Chapter: 841
He enveloped her in his arms and kissed Bethany on the Lips.
“As long as you're there, the type of bed doesn't matter to me.”
"Jonathan, the kids are still here."
"It's beneficial for them to see us in a loving relationship."
As Nola happily chewed her candy, her wide eyes showed she didn't grasp her parents’ conversation. Luckily, Rowan was more aware. He shot their carefree parents a serious look and took his sister by the hand.
“Let's go play. Leave them alone."
Nola and Rowan were buzzing with excitement today and didn't settle down to sleep until nearly midnight.
Once she was sure they were sound asleep, Bethany headed back to her room to shower and slip into her pajamas.
Jonathan had been immersed in work for a while, now intensely focused on his laptop screen.
Far from feeling overlooked, Bethany admired how Jonathan looked while engrossed in his work.
With his gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, he sported a slight frown as he listened intently to a report.
Occasionally, he'd adjust his glasses, looking so composed that Bethany felt a strong urge to kiss his nose.
Meanwhile, Bethany ran her own business.
Recently, a whirlwind of events had caused delays in many of her projects, yet no one from her company had reached out to her about these delays. She instinctively knew why.
It must be Brody stepping in to handle her responsibilities.
She logged into Bates Group's software effortlessly and was shocked to see that her title had been updated from assistant to director.
Even after moving from Goldwald Company to Bates Group, she knew she didn't qualify for a director's role.
Noticing her account was active, Jonathan looked up at her.
Caught off guard, Bethany asked, "How did you notice I was online?"
Even as a director, she shouldn't be able to interact directly with the CEO's account during a meeting. Surely he wasn't tracking who logged in company-wide, was he?
Jonathan smiled and turned his laptop screen towards her.
A notification on his screen alerted him to the fact to the fact that Bethany, the project director of Bates Group, had logged in.
Bethany asked, “How is this possible?"
Sensing her confusion, Jonathan explained, “I had our son help me with the setup. Only you and I have it."
