Wyatt put down his wine glass, leaned back on the sofa, and stretched out his arms as if to embrace something.
Tomorrow, tomorrow is the main event. I really can't imagine their expressions.
He picked up the phone and dialed Zhang Hongmei on the other side of the ocean.
"Hongmei, I'm so happy today!"
"What's wrong? Have you been drinking?"
"Yes, cheers for tomorrow's victory! Let's savor the taste of victory wine first."
"Heh, you really are something. Wyatt, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Hehe, you're still as perceptive as ever. No need, nothing at all. Just wait for my good news of victory."
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
Zhang Hongmei hung up the phone, but she was really worried about him, so she called Carlos instead.
The secretary answered the phone. He knew that whenever it was the young lady calling, he had to immediately notify the head of the family.
"Hongmei, why are you calling at this hour?" It must be the middle of the night there.
“Wyatt just called me, and I think he’s not doing well.”
"Yes, I know, but don't worry, it's fine. I've already given him ten people, and he's not someone who'll fail so easily."
"Hmm, I'm still a little worried."
"It's okay, I'll meet him outside tomorrow morning."
The two exchanged a few more words before Zhang Hongmei hung up the phone. Zhang Shouyi, who was sitting on the sofa waiting for her, was in a bad mood.
Zhang Hongmei quickly went over and took his arm, "Brother Zhang, let's go to sleep."
"Honey, I can't sleep anymore." Zhang Shouyi's irregular sleep schedule probably means that once he's woken up in the middle of the night, he can forget about going back to sleep.
"It's alright, why don't you start cultivating?"
"No, you can make it up to me."
Zhang Hongmei finally gave in to his request and then held him as they fell asleep.
The next day, Zhang Hongmei woke up absent-minded. After two classes, she went straight home to play with the children, but she was still lost in thought.
Judging from Carlos's words, Wyatt is going to make his move today. This guy, even after all these years, is still so persistent. Now that the Hope Group is more powerful than the Roy family, he still hasn't given up.
Unable to get anything done in the afternoon, I simply had the kitchen prepare a lot of delicious food and sent it over to Liu Maocai and Liu Pengfei.
On the way back, I stopped by the Overseas Chinese Store again and bought some chocolate and milk powder for the kids. I'm going to use them to make a cake for my sons to try.
Thinking of this, I hurried home and started busying myself in the kitchen.
There was no one left to help; it was all on my own. Otherwise, the yeast and everything else would be hard to explain.
An hour later, the first batch of cakes was ready. The aroma filled the house. The nanny was asked to take some to the children, and a second batch was made, also for the children. The kids ate three batches, leaving some for the last two batches, and the rest were given to the sons.
This was also the time to prepare dinner, so I left the kitchen empty, went to take a shower, and waited for Zhang Shouyi to return.
Now it's just the two of them living at home; the children live next door. Zhang Shouyi likes it this way because no one bothers him.
He smiled when he saw the cake on the table; his wife's heart was impure.
The couple were alone in the dining room. "Honey, you don't need to worry about Wyatt. In his previous life, he succeeded even without Carlos's help, so don't worry about him."
"Brother Zhang, have you had contact with Wyatt before?"
"Eat first, I'll tell you in a bit."
After coaxing her to eat a bowl of porridge and half a piece of cake, the two went straight to the study.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you right away."
Actually, Wyatt and I had never met before, but we had spoken on the phone, though that was three years later.
We had originally intended to cooperate and had even discussed that he would come over, but he couldn't come because of a family emergency. Later, I learned that it was due to a power struggle within the Roy family.
Don't worry, Wyatt succeeded.
Now that he has your group company as a strong backer, and with Carlos's help, he will definitely succeed.
"Then I'm relieved. I'm just really puzzled as to why Wyatt's father doesn't approve of him. I have complete faith in Wyatt's abilities."
As the head of the family, shouldn't the most capable person rise to the top?
"Wife, just like you said, it also depends on fate. Maybe the two of us aren't meant to be."
"Well, Wyatt probably won't go along with Nicholas Roy."
"Okay, stop thinking about anyone else. Just think about me."
"Stop fooling around. I'll prepare some spiritual spring water for you. You should continue practicing your skills. That way, I'll feel at ease leaving you alone out here."
"Heh, what's bothering you about me? Are you afraid I'll repeat the mistakes of my past life?"
Seeing this person casually saying it with such a smirk, Zhang Hongmei was so angry she wanted to punch him.
"Alright, wife, don't be angry. Actually, in my past life, I wanted to die on my own, it had nothing to do with anyone else. In this life, I have you, my son, and my father is by my side. How could I bear to die? Now I just want to stay with you forever. I hope I can die after you."
That way I can take care of you as you leave, and I'll bear the suffering of leaving you behind. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it.
Zhang Hongmei was deeply moved. Of course, she knew that when the couple got old, the one who passed away first would be the one who would enjoy the most happiness.
"Brother Zhang."
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's focus on our cultivation. I'm ten years older than you, so if I want to follow in your footsteps, I'll have to work hard."
The couple were meditating and practicing in the house.
But the four children were very happy. "Big brother, let's invite Great-Grandpa and Grandpa to eat together, otherwise I'll feel guilty," Zhang Weiyu said with a frown, he really couldn't eat alone.
"Xiao Si, go and call him. If Grandpa and the others ask, just say I have it on me."
The three younger brothers all understood that their eldest brother was protecting them.
The four of them took out the cakes. Xiao Si went to invite the other two.
So the six of them ate the sweet cake together.
The two of them never ask any questions; as long as the children are well, that's all that matters.
They both looked beautiful as Zhang Hongmei and Zhang Shouyi, a married couple, practiced their cultivation together. They didn't even notice the time, and it wasn't until four in the morning that they finally lay down to rest.
The next day, Zhang Shouyi quietly got up and went to work without eating breakfast.
I was distracted in class today; I still haven't heard anything. I'll go home as soon as I finish my lessons.
Do you have my phone number?
The nannies all shook their heads. This shouldn't be happening at a time like this.
She was worried, while the Roy family's house was brightly lit.
Wyatt maintained his smile; all the heads of the Roy family were present, while Nicholas Roy sat in his wheelchair with a sullen face. He was truly furious about today's scene; this was no longer something to be taken lightly.
