Chapter 594 Holding My Wife and Child
Elias felt that ever since William came back from his trip, he had taken to speaking in riddles,
Willian casually handed the contract with the Aurora Group to Jayden.
Jayden flipped through it, raising an eyebrow. “The scale of this project is quite large. It’ll take at least three years to complete. With this project, the Xanther Group can quickly get on track. If we compare the Xanther Group to a sapling, it’s now starting to take root and sprout.”
William’s expression turned cold, making it hard to discern his emotions.
He said, “The Xanther Group needs to get on track. It has to not only take root and sprout but also bloom and bear fruit.”
She could come to harvest the fruit when it was ready.
Bryan and Charles left the hospital together.
The night breeze in May was cool in Capebatt City, but the hospital was bustling around the clock
The two stood by the roadside, waiting for their car to arrive.
Across the street, shops were lit with colorful neon lights, casting their glow on the two men. One looked stern and serious, the other relaxed and
chefree.
Bryan questioned Charles, asking, “What did you mean earlier when you be met someone? That was rather rude
asked Willlain that? What did you mean by asking if something happened or if
Charles shrugged. “Tve rarely seen Mr. Middleton get so emotional Even when Ms. Hoven died, he wasn’t like this. So, I was curious.”
Bryan said, “We’re partners now. If you keep probing him like that, he won’t be happy.”
William was not known for his good temper
“Okay, I got in.” Charles smiled. Then, he brought up the Aurora Group’s project. “It has a total value of jon billion. That’s quite the number.
After leaving the hospital, Ellas went straight home.
Him and Ashley lived in a place called Pearl Bay. That day was the earliest he had come home in a while as he usually only returned in the early hours of the morning
As s

He was startled for a moment before quickly realizing it was Ashley. He rushed inside without even changing his
He passed through the living room and noticed a bowl of noodles on the table. It was barely touched and looked rather unappetizing.
He entered the room and saw Ashley clutching onto the sink, vomiting
He immediately went to her, rubbing her back, his brows furrowing instinctively. “Have you been throwing up often?”
Ashley was startled by his touch on her back. She tumed around, surprised to see him. But another wave of nausen hit her, and she quickly bent over vomit again.
Elias hurried to get two glasses of water. After she finished retching, he handed her one to rinse her mouth, then gave her the other. “Drink this, it’ll help.”
When
ley sipped the water, she noticed a tangy sweet taste. “What did you put in this?”
“Don’t make it sound like I poisoned you.” Elias, both amused and annoyed, pulled her out of the bathroom. “I just added some juice. Plain water is tasteless, and I was worried you’d throw it up again.”
Ashley had developed a craving for sour foods since becoming pregnant.
She watched as Elas rolled up his sleeves and cleaned the sink without a trace of disgust. She was momentarily stunned.
“Don’t just stand there. Go sit on the couch,” he urged.
Ashley silently pursed her lips and went to sit on the small sofa in the bedroom.
After Elias finished with the cleanup, he fetched a pillow and placed it behind her lower back to make her more comfortable. Then, he opened the window slightly to let in the night breeze.
“This should be better. Although it’s summer, I heard that pregnant women shouldn’t be in air–conditioned rooms all the time. Natural air is healthler,”

Ashley turned her head slightly to look at him. “Why are you back so early?”
“finished work early, so I came home,” be replied.
Ellas walked over, scooped her up to his lap, and held her close. “Is a bowl of noodles all you are? No wonder you’re five months pregnant and still

haven’t gained much weight.”
Except for the baby bump and a bit of extra flesh on her face, Ashley looked pretty much the same as before she was pregnant.
Elias ran his hands over her, unable to find any extra weight.
Ashley grabbed his wandering hands, trying to get up, but he held her tight. “I’ll order some proper food. Don’t move. Let me hold my wife and child.”
