You And Me Against The World | ✅

Chapter 90

We still don't know where Edward is hiding. It almost seems like he was swallowed by the city. Somebody must have helped him before and might still do it now. I can't shake the feeling that that someone is Marcus Eaton. However, I don't have any proof so I can't go around accusing him. I've been reading the files on Edward and Drake over and over again. I also read Myra's book hoping I might find a clue, but so far everything seems futile.

I'm currently sitting in my office talking to Connor about the upcoming Halloween party. Nothing too serious since the girls offered to organize everything just like last year. I think Christina loves it so much she would do it for free, but Tobias and I decided to reward her with a point bonus for her hard and good work. Connor and I just go over the final details, which translates in money spend.

„You excited about the party?" he asks me.

„Yeah, I am, actually. It's nice to just let go of everything and enjoy my time with my friends," I say smiling.

„Yeah. And next year you'll go Trick or Treating with the little one," he says with a chuckle.

„I haven't even thought of that," I say leaning back into my chair. A knock on my door announces a visitor. „Come in," I say. The door opens and to my delight it's my dear husband. „Oh, what a surprise. What have I done to deserve such an honor?" I ask teasingly. Tobias rolls his eyes and steps closer to my desk. Connor extends his hand and the two men shake hands.

„Hello, Connor," Tobias says and walks over to place a soft kiss on my forehead. „Hey, my adorable wife," he says.

„Should I go?" Connor asks with a chuckle.

„Yes," Tobias says smirking.

„No," I say. I look at Tobias with a questioning look.

„No, don't go. I just wanted to mess with Tris," he says. I punch him lightly in the rib and he pretends to be hurt. „Ow."

„Oh, shut up, Four," I say and smile.

„So, what have you two been doing here?" he asks looking over the paperwork. When he sees the balance to our finances he grimaces.

„What? We haven't spent that much," I say not understanding why he would be upset.

„No, it's not that, babe. It's, ugh, I hate these end of year balances."

„Me too, but with some help from Erudite we have now a better accounting program," Connor says.

„Still. You and your wife coming to the party later?" Tobias asks.

„Yeah. First, we'll go with the kids Trick or Treating and then we'll leave them with my mother and join you."

„Are you coming in costumes or casual?" I ask.

„Costumes. What about you guys?" Connor asks us.

„Semi-costume," Tobias says and Connor raises his eyebrows in confusion.

„Means we'll be wearing comfy clothes, since I'm pregnant and he shows his support," I say rolling my eyes.

„Well, I'm a supportive guy," Tobias says and Connor laughs lightly.

„Okay. I should get going," he says. „See you later, guys." Connor leaves me and Tobias alone and Tobias pulls me up into his arms.

„I've missed you," he says placing a soft kiss on my lips.

„I've missed you too," I say wrapping my arms around his waist and resting my head on his chest.

„You done for today?" he asks.
