The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 604

It seemed she needed to find some time to consult Quintina. As an OB-GYN, her friend might know some workarounds to help them manage the situation.

By noon the next day, Raymond indeed had his scheduled lunch meeting with Zavier.

Vivica, however, found an excuse to gracefully bow out.

Truthfully, she had no real reason to be there. The two of them were going to be discussing upcoming collaborations. Given her high-risk twin pregnancy, there was a good chance she'd need to take an extended leave or even resign if her body couldn't handle the strain. Since she didn't plan on leading any new projects, attending the lunch was pointless.

Furthermore, keeping a healthy distance from other men seemed like a wise choice, especially considering the stubbornly jealous husband she had waiting at home. Even though she had zero interest in anyone else, others might get the wrong idea, leading to unnecessary complications.

She cherished her hard-won happiness immensely. All she wanted was to protect it and live a peaceful, drama-free life.

Instead of joining the business lunch, Vivica headed to the hotel to spend time with her mother and aunt.

Hillary, seated in her wheelchair, beamed when she saw her daughter walk in. "You only have a short lunch break. You should be resting at the office. Why are you running all the way over here?"

"I can catch a nap in the car on the way back," she explained gently. Besides, she wasn't the one driving; the bodyguard Joseph had assigned to her doubled as her personal chauffeur.

"That's good. I wouldn't want you getting exhausted. Joseph would be heartbroken," Hillary teased.

The three of them settled into the hotel restaurant. In all their previous meetings, Joseph had always been right by her side. This was the first time she was facing her biological family completely alone.

Initially, the atmosphere was a little stiff. But then Joseph called, and she excused herself to answer it.
