Chapter 577: Chapter 576: Knowing about the Pregnancy
Elijah Butler casually said, “I just went out, and my phone’s dead!”
“Where’s Cherish? Did she go ho? I’ll go find her!” Yannis Griffith was about to leave, but was held back by Elijah Butler. She looked up at him and said softly, “She went out to take a break, she’s not at ho! So, don’t go looking for her!”
“Taking a break? Alone? Where did she go?” Yannis Griffith asked again.
“She…” Elijah Butler hesitated, recalling Cherish Turner’s plea: Butler, don’t tell anyone I’m pregnant, or where I am now, and especially don’t tell Senior Yannis. I don’t want to see them anymore, I just want to be alone.
Yannis Griffith’s persistent gaze made Elijah Butler sowhat annoyed. She deliberately avoided his gaze and said with a smile, “She’s gone to stay with so relatives for a bit, wanting so peace. She’ll return in a few days.”
“Could you tell
where her relatives live?” Yannis Griffith persisted.
“It’s not convenient, let her have her peace, she needs it.” Elijah Butler shook her head, catching sight of his hopeful expression transforming into disappointnt. Rembering Cherish Turner’s plea that day, Yannis Griffith decided to give her so space. He solemnly said, “Then I’ll wait, let
know when she’s back! Tell her for , whatever she wants, I can provide!”
Elijah Butler was silent for a mont, then finally said, “Okay, I got it!”
Still faintly smiling, she watched as Yannis Griffith turned to leave. Other than a sigh, she had no other response. Elijah Butler retracted her gaze, went into her office, and made a phone call. She dialed a landline number, not a mobile number. The phone rang a few tis before being answered, “Hello?”
“Auntie, let Cherish pick up.”
“So it’s Butler, hold on a mont.” The auntie imdiately shouted for soone. After Cherish picked up, Elijah Butler said, “Cherish, Senior Yannis is back. I didn’t tell him where you are, I only told him that you’re staying with relatives for a bit. But he had a ssage for you.”
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Elijah Butler said solemnly, “He said, whatever you want, he can provide.”
…
It was only on his fourth day back in the coastal city that Yannis Griffith saw William Griffith.
It seed that he had also been abroad and had just returned today.
Yannis Griffith pushed open the office door and walked in. He sat down in front of William and said, “The board said earlier that they’re interested in expanding Griffith into a group, what do you think?”
“That’s a good thing, I have no objections.”
William Griffith said indifferently.
“I just ca back from Canada, a company there wants to cooperate with us. I think the prospect looks good, and there’s a lot of potential for profit. Here’s the cooperation contract from that company, you can take a look first.” Yannis Griffith said, while handing him the docunt. William Griffith didn’t take the docunt and said solemnly, “Overseas matters have always been your responsibility.”
“The investnt in this cooperation is quite large, you should take a look.” Yannis Griffith said.
William Griffith lit a cigarette, “I trust you.”
Yannis Griffith stared at William Griffith, his hand clutching the docunt, but for a mont he was at a loss. Decades had rushed by in the blink of an eye, sotis feeling too fast, while sotis realizing only after decades have passed that you never truly knew soone, “Then I’ll leave now.”
“Beep beep beep——”
William Griffith answered the phone. His subordinate reported, “Young Master Griffith, Miss Turner’s whereabouts are currently unknown, but we can confirm that she has not left the coastal city. Furthermore, Miss Turner has been to the hospital, and the doctor confird that she is pregnant.”
