Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love

Chapter 526 Maisie’s Daily Life

Professor Lee sounded overjoyed.

“You went overseas for quite a while this time. I even heard rumors that you’d started a slugfest with the Albertson Group, even put it all on high stakes. Everyone’s admiring you.”

Georgia recalled what Randy had said. Some people were already thinking of her as a goddess of the stock market. She had to laugh.

“The rumors are just rumors. Something did happen, but it’s been resolved. I’ve got some projects I need help researching. It’s hard to speak clearly about it over the phone. If you’re free the day after tomorrow, Professor, I’d like to come meet up, then show you the information. I’d also like to invite you into the project, Professor.”

“I’ll be in the labs that day, and I’m not busy with much these days. Just staying in the lab and experimenting with those folks.”

Georgia smiled, relieved. Then she thought of Aston.

“Professor, has Aston gone back to MU to work yet? Something happened yesterday and he’s a bit angry with me, so he came back early. I’ve been too busy to ask after him. Do you know what’s up with him, Professor?”

“That guy did come back, but he hasn’t come in to work yet. I went to see him once. He’s getting blackout drunk in his apartment every day. Refuses to see anyone. If he hadn’t still an ounce of respect for me, I probably wouldn’t have managed to see him either.

“I told him to work properly and get it together, but he couldn’t. He just told me to leave him alone and let him go wild for a while. Seems like there’s a lot of pent up resentment and sadness in him. I just let him do it, so he wouldn’t develop ulcers from working madly in the lab like last time.”

Was he still not getting it together? Georgia didn’t know if her decision back then had been the right one.

But Kayden had requested it, and Kayden was in a safe location now. There was news of her coming out.

Kayden was going through her attacks, and she was in great pain.

But her body was well maintained, and aside from her spirit being tormented, her flesh could still take it for now.

Maybe she should meet with Aston and talk about it.

“I’ll go see Aston and see if I can persuade him, Professor. Don’t worry.”

“Then I’ll leave it to you. This kid is really just too invested in emotions. All those years I’ve known him, he’s been cold to people and things outside of himself. He managed to fall in love through so much difficulty, but then he just ended up hurt again and again. The path of love is truly a treacherous one.”

Georgia thought about it and felt the Professor’s words made sense.

That was the sort of person Aston was. He didn’t have much he cared about. He had his dreams, so he could work seriously every day, and devote himself to the lab.

With love, he loved and protected that person with complete pureness.

But unfortunately, that love was based on lies and deceit from the very beginning.

Even now, he couldn’t recover.

After calling Professor Lee, Robert had come back.

“Hurry up and shower, then come to bed. I’m nodding off already.”

Robert complied, while Georgia laid in bed, drifting off drowsily.

A few minutes later, she felt a weight by her. Robert had already finished showering, put his pajamas on, and laid down in bed.

“I’m feeling a bit sleepy. If there’s anything, we can talk about it tomorrow. Let me rest for a while.”

Georgia mumbled and closed her eyes, falling asleep completely.

She slept all the way through to when it was almost noon the following day. She was probably just that tired and secure in her own home, but Georgia slept particularly comfortably this night. No dreams at all, just restful sleep.

When she woke, she saw the warm winter sun outside.

Robert wasn’t in bed anymore. She got dressed and left the room, seeing the children playing around in the living room.

Robert was actually playing with the children.

Georgia descended the stairs.

“How long have you been awake? I was the only one who slept in?”

“No, the kids have only been awake for half an hour or so. I got up an hour earlier than you. Everyone slept in today. How do you feel? All rested up?”

“I slept really well. Made up for all the sleep I lost recently. I’m a bit hungry now. Have you had breakfast?”

“I’ve already eaten with the kids. You go eat. The chef made a mild porridge. Sip at it and soothe your stomach. I’ll keep playing with the children here.”

Robert said that, while Georgia brought up something else, concerned.

“Right, I saw a missed call from Travis. I was asleep and my phone was on do not disturb, so I didn’t get the call. Did he contact you?”

“He called me and said they’re arriving at two or so in the afternoon. Don’t worry. I’ve already told him you were sleeping.”

Georgia relaxed and smiled as she went over to the dining room and ate her fill of breakfast.

It was already past noon, and the children went outside to play on the swings, so Robert didn’t need to accompany them.

Georgia smiled and walked up to him.

“Where’s your mother? Why isn’t she coming over to tell her stories to the kids today?”

“The butler told me that my mother’s been working on a large painting recently. She stays in the drawing room every morning to paint, and she won’t leave for a while. She’ll probably come have dinner with us at night.”

“So that’s why.”

Georgia nodded, and Robert continued.

“Jason gave me a call. After he came back, he’s been arranging the cooperation between us and Antonio, Adolf, and Riley. We’ll have to go meet Riley in a few days and continue on with this. The negotiations might take a while.”

“Has Riley made any unreasonable demands? Our sides are cooperating in a relationship that benefits each other and shares information. Isn’t that fine?”

Georgia asked strangely.

“It’s not that he’s made any unreasonable demands. Riley’s just mentioned that I’m to discuss terms with him in person. Jason, though, says that he negotiated somewhat with Riley, and found that Riley’s particularly obsessed with the details. The man pores over every minute term repeatedly, and sometimes even overturns them, which is why the talks might take a bit longer. He’s probably one of those obsessive types.”

“Speaking of, have you found who Riley’s lover is?”

Georgia asked curiously, and Robert shook his head.

“I’ve put people on it, but I don’t know who that woman is. Riley’s hidden the news well, and the people outside have no idea. He’s invested in such a large biolab in private, and never let it show. It’s probably because he’s putting those people strictly on finding a way to wake his lover instead of running a full biopharmaceutical firm in researching medication for other patients.”

“I’ve never understood Riley Price. The more I know about him, the more I feel like he’s keeping a lot of secrets. But the two of us have it luckier than he does. We have to find a way with them, Robert, and cure your body.”

Robert hugged his wife gently.

“What are you thinking about? We’re fine now, aren’t we? As for Riley, you don’t have to worry. We can’t let our guard down completely. It’s not impossible that one day, he tries to save his lover by ruining me just like Eric did. I’ll watch out for him.”

As the two discussed that, Robert brought something else up.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
