Chapter 1039


    Josie shook her head helplessly. “Wasn’t the ne dyed? Why did you stille?”


    “What are you talking about?” L walked straight into the mansion, speaking as he did so. “I


    missed Grape. Can’t Ie and see her? And as for you, you’re being absolutely ridiculous. How


    could you take a child to such a ce?”


    “What should I do then, leave her at home? Wouldn’t that be a disservice to your efforts in setting the


    venue of the final in Sumanthova?” Josie half-jokingly said, trailing behind him.


    L casually took the bag from her. “What nasty things have those little rascals been saying


    again?”


    Josie didn’t tease him further. Instead, she pushed open the door to be greeted by Grape’s toys


    everywhere, among which the multiplication table hanging on the wall was particrly noticeable.


    “Whose backpack is this?”

    “Do you really think it’s mine?” Josie asked with a mix of helplessness and pride in her tone.


    Grape proudly proimed, “It’s mine, Mr. L!”


    “Can you not get carried away? She’s barely over a year old and hasn’t even been weaned off form


    yet, and here you are, wanting her to recite multiplication tables?” L was incredulous, gently


    pinching Grape’s cheek.


    Leaning against the edge of the table, Josie poured a ss of water to soothe her parched throat.


    “She’s interested in it, so I let her carry it around and y.”


    In truth, she was also quite surprised by Grape’s natural talent in mathematics. Grape’s affinity for


    numbers always reminded her of someone.


    L hadn’t visited for three months, and Grape was particrly attached to him. They yed


    together for an hour, but in the end, she was still a child and couldn’t resist the urge to sleep.


    After tucking Grape in, L looked up to find Josie also dozing off on the couch. He picked up a


    nket and carefully walked over. Just as he was about to cover her with it, she suddenly opened her


    eyes.


    Josie’s sleep had always been light. She sat up. “I’m sorry. I was a bit tired.”


    L casually sat down, letting out a snort. “I thought after working together for over two years, you


    wouldn’t be so distant.”


    Only after a while did Josie realize it. “Has it been two years already?”


    “Two years and three months,” L stated, emphasizing each word.


    “Time flies. I still remember the first thing you said to me when I arrived in Sumanthova.” Josie squinted


    her eyes. “You insisted that I expand Keller Group’s overseas market within three years.”


    Admiration filled L’s eyes. “You aplished it in just a year and a half. And for eight months of


    that time, you were pregnant.”


    Josie curved her lips. Reminiscing about the chaos from that period, she couldn’t help but sigh. Back


    then, every day was exhausting, but she had no choice. She couldn’t allow herself to stop. If she did,


    she would be flooded with unnecessary memories, which were just too painful to bear.


    “Without you, Keller Group wouldn’t be where it is today.”


    “I should be the one thanking you. During my most challenging times, you assigned me the toughest


    tasks, preventing me from falling apart.”


    The headquarters of Keller Group was in Rivodia. At that time, she had just arrived in Sumanthova


    when she received a call from L, “Ms. Warren, you’re quite the diva, aren’t you? Postponing your


    start date for so many days without giving a response? Do you think that’s bing of you?”


    Josie immediately furrowed her brows. “I’m sorry. I’m already in Sumanthova, I’m afraid I can’t…”


    After L heard what she had to say, he gritted his teeth in anger. “Sumanthova? Do you still want


    to join ourpany?”


    “Of course, but…”


    “Then it’s settled. You’ll be in charge of all thepany’s overseas affairs.”


    Josie was rendered speechless.


    Even though Josie was now the design director at Keller Group, reflecting upon her initial stages


    reminded her of how L treated her as cheapbor back then.


    Josie rose to her feet. “I’m tired. I’m going to take a nap.”


    “Hey…”


    “If I continue this conversation with you, I’m afraid I might start sympathizing with capitalists, so let’s


    forget about it.” Josie chuckled, exuding an air of confidence and nonchnce.


    L chuckled and shook his head, giving her an affectionate look.
