Become a mother in one night Chapter 27
Michelle truly wanted to wander around, window shop, and perhaps make a few purchases. However, the prospect of doing so with Eleanor made her reconsider. It wasn’t just the apparent generational gap between them; the mere fact that Eleanor was Alex's biological mother gave Michelle chills. Michelle had once lived with the Ye family and, although her understanding of Eleanor was rather superficial, she knew that Eleanor was a homebody. The older woman rarely stepped out, preferring to have her needs delivered to her doorstep, leading what Michelle deemed a rather dull life. Yet, for such a woman who seldom left her comfort zone, Michelle felt nothing good would come from their sudden rendezvous. Detecting Michelle's reluctance, Eleanor looked at her, the curve of her lips painting a perfect smile, yet her eyes betrayed little warmth. Michelle hesitated, but eventually yielded. There was something about Eleanor’s almost mocking smile that intimidated her. She always had this lingerin

Michelle received the document sent by Leonard and quickly responded. Michelle: Alright, I'll take a look now. Please hold on for a moment. She opened the electronic version of the service contract, methodically reading from the beginning to the end. Once she had gone through the entire document, she closed it expressionlessly. Did they think she had never signed a legitimate contract before? Or perhaps they believed she was inexperienced? The quoted price was outrageously low! Moreover, the task requirements set out were utterly unreasonable! Given the rate specified in the contract, Michelle would rather freelance, occasionally taking on some additional tasks in her free time. While she was initially angered, she quickly composed herself. After all, it wasn’t Leonard who had decided on the contract's contents; it was NexRealm Studios. Guided by the principle of considering both parties' perspectives while ensuring she wasn't at a disadvantage, Michelle made some revisions to t

Alex, in a rare moment, found himself lost in a deep, contemplative silence. After what felt like an eternity, he gave a faint acknowledgment to Derek, signaling his understanding of the situation. Without even sparing a glance in Derek's direction, he simply said, "That's all for now. You can leave." Relieved that Alex hadn't expressed any grievances toward NexRealm Studios, Derek took advantage of his boss's seemingly calm demeanor and quickly exited the office. However, not ten minutes had passed when Derek was summoned back. On the outside, he maintained a composed appearance, but internally, his heart raced with apprehension as he entered Alex's office. "Damn," Derek thought, "I haven't been with NexRealm Studios for years. Don't pin their spending on me." With a nervous stride, Derek approached Alex's desk, eyes darting towards the man seated behind it. Alex looked up, his instructions concise. "Get the documentation from Leonard regarding the work of the new strategist." D

Lizzy was a child easily pleased, especially by Michelle. Whenever Michelle would coax or compliment her, even if it was done in a perfunctory manner, Lizzy would be overjoyed. This left Alex with a hint of envy. Michelle patiently explained to the child her need to work, and although Lizzy was initially quite upset, she was eventually pacified by Michelle's assurances. Once Lizzy was appeased, Michelle could finally focus her energy on her job. Leonard had mentioned that Michelle didn't need to keep regular office hours, but occasionally she still had to visit NexRealm Studios. Because they hadn't previously signed any agreement, Leonard had been unable to disclose project details to Michelle. Now with a contract in place, to leverage Michelle's skills and hasten the project's progress, Leonard provided her a detailed introduction to the project, "Starpath". "Starpath" was the third collaboration between Brandon and NexRealm Studios. Set in a distant starry future where deities

In truth, Michelle held no particular fondness for Brandon. From her work perspective, he might just be another superior poised to overshadow her. In the context of their industry, Michelle held in low regard authors who abandoned their projects midway. Although her bosses were some of those very authors, it didn't prevent her from looking down on them as peers. Faced with Brandon's kind offer, Michelle politely declined. Michelle responded, "Thank you, but someone is picking me up." Brandon felt a pang of disappointment. Still, he sought another opportunity to spend time alone with her. "Maybe next time I could treat you to coffee?" he offered with a benign smile, adding, "We can discuss the game's storyline in the process." Michelle had intended to refuse, but when Brandon brought up work as a reason, she found herself cornered. "Alright then," she relented with a smile. Brandon then successfully added Michelle on W******p. Once Michelle had left, Leonard shot Brandon a look t

The next day, as per usual, Alex came to Michelle's house for breakfast. Michelle glanced up at him, noticing the weary look on his face, seemingly from a restless night. Her gaze then shifted to the child beside him, who wore the same gloomy expression. Michelle thought to herself, "Like father, like daughter." Though she mentally joked about their similarities, Michelle still expressed concern towards the child's father. Looking at Alex with eyes filled with a mix of care and worry, she asked, "Mr. Ye, did you not sleep well last night?" Alex took a seat across from her. He met her gaze for a brief moment, his expression neutral, before his attention seemed to wander elsewhere. In a soft voice, he merely replied with a noncommittal hum, not offering any further explanation. Seeing that he wasn't keen on continuing the conversation, Michelle didn't press any further. After all, she wasn't genuinely concerned about him. She turned her attention to the gloomy-looking child and asked
