Chapter 1299 What Is Your SalaryLaney was swayed. “But I still need more time. After all, with Anya...”
Teresa, noticing Laney’s concern, interrupted with a reassuring smile, “Don’t worry. I won’t expect you to work now. You can
return to the workplace after your maternity leave.”
Touched by Teresa’s thoughtfulness, Laney nodded. “Thank you, Teresa.”
Teresa smiled warmly. “You’re welcome. As long as you’re willing to help me, we can work things out. It’s not easy to find a
female bodyguard as skilled as you, so I can’t just let you go.”
Flattered, Laney replied, “I’ll do my best. I won’t let you down.”
Seeing Laney’s agreement, Teresa breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
Glancing at her watch, she realized it was tfor work. After bidding Laney farewell, she stood up and left.
At the supermarket, lan expertly selected baby supplies while Laney pushed the stroller. “These diapers are soft and fit well,
perfect for the baby,” lan remarked, tossing a pack into their shopping basket.
Laney held up another bag of diapers, teasing, “What about these?”
lan examined the pack, shook his head, and replied, “Although the quality is good, they’re too thick. Anya overheats easily, so
they’d likely cause a heat rash.”
Surprised, Laney raised an eyebrow. “How do you know so much about diapers?”
lan grinned, “As a competent assistant, choosing the most suitable products for you and Anya is a basic professional skill.”
Laney nodded, thoroughly impressed.
In truth, lan was not only considerate but also intimately familiar with her and
Anya’s habits. He took excellent care of them both.
Even Anya had grown fond of him and had becincreasingly clingy to him.
With a playful smile, Laney inquired, “What did Jpay you? I need to know if I can afford you in the future.”
lan grinned and held up three fingers.
“Thirty grands?” Laney gasped, drawing the attention of nearby shoppers.
Covering her mouth, she eventually regained her composure and whispered to lan, “That’s quite a generous salary.”
lan reassured her gently, “Don’t worry. You’ll be able to afford it once you start working again. I’ll always be here to take care of
you and Anya.” His considerate words touched Laney deeply. In Laney’s eyes, lan had cared for her and her child more
effectively than any other assistant she’d encountered. Moreover, he maintained appropriate boundaries, which put her at ease.
She suddenly recalled the call from Janet, mentioning someone had forged a divorce agreement and sent it, along with the
wedding ring, to Garrett. Initially, she had suspected lan, but now she realized she might have jumped to conclusions.
lan had always maintained the proper his bounds.
He was a man of principle, and she trusted he wouldn’t secretly send such things to Garrett. There were numerous other people
who could have wanted her and Garrett to split up. Perhaps it was Kailee, who had long desired to be Garrett’s wife. Or maybe it
was Leo and Vera, who had never quite approved of her. Regardless, she felt certain it couldn’t be lan. This realization made
Laney feel guilty, and her lingering suspicions about lan faded
Once they had purchased the baby supplies, they proceeded to other sections of the store. Unbeknownst to them, a sneaky
figure trailed closely behind.
