Chapter 95 No 'ifs'
After returning from Tedia, Liam didn't allow Vivian to do anything else. He completely forbade her from going to the lab, fearing that the chemicals inside might harm the child in her belly. He was extremely cautious and accommodating towards her.
Meanwhile, Rosen temporarily parted ways with them, but before leaving, he rewarded her with two perfume formulas that he had recently developed.
Initially skeptical, Vivian handed the formulas to Liam. After the perfume was prepared and its effects turned out to be surprisingly good, she finally relaxed, feeling that her efforts were not in vain.
However, what Rosen provided was far from enough. She desired more.
Whenever she thought of him, she couldn't help but shudder at his excessive energy. It might be better to take a break for a while, at least until her body recovered. This would be a good time to think about it carefully. If she continued passively like this without getting what she wanted, she might end up exhausted before achieving her goals.
"What are you thinking about?" Liam asked softly as he brought over a glass of milk, showing extreme care towards her.
Taking the milk, she smiled, "Nothing. I was thinking that with this new product, we might make it to the annual perfume competition by the end of the year If we time it right, even winning a third prize could benefit the company."
"You're on the same page as me," Liam said, tapping her nose, "I'm already working on this. The deadline for the application for the annual perfume competition is at the end of next month, so we need to launch it quickly. If we can create a sensation, it will be even better. I've tested it, and I think it's good. It should work out."
"That's great. Hopefully, we can recover the losses the company faced earlier. This way, your pressure can also be reduced a bit," she said, relieved.
Seeing her endure her current pregnancy and severe physical discomfort, yet still putting him and the company first, Liam was profoundly touched. "Vivian, your selflessness towards me is truly beyond measure."
"Silly, we've been together for so long, and you've always treated me well. It's only natural that I reciprocate. Besides, this company is also partly mine!" Her gentle demeanor was always the most touching.
Liam nodded repeatedly. "Yes! The company is mine, but it's also yours, and it will be our child's in the future! Vivian, I'm really glad I chose you back then. If it were Evelyn, she would have been..."
Thinking of Evelyn's ruthless nature, he felt uncomfortable.
After all these years together, he hadn't realized she had such a dishonest side. She tampered with the formula in advance, even when he was trying to reconcile with her. She thought she could do without him. Soon, he would make her regret it!
"Don't mention her!" Vivian frowned and turned away. "Disgusting!"
"Yes, disgusting! Let's not talk about her. Finish your milk quickly. I have good news to tell you."
"What good news?" She finished the milk in one go, feeling much better in her stomach and body. Liam adjusted her pillow, and she lay down comfortably under the covers.
"I mentioned before about planning to get married," he paused, and said, "I've already talked to my mom about it, and she wants to meet you."
"Your mom?" Vivian blinked. "Ms. Mitchell?"
"Yes," he nodded and replied, "Once you meet her, we can start preparing for the wedding. You don't want to be in a wedding dress with a big belly, right?"
"That's true." she hesitated without much joy on her face.
She didn't intend to break up with Liam, but it didn't mean she was ready to get married now.
If she were to marry and have children, she would have less time for work. However, considering Liam's current capabilities and the current scale of Liavian Perfumes, it did not yet meet the expectations in her mind. If she were to have a child at this time, where would she found the energy to strive for her fame and position, and how could she earn more wealth?
"Aren't you happy?" Liam thought she would be thrilled to hear the news and would hug and kiss him, but she remained so calm as if she wasn't happy at all.
"Not really," she tentatively asked, "Have you told your mom about my pregnancy?"
"Not yet, I wish to surprise her. What's the matter?"
Vivian sighed in relief. "Nothing. I just wanted to say let's not rush things. After all, it's not even three months yet. I asked around, and they all said the first three months are the most unstable. In case something unexpected happens, and the child..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Liam immediately interrupted her, looking displeased. "This is our child, and he will be healthy and fine! Don't overthink. Right now, you don't need to do anything except rest and nurture the pregnancy. Although my mom hasn't said it, I know she's actually looking forward to having a grandchild. After all, she only had one daughter after marrying over, and I'm her only son. If she finds out you're pregnant, she'll be very happy."
"Don't be so nervous. I just said 'if...'" Vivian continued.
"Even 'if' is not acceptable! There's no room for such 'ifs' in this situation!" He decisively dismissed her thoughts, holding her shoulders firmly and looking into her eyes. "Vivian, don't dwell on those messy thoughts or listen to others' nonsense. You will be fine. The child will be fine. I won't allow anything to happen to you or the child, understand?"
Vivian remained silent.
She slowly nodded, her expression becoming more serious.
Deep down, she had considered getting rid of the child, but she hadn't made a final decision yet. This was just a test for him. She didn't expect his reaction to be so intense. If something did happen to the child, she couldn't bear to think about how he would react...
However, this child was indeed quite resilient. Despite her messing around with Rosen a few days ago, her child was unharmed, which was quite miraculous.
Initially hesitant, Liam's words only heightened her uncertainty. She decided to put aside the idea of aborting the child for now.
After soothing her to sleep, Liam quietly left the room and made a phone call. "Mom."
On the other end of the line, a pleasant female voice sounded. "Liam."
"I'm bringing Vivian to see you tomorrow at the usual place. I'll come first, so you don't have to rush. We'll wait for you."
"I've told you, I don't want to see her," there was a moment of silence before she said, "She's not worthy of you."
Gripping the phone, Liam glanced back at the closed door. Seeing no one coming out, he spoke softly, "Mom, you promised me to meet her just once, and you will like her."
