Chapter 702 Won Ten Thousand Dollars
Sure enough, after Matthew left, Donovan started to argue with Chloe.
"You didn't tell me about introducing Jeffery to a job?" He glanced sideways at Chloe.
"I just found him a position at Ann's firm, it's not even certain yet. Besides, you're always so busy, I didn't want to bother you," Chloe said somewhat pleadingly. "We see each other every night, I could have told you then, right?"
Donovan turned his head and said, "I hope that's what you were thinking."
Even so, that night, Donovan was quite harsh with Chloe, as if punishing her for not informing him. Moreover, Donovan really wanted a second child, but up until now, Chloe still wasn't pregnant, and their life had become quite mundane.
"What if I can't have a second child?" Chloe panted, speaking to Donovan, who was on top of her.
"If you can't, then we'll just keep trying!" Donovan said.
In Maya's room, she couldn't sleep.
What happened to Jeffery? She had just looked up the exact location of the Celestial Peak Building. His unit was quite far from Maple Valley, so he shouldn't have been at the Celestial Peak Building.
A mother's intuition kept Maya awake. She wanted to go check on him tomorrow, but she needed to ask Donovan for a day off in advance.
While Donovan and Chloe were making love upstairs, Maya gently knocked on Donovan's bedroom door.
"Who is it?" Clearly, Donovan was annoyed at being disturbed; his voice was displeased.
"Mr. Blake, it's me. My husband is sick, and I want to go home to see him tomorrow. Can I take a day off?" Maya said, her voice trembling.
For the first time in so many years, she had made the move to knock on Donovan's door in the middle of the night.
Donovan, lying on top of Chloe, thought for a moment and realized what was happening. Maya must have heard something today and wanted to check on Jeffery. Donovan knew that Maya would find out sooner or later, so it saved him the trouble of telling her. If she really wanted to see her husband, she would have mentioned it in the morning. Maya was a very considerate person.
"Alright. Do you need some money?" Donovan asked.
"No, no, thank you, Mr. Blake," Maya said and went downstairs.
"Where is Maya going? Why is she asking for leave in the middle of the night? Her husband's illness can't be that serious, can it?" Chloe was anxious and found it strange. Maya had never come at night before.
"Why are you so concerned about someone else's husband and not your own?" Donovan said.
With that, they continued, and Donovan swallowed all of Chloe's nonsense.
Early the next morning, Maya was waiting in front of the Celestial Peak Building. She was very uneasy, afraid of seeing Jeffery, but also afraid of not seeing him. If she saw Jeffery, it would mean he had really left the unit.
Chloe and Donovan were having breakfast.
Donovan transferred ten thousand dollars to Maya. Since she said her husband was sick, Donovan had to help her cover the lie. It would make things easier when they met.
Around 9:30, Jeffery appeared, dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase.
At that moment, Maya felt a bit choked up.
When Jeffery reached the Celestial Peak Building, he also saw Maya.
Both of them were stunned for a moment.
"Jeffery, what are you doing here? Why aren't you in the unit?" Maya asked, touching Jeffery's arm with both hands.
"Let's go upstairs and talk, Mom," Jeffery said, pulling Maya into Ann's office. He was the only one there.
