The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 567

Joseph replied gently, "Alright, but I have a dinner meeting tonight, so I won't be home for dinner. I'll try to wrap it up early and head back."

Hearing that her husband had another business dinner, Vivica felt a brief pang of disappointment, but she answered graciously, "Okay, got it."

His job required this kind of networking; he was always meeting with big shots to discuss deals.

He wasn't out partying, he avoided shady entertainment venues, and he never flirted with random women. He kept his nose extremely clean.

His dinners were just dinners. He might have a few drinks, but he always made sure to come home clear-headed.

Because of that, Vivica never restricted his social life; in fact, she was very understanding and supportive.

When Joseph returned, he had taken his wife and son back to Greenbelt Villa.

After getting off work and returning to their own home, Vivica felt much more relaxed and comfortable.

Although staying at the old estate was fine, and Sheridan and Melanie never interfered in her life, living with elders always brought a certain level of constraint.

That evening, after putting Chaim to bed, she continued working on a freelance project.

When she heard the sound of a car in the driveway, she had just finished the assignment and called it a night.

Feeling in high spirits, she practically skipped downstairs to play the role of the perfect, doting wife.

As soon as Joseph walked in, a pair of house slippers was placed right by his feet.

"You've worked hard today, Mr. Baird," she said, giving a playful bow with a beaming smile.

Joseph glanced at her, unable to hold back a laugh. "What's all this about?"

A while back, he'd come home and been ambushed the second he walked into the bedroom.

Now she wasn't waiting in the bedroom anymore, but playing dress-up in the living room?

Vivica shot him a look. "Welcoming the man of the house! What, you don't like my welcome ceremony?"

"I love it. I love whatever you do," Joseph said, quickly expressing his gratitude as he changed his shoes.

Once he had his slippers on, he stepped forward, not forgetting to wrap an arm around her and pull his wife in for a kiss.

Vivica naturally took the coat draped over his arm and his laptop, but she couldn't help furrowing her brow slightly. "You've been drinking?"
