Chapter 901

April was already his favorite, and now she had given him a son; there was no way Vincent would treat her poorly. He had given April almost all the private funds he had saved for years, enough for her and their son to live in the lap of luxury for the rest of their lives.

"Vincent, nothing will happen to you. You have to watch our son grow up with me," April said, her voice choked with emotion as she hugged him tightly.

"Okay, I know. I won't let anything happen to me," Vincent said, gently patting her back before he left.

Yvonne was nearly four months pregnant, the most stable period of her pregnancy. She hadn't taken on any work, spending her days resting at Cherry Bay. When Bennett wasn't busy, he would accompany her on walks along the river.

Emma would visit every few days, bringing nourishing supplements and, more recently, baby clothes and toys. Teresa knew her place and didn't disturb Yvonne, only calling occasionally to check in.

Sandra Garcia would also come by sometimes to chat with Yvonne, but Sandra was too busy with work. She managed both the company and its artists, leaving her with very little free time.

Yvonne felt like she was going to grow mold from being cooped up at home every day.

Bennett knew she was bored at home alone, so when the Thompson Group organized a corporate retreat, he took Yvonne with him.

The Thompson Group organized a retreat every year.

However, with so many employees, the subsidiaries usually organized their own internal events. For the head office, only subsidiary managers, directors and above from the main company, and company shareholders were qualified to attend.

The retreat was held on a private island.

It was a private island owned by the Thompson family and not open to the public. Usually, only maintenance and security staff were on the island.

The island only came to life during corporate retreats or when the Thompsons went there for vacation.

This trip was only for a few days, because Yvonne was pregnant,

n had packed severaldarne

suitcases, looking as if she wanted to pack herself into one of them too.

The private island was some distance away. They first drove to the pier, then boarded the Thompson family's private yacht. The yacht sailed for nearly three hours before reaching the island.

Yvonne and Bennett arrived relatively early, before most of the other guests.

Noah and Cynthia were already there, and Noah had brought Nicola with him.

Before his divorce from Karina, Noah always brought Nicola to the annual corporate retreat.

Now that they were divorced, not bringing Nicola might make her feel that her father didn't love her anymore after the split.

But having Noah and Cynthia together with Nicola was also quite awkward.

Nicola might not like her

stepmother, Cynthia, and Cynthia,

being pregnant, certainly wouldn't

have the energy to goddle her"

husband's daughter from a previous marriage.

Yvonne couldn't help but whisper to Bennett, "What is Noah thinking, bringing Nicola

here? Cynthia's pregnant too. Isn't he worried about causing her stress?"

Bennett didn't approve of Noah's decision either, but since he was his cousin, Bennett could only say helplessly, "Noah has always doted on Nicola."

Yvonne scoffed lightly at that, saying nothing more.

Noah and Karina's relationship had been bad, but Nicola was his own flesh and blood, so it was natural to spoil her.

But if Noah wanted to spoil his child, he could do it anytime. He didn't have to put his ex-wife's child and his current wife together like this.
