Riley Hawthorne was silent for a moment and then said, "Sister-in-law, I know you’re looking out for me. But I really like Zachary and I don’t want to just give up." Vivian Lynch looked at Riley’s firm expression, knowing that saying more would be pointless. She sighed and said, "Alright! Since you’ve decided, follow your heart." She could only hope that Riley would soon come to her senses and not let herself be too hurt. Vivian, pregnant, came out of Riley’s room, just as Caden returned and immediately rushed to her. "Honey, it’s so late, why haven’t you gone back to your room to rest?" Caden asked, supporting Vivian with concern in his voice. "You’re back!" Vivian smiled lightly, "I couldn’t sleep, so I chatted with Riley." As they spoke, Caden was already helping her back to the room. "What did you two talk about?" Caden habitually helped Vivian sit on the bed and then asked the servant to prepare a cup of warm milk. Vivian was prone to swollen feet now, so he needed to give her more calcium supplements. Watching Caden’s busy figure, Vivian felt warmth in her heart. After Caden sat down beside her, she slowly began to speak, "Riley has fallen for Zachary Sutton, but Zachary only sees her as a sister and he rejected her. Riley is very upset and doesn’t want to give up." Caden frowned slightly and said, "Zachary Sutton? He’s not good enough for Riley. Riley is the treasure of the Hawthorne Family and shouldn’t be wronged." He wasn’t belittling his friend; he just thought Zachary was not in the same league as his sister. If Riley were with him, she’d only get hurt. Besides, one is his good friend and the other is his dearest sister, deep down he didn’t wish for them to be together. Vivian gently held Caden’s hand and said, "Matters of the heart are hard to explain. Riley is very persistent right now, and I couldn’t persuade her." Caden sighed and said, "Let’s hope Riley sees things clearly soon and doesn’t get too deeply involved." At that moment, the servant knocked on the door and brought up the warm milk. "Young master, the warm milk is ready." The servant brought in the warm milk. Caden carefully handed the milk to Vivian and said, "Here, drink the milk. It’s good for the baby." Vivian took the milk and drank it slowly. Caden watched her, his eyes full of tenderness and love. After drinking the milk, Caden helped Vivian lie down and tucked her in. "Get some good rest, don’t think too much. Let Riley solve her own problems." Vivian nodded and closed her eyes. Caden sat at the bedside, quietly watching her, his hand softly caressing Vivian’s belly, as if speaking to their baby, "Be good, you shouldn’t kick your mommy at night." Caden sat for a while before preparing to get up and leave. Google seaʀᴄh novel※fire.net Suddenly, Vivian on the bed opened her eyes and quickly grabbed his hand, "Honey, where are you going?" Caden looked at her gently, "Don’t worry, I’m just going to take a shower. I’ll be back to sleep with you in a moment." Hearing this, Vivian blushed slightly but still nodded and let go of Caden’s hand. Caden leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead. "Honey, wait for me." Listening to Caden call her "Honey", Vivian felt a burst of sweetness in her heart and obediently nodded, "Okay." Caden got up and walked into the bathroom, soon the sound of running water filled the air. Vivian lay on the bed, listening to this sound, a sense of indescribable peace arose in her heart. Soon, Vivian closed her eyes and fell asleep. After finishing his shower, Caden walked out of the bathroom in his pajamas, his hair still damp, exuding a faint scent of shampoo. He walked to the bedside in slippers, his eyes full of warmth. "Honey, I’m here," Caden said softly. The next moment, he saw that Vivian had already fallen asleep waiting for him. Caden smiled helplessly, gently opened the quilt, lay beside Vivian, held her lightly, and kissed her forehead and lips again before feeling satisfied and falling asleep. Sunshine filtered through the gaps in the curtains, bringing a touch of warmth into the room. Caden woke up first, watching Vivian still asleep in his arms, his eyes full of fondness. He gently got up, not wanting to wake Vivian, then walked to the window and opened the curtains, allowing more light to pour into the room. Outside, the flowers in the garden swayed gently in the breeze, as if telling the beauty of a new day. After washing up, Caden went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Vivian. It was his first time making breakfast for Vivian, wanting to show her more care. Mrs. Hawthorne had told him that once a woman is pregnant, she becomes more sensitive, and since he spent long hours at the company, he worried that Vivian might feel neglected. So, Caden thought to concern in other ways. Caden skillfully cooked porridge and fried a few heart-shaped eggs, as he often made simple meals when he was home alone before. Hence, making porridge and frying eggs was already second nature to him. But today was different; today, the breakfast he prepared was filled with love for Vivian. After Riley woke up, she went downstairs to ask Butler Hughes if the kitchen staff had prepared breakfast. Unexpectedly, she saw the kitchen staff watching as her brother busied himself in the kitchen. "Auntie, what’s up with my brother? Did the sun rise from the west?" Riley rubbed her eyes, unsure, and checked again. The servant chuckled, "Miss, the young master is personally making breakfast for his wife!" Riley widened her eyes, full of disbelief. "My brother can cook? That’s too incredible!" She walked to the kitchen door, watching Caden’s earnest, busy figure, feeling a surge of complex emotions. On one hand, she was moved by her brother’s deep admiration for his wife; on the other hand, thinking about her own failed romance, she couldn’t help but feel a little sad. Caden heard the noise, turned around, saw Riley, and smiled, saying, "Awake? Join us for breakfast in a bit." Riley forced a smile and said, "Brother, you’re so good to your wife." As Caden arranged the utensils, he said, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant now, very tiring. Doing these things for her is the least I can do." Riley was silent for a moment and then said, "Brother, I really envy you two." Hearing this, Caden reached out and tapped her head, "What are you thinking? Go wash your hands and eat, cheer up." Caden knew Riley was still upset over yesterday’s confession to Zachary, so he wanted her to rally and not overthink things. Riley playfully stuck out her tongue, "Got it."
