Stella Fletcher sighed lightly, "Vivian, right now the Hawthorne Group and Everett Group are in a competitive relationship, and you are Master Hawthorne’s wife. I’m really in an awkward position caught in the middle. Plus, the recording issue hasn’t been clarified yet, so it’s inappropriate for me to stay in the Everett Group. I don’t want to cause trouble for you and Caden because of me." Vivian Lynch held Stella Fletcher’s hand, "Stella, you don’t have to think like that. It’s not your fault, and you don’t need to resign for these reasons. Besides, I believe you can find evidence to prove your innocence." Caden Hawthorne finished slicing the fruit, handed it to Vivian Lynch, and then looked at Stella Fletcher. "Miss Fletcher, regarding the recording issue, I’ve already assigned someone to investigate it. Actually, you don’t have to rush to resign. Silas Everett and I are indeed in a competitive relationship, but that’s between us; it has nothing to do with you." Stella Fletcher looked at Vivian Lynch and Caden Hawthorne, feeling touched, but she still shook her head. "Thank you for your kindness, Master Hawthorne, but I’ve already decided. I don’t want my matters to affect you both." The atmosphere in the hospital room was somewhat heavy, and the three of them fell into silence. After a moment of silence, Vivian Lynch slowly spoke, "Stella, since you’ve already decided, I won’t say anything more. Leaving the Everett Group, do you have any plans for what’s next?" Stella Fletcher lowered her head slightly, after thinking for a moment she said, "Vivian, I haven’t decided yet. But I think I want to take a break first and carefully think about my future direction." Vivian Lynch nodded. "Alright, you’ve worked hard during this time. Consider it a vacation for yourself to relax a bit." Caden Hawthorne looked at the two and smiled faintly, "Miss Fletcher, if there’s anything you need help with, just let me know." Vivian Lynch immediately said, "Right, Stella, if you feel uncomfortable at the Everett Group, after the new year when work resumes, you can come to Caden’s company!" Upon hearing this, Stella Fletcher instinctively glanced at Caden Hawthorne and quickly waved her hand, "No, that’s alright!" Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥 If she went to Caden Hawthorne’s company, she would feel even more uncomfortable. Vivian Lynch looked at Stella Fletcher with a bit of confusion. "Why not? Stella, you don’t need to feel embarrassed. Caden’s company has many positions suitable for you." Stella Fletcher smiled awkwardly. "Vivian, I know you mean well, but I still want to try finding a job on my own first. I don’t want to go to Master Hawthorne’s company so soon. Moreover, I don’t want people to think I got in through connections." Vivian Lynch understandingly nodded. "Alright, if that’s how you feel, I won’t force you. But if you change your mind, let me know anytime." Stella Fletcher looked at Vivian Lynch gratefully. "Vivian, thank you. I will think about it carefully." Caden Hawthorne watched the interaction between the two, his lips curling into a slight smile. "Miss Fletcher, no matter what decision you make, Vivian and I respect it. I hope you find a direction that suits your development." The atmosphere in the room gradually eased, and Vivian Lynch and Stella Fletcher chatted about other topics. Stella Fletcher stayed until midnight before leaving the hospital, allowing Vivian Lynch to get her rest. After Stella Fletcher left the hospital, the streets on the winter night appeared particularly quiet and cold. The cold wind brushed against her cheeks like icy needles. Meanwhile, in the hospital room, Vivian Lynch, accompanied by Caden Hawthorne, gradually fell asleep. The next day, sunlight streamed in through the hospital room window, bringing a touch of warmth to the entire room. Vivian Lynch slowly woke up and saw that Caden Hawthorne was still by her bedside, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. "Caden, did you not sleep all night?" Vivian Lynch asked softly. "No, I just woke up too, thinking that if the first person you saw when you woke up was me, you wouldn’t be scared." Caden Hawthorne realized that Vivian Lynch had a nightmare the previous day, repeatedly murmuring, "No, no..." It seemed that the recent changes had caused her to have a stress response. At this time, Mrs. Hawthorne and Riley Hawthorne came in with the babies. The two little ones were sleeping soundly, their adorable demeanors bringing a smile to everyone’s faces. "Vivian, how are you feeling? Are you better today?" Mrs. Hawthorne asked with concern. Vivian Lynch nodded. "Mom, I’m much better. I’ve worried you all." Riley Hawthorne smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are now the family’s major contributor, so taking care of you is our duty." "Can I see the babies?" Vivian Lynch looked expectantly at Mrs. Hawthorne and Riley Hawthorne, each holding a child. "Of course you can." Mrs. Hawthorne beamed and quickly brought the baby over for Vivian Lynch to see. Riley Hawthorne also brought the baby to Vivian Lynch’s side. Vivian Lynch looked at the two adorable babies, her heart filled with tenderness. She gently reached out and touched the baby’s little face, her eyes full of love. "The babies are so cute, they look like you and like me," Vivian Lynch turned and said to Caden Hawthorne with a smile. Caden Hawthorne nodded slightly, also smiling, "Of course, they are our treasures." Mrs. Hawthorne beside them was all smiles and couldn’t help but ask, "Caden, have you named the children yet?" Riley Hawthorne also looked expectantly, "Yes! The babies are born, they can’t go without names." Caden Hawthorne curled his lips, "Vivian and I have already thought it through, the boy will be named Evan Hawthorne, and the girl will be named Eliza Hawthorne." Vivian Lynch added with a smile, "Caden said, ’Evan’ signifies outstanding talent, and ’Cheng’ means hope. ’Eliza’ signifies joy and poetry." Mrs. Hawthorne was satisfied and nodded, "Good! These two names are very nice." "Yes, Evan is the hope of our Hawthorne family, and Eliza, she only needs to grow up happily, like me, to be a carefree little princess." Riley Hawthorne beamed with joy. Caden Hawthorne and Vivian Lynch exchanged glances, both smiling. Mrs. Hawthorne gently played with the babies, repeatedly chanting their names. "Evan, Eliza, you will be the treasures of our Hawthorne family. Grandma will pamper you well." Riley Hawthorne also smiled happily on the side, imagining playing with the two little treasures in the future. "Sister-in-law, when you and the babies are discharged from the hospital, we must celebrate well." Vivian Lynch smiled and nodded, "Alright." At this time, Old Master Hawthorne came in with the help of Butler Hughes, leaning on a cane. "Just a celebration won’t be enough. I want to prepare a grand banquet for my two great-grandchildren." "Grandfather." Seeing Old Master Hawthorne arrive, Caden Hawthorne and Vivian Lynch spoke out in unison. "My suggestion is good." Mrs. Hawthorne heard it and immediately raised her hands in agreement. Caden Hawthorne turned back and looked at Vivian Lynch with warmth, inadvertently holding her hand, saying, "By then, I will formally introduce Vivian to everyone, officially announcing that you are my one and only wife, Vivian Lynch."
