Chapter 341 Can't Leave Even If You Want To
Tristan followed closely behind, his handsome face radiating anger, and his narrow eyes fixed on Emory.
That look, as if Emory had done something outrageous.
Katniss couldn't protect Emory, and he quickly ran out of the courtyard again.
But Tristan didn't chase after him; he turned back. Katniss followed him inside and saw Tristan carefully and stubbornly wiping Evie's little face with baby wipes.
Her tender skin turned red after he gently wiped it twice.
"Emory probably guessed that Tristan had already reunited with Evie. Just after you left, he barged in and tried to take Evie away, but I stopped him."
However, Aaron couldn't drive Emory away, so he stayed there.
Tristan came back at just the right moment, or maybe it was intentional on Emory's part, and he kissed Evie's face hard right in front of him!
Katniss's mouth twitched, as if she saw Tristan's heart shatter into pieces.
"Actually, you don't need to be so angry." She had to comfort Tristan a bit, really afraid that Emory would make him sick with anger.
So she said, "He probably hasn't kissed Evie for the first time."
Tristan's body stiffened.
"The point is, you can't stop it now, and you can't stop it in the future." Katniss thought, Evie would get married sooner or later.
Aaron took a deep breath, "Katniss, you're not comforting him, you're punishing him!"
They had only reunited as father and daughter for a couple of days, and she not only told him that he wasn't the first to kiss Evie.
She also told him that in the future, there would be other men who would replace him and have a better relationship with Evie.
Tristan's face turned serious, he threw the wipe into the trash can, picked up Evie, and went upstairs.
That back, made Katniss see how he would give Evie's boyfriend the cold shoulder in the future.
Perhaps Tristan's heart was broken, he seemed silent and withdrawn all night.
When it was time to sleep, he was the first to take the spot next to Evie's crib.
With him sleeping there, Katniss had quite a few benefits; she didn't have to worry about feeding at night, and she wasn't even woken up by the noise.
The long night was quiet, with only the light breathing of the family of three, and the bright moonlight shining on the bed, making it particularly warm.
In the middle of the night, Tristan's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, he glanced at the sleeping Katniss, and quietly got up and left.
At two in the morning, Emory was woken up by a phone call, and he didn't dare complain, slowly making his way over.
"Tristan, do you need something?"
Tristan didn't even let him in, leaning against the pillar at the door, looking down at him.
"Go do something for me."
Emory's eyes rolled, and he said without hesitation, "Then I request to see Evie once."
"Otherwise, I'll revoke your Godfather status as her biological father." Tristan countered.
Standing two steps below, Emory was at a disadvantage, instantly feeling choked, he grinned, "Your command, please."
"Prepare a share transfer contract and apply to change the legal representative of Zenith Group."
Tristan's thin lips parted slightly, giving orders.
Emory was stunned for a few seconds and blurted out, "I'm not the right person for this, and Zenith Group is your painstaking creation, how can I..."
His words were cut off by Tristan's mocking gaze.
Who said it was for him?
Realizing this, his face changed, and without asking more, he directly responded, "OK, but as agreed, the profits from Zenith Group will be invested by me, and the earnings will be mine."
"What I promised you won't be less." Tristan lazily leaned against the pillar, the light from the streetlamp reflected in his eyes.
Emory looked up at him and asked, "Tristan, aren't you sleepy in the middle of the night? Can't this wait until tomorrow?"
He was very sleepy, having been thinking about Evie these past few days, unable to see her, and suffering from insomnia.
Tonight's kiss could let him sleep well for several days.
"Not sleepy, watching over Evie every day, full of energy." Tristan raised an eyebrow, countering the mental blow Emory had given him a few days ago.
Emory really wanted to turn and leave, but he didn't dare, as Tristan had grasped his fatal weakness, "Tristan, you should actually thank me. If it weren't for me, could you have held Evie the moment she was born? If it weren't for me, could you have named Evie?"
"Named her?" Tristan sneered, Evie's name wasn't given by him?
Thanks to his daughter being obedient, cute, beautiful, and smart, she could carry any name.
"Sylvia!" Emory exclaimed, seeing his expression, "You don't know, Evie is her nickname, her full name is Sylvia, right?"
Leaning against the pillar, Tristan's body stiffened, his hand in his pocket instantly pulled out, he took a step forward and asked in a deep voice, "What did you say?"
He had forgotten that when Emory named his goddaughter, he had specifically asked him.
He had said Sylvia, but he didn't expect it to be chosen?
"Katniss didn't tell you? I suggested so many names, and she didn't choose any, but she chose your Sylvia. She... I haven't finished speaking!"
