Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law

Chapter 418 418: Love Each Other, Together Forever (3)_1

Ruby slightly pulled away from his embrace and lifted her face in front of him, her eyes brimming with tears that finally began to slide down slowly, drop by drop, line by line, falling onto Marcel Horne's hand. They burned his skin like raging fire, piercing his heart with pain.

Sovia Morris's heart was deeply shaken as she confronted the true feelings of this young couple for the first time.

What is the meaning of eternal vows? What is forever loyalty? This young couple before her, this strong girl who, for love, spared no effort—through her actions, she composed a moving and heartfelt love melody for me.

"Marcel, for Ruby's sake, you must rouse yourself again..." Sovia wept softly.

Marcel Horne tenderly wiped away the tears on Ruby Bluen's face, recalling every little moment of the past, the promises he had made to her. His own heart was being tormented. What had I made of her? I had indeed pushed her away—what kind of scorn would she face then? I had never considered her feelings, only knowing to push her away. Between us, the only one who had always been strong was her. Should I continue to be depressed like this? Am I being fair to my family who loves and cares for me? Am I honoring our promise to love and accompany each other forever?

"Ruby..." He pressed Ruby's head back into his chest and said in a hoarse whisper, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, all my fault, I'm sorry... For you, I must stand up! I will stand up for you. I will once again be the indomitable man in your eyes!"

On hearing this, Sovia sobbed with joy.

Turning around, she silently left the ward, leaving the space to the couple who had been through trials and tribulations, only to embrace and see the rainbow after the storm, to pour out their hearts to each other.

She knew that as long as Ruby Bluen was there, her son would surely recover.

Stepping outside, she looked up at the sky overhead, feeling that the sky was so broad it could encompass the entire world.

She decided to inform the Horne family that once Marcel was discharged, they should hold a grand wedding for him and Ruby. This would allow the couple, who had missed six years together, to finally be united and start their new life—a mother's way of making amends.

「Valence Group.」

The Secretary stood in front of the CEO's Office, her hand knocking on the thick office door moderately, a trace of barely perceptible nervousness in her eyes.

The CEO had suddenly called her into his office.

Could it be that I've done something wrong? The CEO hasn't been to the company for several days, and today, upon his return, he had me come to his office. It's really making me quite anxious.

"Come in!"

Glades Horne's deep voice came through, and the Secretary dared to open the door. Dressed in a suit and heels, she stood at nearly 170 centimeters tall. In fact, all the secretaries in the Valence Group were tall and pretty. The group didn't want excessively glamorous secretaries, just those who were attractive, dignified, and capable.

The Secretary was married with a child. Having been with Valence Group for many years, her competence was what prompted Glades Horne to select her as one of his secretaries.

The Secretary stopped three steps in front of the large desk, hands placed before her like a hotel attendant, her face serious yet respectful. She asked evenly, "CEO, did you need me for something?"

Glades Horne lifted his head from a pile of documents. Many matters had accumulated in the group, and he had to address them all today. He also had an important meeting later and, in the afternoon, was scheduled to attend a business seminar organized by the city's Chamber of Commerce. This seminar was touted as an important meeting regarding the city's future development. Since the government had some influence over the Chamber, he felt he had to show a certain amount of respect. Therefore, he planned to attend to prevent any gossip about the Horne family being too arrogant and disregarding the government's position.

Glades Horne looked at the Secretary without responding immediately. His reaction made the Secretary even more uneasy.

Dealing with such a boss can indeed be vexing at times!

After two minutes, Glades Horne suddenly asked, "Ms. Yang, how old is your child now?"

My child's age? The CEO never inquires about personal matters of his staff and doesn't allow staff to talk about personal issues during work hours. Why is he asking me about personal matters today? The Secretary was momentarily confused but still answered honestly, "My son is only a year and a half old now."

Glades Horne nodded.

"Do you have a photo of your son? May I see it?" His face was still slightly stern, but his words took the Secretary by surprise.

She promptly replied, "Yes, CEO, just a moment." Then she left the office, returning to her desk to pick up the small photo frame placed beside her computer, which held a picture of her beloved son.

I heard the CEO's wife is pregnant. He's probably just curious about babies.

The Secretary handed the photo of her son to Glades Horne. After looking at it, his tone softened significantly. "Your son is very handsome and cute," he said.

"CEO, the child born to you and the CEO's wife will surely be even more beautiful and adorable," the Secretary said sincerely. "With such a handsome CEO and a beautiful and charming wife, your child will naturally inherit your excellent genes."

Glades Horne smiled faintly, then turned to the Secretary again. "Ms. Yang," he asked, "as someone who has been through it, do you know of any way to alleviate vomiting during pregnancy?"

In the morning, his beloved wife, Julia, had suffered so greatly from vomiting that he was heartbroken.

He had called Dr. Lei, who told him that this was a normal pregnancy reaction. After three months, the vomiting should subside, and he shouldn't panic. Dr. Lei also mentioned that for severe cases, medication could be prescribed to mitigate the symptoms, but it couldn't be completely eliminated.

Still, he sought any method or remedy that could spare Julia some hardship.

The Secretary was taken aback, then smiled. "CEO, in the early stages of pregnancy, typically within the first three months, it's normal for many to experience vomiting. There's really nothing that can be done to prevent it. At most, a doctor can prescribe something to ease the symptoms, but it only lessens them. Actually, it will pass with a bit of endurance; three months will go by quickly."
