Chapter 661 Changing the Subject
Juniper ran off, and Ethan pressed his fingers hard against his brow before quickly pulling out his phone to call his assistant.
Juniper had a tendency to throw tantrums, but he hoped she wouldn't take it out on Violet.
After all, if she could find out that he and their dad were here, she could probably find out about Violet, too.
The call connected quickly.
Ethan narrowed his eyes and said to his assistant on the other end, "Make sure Juniper gets to my hotel. Don't let her go out alone."
The assistant promptly responded, "Got it, Mr. Lawson."
Ethan hung up, looking heavily and helplessly at the hospital entrance.
This situation was going to take some time for Juniper and their mom to accept.
After storming out of the hospital, Juniper stomped her feet in frustration but didn't waste any time. She called her informant to find out who this so-called sister really was.
After making the call, Juniper hailed a cab back to the Platinum Haven Hotel.
However, halfway there, her strong sense of caution kicked in, and she had the taxi driver take her to a different hotel instead.
Luckily, she had her ID and passport with her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to check into a new hotel.
As for the suitcase she left at the Platinum Haven Hotel, she'd retrieve it later.
Juniper switched hotels, and Ethan's people couldn't catch her, so they had to keep searching.
Meanwhile, Violet had no idea Juniper was investigating her.
The next morning, Violet got up early to make breakfast for her two kids. She had just finished pouring milk into glasses when Brady walked out of the home gym, shirtless.
His toned body glistened with a light sheen of post-workout sweat, looking both sexy and confident.
Violet, after pouring the milk, caught a glimpse of his muscular physique and eight-pack abs, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Why aren't you wearing a shirt? What if Hellen and the kids see you?"
Brady approached her, a slight smile on his lips, his voice clear and magnetic. "They won't be up for a while."
"So, you're doing this on purpose?" Violet's face turned even redder.
"Yep," Brady said as he pulled her into his arms, lifting her onto the kitchen counter.
He gently placed his hand on her slightly rounded belly, massaging it softly.
His touch was tender and restrained.
It made Violet feel a bit ticklish.
She couldn't help but laugh, "Brady, stop, it tickles."
"I wasn't even pressing hard. How does it tickle?" Brady teased.
Violet's face turned even redder. What a tease.
"I just made some milk. Do you want some?" She quickly tried to change the subject, handing him a glass of milk.
Brady, knowing she was embarrassed, accepted the milk with a smile.
But instead of drinking it, he took a sip and then pressed his lips to hers, sharing the milk with her.
He kissed her slowly, teasing her with each gentle, lingering touch as the sweetness passed between them.
Violet's heart raced, making it hard to catch her breath.
It wasn't just his teasing that affected her—it was how skillfully he did it. She felt herself losing control.
Flushed and breathless, she finally pulled away from his kiss. "Go put some clothes on," she said, her voice uneven. "Hellen and the kids will be up any minute."
She knew if he stayed like this much longer, she wouldn't be able to resist him.
Brady wasn't in a hurry. He wiped a bit of milk from her lips and suddenly asked, "What about James? What are you planning?"
"I've noticed you've been visiting him a lot lately." Brady always respected her choices, but seeing her frequent hospital visits, he was curious about her thoughts.
"He wants to do a paternity test and is offering me 20% of Lawson Corporation's shares." Violet didn't hide anything from him, sighing. "I told him I'd think about it."
"Alright, whatever you decide, I'll support you." Brady nodded gently.
However, he was more concerned about the shares.
Because this wasn't necessarily a good thing for Violet.
Lawson Corporation was a globally renowned family business, and giving Violet 20% out of the blue would definitely stir up some resentment.
He didn't want anyone to harm his wife.
But seeing her expression, he guessed she was considering reconnecting with her family.
Brady didn't want to interfere too much, but he knew they'd have to be extra cautious in the future.
Lawson Corporation was a hot potato, no doubt about it.
