"Oh."
Even though his words were full of loopholes, I didn't want to expose him.
Getting down to the bottom wouldn't do any good to me.
Seeing that I didn't ask anything further, he asked me, "Didn't you say that you were going to do focus on the design competition with a friend of yours recently? Why did you meet her?"
"We've signed up for the design competition. The competition topics will only come out two days later. So I took the time and asked Designer Shirley to meet me outside to discuss my wedding dress." I looked down and said, "After all, I won't marry somebody else in this life. Regarding the wedding dress, after thorough deliberation, I think I'd better be more discreet about it."
The reason why I said so was to please Shelton.
Hearing what I said, Shelton seemed to be in a better mood.
That afternoon, he took me to Michael's place and discussed with Michael the case related to Gina and Jeremy. After all, there would be a trial in a few months.
As for this matter, I was determined about it.
No matter what the trial result would be, I wouldn't bother with it.
There was one day to go before the topic of the design competition would be revealed.
Moving my laptop and all the drawing tools to Nancy's office, I planned to have a big go at the design competition.
After everything was done, I made a cup of coffee.
As soon as I took a sip of the coffee, Nancy asked, "Janetta, we only have 30 days to work on the design. And we are on a tight schedule. If we can't ascertain the plan at one go and guarantee the completion of the works, we have to work overtime. What about your son?"
Speaking of this, I was stunned.
During this time, I naturally work during the day and accompany Glenn in the evening.
Nancy's words made me realize that my plan wouldn't work.
Without what had happened recently, I would have entrusted Glenn to Shelton. But now, I wasn't at ease.
Although he couldn't go so far as to harm Glenn...
Nancy suggested, "Why don't you place your son in my house? I have a nanny in my house. It makes no difference to her whether it is a child or two children."
"How can I do that?"
I smiled.
The main thing was that if I avoided Shelton and entrusted Glenn to Nancy...
Shelton would be suspicious.
This question did make me go out of my wits.
That evening, Shelton and I went to pick up Glenn together and went home. After dinner, Glenn fell asleep. And Shelton went to be on duty in the hospital, leaving me alone at home.
When I was struggling as to what to do, my cell phone rang.
It was a call from Ryan.
I picked up the call and heard him asked me, "Did you get any progress about your mother's matter?"
Only then did I remember that after I left the rehabilitation center, I had been so busy that I let this matter pass out of my mind.
I didn't even ask Shelton about this.
I told Ryan the truth.
Upon hearing this, Ryan didn't blame me, saying,
"Forget it. I'll go to your place tomorrow. Help me reprint Jessica's portrait in a reduced format. I'll ask the ones in our circle and see if anyone knows about this."
"Are you coming to me tomorrow?"
Hearing that Ryan would visit me tomorrow, I felt that I could solve all the problems I was facing now with ease!
Ryan, who didn't know my worries, asked with some displeasure instead, "What's wrong? Don't you welcome me?"
"Highly welcome!" I couldn't be more excited.
I told him that I would work hard on a design competition in recent days and that I wouldn't have time to take care of Glenn.
