human employees, and even went so far as to purchase Sophia’s orphanage. He donated money to other local orphanages, and the two of us quickly became known as the biggest philanthropists in the city. On Christmas, we even threw a massive charity gala that beat a record for the most amount of money raised toward humanitarian organizations. It was of course run by the Humanity’s Reach Initiative, which had grown immensely since we joined and put in our efforts. The two of us were happy together. We didn’t have to hide our relationship from anyone — not even ourselves. In the penthouse, we were a little family. We didn’t get engaged, though, but that was okay with me. I was just excited to meet our daughter. I was lying on the couch after a long day of teaching and going to public events when I felt it. Selina had just given me a good scolding for overexerting myself so close to my due date, and now I was reading a book with a sandwich and a cup of tea sitting on the coffee table. Suddenly, I felt something strange. “Um… Selina?!” I called out. I dropped my book and stood, my eyes widening at the large wet spot left behind on the couch. Selina came running, and her eyes widened as well. “Did your…” Her voice faded and she clamped her hand over her mouth. I nodded slowly, both excited and terrified out of my mind. “My water broke. Daisy is on the way.” Edrick and I decided to name the baby Daisy. Daisy Anne Morgan… Someday, I would tell her how her big sister picked that name out, and it was the prettiest and most special name I had ever heard. The contractions began soon after my water broke. Selina was on the phone with Edrick and was telling him to get home when I felt the first one. I let out a loud groan and practically doubled over from the pain as I gripped the back of the couch with white knuckles. “Mom?” Ella asked, tugging on my skirt. “Are you alright?” I nodded and swallowed, feeling myself already beginning to sweat from the pain. “Yes, love. It’s called a contraction.” Ella c****d her head to the side. “What does that mean?” I gritted my teeth through the pain and managed a smile. “It means that your little sister is trying to get out,” I said, pinching Ella’s cheek. I was overtaken then by another wave of pain, and Selina came scurrying out of the kitchen with a worried look on her face. “Edrick is on his way. I’ll take you to the hospital now if you want—” “No.” I shook my head firmly. “I want to wait for Edrick.” Selina opened her mouth to protest at first, but then quickly shut it again. I could tell that she knew that there was no changing my mind now, and so she and Ella both stayed with me while I paced back and forth around the living room, clutching my belly as waves of contractions came over me. Finally, Edrick burst out of the elevator with a wild look on his face. His tie was loosened, his shirt was half untucked, and his hair was a mess. He looked like he practically flew here. I couldn’t help but laugh. “You look ridiculous,” I teased. “Mom peed on the couch!” Ella shouted. Selina hushed Ella. “Don’t be rude!” she scolded. “It’s not urine! It’s called amniotic fluid.” Ella furrowed her brow, still clutching my skirt. “Well, it looks like pee.” Edrick and I both burst out laughing. Ella never ceased to lighten the mood, even when she didn’t mean to. Within minutes, Edrick and I were on the way to the hospital. Ella threw a royal fit when she found out that she couldn’t come until later, but I knew that it would likely be hours spent in the hospital and that it would be worse if she came now. As Edrick drove, he clutched my hand and kept looking over at me nervously, as though I would explode or even just disappear into thin air. “I love you,” Edrick said as he took a turn. Through the pain of the contractions, I could hardly speak. I could only smile back at him, and I squeezed his hand three times. Over the past six months, we had developed a secret code to say I love you without having to speak… And at that moment, I needed to use that secret code more than ever. Edrick grinned and squeezed back. Soon enough, the hospital came into view. Despite the pain, I couldn’t stop smiling. I was so excited to finally meet our daughter.
