It was already evening when Dominic finished the meeting and the sky had darkened. After an afternoon of meetings, he couldn’t help but have a hint of fatigue between his brows.
At this time, his secretary, Kevin, came in and reported, “Mr. Johnson, this afternoon, there was news from Portmare about Mrs. Johnson.
Hearing that it was about Brynn, Dominic immediately perked up. He looked at Kevin. “What happened?”
So Kevin briefly explained the afternoon’s events. “At present, the matter has been completely resolved, and we have also sent people to reduce the popularity of information online.”
Dominic nodded, obviously satisfied with Kevin’s arrangement. “Well done.”
But he was still worried about Brynn, afraid that she was in a bad mood, so after thinking for a few seconds, he instructed, “Postpone the next meeting. After speaking, he took out his phone, walked to the balcony, and dialed a number.
Kevin looked at Dominic’s back with surprise. This is the first time Dominic has put personal matters ahead of official duties!” he thought. The First Lady means more to him than I expected.
Though many thoughts flashed through his mind, as Dominic’s most capable assistant, he naturally didn’t let any of his emotions show. Kevin quickly instructed an aide to keep the Yalorian Foreign Minister occupied and postpone their meeting
Dominic made a video call to Brynn. The call was connected soon. Brynn had just opened the door and returned home. While taking off her coat, she put the phone on her shoulder. “Hello, hubby.”
Dominic couldn’t wait to ask, “Honey, how was the competition? Did anyone bully you?”
Hearing this, Brynn paused while taking off her shoes, took the phone from her ear, looked at Dominic on the video, and said with a little surprise, “How do you know about today’s competition?”
Dominic’s expression froze. He had slipped, forgetting to keep up his facade. Just as he was about to explain, Brynn chuckled. “Caught you slacking off and sneaking online, huh?” She gave him a playful, knowing look.
Seeing that she was still in the mood to tease him, Dominic breathed a sigh of relief. “Well, you caught me.” He smiled, “We are all working people, who don’t goof off at work?”
As he spoke, he leaned closer to the screen and winked at Brynn. “Did my dear wife ever goof off when she was at work?”
Looking at Dominic’s different look from his usual steady self, Brynn burst into laughter. She knew that he was trying to make her happy.
“Occasionally. I’m really fine. Everything has been resolved. I’m not as fragile as you think.”
“I know,” Dominic said, his expression turning serious. “I always knew you were strong, but being strong doesn’t mean you don’t need comfort, you don’t need to be coaxed.
I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you with everything you’ve been through these past few days. Dominic’s voice was gentle. “I should be done with things here in a few days. Wait for me to come back.”
‘Even the strongest person has a soft heart. He was here; how could he let her lick her wounds alone? he thought.
Listening to his sweet words, Brynn felt softness in her heart, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips, 7
feeling of
being cherished all the time was truly wonderful..

“It’s okay, I know you’re busy with work”
wasn’t angry at all. “Don’t feel sorry. I ignore you when I’m busy with work
Dominic blinked. “Well, then I’m jealous of your work.”
“P” Brynn couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re such a jealous pot, jealous of everything.”
“I just miss you.” Dominic’s gentle eyes reflected Brynn’s smiling face on the screen. “Do you miss me, my love?”
Brynn found his words mushy, and her ears turned a little red. But thinking that they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and that he was working hard on his business trip, she cleared her throat and prepared to speak. “Of course, I—”
Before she could say “miss you” too, a puzzled voice came from behind Brynn.
“Brynn, who are you talking to?”
The sudden voice startled Brynn, and she subconsciously hung up the video call. On the other end of the phone, Dominic thought, Why do I feel like I heard my mother’s voice?‘
