To the Love of My Life

Chapter 719: Chapter 719: I Have Triplets (9)
 

“Mr. Steve Burton, wasn’t it you who just said I should rest well and not work too late? Look at me now, in the middle of the night, still working overtime. Are you okay with dumping all your work on me?”

“Indeed, I should feel bad.” Steve said apologetically, but his words were devoid of any guilt. The corner of his mouth was twitching up in amusement as he spoke languidly in a helpless tone, “But what can I do? I am a father of triplets, after all!”

Before Russell Henris could react, he bluntly ended the call.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Russell gritted his teeth and spat out a curse. Just because he had triplets, did he get to be so willful?

After ending the call with Russell, Steve dials Edward Woods. It seemed like Edward was already asleep, his voice muffled, “Bro, why are you calling so late?”

He had just stated it once, but restating it still brought a certain joy to Steve. “Edward, did you know that Ruby Gregory recently gave birth to triplets? Those are my children.”

“What?” Edward was taken aback, and not getting a chance to speak further, Steve continued slowly: “Edward, could you take over all my meetings and schedules the day after tomorrow?. He sounded somewhat troubled when saying this, but his words seemingly more boastful, “You know, I have triplets, so I’m tied up. However, I doubt that you could understand the troubles of having triplets.”

Just like before, Steve hung up without waiting for Edward’s response. He then called Madeleine, using his “I have triplets” excuse to delegate all of his schedules and meetings for the day after tomorrow to her.

At last, Steve gave Howard Coleman a call. It seemed like Howard was out enjoying the nightlife. Steve seemed to be getting addicted to his “I have triplets” excuse, not feeling the slightest bit of shame as he delegated his meetings and schedules for the third day onwards to Howard. After delegating his tasks, Steve heard a woman’s flirty voice from Howard’s end of the line: “Mr. Coleman…”

Steve’s brows knitted together slightly, and he couldn’t help but chide Howard: “Howard, you’re already married to Madeleine. Be more mindful and don’t go overboard…” He then had a sudden thought mid-sentence, “Howard, it seems to me like you’re quite free, spending all your time at nightclubs. Well then, starting from the day after tomorrow, how about you take over all my responsibilities for the next half month?”

“Bro, didn’t we agree it was only for one day? Why did it change to half a month?”

“It’s not half a month, it’s sixteen days. Howard, I’m doing this for your own good, letting you rest and recuperate. The body is something you need to be thrifty with. Who knows, maybe you could also have triplets… But, I think that might be a bit difficult for you. After all, not everyone is like me…” Steve couldn’t help but feel admiration for himself, completely ignoring Howard’s yells from the other end of the line and abruptly ending the call.

PS: That’s the fourteenth update for today! I also uploaded two chapters last night, not missing a single update. “I have triplets,” using this excuse to rope his friends into his problems, do you really feel good about this, Steve?
