The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

After a long time, they finally let go of each other, breathless.

“Brandon, control yourself. I’m almost out of breath! We’re still discussing something important,” Natalie said playfully, caressing Brandon’s chest with her fingertips.

“We can talk about it later,” Brandon murmured. He took off his tie excitedly and held Natalie in his arms, eagerly wanting to take her to the bed.

“No,” Natalie rejected him. She hurriedly gripped Brandon’s hand and added, “I want to settle Laney’s problem first. I’m worried about her!”

Since Natalie was adamant, Brandon could only respect her wishes.

He sat on the sofa with his arms around Natalie, trying his best to restrain his desires. “Anyway, there’s no need to worry too much. If Garrett and Laney break up, it’s his fault. It has nothing to do with you,” he said casually.

“I understand. But I’m worried that he might approach you for help,” Natalie replied with a nod. Brandon chuckled, “He knows he’s in the wrong. He wouldn’t dare to trouble me.”

With Brandon’s assurance, Natalie finally made up her mind.

She must help Laney escape from the Harding family.

However, Laney had just given birth. It would be bad for her health if there was no one to take care of her.

As such, Natalie decided to call Ian and told him her plans.

“You’re saying that Mrs. Harding wants to leave Barnes?” Ian clarified with Natalie again as he was surprised by the sudden decision.

He didn’t expect Laney to be so firm about leaving Garrett.

Natalie confirmed and continued to ask, “Will you leave Barnes with her? If it’s inconvenient for you to leave, I’ll get someone else to assist her.” Ian smiled and happily agreed, “There’s no need. I’m willing to go to another city with Mrs. Harding.”

Natalie never thought that Ian would agree so readily. She asked in surprise, “Do you know which city Laney is going to? It’s far less prosperous than Barnes. “

“I’m not really concerned about the environment. It’s my job to take care of Mrs. Harding. So, I’ll help her in any way I can,” Ian replied in a low voice.

Natalie felt relieved by his words. Ian was a very capable assistant. He would definitely take good care of Laney and her baby.

She sorted out her thoughts and related her plans to Ian.

As soon as Garrett finished his work in the company, he bought Laney’s favorite desserts and drove to the hospital.

He was determined to get Laney’s forgiveness.

However, Garrett was stunned when he pushed the door open to her ward.

The afternoon sunshine shone through the open window into the empty ward. The wind had diluted the scent of disinfectant. The quilt on the bed was neatly folded as if the room had been vacant for a long time.

The only proof that someone had stayed here was the lonely bouquet of flowers he had put in the vase a few days ago, swaying in the wind.

Garrett stared blankly at the empty ward, dropping the desserts he bought on the floor. His assistant double-checked the ward number and scanned the room again. He asked in confusion, “We are at the right ward, so why isn’t Mrs. Harding here?”

Garrett ignored his assistant.

He stared blankly at a piece of note that had been blown up by the wind, slowly gliding to the ground.

His l*egs felt heavy as he walked into the ward to pick up the note.

“I won’t return to the Harding family. I have taken my baby with me to another place. I will send you a message once we settle down. But if the Hardings insist on taking my baby away from me, we will move somewhere you will never find. Laney.”

Garrett felt his heart aching instantly from the parting with his wife and child.

He expected Laney would propose to leave, but he didn’t expect her to leave so decisively.

He thought he would have time to persuade her to stay.

When his assistant read the note, he was also stunned. “Mr. Harding… Do you need me to send someone to investigate Mrs. Harding’s whereabouts? She couldn’t have gone far,” he suggested in concern.

“No, it’s okay. Let her go,” Garrett said, shaking his head calmly.

He knew that Laney must have been extremely disappointed with him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left Barnes without fully recuperating. If he chased her, it would only backfire.

Moreover, Laney didn’t have many friends in Barnes. He was certain that Natalie had helped her. Otherwise, she couldn’t leave Barnes quietly without him noticing.

With Natalie protecting her, it wouldn’t be easy for Garrett to find her.

Garrett asked his assistant to go back first, while he sat on the bed and looked at the note again and again.

He pictured the scene when Laney left. How heartbroken and disappointed she must have felt.

Why was Laney so determined to leave? She didn’t even give him a chance to say goodbye.

Garrett couldn’t resist the urge to find out news about Laney. He just needed to know her current situation. Just that little information could put him at ease.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he dialed Brandon’s number.

Meanwhile, Brandon received Garrett’s call and wasn’t surprised. He had been expecting Garrett’s call to ask about Laney as soon as Garrett found out she had left.

“I won’t tell you where she is,” Brandon immediately said when he answered the phone. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Garrett smiled bitterly and replied, “I didn’t call to ask about her whereabouts.”

Raising his eyebrows, Brandon asked in surprise, “Then why did you call?”

“Did Laney bring Ian with her when she left?” Garrett replied calmly.

Brandon had expected Garrett to be blaming him. Instead, Garrett’s irrelevant question surprised him. He was a little stunned but answered, “Yes.”

Garrett cheered up a little and said, “That’s good. Ian is a very professional assistant. As long as he is with her, I’m relieved.”

Brandon got even more surprised as Garrett’s response was far beyond his expectation.

He knew that Garrett disliked Ian. He never expected Garrett to be so calm to have Laney alone with Ian.
