Seeing the other person iming to be the mother of two adorable kids, Adrian''s gaze turned serious, and he didn''t reply. He simply lowered his eyes, expressionless, and looked at the phone, without any additional movement. Meanwhile, the people in the meeting room discreetly shifted their gaze towards him because of his action.


    Come on, even the person speaking in front of the projector was stumbling over their words.


    The intern had never seen such a situation before and was so scared that they tightly gripped the pen in their hand, wanting to bury their head in the notebook.


    Jacob was initially shocked, but then he remained calm.


    This kind of thing had bemonce for him, actually.


    After all, there had been times in meetings in the past when he would pull out his phone right in front of everyone, simply because those two adorable kids happened to be livestreaming.


    Although there were regtions in meetings that no one was allowed to y with their phones.


    But he insisted on doing so, who would dare to say anything to him?


    Everyone could only turn a blind eye and let it pass. After all, the entirepany was his, right?


    Just like now, Jacob cleared his throat and pretended that nothing had happened, saying, "Let''s continue."


    The next second, Adrian had already casually put away his phone, sping his hands together and cing them on the table, with a cold and sharp look on his face.


    Everyone: "......"


    Being stared at by him with such a icy gaze, they might as well let him stare at his phone. At least then everyone wouldn''t be so uneasy as they were now.


    So, everyone began to regret and secretly hoped that Adrian would look at his phone again soon.


    However, they were disappointed. The meeting continued for several hours without Adrian looking at his phone again.


    When it finally ended, quite a few people were trembling and felt mentally exhausted, almost copsing from the intense focus.


    It was only when Adrian closed the materials, stood up expressionlessly, and left the conference room that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Thank goodness, he finally left. God knows how torturous this meeting was."


    "Same here, my goodness. It felt like my butt was on fire, I didn''t even dare to move. Adrian''s presence is so strong."


    In fact, most of the people in today''s meeting were not from the ckwood family business. It was an international meeting, with many employees from otherpanies.


    But as soon as Adrian showed up, everyone instinctively became fearful.


    "How can anyone be stronger than someone who holds such a high position at a young age and has such amanding style?"


    While chatting, some people started to gossip.


    "Let me tell you something interesting. I heard that our CEO is nning to put a woman in his room tonight."


    As soon as they heard something unrted to work, the gossip fire ignited within the group, and they eagerly leaned in to ask for details.


    "What? Putting a woman in Mr. ckwood''s room? Is this serious?"


    "I heard Mr. ckwood has an amazing self-control, he''s virtuous. What is our CEO thinking?"


    "What else can they be thinking? Obviously, they have a problem with their own mind, thinking that other men are the same as them, so they want to use this method to please Mr. ckwood." "Ha, be careful not to identally make things worse and end up angering Mr. ckwood instead."


    ...


    After dinner, Dn Hansen collected the used bowls and chopsticks and took them to the kitchen, while Ruby Hansen went to the kitchen to get a ss.


    Clean the cloth and then took off her shoes, wanting to step on the chair to help Eva wipe the table.


    "Ruby, it''s good that Mommy is here."


    Eva took the cloth from her hand and at the same time, she picked up Ruby Hansen with one hand.


    Ruby Hansen, who failed to wipe the table sessfully, pouted dissatisfiedly. "But I want to help Mommy."


    "Ruby, I know you care about me, but you are still young. Help Mommy when you grow up, okay?"


    After saying that, Eva reached out and gently tapped Ruby Hansen''s petite and fair nose.


    Listening to her, Ruby Hansen opened her big round eyes. Wearing a milky white pajama, she was as soft and fluffy as a freshly cooked sponge cake. She seemed to be seriously thinking about Eva''s words, and only nodded seriously after thinking it through.


    "Well, when I grow up, I will definitely help Mommy with a lot of things."


    "Okay, it''s settled between Mommy and Ruby. Go and y by yourself."


    "Then, Mommy, kiss kiss." Ruby Hansen pointed at her own forehead.


    Eva couldn''t help but smile, bent down and nted a kiss on the little baby''s smooth forehead. Ruby Hansen then turned around and left satisfied.


    When Dn Hansen came out of the kitchen, this was the scene he saw, and a touch of envy shed in his eyes.


    He took small steps to walk up to Eva''s side, but remained silent.


    Eva lowered her head to wipe the table and found Dn Hansen standing by her feet, looking at her with expectant eyes, but his lips were pursed, like a little adult.


    Eva was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she leaned down and kissed his forehead.


    "Go inside and y with your sister."


    Dn Hansen, who had been a bit upset, visibly brightened up after receiving Eva''s forehead kiss. But even if he was happy, he only slightly raised the corners of his lips before leaving. Watching his figure, Eva couldn''t help but think of someone.


    This child, Dn Hansen... really resembles someone''s childhood.


    That person was like this when he was young too. He wouldn''t openly show his happiness. If you didn''t pay attention, you couldn''t even tell his emotions.


    Indeed, certain genes have a profound influence.


    Actually, Eva never thought she was pregnant with twins. It wasn''t untilter on, when she went abroad with her father, that she had her check-up and established her medical records. Afterwards, the doctor informed her that she was pregnant with twins.


    Then, she put in a lot of effort to give birth to Dn Hansen and Ruby Hansen.


    Dn Hansen had an introverted and reserved personality, rarely spoke, and often furrowed his brows, just like his father.


    On the other hand, Ruby Hansen waspletely outgoing and active, with a passion for food. From birth, she ate more than anyone else and had bright eyes and a loud cry.


    Eva even suspected that her cravings during pregnancy were all because of them.


    Although they were born just a short time apart, Dn Hansen became the older brother and Ruby Hansen became the younger sister.


    Whether it was because of Dn''s title as the older brother or his nature, he always took special care of Ruby. In any case, the birth of these two brought warmth andpanionship to Eva''s lonely life. At the thought of this, a beautiful smile curled up at the corners of Eva''s lips.


    Her phone rang, and Eva nced at it to see that it was a call from her best friend, Emily. Since she was washing dishes, Eva put the phone on speaker and entered the kitchen, talking to Emily as she worked. "Are you free?"


    On the other end, Emily stretchedzily, yawned, and then replied, "Not really."


    "If you''re not busy, why did you call me?"


    "I just wanted to ask you how you''re consideringing back to the country?"
