Chapter 951
rence was taking a bath in the evening, and Ste had just drunk milk and was preparing for bed
when the doorbell rang.
She walked over to open the door and was surprised to see Donald standing outside, "It''s sote. Why
are you here?"
"Where is rence?"
"He''s in the shower. What''s wrong?"
"Nothing. I came by to see you guys."
Ste was speechless.
She smiled and turned sideways, "Come in."
Ste went to pour him a ss of water. Donald sat on the sofa and saw nothing of children there, so
he asked, "Where is your son?"
"In the next room. He''s already asleep."
"Well."
Ste sat opposite and looked at the band-aid on the corner of his forehead, "What happened to your
head?"
Donald touched it, "Nothing. I identally bumped it."
At this time, rence came out of the bathroom, nced at Donald and approached, "What are you
doing here?"
Ste yawned lightly, for she was a bit sleepy, "You guys can talk. I''ll go to bed first."
rence''s voice was low. "Okay."
After Ste went to her bedroom, Donald immediatelyined, "What the hell were you thinking?
Ask only two people to catch Harris?"
rence sat opposite with his legs crossed, "So?"
Donald frowned, "Harris has already struck out at Daphne once, which means he''s been eyeing her for
many days. She''s in a hazardous situation now."
"Since you''re so worried about her, why did youe to me? Shouldn''t you stay by her side?"
Donald was instantly tongue-tied.
rence got up. "Want me to drive you?"
Donald said nothing.
He got up and said, "Two people are not enough. You know how cruel Harris is if something happens to
Daphne…."
Donald immediately shut up with rence''s nce.
Back to the bedroom, seeing Ste still sitting on the bed, rence said, "Still up?"
Ste put down the sketchbook. "Has Donald left?"
"Yes."
"He came for Daphne, right?"
rence sat next to her in silence.
Ste smiled, "So you didn''t tell him the truth."
Since they wanted to catch Harris, how could they only send two people?
Those two were explicitly protecting her safety.
If she had guessed correctly, Vincent had already led people and nted them in the ces where
Daphne would often go.
rence pinched her nose. "Quite clever."
"Alright, get to bed. You have to go to the hospital tomorrow to get a dressing change."
Lying on the bed, rence put his hand over her slightly bulging belly and whispered, "When will we
feel it?"
"It''s still a while away. Four or five months. Maybe five or six monthster."
"Soon."
Ste gently held his hand. "Yes. It was only a month or two left."
Once this winter was over, the baby would be born when spring came.
"Have you thought of a name yet?"
Ste shook her head, "I don''t know if it''s a boy or a girl yet. We''ll see when it''s born."
After a pause, Ste added, "Or I leave it to you. You''ll think of something better than me."
renceughed soundlessly, "So modest?"
"I''m showing respect. I''ll take my time thinking about it if you refuse."
rence pulled her into his arms with his jaw resting against her forehead, "Whatever the name is, I
want you to be safe and sound and stay by my side forever."
"That''s unlikely."
"Why?"
Ste whispered, "Children will have their own lives when they grow up, and sooner orter, they will
leave us, so the only one who can stay by your side forever is me."
rence raised his eyebrows and hugged her tightly, "Having you is enough."
...
When Donald returned home, he went straight into his study. Today, he found some details simr to
the severalwsuits he had participated in before, so he went to the bookshelf to look for information.
The shelf was full of cases that he had handled over the years.
He was looking through the information he wanted, one by one, when his fingers suddenly stopped.
Henry Aldrich.
He pulled the file out.
Even though almost ten years had passed and his memory was vague, the name was deeply engraved
in his mind.
Donald sat at his desk, flipping through the file as if a door of memory had opened wide.
Henry Aldrich was apany''s treasurer, honest and sincere, treating everyone with kindness and a
smile.
However, no one expected that such a person would be used of having an affair with his boss''s wife
and embezzling tens of millions of dors of public money.
Most of his colleagues and neighbors cursed the family when the news came out, saying they had
never expected him to be such a hypocritical and hateful person.
After the incident, Henry begged for help everywhere and tried every possible way. Still, he was not
robust and wealthy, and even all thewyers he sought were bribed by thepany''s owner just after
he left.
At that time, Henry was at his wits'' end. What was waiting for him was not only a colossal debt but also
a prison sentence.
He had the idea of asking for death.
It was when he was about tomit suicide that he met Donald.
Donald had just graduated from university and had taken on several cases, all of which he had won
beautifully.
After learning about Henry''s situation, he took on the case despite the advice of his predecessors at
thew firm.
It turned out that Donald''s choice was correct. Henry was innocent, and the one who used him was
thepany owner''s wife. She hade up with the idea of finding a scapegoat because the
company owner had embezzled public money.
The honest and unsupported Henry became their first choice.
Donald remembered that Henry seemed to have a daughter, who always wore a school uniform and
looked at him from afar with hostile and wary eyes when he was investigating for evidence.
She felt as if he was like thosewyers who took the money and would eliminate the evidence
collected.
Later, thewsuit was won, and this little girl, standing in front of him, put away the hostility and
wariness in her eyes and was full of gratitude.
She said, "Thank you. You are different from all of them."

Donald smiled indifferently and invited her. "Are you hungry? I will treat you to dinner."
