“Nothing.” Christine White took a bite of rice and put it in her mouth.
She was just laughing at this feeling of eating with him in a big office, it was new and exciting.
Unlike eating in his office, where no one was allowed in without his permission and no one would find out about her relationship with him.
But this place was different, it was an office shared by many people, someone might break in at some point and see her eating with him, and then their relationship might come out.
Baird Lane see Christine White mysterious refused to say, although there are a few curiosity, but also did not force her intention, let go of the hand no longer ask, continue to eat their own meals.
After the meal, Baird Lane did as he had just said and helped her with the rest of the work.
His ability to work was far beyond hers, and by the time she was working on one file, he was working on the second and third.
So within a few moments, the one-finger-high papers were at the bottom of the pile.
Christine White stretched and looked at Baird Lane very gratefully, “Thank you, I don’t know how busy I would have been if it wasn’t for you.”
“Don’t be a fool and give substitutions in the future, they’ll be looking for you every time for a long time.” Baird Lane lectured as he poked her in the forehead.
Christine White scrunched her neck, “No, this substitution is to help Debby , she’s got something going on so I’m subbing for a bit, normally I wouldn’t sub for just anyone.”
“Good to know, go back.” Baird Lane lifted his lunchbox and headed for the door.
Christine White shut down her computer and hurried to follow.
Back at the villa, Aunt Lucy watched the two come in one after the other and smiled from ear to ear, “But you’re finally back, I thought you guys were going to spend the night out tonight.”
“Which it can.” Christine White smiled.
Baird Lane handed Aunt Lucy her lunchbox, “I’m going upstairs for a video conference, I’ll make a pot of tea and send it up later.”
“Yes sir.” Aunt Lucy answered.
Baird Lane is gone and Christine White is left in the parlor with Aunt Lucy.
Aunt Lucy put her lunchbox aside, “Ma’am, I saw that Hugh Dong this afternoon.”
“You saw it?” Christine White was slightly surprised.
She’d never seen Hugh Dong in the villa area yet, either before she’d moved out of the villa or after she’d moved back in.
Only once, when she had seen him near the station outside the villa area, was the time she was preparing to divorce Baird Lane and return home.
“Yeah, I went out to collect a delivery this afternoon and came back just in time to see him drive off.” Aunt Lucy nodded back.
Christine White mused for a few seconds, “So what do you think of him, could he be Baird’s brother?”
“This …” Aunt Lucy smiled a little embarrassed, “Honestly, I can’t tell, after all, he doesn’t look anything like Mr. at all.”
“It’s understandable that there’s no resemblance; after all, Baird says, Nigel Lane has had a facelift.”
“It’s plastic surgery yes, but this Hugh Dong, it doesn’t look like he’s had plastic surgery, even if the plastic surgery technology nowadays is better, it’s not possible to not be able to see any traces of plastic surgery at all, that’s why this is what I don’t dare to be sure about.” Aunt Lucy said with emotion.
Christine White poured herself a glass of water, “It’s okay, Baird said he’s had someone try to get Hugh Dong’s DNA, and as soon as they do, they’ll know if he’s Nigel Lane.”
“Getting DNA? That’s something I can help with.” Aunt Lucy spoke up.
Christine White subconsciously straightened her back, “You?”
“Yes, I know all those housekeepers in the villa area, and there’s a group between us, it just so happens that Hugh Dong’s housekeeper is also in the group, so I can start with his housekeeper.” Aunt Lucy said, then took out her cell phone and flipped out the group she just mentioned to Christine White.
Christine White looked for a few moments and realized that there were quite a lot of people inside, “What a surprise, Aunt Lucy your circle is quite big.”
“Mistress is flattered.” Aunt Lucy smiled shyly.
Christine White’s expression straightened up, “Aunt Lucy, are you really sure you can get Hugh Dong’s hair from Hugh Dong’s housekeeper?”
“Yes, leave it to me, nothing that can be done with money is difficult.” Aunt Lucy patted her chest in affirmation.
Christine White thought for a few seconds, “I have no way to make a decision on that, better talk to Baird and see what he thinks.”
“All right then, I’ll make some tea and you send it up, ma’am, and talk to Mr. in the meantime.”
“Good.”
Ten minutes later, Christine White arrived outside Baird Lane’s study door and reached out to knock.
Baird Lane opened the door and didn’t look the least bit surprised to see that it was her at the door, but instead very naturally took the tray out of her hands, “Come in.”
Christine White followed her in, “I have something I want to tell you.”
“Yes?” Baird Lane responded as he poured the tea.
Christine White found a chair and sat down, “I was just downstairs with Aunt Lucy …”
She told Aunt Lucy exactly what she had just discussed with her.
Baird Lane stopped sipping his tea as he listened, “Aunt Lucy she really said that?”
“Yes, and she promised.” Christine White nodded.
Baird Lane deliberated for a moment, “I know, let her do it.”
“You promise?” Christine White looked at him.
Baird Lane hmmm’d, “Grandpa’s getting old, it might just be a couple of years, I have to find Nigel as soon as possible, by hook or by crook, if there’s a chance, I won’t give up.”
Upon hearing this, Christine White’s mind suddenly conjured up the old man’s white hair, and her heart suddenly soured, “Grandpa he will live a long life.”
Baird Lane’s lips curled lightly, “Grandpa will be happy to hear that from you.”
“I’m not kissing ass, I’m telling the truth, grandpa he’s going to live a good life.” Christine White waved her small fist and said with certainty.
Baird Lane smile converged down, “That’s what they say, but in reality, who knows, the last medical checkup, the doctor said that grandpa’s stomach function has already started to decline, and it’s just the beginning, the other internal organs will slowly decline as well, and when that time comes …”
“Stop it.” Christine White interrupted him, “It’s okay, as long as he’s well adjusted, Grandpa will be fine.”
Baird Lane how can not know that she is intentionally comforting him, the heart is soft, body hand to carry her into the arms, “There is no need to deceive themselves and others, to see the reality is not necessarily a bad thing, after a period of time, I will arrange for grandpa into the nursing home.”
“Is Grandpa going to be there?” Christine White looked up from his arms a little skeptically.
Baird Lane looked down to meet her eyes, “It will, and he’ll have to go if he doesn’t.”
“So you’re going to force Grandpa to go over there, you’re quite the bully.” Christine White let out a laugh.
Baird Lane pressed his forehead against hers, “Grandpa’s nature, you can’t do it without being strong, if he doesn’t go then he’s got these three or four years at best, he’ll get two more years out of it if he’s sent to a nursing home now, and once Grandpa’s gone you’ll be all I’ve got.”
Christine White looked shaky for a moment, then lowered her eyes, “Why talk so pessimistic, you still have your brother.”
“Whether or not Nigel can be retrieved is one question, and the other, we won’t be able to do much to get close once he’s retrieved.” Baird Lane murmured.
Christine White did not refute his words, she also understood that, after all, after more than twenty years of separation, Nigel Lane was still growing up around The Lane Family’s enemies, and when he got them back, he really did not necessarily accept The Lane Family, so there was a real possibility that he could not talk about being close to Baird Lane.
Thinking about it, Christine White sighed, “It’s okay, even so, you’re not just me, you’ve got our baby.”
“A baby?” Baird Lane’s pupils constricted in disbelief as he pushed her a little further away and looked down at her belly, “You’re pregnant?”
