Revenge After Divorce by Black Rose

Chapter 229 MARCUS "Why are you still not doing what I asked? The boss has been on edge, and you're still delaying things. Do you want to be fired, is that it?" Steve's voice was sharp with frustration.

"It's not that, Steve, but we can't rush these things. There are permits we need to get, and those things don't happen overnight. You only told us about this on Tuesday, did you think everything would be wrapped up in just a couple of days?" My legal team was doing their best to manage, but I could tell they were feeling the pressure.

I had just arrived in London after finalizing the deal on the house.

"You don't have to put so much pressure on them, Steve," said, trying to ease the tension. "I just want things to be at least clear by the end of the month. I want to be there myself to check the locations. That should be enough tto get the permits, right?" I asked the legal team.

"We can't be sure, sir. Their laws are different from ours, and we don't know how long a process like this will take," one of them replied, offering excuses I wasn't interested in hearing.

"Then book a flight and go there," I said, my tone firm. "Take whoever you need, take Steve if you want. Hire locals when you get there. Make it happen." I turned and headed to my office, the weight of my responsibilities pressing on me. I needed to join my family soon; I couldn't afford to take too long. My kids were growing without me, and my wife... I shook my head, trying to push the thought aside.

I powered up my computer, ready to dive into work. Just as was about to start, my phone pinged. I reached for it on my desk and checked. My heart skipped a beat when I saw it was from Nick. I quickly opened the email on my laptop. Attached were two pictures of my wife feeding our daughter.

Another picture followed, showing Olivia with both kids. Samuel wore a smile on his face, gazing fondly at the baby. My heart warmed. The email read: "She named her Lilly. She said she was her little flower." Lilly. My baby finally had a name, a beautiful one.

I spent several minutes just staring at the pictures. It would have been better if they were hwith knew I had to be patient. Persevere. Everything would be fine.

"Steve! Get in here!" I called out. It was tto make sure all those men were working hard.

I needed to bring my family home.

Steve rushed into my office. "Sir?" I glanced at the picture on my screen, which I had set as my wallpaper. "Chere." me, but I Steve walked around my desk and looked at the photo. He smiled when he saw it. "Is that the new addition to the Walker family?" I nodded. "She, all of them, are the reason I have to get to Asia. I need to bring them home." Steve's smile faded, and he frowned. "Speak freely." He moved back around and stood in front of me, arms crossed.

"I don't understand what bringing them hhas to do with Asia. You could just take the jet and go get them. Why go through all this trouble?" I sighed, wishing things were that simple. I wished I could just get on the jet and go pick them up. But it wasn't +25 BONUS Chapter 229 that easy.

"It's not that simple, Steve. We men mess up sometimes. I did too, not intentionally, of course, but I still made my mistakes. Now my wife is gone with my kids. All I know is they are somewhere in Asia. She said she needed time, but I don't think I can wait too long. I don't know how long they'll be away for." I sighed and pushed my chair back, walking over to the window. London looked beautiful, but the dull weather only deepened my mood. It mirrored my state of mind. "Going to Asia is my way of keeping myself sane and trying to find them." I turned to Steve. "Do you understand now?" He nodded. “I understand, sir. I hope everything works out for you. I'll go ahead and book flights to Asia. Expect good news in a week, us being there." That was what I appreciated about Steve, his reliability. He left, and I returned to my computer, staring at the picture of my family on the screen.

I picked up my phone and dialled Nick's number. It rang for a while, and just as I was about to end the call, he picked up.

"Marcus." "Thank you for the pictures, man. I really appreciate it." "I'm just keeping the promise I made." I nodded, even though he couldn't see me. "Did you give her the letter?" "I did."

I sighed, not sure how to continue. I had a lot to say, but not to him, to bony her.

"You don't want to talk to me, She's the one you want to you? Another sigh escaped me.

"Listen," Nick said, his voice becoming quieter.

Then I heard Olivia's and Samuel's voices on the line.

"Mom, put her on my chest. I want to hold her too." That was Samuel.

"

"She's still so small, baby, but I promise, when she's older, I'll let you hold her and play with her whenever En.

you want." That was Olivia.

I listened in silence, hearing their voices fade into the background.
