Chapter 229: Is it wrong to dote on my wife?
With the news finally settling and the shock subsiding, Davis pulled Jessica into a deep embrace, pressing a kiss to her lips—a silent declaration of appreciation and acceptance.
Settling beside her, he picked up his phone and ordered room service. Within moments, the meals arrived. They shared a hearty meal which could be regarded as a celebration of the good news.
With careful selection, Jessica avoided a few dishes that had the tendency to make her nauseous.
With her emotions totally rattled today, she felt tired and worn out, barely keeping her eyes open till the end of the meal.
After the meal, Davis summoned Ethan to issue a few quick, urgent instructions regarding matters to be taken care of. "No matter what the cost might be, secure a comfortable apartment for us tonight," he said.
During the course of the meal, his eyes had scanned the hotel suite, and he made a mental note: they needed to relocate to a private residence as soon as possible.
Living in a hotel no longer seemed practical—not for the long haul, not with everything unfolding. The hotel had its own limitations and discomfort. He preferred his wife to settle down in a more comfortable environment.
Ethan stared at him in shock at the instructions. They had returned together in the afternoon after a series of meetings, and he had never mentioned moving out of the hotel.
Besides, they had only used the hotel as a temporary location to crash until the end of the business trip, but seeing him now demanding an apartment—"isn’t that too rash or had something happened?"—he mulled over it while suppressing the urge to question him.
"Sir, the price of securing an urgent apartment at this time might be exorbitant and beyond our budget," he said.
Davis glanced at him lightly. "Exorbitant? I don’t care. Beyond budget? It shouldn’t be a problem to increase the budget, right?" he smirked.
