My Boss My Secret Husband (Hazel and Logan)

Chapter 288

Extra 5: Situation

Unfortunately, the financial problems combined with the lack of rest brought out a cranky, irritable side of Jayden.

"Deborah, don't let them keep crying." he complained while shifting in bed and putting a pillow over his head to muffle the cries and go back to sleep.

Deborah just frowned and said nothing, heading off to check on the twins and tend to them.

Frequently in a bad mood, Jayden sometimes wanted to stay away from his children... something that worried the kids because they had never seen their dad being cold and distant with them.

Elizabeth and James felt hurt by the rejection they were experiencing, but their mom comforted them, saying things would soon change and that, for now, they should forgive their dad because he wasn't himself due to the pressure from work.

The kids felt a bit hurt by their dad's behavior, so they tried to keep their distance and only spent time with their mom, Grandma, and Grandpa Nicholas... since Grandpa Eric was also acting strangely and wasn't his usual self.

Deborah and Samantha tried to keep the mood normal at home, but they were suffering just as much as the kids were because they had to endure their partners' bad tempers.

Of course, things got worse when they found out the company had closed, the employees had been let go, and now they were dismantling the company little by little, selling everything to cover debts.

That morning, Deborah was fed up and tired of the situation, so she decided to take matters into her own hands. She went to find something important among her things and changed her clothes.

"Where are you going all dressed up?" Danielle asked when she saw Deborah enter the twins' room.

"I'm going to fix my husband's life," Deborah said as she carefully moved to kiss her babies on their

foreheads.

"And how are you going to do that?" Max asked.

"You'll see. In the meantime, get changed, Max. You're coming with me, and Danielle, you'll look after the twins."

"Count on me, ma'am," Danielle said.

*1 also need you to support my mother-in-law and watch the kids."

The siblings followed her instructions, and Max went to change so he could go out with his boss.

Deborah went to find her mother-in-law and found her sitting at one of the tables in the garden, silently crying.

She approached to talk to Samantha.

"How are you, Samantha?" Deborah asked, sitting beside her and offering her a tissue to wipe her face. "Oh, sweetie... thank you," Samantha said, taking the tissue to dry her tears. "Well, as you can see... I Chapter 288

honestly don't know... I've never seen Eric act like this before. He yelled at me earlier, but... I know it's not him... it's the pressure of what's happening."

Deborah smiled and hugged Samantha to comfort her, "It's the same with us. I had a fight with Jayden

too, because before he left, he said we should take the twins to my father's so he could sleep through the night since he's exhausted and I'm not helping at all." "What... no, Debbie... sweetie, don't do that," Samantha sald, distressed.

"Don't worry, my kids aren't going anywhere."

"Yes... Ah... You know, with everything that's happening now, I hate that company, and I wish it would disappear," Samantha said, clenching her fists slightly "Calm down, Samantha, I know things will change soon," Deborah assured her.

"I hope so because it hurts me to see how these problems are changing my family for the worse."

"I know, and that's why it's time for me to do something about this situation."

"What? But-"

I'm going out for a while, and I'd like to ask for your help in looking after the twins with Danielle."

"Huh? Oh, yes, of course, sweetle. But where are you going?"

"Like I said, I'm going to put an end to this because it's not fair what those people are doing by directly attacking our family's business. Because of them, our husbands are suffering and it's hurting the family." "But what are you going to do?"

"That's a secret, but I promise things will change from now on," Deborah declared as she turned to head to the house entrance, where Max already had the car ready.

"Be careful, sweetie," Samantha said as she saw her get into the car and wave goodbye.

"Come on, ma'am, let's get you to relax a little before the little ones call for us," Danielle said as they went inside the house, trying to cheer up Samantha since she didn't like seeing latter sad. "Let's get ready to welcome your grandchildren when they come back from school." "Thanks, Danielle," Samantha was happy to see she had her support.

Meanwhile, Max was looking at the scenery through the vehicle window, feeling a bit curious about what his boss was planning to do to help with the company's problem.

"So, where are we going?" he asked, noticing they were leaving the city.

"First, I need to find out who our enemy is and why they're acting this way," she declared while driving." That's why we're going to the only place I know I'll get those answers quickly," she said, noticing they had arrived at their destination.

Max was a bit worried but was ready to protect his boss because he saw they had arrived at the docks.

As they moved slowly, he noticed several men start to surround the vehicle, eventually blocking their path. They drew their weapons from their clothes and pointed them at the new arrivals.