Seeing Tristan hurriedly rush into the villa, mercilessly closing the bedroom door, Emory stood outside in a daze.
Katniss was sleeping soundly, woken up by Tristan's kiss.
She instinctively reached out to his chest, her bright eyes opened a slit, seeing the joy in his eyes.
She was half helpless and half speechless.
Could it be that in the middle of the night, he got excited again about Evie being his daughter and went crazy?
"Katniss, I named Evie, Sylvia." He released her, his face beaming with pride and joy.
The sleepiness in Katniss's clear eyes gradually dissipated. She had really forgotten to tell Tristan that Evie's full name was Sylvia.
Because for so long, everyone called her Evie, even she, as the mother, had forgotten.
"You named her? Was it Emory who asked you to?"
Tristan's face lit up with joy as he held her tightly in his arms, "I was the first to hold her when she was born, and I named her too."
The months of missing companionship were somewhat compensated.
Katniss's hand rested on his strong waist, she was being held so tightly that she could hardly breathe, "That's good then, you named her, I gave her the surname, you don't think it's unfair anymore, right?"
She clearly sensed the man in her arms stiffen, and his grip on her loosened for a moment.
He let go of her, looking at her for a while before saying, "No, as long as you're happy."
Katniss felt something was off with his words, didn't he say... she would regret it?
She turned over, pulled the quilt, and went back to sleep, "I have a busy day at work tomorrow, let's sleep first."
"Is White Corporation still not stable?" Tristan finally started to show concern for her work.
She answered sleepily, "Since Beau went to prison, those people have been much more honest. It will gradually stabilize in the future. Benjamin wants to acquire an entertainment club in the suburbs, I have to do some preparatory work."
"Is it the Dobbins family entertainment club?" Tristan watched business news every day, and he kept track of all the business changes in Velvet City.
Katniss mumbled a response.
The next morning, when she woke up, Tristan was already downstairs holding the awake Evie.
After washing up and going downstairs, she saw Ryan in the living room, his eyes fixed on Evie.
He was so happy and surprised.
"Ms. Grey!" Ryan greeted her quickly as she came down, "Your daughter looks so much like you!"
Katniss nodded and smiled at him, "Really? Many people say that."
"Give her the documents, and you can leave." Tristan lay on Evie's crawling mat, circling her small body, and casually instructed Ryan.
Ryan quickly picked up the documents on the table and handed them to Katniss, "These are all the details of the Dobbins family entertainment club. I did a thorough evaluation and investigation. Also, there's news that Synergy Global Corporation, after restarting, also wants to enter the entertainment venue market. Travis has his eyes on the Dobbins family club too."
In other words, the acquisition would take some effort.
Katniss took the documents from Ryan, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Ryan quickly waved his hands and explained, "Mr. Forbes said that from now on, I should follow you. If you have anything you need me to do, I will get it done as quickly as possible."
This was not Ryan boasting; he really had that capability.
Katniss looked at Tristan in surprise, then at Ryan, "He's following me?"
"Yes." Tristan responded, sitting up and protecting Evie with one hand while explaining, "White Corporation is busy, and without a reliable person to help, it would be very tiring. Zenith Group doesn't need him for now."
Ryan quickly nodded and said to Katniss, "Don't worry, I won't leak any of White Corporation's secrets, and in the future, Zenith Group will also be yours..."
"You can leave now." Tristan interrupted him, too much talking.
After a few seconds of silence, Ryan retorted, "Didn't you say I should follow Ms. Grey and listen to her?"
So, why should he listen to Tristan?
Tristan's face suddenly turned ugly, he stood up holding Evie, and stared at Ryan for a couple of seconds. Evie whimpered in his arms.
He immediately backed down but still warned Ryan harshly, "Say less of what shouldn't be said!"
Ryan was stunned for a few seconds, his gaze shifting between Katniss and Tristan, seemingly understanding, he almost revealed a secret prematurely.
He decided to say nothing more, respectfully smiling at Katniss, "Is there anything else you need?"
"Help me arrange a meeting with Warren Dobbins, that's all for now." Katniss didn't hold back, having Ryan's help would indeed save her a lot of trouble.
Ryan quickly agreed and went to handle it.
The meeting was scheduled for that evening at a high-end entertainment club. Being in this line of work, Warren particularly liked such venues.
Katniss only found out upon arrival that Warren had not only invited her but also several others interested in the acquisition.
Among them was Eudora.
Ryan didn't know Warren had invited so many people, "Ms. Grey, should we leave and arrange another meeting?"
"No need, since we're here, there's no reason to leave." Katniss figured it would be hard to leave anyway, as Eudora had already seen her and was walking over.
