Chapter 1454


    Lina gave him a gentle nudge. “I know.”


    “I really love you.”


    Her grin grew even brighter. “I know!”


    “Honey, I…” Zuko wanted to say something even more affectionate, but Lena knocked on the door.


    “Lina!”


    Zuko took a deep breath with a helpless expression.


    Lina smiled and let Lena in, but she noticed a few people apanying Lena.


    “Mr. Chriss?”


    Elijah nodded, and Kasey also greeted them warmly.


    N hopped around Lina’s bedside. “Where’s the little baby?”


    “Hey, N!” Elijah hurriedly stopped her.


    “It’s okay.” Lina smiled and patiently exined to N, “The baby is in the baby room next door. But


    she’s asleep right now. How about you y with her when she wakes up?”


    N pped her hands excitedly and ran over to Lena.


    Elijah looked somewhat helpless and frowned, chiding Kasey in a hushed tone, “I told you not to bring


    her along. Look, she’s just causing trouble!”


    “What’s the harm in that?” Zuko said warmly, “It’s in a child’s nature! Mr. Chriss, I have a daughter now


    too, and I wouldn’t want to see anyone mistreat their daughter!”


    The yful N made a face at her father and hid behind Kasey and Lena.


    Elijah chuckled and had to surrender. He handed over a congrattory gift and also his resignation.


    “This is…” Zuko and Lina exchanged nces in slight surprise.


    “I’ve thought about this carefully. I hope you both approve it.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join &

    Lina pursed her lips. She had known long ago that Elijah would not stay in the Thompson Group all his


    life. The Chriss family was not a major one, but it was still reputable in Centrolis. There must be things


    in the family waiting for Elijah.


    Moreover, he had worked hard for the Thompson Group all these years. His contribution was essential


    to thepany’s secure foundation. It was well within reason that he took a step back after everything


    he had aplished.


    Kasey stepped forward and said quietly, “Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton, Elijah has been working for the


    Thompson Group for many years, and now he wants his own space and career. I hope you can


    understand.”


    Zuko and Lina exchanged nces again and nodded.


    “We wish you…” Zuko patted Elijah’s shoulder with a smile. “Both a sessful career and a happy


    family!”


    He emphasized the word “family”.


    Lina noticed that Kasey blushed. Kasey’s gaze at Elijah was different, too. Although she had a love-


    hate rtionship with the man, her love had ultimately prevailed.


    After chatting for a while, Kasey had to leave for something, and Elijah took N to look at the next


    room at the door.


    “That’s the little baby,” Elijah said softly. “She’s very small and cute, isn’t she?”


    N nodded. Her clear gaze was innocent as she looked at Elijah. “Dad, when are you and mommy


    giving me a little sister?”


    “Uh…” Elijah had no idea how to answer that.

    This was when a gentle voice echoed from behind. “When your dad starts loving your mom, you’ll


    naturally have a little sister.”


    Elijah looked up and saw Lena walking over. He sneered. “It can happen without love, too.”


    Lena’s eyes were cold as she stared at him. “Mr. Chriss, I still believe that a child is the result of the


    parents’ love. They’re born to be cherished and to elevate the parents’ rtionship. Not like you…”


    “What about me?”


    “You treat your wife like a tool!”


    Elijah was rendered speechless. It was the first time in his life he had been confronted like that.
