“If Director Zager invites me, I’ll definitely come!” Mila echoed and raised her glass to toast. Although she didn’t like socializing, she still had to have normal etiquette.

After everyone finished eating and drinking, it was already nine o’clock when they returned to the hotel. Mila couldn’t handle the alcohol and felt dizzy after drinking a few glasses. She leaned against the sofa and closed her eyes to rest like a lazy cat. She suddenly remembered that she hadn’t video-called Chaucer.

Knowing Chaucer was still awake at this hour, Mila made a video call.

At first, Chaucer didn’t pick up. After a while, Chaucer called her back. Mila could tell at a glance that Chaucer wasn’t at home. It was an unfamiliar place.

“Are you not home yet?” Mila asked with narrowed eyes.

“I went back to my parents’ place. I wanted to video call you when I returned to Dragon Bay, but you called first.”

Chaucer didn’t pick up the first call because he wanted to find a suitable place to answer it. If she saw his family’s villa that was worth hundreds of millions, his secret would be exposed.

He didn’t want Mila to know his identity for the time being, so he could only be careful to avoid being discovered.

Mila rubbed her eyes and said tiredly, “It’s not safe to drive at this time of night. Just stay at home. You haven’t been home to see Mom and Dad for a long time.”

“But it’s time to water the plants today.” Chaucer’s voice was indifferent.

“It’s okay to water it a day later.” Mila smiled and said, “I’m done with work and can go back tomorrow. I’ll take care of the plants when I get home.”

“What time is your flight? I’ll pick you up.”

Mila was a little surprised that Chaucer would say this, but after thinking about it carefully, she decided he was her husband after all. Although it was only a marriage in name, in order to maintain a harmonious relationship, it was necessary to get along.

Mila immediately agreed with a smile. “I’ll arrive at the capital airport at ten tomorrow morning.”

“Okay,” Chaucer replied. He was just being polite when he made the offer, but Mila actually asked him to pick her up. However he was the one who said it first, and he couldn’t go back on his word after Mila agreed.

Mila seemed to have seen through his thoughts. She smiled and walked to the bathroom. She placed her phone on the sink and prepared to take off her clothes to take a shower.

“Mila, you didn’t turn off your cell phone!” Chaucer reminded her loudly, and his breathing quickened.

Was this woman deliberately taking off her clothes to seduce him? Was she really going to show her true colors?

“Shame on you!” Unexpectedly, Mila exclaimed in the next second and quickly hung up the video call. She even threw her phone on the bed in disdain before entering the bathroom to take a shower.

At the thought of almost being naked in front of Chaucer just now, Mila couldn’t help but blush and rub her face in frustration.

She was a little drunk and felt dizzy. That was why she forgot to turn off her cell phone. However, when Chaucer saw her take off her clothes, he could have hung up on her!

Bastard! He must have deliberately peeked. He clearly wanted to look, but he pretended to be so innocent!

Mila shook her head and decided to drink less in the future.

At this moment, Chaucer was leaning against the balcony and enjoying the cold wind. He stared blankly at the screen.

She was the one who took the initiative to take off her clothes for him to see. Why did she scold him instead? Was she being unreasonable?

He had let down his guard recently. This woman could not be underestimated. He had to be careful in the future.

Chaucer took a deep breath, picked up his phone, and sent Jason a message. He told Jason he had something to do tomorrow morning and couldn’t go to the office. Jason could send the schedule to his phone, and he would go to the office in the afternoon to settle them.

When Chaucer walked out of the balcony, Jen was still reading in the living room. When she saw him coming out, she immediately asked, “Chaucer, was it Mila? How has she been recently?”

When Chaucer returned home today, everyone asked why Mila wasn’t there. He explained she was filming a show somewhere.

“She’s doing well. Her scenes are over. She’ll be back tomorrow.”

Jen nodded and said, “Then you can pick her up tomorrow. Don’t always be busy with work. You have to care more about Mila.”

“Yes, I’ve already promised to pick her up tomorrow,” Chaucer replied lightly.

Jen smiled in satisfaction. “Good. Work harder in the future and have a baby as soon as possible. While I still have energy, I’ll help you guys take care of the child.”

Chaucer was speechless.

A baby? Not in a million years!

The following day

Mila got up early and packed her luggage. Then, she went to the hotel cafeteria for breakfast before going to the airport.

Before checking in, Mila sent a message to Chaucer, telling him that she had boarded the plane. Then, she put on an eye mask and fell asleep. When she woke up, the plane had already landed at the capital airport.
