“Then…”
“I’ve actually been doing some thinking while I’m lying here, om specifically on how to stay by Jean’s side Lulu added and looked up at
Abigail. “Now, I have an idea.” The content is on
Abigail got it too-after changing her face, Lulu could stay with Jean as another person without Zachary recognizing her!
Mothers were strong, and Abigail understood where Lulu was coming from.
Since Lulu had no chance with
Zachary, the only attachment she had was her daughter-the verym reason she lived or was willing to live. “I’m taking you to Franconia,” Abigail told her. “Once you’re better, we’ll get Zachary to come back. You’ll be
Jean’s nanny and always be at her side.”
Lulu smiled and nodded-it had been a while since Abigail had seen her do that.
Still, Abigail was pleased to see Lulu’s condition improving, which allowed them to return to Franconia sooner!
Once all the arrangements were made, they left three days later. Lulu’s face was swelling a little as they boarded the flight to Franconia, as she had yet to fully recover.
Still, seeing Abigail staying with her and caring for her meticulously, Lulu teased, “Are you taking me for a child now? Doesn’t it tire you, staring at me constantly?” Abigail shook her head. “What do you mean tired? I’m not doing anything.”
Lulu held her hand. “You did nothing after running around and doing everything to help? Your husband’s going to be sad seeing you work so hard… or more precisely, letting me work you so hard.”
Abigail was speechless for a moment, but smiled. “You’ve really recovered well- you can even tease me now.”
Lulu sighed. “There are times I felt like my experiences were just a dream, but seeing my face reminds me that it’s all real.”
“It’s in the past,” Abigail told her. “Things will get better from now on.” “Right. Have you found a training center for me yet?” Lulu asked.” Abigail nodded, assuring her, “Yes, don’t worry,”
Lulu nodded. “I’m not worried. Not with you around.”
She would make a full recovery in a couple weeks, after which she would study the knowledge and skills to become a nanny.
“I’ll study with you,” Abigail said.
Lulu gave her a look. “Isn’t it too late? Both your children are quite old now.”
“Nope. Baby is still a toddler!” Abigail pointed out.
“That’s playing favorites,” Lulu pointed out. “You had no intention to study that for Tommy.”
James and Diarmuid were on hand to receive them after they arrived at Franoncia.
Lulu was still feeling reclusive, so they took her straight to her lodgings without much fanfare. She had a maid to take care of her while she recovered, and the other arrangements were in place.
When Abigail returned to the castle, however, she saw that Erin was there and had cooked them dinner.
Her cheeks were a lively red, and she was softly radiant-life with James must be good as he had almost fully recovered now.
Love truly heals after the trauma Erin went through, it was thanks to James that she had now fully recovered to live normally.
Still, as Abigail headed into the kitchen to help, Erin chased her out. “You should be getting a shower to refresh yourself after the long journey. I can handle things here, and there are hired chefs even if I fail. Go on, you don’t have anything to worry about here!”
Abigail certainly agreed that she had to relax as she was pushed outside. “Okay, then I’m going upstairs.”
“Go on.” Erin smiled.
When Abigail arrived at the master bedroom, she saw that there was a warm petal bath ready, along with towels and other bath items.
She blinked-who prepared this?
She asked a servant, and it turned out to be Erin.
Diarmuid noticed her amused smile as he entered. “What’s that smile for?” Abigail pointed at the bathroom. “See for yourself.”
He did and raised a brow but said nothing-the look on his face made it clear that he found it trivial.
“You prepared all that, right?” Abigail said, teasing him deliberately.
“I’m not that childish.” Diarmuid snorted.
“That’s not childish-it’s romantic,”
Abigail retorted right away. “And since it wasn’t you, guess you’re just not that romantic.”
Diarmuid pulled her into his arms right then. “How should I prove that I’m d prove! romantic? Perhaps 1 should bathe with you to prove myself?” The content is on
Abigail was speechless. “No, I know you’re hopelessly romantic and you’re the best. Let me go-I need a shower.”
Diarmuid refused and breathed into her ear, “Say it again.”
Abigail flushed right then. “W-What are you talking about?”
It was obvious that Abigail had the idea, but Diarmuid simply smiled at her without telling her.
Feeling the creeps, Abigail snapped, “Why are you smiling?”
Diarmuid released her then and said, “Go. Take your bath.”
Abigail refused-she had to get to the bottom of this. “That smile feels malicious.”
The more she wanted to know, the more Diarmuid was inclined to keep quiet just to mess with her.
With that, she grumpily shoved him away and walked straight inside the bathroom.
Everyone was overjoyed when Erin announced her pregnancy during dinner.
“That’s great news!” Abigail was earnestly happy for her-it was not easy for Erin’s relationship with James to blossom and to have a child now too.
“I’m going to have a cousin?” Tommy asked, touching Erin’s belly just then. “Is the baby a girl, Aunt Erin?”
He certainly preferred that.
Erin told him, “Who knows. The baby might be a boy.”
Tommy was a little depressed at that. “I’d rather have a sister. I already have a brother.”
Baby had no idea what he was saying and imitated him. “Sister…” Sheryl wiped his drooling mouth. “You want a sister too?”
Baby smiled, baring his little white teeth. “Sister.”
“You shouldn’t work yourself too hard from now on,” Abigail told Erin just then-she should be more careful now that she was pregnant.
“It’s alright,” Erin told her. “I’m fine.”
“Just in case,” James said.
Erin shyly lowered her head.
As Abigail and Erin had a chat in the garden after dinner, Erin was constantly smiling and obviously very happy.
“James is a good man,” she said.
Abigail smiled in turn-James certainly was, and their marriage must be amicable.
They were certainly going strong given Erin’s comment, not to mention that James was still injured when they married… and now Erin was pregnant.
Abigail glanced at her belly. “I’ll have a great present waiting when your baby comes.”
Erin grinned. “You should have another one too, Abigail.”
