Chapter 573 You're planning to have a baby
Listening to Sebastian's chill and smooth voice, Reese felt a leap of relief.
"Doesn't he get how serious this is? Does he think it's just a game?" Reese felt the need to set him straight. "This ain't a joke, man. Don't think it's just for kicks."
Sebastian shrugged it off. "I know, Reese, chill. Even if Nolan finds me, he won't have time to mess with me. He's probably too busy thinking about running."
Reese suggested, "Yeah, but still, be careful. Bounce outta there if things get sketchy."
Sebastian replied briskly, "Got it. I'm out. If I hear anything, I'll hit you up."
"Cool." After hanging up, Reese turned to Malcolm. "Babe, tell Rex to get some officers ready to nab him."
Reese said promptly, "I already talked to Rex. Don't worry."
Malcolm felt a bit bad for Reese being so swamped, but she looked like a boss, glowing with confidence and all.
No matter what, she always had her stuff together.
Reese gathered her thoughts. "Alright, let's roll."
Malcolm spoke up, "Hold up, you gotta eat breakfast first. I had Zoey and the crew prepared it just for you."
He wanted to make sure Reese was fueled up.
Reese wasn't big on breakfast, but she couldn't turn down Malcolm's sweet offer, especially since he had the staff up early for it.
She checked the time; they had a bit to spare, so it was cool. "Alright, let's eat before we head out."
Malcolm told the staff to bring up breakfast. When Reese saw the spread, she was floored.
This breakfast was just over the top.
She looked at Malcolm, shocked. "Why'd you have them make so much?"
Malcolm said, "You've been grinding too hard. I wanted you to eat well."
His plan was to get Reese to put on a few pounds.
Reese looked at the table full of food. "Even if I wanted to, I can't eat all this."
"Just pick what you like." Malcolm pulled Reese to sit and handed her the utensils.
Reese didn't want to let Malcolm's kindness go to waste. No one had ever gone this far for her before.
Malcolm was probably worried she'd be stressed and wanted to use food to chill her out.
When Alyssa came downstairs and saw the table full of dishes, her eyes nearly popped out.
She rushed over. "Is today special or something? Why's there so much food?"
Zoey quickly explained, "Mr. Flynn had us make it 'cause Mrs. Flynn's been working too hard lately."
Alyssa looked at Reese with envy. "Reese, you're so lucky. If I found a guy as good as Malcolm, I'd marry him in a heartbeat."
"There are guys like that, but it's up to you if you're down." Reese said this to nudge Alyssa that it was time to start dating.
Malcolm had been swamped lately and hadn't had time to look after his sister. And this seemed to be the right moment for him to show a bit of his concern for his sister. So he asked, "You seem to be living at your studio, coming and going at all hours. Do you even sleep there?"
Alyssa scratched her head, looking a bit sheepish. "Nah, it's just that we've got a ton of projects lately. My streamers are leveling up with my help. I wanna lead them into the esports scene and turn them into pros."
Malcolm frowned, and Reese was surprised to hear Alyssa's huge ambitions.
Reese didn't wanna rain on Alyssa's parade, but Malcolm might not be so gentle.
He walked over and gave Alyssa's shoulder a serious pat. "Alyssa, there's something you gotta know. Dreams are great, but you need to tell the difference between dreams and pipe dreams."
"Malcolm... how can you say that to me!" Alyssa almost jumped up, ready to smack him.
How could he talk to his own sister like that?
Malcolm then put on his serious face and spoke to Alyssa earnestly. "I get that you wanna break into esports, but you need to check your skills. You haven't even reached Reese's level yet, and you wanna go pro?"
Plus, it was a long, tough road. If she threw all her energy into her career, she'd have even less time for relationships.
If Aiden found out, he'd blame Malcolm for letting her go down this path.
Alyssa was super confident. She eagerly threw her arms around Reese's shoulder and turned to Malcolm, "So what? Don't you see I have a top strategist?"
Malcolm said seriously, "Don't drag Reese into this. Reese and I are planning to have a baby after this period. She won't have time to help you."
Alyssa couldn't help but shout. "You're planning to have a baby!"
To her, this was awesome news. It meant a new family member, and she could teach the kid to game when they grew up. That would be epic.
Reese looked at Malcolm in shock after hearing this. "When did I..."
"Honey, eat up. Eating more is good for getting ready for a baby." Malcolm fed her a peeled shrimp, cutting her off before she could say more.
Reese shot Malcolm a side-eye, and Malcolm gently patted her back. They both got the message.
After breakfast, Malcolm and Reese left the house to meet Calvin.
Calvin was already waiting in the car, his computer open on his lap, tracking Sebastian's moves in real-time to avoid any slip-ups.
When Reese got in the car, Calvin greeted her, "Reese, Sebastian's already on the move with his team, but we can only watch for now. Where Sofia goes might not be where Nolan is."
Reese nodded in agreement. "Nolan's always been careful and wouldn't slip up. In this situation, he'll be extra cautious."
Calvin said approvingly, "So I also think Sofia won't find Nolan that quickly."
