Chapter 39
In the study.
Andrew stood opposite Benjamin with his hands behind his back. No emotions could be seen on his handsome face.
“Andrew… You should already know about what happened with Henry, right?”
Benjamin sat on the leather chair and sighed helplessly. His gaze never left Andrew.
“Yes, I’ve already contacted the company’s public relations department to deal with this matter urgently.”
Then what do you plan to do with Henry?”
“It’s not irreversible. Grandpa, I will do whatever you want.”
Andrew knew that Benjamin had called him over with the intention of pleading for Henry Hayes.
He could not block Henry’s escape route tightly in front of his grandpa.
However, Henry should be able to stop for a while after this painful lesson.
“Henry doesn’t have his heart in the right place and needs to be properly trained. As his older brother, you must take responsibility for managing him well,” Benjamin said.
“Yes.””
Andrew nodded.
If he told Benjamin everything that Henry had done to him, Benjamin would definitely chase Henry out of the company or send him overseas again.
The reason why he didn’t do this was because Benjamin’s body had been deteriorating over the years and couldn’t take the stimulation.
If Benjamin knew how they were opposing each other behind his back, he would definitely be so angry that he would be bedridden, and his condition would worsen.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he still did not tell Benjamin the truth.
He could use other methods to deal with Henry Hayes.
“Andrew, I didn’t call you here just for Henry.”
After a pause, Benjamin spoke again. The expression on his face was even more serious than before.
“What is it?”
Seeing Benjamin’s expression, Andrew could not help but stand up straighter.
“My body has been getting weaker and weaker in the past two years. I only have one request for you. I want to see you have a child with Liz and build a loving family of three in my life. Can you satisfy my wish?”
Benjamin looked at Andrew steadily, and his tone was a little heavy.
When Andrew heard this, his beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and his heart was not calm.
Having a child with Elizabeth Hayes?
He really didn’t think about it until Benjamin mentioned the request.
However, he did not reject Elizabeth. He had once had intimate contact with her. If it was this woman who gave birth to the child, it did not seen that difficult to accept.
“Okay, Grandpa.”
He paused for a moment and agreed to Benjamin’s request.
“Good, very good. I’ll be waiting for your good news.”
Seeing that Andrew agreed, Benjamin finally relaxed his tense expression and smiled.
At night.
After a shower, Elizabeth wrapped herself in a pink bath towel and hummed a song as she walked out of the bedroom.
There’s a sadness. It’s your name… ah… Andrew. Why are you here?”
Before Elizabeth could finish singing, she saw Andrew leaning against her bedroom door.
His deep gaze landed on her, and Elizabeth’s face inexplicably burned from his gaze.
Andrew narrowed his beautiful eyes and stared fixedly at the shocked woman.

Chapter 39
She had just come out of the shower. Her hair was still wet and draped over her shoulders. Perhaps it was because she had. been in hot water for too long, her cheeks were red, and the other exposed skin on her body was pink.
It made him want to hold her in his arms and do something.
After staring at her for a few seconds, Andrew suddenly recalled Benjamin’s request in the afternoon.
Having a child with this woman as soon as possible.
Seeing that Andrew did not answer her question and leaned there without moving, Elizabeth could not help but frown. She wondered if Andrew was tired from the day’s events. “Was he feeling unwell? Did he have a fever?” she said inwardly.
Hence, she took long strides and walked straight to Andrew. Then, she stopped four inches away from him.
Finally, she stood on her tiptoes and placed her hand on Andrew’s forehead.
“You don’t have a fever. Are you alright?”
Seeing that the temperature on his forehead was no different from hers, Elizabeth retracted her hand and looked at Andrew in confusion.
After the soft touch on his forehead disappeared, Andrew was surprised to find that he was a little reluctant.
Seeing that Andrew was still silent, Elizabeth gave up her worries and curiosity and started to walk back. She opened the wardrobe and found a set of pajamas, wanting to change into them in the bathroom.
After all, it was inappropriate to dress like this and stay in the same room with a man.
“Elizabeth, let’s have a baby.”
Andrew’s deep and pleasant voice sounded in the room, breaking the awkward atmosphere from before and making it even stranger.
Hearing this, Elizabeth trembled all over.
The bad memories of how he had tied her up and forced her to do so played back in her mind like a movie.
She felt that the man’s gaze behind her seemed to make her uneasy again.
“He suddenly became so strange. Could it be that he is sick again?” Elizabeth thought.
With that thought in mind, she hurried to the bed, opened the drawer in the nightstand, and took out the leftover pepper spray she had used earlier. She held it surreptitiously in her hand and turned toward Andrew.
She thought that she had to make Andrew fall to the ground before he pounced on her.
“Why did you suddenly have such… such thoughts… Today is not April Fools‘ Day…”
She smiled awkwardly and laughed at Andrew, planning to divert his attention first and then attack him when he was unprepared.
However, Andrew had already discovered the thing in her hand. He walked forward and grabbed Elizabeth’s hand, confiscating the pepper spray in her hand.
“I’m not sick. You don’t have to be so wary of me.”
His tone was still very calm, no longer as violent and unruly as before, and the expression on his face was also very serious.
“Then… why would you say such a thing?”
Elizabeth found it a little funny. “My marriage with Andrew had no love foundation at all. Moreover, it was only at cooperative relationship now. It could not last long at all. He suddenly suggested having a child with me. Either he had a relapse, or his brain was damaged,” she said inwardly.
She did not think that she was that charming. In just a few days, Andrew had fallen in love with her and insisted on having a baby with her.
“Because Grandpa wanted to see my child before he passed away. I promised him, so I needed a child badly now. I can accept you.”
He expressed his inner desire very briefly, and his expression was very honest..
