Chapter 958

Vivian finally returned to her cozy home.

She sank into the sofa, completely relaxed.

Ethan had specifically arranged for Theo to visit.

"Aunt Vivian!" Theo called out cheerfully as soon as he entered.

This time, Vivian didn’t correct his form of address.

She smiled and beckoned him over. "Come here, let me take a look at you."

Theo dashed toward her, arms wide open, ready to throw himself into her embrace.

Ethan swiftly intercepted him. "Careful. Your aunt has a baby in her belly now."

Theo tilted his head, confused. "A baby?"

"Yes. You’re going to be a big brother," Ethan said, ruffling his hair.

The little boy’s eyes instantly lit up. "Really? I’m getting a baby brother or sister?"

He spun around excitedly in place.

"Aunt Vivian, don’t worry! I’ll be the best big brother ever!" He thumped his chest proudly.

Vivian’s smile softened. "Such a good boy."

She pulled Theo close. "No matter what, I’ll always love you just as much."

Theo nodded vigorously. "I know! Uncle Ethan and Aunt Vivian are the best!"

He nuzzled against her affectionately. "Aunt Vivian, I missed you so much."

"You’ll get to see me a lot more now," Vivian said, pinching his cheek playfully.

Ethan stood nearby, watching the heartwarming scene unfold.

A faint smile tugged at his lips.

In the past, work had consumed his entire world. Only now did he truly understand what happiness meant.

......

Tensions simmered beneath the surface at Roscente Group.

Ethan’s reduced presence at the company had emboldened certain individuals.

Victor Roscente quietly rallied shareholders, stoking discontent.

"Mr. Roscente has been neglecting his duties lately."

"The company is thriving, yet he barely shows his face."

"This is unacceptable."

Whispers filled the boardroom as shareholders exchanged disapproving murmurs.

Simon called Ethan. "Sir, the situation here is deteriorating."

"Handle it as usual," Ethan replied coolly. "Buy out any dissenters at market price."

"But Victor’s faction—"

Before Ethan could respond, Vivian’s voice cut in. "Go to the office."

She took the phone from him. "Simon, make sure he gets there immediately."

After hanging up, she fixed Ethan with a firm look. "Don’t make me lose respect for you."

Ethan chuckled helplessly. "As you command, my dear wife."
