“What’s there to be nervous about?” Caspian looked calm. “Engagement is just a ceremony, so I’m not nervous at all. If it’s a wedding, maybe I’ll be a little nervous.”
“Are you really not nervous at all?”
Larry found it hard to believe. This guy often spends a long time thinking about something, but why would he not be nervous when he’s about to get engaged?
“Not at all.”
Caspian still had a nonchalant expression on his face.
“Oh, Nancy, why are you here?” Larry greeted with a smile as he looked past Caspian.
“Nancy’s here!”
Hearing Larry’s words, Caspian nearly spilled his tea. Yet, when he saw the evil smile on Larry’s face, he immediately knew that the latter was pulling a trick on him and quickly recomposed himself.
“So what if Nancy’s here? I’m not afraid of her. Besides, like I said, I’m not nervous about the engagement at all!” Caspian repeated himself as if to cover up his earlier panic.
“Wow, such bravado.”
A woman’s voice was heard, leaving Caspian stunned. “I don’t mind that you’re not afraid of me as I’m not scary after all. As for your claim that you’re not nervous, I beg to differ. You were actually so nervous that you couldn’t even sleep last night, weren’t you?”
Nancy slowly walked into the study.
Seeing her, Caspian felt his legs turn jelly.
“Nancy, why are you here? I was just joking with Boss. Hehe. Hehe.”
Caspian went up to her while simpering. “Come on, Nancy, have a seat. Are you tired? Take a seat. I’ll give you a massage.”
Caspian’s behavior made Larry see him in a different light as Larry had never thought that the former had such a side to him.
After a while, he came to his senses and teased, “So, Caspian, it turns out that you were just bragging. I thought you were so tough!”
“Boss, what else did Caspian say?” Nancy asked Larry curiously after giving Caspian a glare.
“Oh, Boss, please don’t talk anymore! I’m begging you! You’ve got me good!”
Caspian kept winking at Larry, but the latter did not bother him and smirked smugly.
Embarrassing Caspian gave him great pleasure.
Ignoring Caspian, Nancy said, “Boss, we still need to make some preparations for tomorrow, so we can’t stay any longer. I’ve told Joan as well. We shall get going.”
“Alright, then. Joan and I will rush over tomorrow morning.”
Larry nodded in agreement.
After Caspian and Nancy left, he returned to his bedroom and saw Joan stroking her bump like a mother would while muttering something with a smiling face.
The sight brought a smile to Larry’s face as he walked up to her quietly and asked, “Are you talking to our baby again?”
Ever since her belly got bigger, Joan often talked to the baby as though he could hear her.
“Yes, I am,” she replied sweetly.
Her adorable face filled Larry’s heart with love.
Larry then gently put his head on her belly and felt the warmth from Joan and his baby. Gradually, his restlessness vanished.
“Look, the baby’s moving. He’s saying hello to you!” Joan hurriedly told Larry after feeling a movement in her belly.
“That’s right. I saw it too. He’s quite a frisky kid, isn’t he? He can’t even stay still in his mommy’s belly.”
Larry chuckled. His heart was brimming over with happiness as he imagined the life ahead with his wife and son.
“Larry, have you decided on the baby’s name?” asked Joan softly while lying in his arms.
“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. Let’s name him Leslie Norton. What do you think about it?” Larry told her the name he had in mind after thinking for a while.
