"..."
The office was quiet.
Sean, the executive assistant, gave his glasses a push. Then, he walked over and closed the door, cutting off the gossipy gazes of those in the secretary's office outside but also arousing everyone's intense curiosity.
Chester weakly tried to tempt him. "Think about it, Justin. A soft, tender, and adorable daughter—don't you want one?"
The way he described it caused the sight of Pete playing with Barbies to flash across Justin's mind. A sharp glint instantly flashed in his eyes and with a warning tone, he asked, "What are you thinking of doing?"
Was he thinking of having Pete undergo some kind of outraging operation?
Chester was so scared that he cowered and stammered, "J-J-Justin, really! You can also have a daughter! I-if you go to Nora, you'll be able to have both a son and a daughter!"
Justin,"?"
His first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he hadn't brought up Pete...
But immediately after, he realized what he meant... But going to Nora... And having a daughter...
If he got into a relationship with that woman, her daughter would indeed have to call him Daddy. Wouldn't he have a daughter, then?
He frowned and subconsciously barked, "Don't be ridiculous!"
How could he possibly help someone else raise their kid?!
A wave of irritation suddenly surged up in him, causing him to become infuriated at the sight of Chester's cowering appearance. He immediately pointed to the door. "Get out."
Chester wanted to say more, but as soon as he said his name, Justin barked angrily, "Get out!"
"..."
A terrified Chester rushed out of his office. His legs were even shaking as he wiped the non-existent perspiration on his forehead.
However, his eyes were bright and shiny.
He had already told Justin the truth. He was the one who didn't believe him, so he couldn't blame him when he found out in the future... Right?
Time to hurry home, look for his little niece, and have her carry him in the game!
He left without any psychological burden. However, the low pressure in the office didn't ease.
Justin's eyes were downcast, but he suddenly couldn't process the words on the documents anymore.
It wasn't really a big deal to raise someone else's daughter. At the most, he could just have a nanny raise her instead. However, he had always been a cold and unfeeling man and found relationships highly
troublesome.
Cultivating feelings with that woman was already troublesome enough. If one added an additional daughter to it...
Wait a minute, when had he agreed to cultivate feelings with that woman?
Justin's eyes—which had always been cool, rational, restrained, and wise—appeared to be at a loss at this moment. A short while later, he let out a short scoff of laughter. He felt as if he was being unreasonably worried.
What did whether or not that woman had a child, and whether or not she had made mistakes in her youth have anything to do with him?
All he had done was having her treat someone's illness and owe her a favor, that was all.
He would just find an opportunity to return the favor and that would be it.
At the Andersons.
Sheril's eyes were shining beneath her double eyelids. "Nora, where did you get the formula?"
Nora was about to make up something when Sheril asked excitedly, "Did my aunt leave it for you?"
"..."
Seeing that she had already found a good excuse for her, Nora nodded.
Sheril immediately became so excited that she grabbed her hand. "The Myerses released the Cooling Tablets, which are even more effective than our Vitality Water, this year. In addition, they also produced a Carefree Pill and saved the elderly Mrs. Hunt. This has already become a legend in the industry!
