Chapter 383 Supervise Dad Well!
"I'm serious. I really had nightmares last night."
"I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, go lie down in that room and try it for yourself. The negative energy is strong. I'm worried about your and the children's safety. You should all move back with me."
Antonio swore to God that he wasn't lying about having nightmares.
Sarah said, "Alright. If I have a nightmare, I'll move back with you right away. But if I don't, you have to move immediately."
Brian quickly stopped Sarah. "Mommy, he's being childish. Why are you also being childish?"
Antonio had indeed had nightmares, and Brian knew it perfectly well because he controlled the mattress!
It was a high-tech mattress developed by his company that could interfere with people's dreams.
Originally, he bought this mattress for Sarah, just in case she had trouble sleeping and needed some help to fall asleep.
If the mattress could make people have sweet dreams, then it could naturally also make them have nightmares.
Antonio had tried it out first last night.
After all, a patient wouldn't obediently return home if they didn't get a good rest.
As a result, Antonio claimed that there was negative energy in the room because of this incident.
What era was it now? Didn't they know that they weren't allowed to be superstitious in this time and age
However, Sarah certainly couldn't sleep on that mattress now—it would undoubtedly give her nightmares. The adjustments needed to be made directly on the mattress itself since they couldn't control it with a computer, and there was no time for shortcuts.
Naturally, Antonio didn't dare to take any chances. "How could there be nightmares in broad daylight? Forget it, I can't bear the thought of you having nightmares either."
Sarah snorted coldly. She hadn't even considered trying it out—it was too ridiculous!
After a while, Antonio tentatively suggested, "Sarah, should we find a priest? This house is definitely abnormal."
Sarah lost all patience. "Either you move out or shut your mouth. You choose."
Antonio immediately fell silent but wasn't planning to give up just like that.
"Fine, fine, I won't mention it anymore. However, Sarah, shouldn't we go to work now?" Antonio pointed to his watch. It was almost time for work.
Only then did Sarah remember that her leave had ended. It seemed only right for her to return to work, both in terms of her emotions and rationale. After all, they were merely experiencing a conflict—they couldn't neglect their work responsibilities.
Work was work, and Antonio was Antonio.
"I understand." Sarah tidied up the dining table and went to change her clothes in her room.
When she came out again, Antonio was already waiting at the front door. "Let's go, we'll go to work together."
Sarah remained unmoved. "I have my own car."
Antonio felt helpless. "Sarah, it's on the way. Why do we have to take two cars?"
"Why should I ride in the same car with you?"
"Because... to save energy and reduce emissions?"
"Then you can't come back tonight."
Antonio deflated immediately. "Drive safely, see you at the office."
He knew that he couldn't rush the matter of coaxing his wife to come home; he had to take it step by step.
Sarah picked up the car keys and left first.
Harper came up to console Antonio, "Daddy, you should go to work now and do a good job so Mommy can be happy, okay?"
Antonio squatted down, reached out, and patted Harper's hair. "I understand. Thank you for caring, darling."
After a pause, Antonio continued, "My darlings, Daddy has one more thing to ask you. Can you help Daddy out this time?"
Harper nodded. "What does Daddy want us to do?"
"Daddy wants you to be little detectives. If any man other than me comes here, take a photo of them and inform me immediately, alright?"
Harper was puzzled, wondering why Antonio wanted them to do this.
Meanwhile, Brian grasped the situation well. He gave Antonio a cold look and sneered. "Take photos for you? With so many men visiting our house daily, how many photos do you need?"
Antonio, previously joyful, suddenly froze. He gazed incredulously at "Ethan" and sighed, realizing "Ethan" was holding him responsible.
It was no surprise that "Ethan" had always been close to Sarah. Now, seeing her treated unfairly, it was only natural for "Ethan" to defend her.
Antonio helplessly rubbed "Ethan's" head, his expression tinged with desolation.
Brian coldly turned his head away and went back to his room.
Antonio didn't say anything more and said goodbye to Harper and Ryan, heading to the company.
There were no paparazzi outside Valencia Inc.'s entrance anymore; Antonio had already taken care of that issue.
Taking advantage of his car accident, he released a series of press releases about Sarah taking care of him in the hospital, aiming to prove that their marriage was still intact.
Amidst the endless flood of internet news, their story, lacking further evidence, quickly lost its momentum.
Feeling much more relaxed, Sarah focused on tackling the backlog of work on her desk.
Despite Antonio's attempts to engage in meaningful conversation with Sarah, he never received a response.
During meetings, his gaze would frequently drift toward Sarah, sparking whispers throughout the entire company...
…
Back in his office, Antonio thought for a moment and called James.
"James, order steaks for everyone in the company for lunch, plus a bunch of baby's breath flowers. Say it's a company benefit."
