Chapter 239 He’s Back
Before Xeno could reply, another WhatsApp message popped up.
Charles: [Don’t bother with Xeno. We’re at CARTIER right now. He saw Eddie publicly say that you are his ideal type. So, he wanted to drag Eddie out for a beating and then put him in a sack and throw him into the river.]
Hellen: […]
Suddenly, a new group chat showed on Hellen’s WhatsApp: [Three Handsome Guys]
[Charles has invited you into the group.]
Hellen looked at the members within the group list: Xeno, Gu Hans, and Charles.
Not long afterward, Charles also invited Rosy and Carol.
The group chat suddenly became lively.
Charles screenshotted a picture and placed it in the group chat. It was his chatting record with Xeno just now.
In the picture, Eddie held the idea that his brothers” wives shouldn’t be bullied. He was planning to make trouble for Eddie.
The group went silent.
Carol: [Xeno, don’t be impulsive!”]
Xeno: [Charles! You traitor!]
Hellen let out a snicker.
Another message popped up in the group.
Hans: [Good idea, but Hellen will be unhappy.]
The group quieted down.
In their private chat, Hellen received several documents from Hans. He had successfully signed a contract with Moreton.
Hans: [I’ll go back tomorrow.]
Tomorrow?
Hellen pursed her lips. Last night, Hans had clearly said that he would stay there for three more days.
She typed: [What time is the flight? I’ll pick you up.]
Hans: [No need. I’ll meet you in the Weststadt District.]
Hellen agreed. Unexpectedly, Hans did not ask about Eddie.
…
The United Department of the Weststadt District, 10:30 in the morning.
Hellen was nestled in Lambert’s office with snacks from the Grant family by her side.
The person who sent the snacks said that Hans had asked him to prepare them.
Hellen was surprised by Hans’s meticulousness.
While eating snacks, she watched Lambert make tea.
“Mr. Thompson, how is Mrs. Thompson recently?”
“She almost completely healed, but she is a little weak,” Lambert said with a satisfied smile.
Hellen nodded. She hadn’t been able to find a chance to take Mrs. Thompson’s pulse recently, but the situation should be much better now.
The two of them ate snacks and drank tea. At noon, the person from the Grant family brought them lunch.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Granny Grant. I need to go visit her later,” Hellen said while eating lunch.
Lambert glanced at her belly and said, “You should stop running around these days. Hans is about to come back anyways. When he comes back, he’ll take care of everything here. You”d better rest at home. Take care of the baby in your belly.”
Hellen lowered her head and rubbed her lower abdomen. Recently, she could clearly feel that the baby had become much livelier and had often kicked her.
But her spirits were getting worse and worse. Not only was she addicted to sleeping, but the soreness in her back was also getting stronger and stronger.
“It’s been seven months, and you’re still running around. It’s worrying.”
Hellen smiled. “I’m fine.”
Others thought that she was seven months pregnant, but in fact, everyone in the Jovano family knew that she was eight months pregnant.
It was also because of this that when she went out, Joanna would scold her.
At half past one in the afternoon, Hellen received a call.
The number displayed on the phone was unfamiliar. After Hellen answered the phone, she heard a middle-aged woman’s voice.
“Hello, is that Miss Jovano?”
Hellen replied, “Yes, who are you?”
When the polite middle-aged woman heard the positive answer, her voice became colder.
“I am Eddie’s mother.”
Hellen frowned and understood.
She asked respectfully, “Hello, Mrs. Levi. What can I do for you?”
As for Eddie’s mother, Hellen knew that she was the shrewish woman who wanted to fight in the mausoleum on the day when Eddie’s younger brother died.
She was the mother of Eddie and his brother. Eddie’s younger brother borrowed his car. Later, the brake failed and the car accident happened. The woman actually thought that Eddie had tampered with the brake.
She was really partial to her youngest son. And she even suspected her elder son.
After Eddie took over the Levi Group, Hellen heard something about the Levi family from her brother.
When the son took over the family business, the parents should have supported him. However, the Levi family was different. Even if Eddie was the only son left, his parents had held him back after he took over the company.
To put it bluntly, they wanted to control everything, including Eddie.
In the blink of an eye, Hellen had figured out a lot of things and guessed Mrs. Levi’s purpose in calling. She probably saw Eddie’s interview.
Mrs. Levi’s voice sounded a little cold. “Well. My husband and I would like to invite you to our house for dinner at 7:30 p. m. tonight. Please do me the favor, Miss Jovano.”
“I don’t have…”
“Beep…”
Mrs. Levi had hung up before Hellen could finish.
Hellen was speechless.
Rather than inviting her to dinner, Mrs. Levi was more likely to give an order.
Hellen felt some sympathy for Eddie.
She opened WhatsApp and sent a message to Eddie: [Eddie, your mother called and said that she wanted to invite me to your house for dinner. Could you please tell her that I don’t have time today?]
After a while, Eddie replied: [Hellen, you think too highly of me. Do you think that if my parents had listened to me, would I have fallen out with them?]
Hellen frowned: [Then shall I personally call her and refuse?]
After a long time, Eddie finally replied with a voice message.
“I was impulsive today and didn’t think of the reaction of my parents. But you”d better come here today. According to my mother’s character, if you don’t come today, she may go to the Jovano mansion to find you tomorrow.”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Hearing this, Hellen let out a long sigh.
The Jovano family and the Levi family were partners. Although it was the Jovano family that supported the Levi family in most of the cooperation, it was not good if their relationship went bad.
Eddie’s mother made this call because she was worried that the two of them really had some kind of relationship.
“Then I’ll go there and make it clear, lest something like this happens again in the future.” thought Hellen.
Three o’clock in the afternoon.
Hans walked into the United Department of the Weststadt District.
When Lambert saw Hans enter the office, the corners of his mouth twitched and he swaggered out.
“It’s boring to stay in the office. I’m going out for a walk.”
Only Hans and Hellen were left in the office.
Hans held a document in his hand, followed by David.
Hellen’s eyes flashed slightly. “You’re back.”
“Mm,” Hans replied and turned to look at David. “Send that document to the Grant Group.”
“Yes.”
Just a few seconds after David went out, Hans turned around and walked up to Hellen. Then he reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
He didn’t dare to use too much force, for fear of squeezing Hellen’s belly.
“Let go. Someone might come in.” Hellen lowered her voice and patted Hans’s arm.
The side of her face was pressed against Hans’s chest, and his heartbeat could almost be heard.
