After the kids from her class had all return home, Edith went into her classroom to tidy up her belongings and decided to head over to MH Group headquarters to find her husband. 

The little girl had headed over to home earlier to finish the model that she had gotten from Alex on her birthday. Hazel was determined to finish the model soon so that she can show it to Alex the next time they met. 

As Hazel had already gone back home with Driver Tang, Edith booked a cab and head over to the company. She stopped by at the cafe across the company and bought a few pastries for Neil.

Although the receptionists had seen her at the company a few times, none of them stopped her from using the elevator to the President's floor. The security had already given them a heads up that the woman was someone who would be allowed to enter and leave as she pleased. Because of this, Edith had never run into trouble every time she wanted to find Neil.

Once she arrived at the President's floor, Assistant Shawn had already been waiting for her outside. The man greeted her with a smile and called, "Madam."

The smile on her face froze. At this time, she was a little unused to hear anyone who would call her madam.

Sensing her awkwardness, the smile on Assistant Shawn's widened. "The President is in the meeting room. Madam, just go ahead and wait for President Mo in his office."

Edith nodded. She handed over a box of pastries to Assistant Shawn and reminded him to share it with everyone in the secretarial department before she went into his office.

Her gaze softened as they fell at the stack of paperwork on his desk. She placed the box of pastries on the coffee table and walked over to the side to boil some water to make tea.

Just as the tea was prepared, the door was pushed from the outside and Neil appeared at the door.

The iceblock expression on his face gradually disappeared when he saw his wife waiting for him. 

"Everyone in the secretarial department was happy that Mrs. Mo had brought them some desserts," Neil said as soon as he closed the door behind him. "You brought some desserts for everyone, did you bring some for me?" 

Edith put down the cup on the table and walked over to him. She pecked at his lips and smiled. "Your dessert." Her head tilted and Edith looked at him with a playful smile. "How is it? Sweet?"

His eyes darkened, knowing exactly what she was insinuating. His arms snaked around her waist and he pulled the woman in her embrace closer. "Mmm… Very sweet. However, just one bite is not enough." As soon as the words came out, his lips fell on hers, and soon, it turned into a deep kiss.

The two were still in their honeymoon period and they couldn't get enough of each other whenever they were together.

"Are you here to pick me up?" Neil asked as they were parted.

"Hmm…" Edith nodded. "These past few days, you have been preoccupied with works and had returned home late." She cupped her hands on his face and continued, "I'm worried that you're going to force yourself too much. Did you eat your lunch properly today?"

His lips curled into a helpless smile. "Mrs. Mo, are you worried about me?"

"If I don't worry about you, then who should I worry about?" Edith stepped away from his embrace and dragged him to sit down on the sofa. Then, he placed the fresh tea and pastries to him and urged him to taste them.

Edith then watched him eat and glanced at his desk. "Will you be busy again today?"

"Since my wife had already come here to invite me, of course, it wouldn't make sense for me to stay here and work."

"Sweet talker," Edith bopped at his nose. "If you're busy, then just say so. I won't disturb your work. I will leave after watching you eat your dinner."

"No. Let's head home together," Neil said. "I still have a few documents to look at. Accompany me for a while longer. Then, let's have dinner together before we head home. Since you're here…"

Edith raised a brow when the man paused suddenly. She watched as he walked over behind his desk and pulled out a few documents. "Mrs. Mo, how about helping me to look at these documents?"

A chuckled escaped her. "What can I do after looking at your documents? It's not like I understand anything."

"You will be able to help me with this," Neil said. "They're in French. Help me to translate this for me."

Edith glanced at the documents and laughed. "President Mo, you should know that I will charge for my translation."

"I'll pay no matter how much you charge me."

Edith sat down on the sofa and scanned for the documents. By the time she finished looking at those documents, Neil had already done with his paperwork.

The two of them walked out of Neil's office together and headed for the elevator with their hands intertwined.

"My grandfather called this morning," Edith said as soon as the elevator closed. "He told me that he's heading to Capital City with Grandpa George in a few days."

"Mmm… Grandpa mentioned that to me." Neil looked at her face and understood what was on her mind. "Are you worried?"

Edith did not answer but her hand was gripping against him tightly. 

"I already asked a few of my friends to look over Grandpa and his friends as long as they are in Capital City. Grandpa will be alright. Don't worry. Grandpa will just stay to look at a few things." His face darkened as Neil thought about a few things. "The last time General Attorney Leng went to Capital City, he met the people he wanted to meet, but could not get what he wanted."

"What do you mean?"

Neil turned to her and a faint smile appeared on her lips. "A friend of mine decided to interfere. Without the support from the higher-ups, the General Attorney will not be able to do anything. But this way, it will be easier for your grandpa and me to find more evidence against him. Don't worry." He raised their intertwined hands and planted a kiss at the back of her hand. "It will all be over soon."

Edith heaved a sigh and flashed him an assured smile. 

The elevator slid open and the two of them stepped out into the lobby. Just then, the head of security walked over to them. 

His expression changed slightly after Neil heard the head's words.  He turned to Edith and patted her hand.  "Wait for me here. I will come back soon."

Edith nodded and walked over to the lounge.  She took out her phone to check at a few messages and looked up when she noticed that someone was approaching her.. Her expression changed when she saw Autumn Feng's face.
