Her words made me smile.


    "You should put in some effort. You''re not getting any younger. She already has a baby! It''s time for you to catch up.''


    Lauren snorted disdainfully and said, "Me? I''m afraid this will be my life. I''m already in my 30s. Besides, there are no candidates. Who am I going to have a baby with?" Both Ivanna and I realized that we couldn''t persuade her about her situation with Oliver. For some reason, there had been no news about Oliver during this period.


    Since he came over to drink with As that night, I have not seen him.


    I wonder how As talked to him. Did he give up willingly?


    After buying severalrge bags of snacks for Ivanna, Lauren finally dropped me off at thepany. I repeatedly reminded Ivanna to take care of herself and rest well. I also entrusted Lauren to take good care of her before reluctantly getting out of the car and heading upstairs.


    Sitting at my desk, I pondered for a moment, then picked up the phone and dialed Annika''s number.


    She answered cheerfully, "Ms. Chloe, hello! You must be worried about him."


    "How wasst night? Was there any trouble?" I asked with concern. I had wanted to call Annikast night, but all my time was upied by As.


    "It felt a bit strange at first. We yed untilte, and he cried a bit when looking for Myra. But after that, he fell asleep when he got really tired," Annika reported truthfully.


    "It''s normal to feel a bit strange at first. It''ll get better gradually." I sighed. "Charlie is clever. Teach him well."


    "Yes, he''s really smart. He''s no longer shy around his dad. When Arton teases him, heughs, giggling. Oh... It''s really fate! Myra came early this morning and Charlie was so happy! Now he''s tired from ying and sleeping."


    "That''s good. Myra was afraid he might not adapt well and get sick. She''s very attentive. Ask her for more advice. She''s a friend worth making," I instructed.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    "Thank you, Ms. Chloe. You''re truly our benefactor."


    Then she suddenly spoke hushedly, "My brother didn''t go out the whole night and hasn''t left today. It seems like Charlie has captured his heart. Charlie even learned how to call him Dada.


    "Every time he sees Arton, he just says, ''Dada, Dada." It makes him so happy. You haven''t seen how adorable he looks."


    I felt happy upon hearing Annika''s excitement. "Let the child change him. Urge him not to show any bad habits in front of the child."


    "No, he hasn''t smoked sincest night. Ms. Chloe, you''re truly a saint. Myra told us many things about how you care for our little one. You''re a great person."


    "Don''t mention it. We''re family from


    now on. Don''t make it so formal.


    Like the others, you can call me


    Chlo," I said amiably. "About youmet


    job, if you still want to stay at Arkadia, I can help you figure out a way to adjust your schedule."


    "No, I have to thank you! You''ve all said Charlie''s health is fragile. Plus, he just came back. I want to take care of him wholeheartedly. Later when he''s a bit older, we''ll see. n to resign and take care of him. I can''t always trouble Myra


    It seemed Annika already had a n.


    "That''s fine too. When you want to work again,e back. I can help you reserve that position. Coming back to Arkadia won''t be a problem," I assured her, making sure she had no worries.


    "Really?" Annika became excited.


    Of course, entering Arkadia required rigorous screening. Even for a small cashier position, it was a


    one-in-a-hundred chance because Arkadia''s sry in Foswood was among the highest in the industry. Who would resign from such a good job?


    "Thank you so much, Ms. Chloe!" Annika''s tone indicated how happy she was.


    "Here we go again!"


    Both of us chuckled.


    "There''s something I need to trouble you with, Ms. Chloe," she said cautiously.


    "Go ahead!"
