Sheena quickly tucked her phone away and turned to see Nathaniel walking toward her from the elevator.
She smiled. Her tone was natural as she replied, "A female employee from the Lawson Group recently gave birth and is dealing with some family issues. She just wanted to get some advice from me."
Nathaniel did not see what was on her phone screen but responded with a casual smile, "When it comes to building a family, conflicts are unavoidable."
Sheena nodded in agreement. "Yes, it's all about mutual understanding to make things work. Her husband didn't initially care for her and wasn't supportive of her having a child. He even had an affair. Now that the baby is here, he's slowly improving his attitude toward the child, but she's lost faith in him and doubts he'll continue to be supportive."
Nathaniel had his own perspective on the matter.
"If her husband wasn't ready for a new life, she should have carefully considered having the baby. While his behavior with the affair was wrong, if he's showing remorse and wants to treat the family better, he deserves another chance."
Even the law would give non–serious offenders a chance to reform.
A family definitely deserved the same consideration.
Sheena was slightly taken aback.
There was no absolute right or wrong in such situations, and Nathaniel's viewpoint was certainly worth considering.
However, as an observer, she could only understand so much of the pain involved, and only those directly involved knew the full extent.
She smiled warmly at Nathaniel. "You make a good point. I'll discuss it with my employee. By the way, why are you down here? Aren't you watching Callum?"
Nathaniel reached into his pocket, pulled out a blue crystal earring, and handed it to her.
"You left this in my office, so I brought it down for you."
Sheena touched her right earlobe and noticed it was indeed empty.
"I must've dropped the earring when I was rushing earlier. You didn't have to come down here yourself. Tommy could've brought it to me, or you could've kept it until I came by next time."
Nathaniel simply smiled. "I would never pass your things to someone else. I was worried you might not find it and get anxious, so I brought it right away."
Sheena accepted the blue crystal earring from his hand and put it on.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
