I changed into comfortable pajamas and enjoyed the carefully prepared candlelight dinner alone. Henry came back at three in the morning. He took a long bath and put on a strong perfume, as if he was trying to cover up something.

After he got on the bed, he hugged me from behind. I pretended to be woken up by him, turned over, kept my body away from him, put my hands on his waist, and said in a muffled voice: "Husband, can you please not work so late in the future? It's not good for your health. I feel bad."

" Did I wake you up? I also want to go home on time every day to accompany you." He inserted his fingers into my hair, rubbed it, and sighed softly, "You also know that the market has been sluggish in the past two years, and many companies can't continue. Even though our company has a solid foundation, it has suffered a lot of losses. If there is no more income, we will have to lay off employees."

" The company is in urgent need of a project that can turn things around. Honey, doesn't dad have a resort development project? Do you think you can let dad give it to our company to do it?"

In the dark, I opened my eyes and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. The reason why Henry was regarded as a business genius by people in the circle was just because of my dad's help. While the companies established at the same time were still standing still and struggling to find cooperative projects, he had already won several projects, making his company a rising star that stood out from the crowd.

Everyone thought he was very capable and hardworking. He was very proud and wanted to do something to prove his ability, so we never made our relationship with my father public.

I answered the question irrelevantly: "Hubby, it's been two years, I still want a child, so that we can have a complete family." Henry 's hand froze and said, "Wife, didn't we agree not to have children? Pregnancy, taking care of and raising children are all very hard, I can't bear to let you suffer."

If I hadn't known that Joyce was pregnant with his child, I would have been blinded by my own desires and thought that he was caring for me. At this moment, I was extremely disappointed and had given up hope. He was used to playing the role of a romantic in front of me, so why should I expose him? Everyone has some acting skills, it just depends on who gets into the role first.

"That's right. The effort it takes to raise a child from conception to birth to adulthood is more difficult than opening a company and supporting hundreds of people." I said calmly, "Then you can restore my position. I will go back to work in two days. I have been recuperating for two years and I am almost idle."

At this moment, Henry's body was stiff. I didn't give him a chance to refuse, and added, "I can also discuss cooperation with my father as the vice president, right? You don't want people to know that the company won the project through the back door, right?"

Henry thought for a long time, and finally kissed the top of my head and said, "Okay, I'll listen to my wife and go to sleep."

"Oh, by the way, lend me your car tomorrow. I haven't visited my father for a long time, so this is a good opportunity to talk to him about the project." I added.
