Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1299

Laney was swayed. "But I still need more time. After all, with Anya..."

Teresa, noticing Laney's concern, interrupted with a reassuring smile, "Don't worry. I won't expect you to work now. You can return to the workplace after your maternity leave."

Touched by Teresa's thoughtfulness, Laney nodded. "Thank you, Teresa."

Teresa smiled warmly. "You're welcome. As long as you're willing to help me, we can work things out. It's not easy to find a female bodyguard as skilled as you, so I can't just let you go."

Flattered, Laney replied, "I'll do my best. I won't let you down."

Seeing Laney's agreement, Teresa breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

Glancing at her watch, she realized it was time for work. After bidding Laney farewell, she stood up and left.

Recalling their dwindling supply of daily necessities, Laney decided to go shopping with Ian and Anya.

At the supermarket, Ian expertly selected baby supplies while Laney pushed the stroller.

"These diapers are soft and fit well, perfect for the baby," Ian remarked, tossing a pack into their shopping basket.

Laney held up another bag of diapers, teasing, "What about these?"

Ian examined the pack, shook his head, and replied, "Although the quality is good, they're too thick. Anya overheats easily, so they'd likely cause a heat

rash."

Surprised, Laney raised an eyebrow. "How do you know so much about diapers?"

Ian grinned, "As a competent assistant, choosing the most suitable products for you and Anya is a basic professional skill."

Laney nodded, thoroughly impressed.
