Abigail Bernstein was a quiet and obedient girl who seldom say NO to her father’s decisions. Even when it’s about her marriage.
To save their family’s company out of bankruptcy, her father arranged her to marry Diarmuid Althoff, the grandson of a billionaire. But on their wedding day, the groom did not appear. Abigail was disappointed but could do nothing about it.
Alone and boring on wedding night, Abigail accepted to replace her colleague’s shift. At her workplace, the hospital, she saved a wounded man being hunted down by gangsters, and made out with this stranger to blow off steam.
The stranger, however, turned out to be her husband that did not show up at the altar.
“It’s fine.” Erin smiled. “You spoil him too much,” Abigail told her disapprovingly. Erin simply shrugged. Tommy took her to the fish pond, where there were several imported species of fish swimming around. Tommy liked them, and Erin found them interesting too and fed them. “Things are peaceful here,” Lulu said as she watched them.…
Meanwhile, Lulu picked up her phone again, staring determinedly but coolly at the screen. She decided to answer if Zachary called again. However, just as she was about to go to take a bath, a call came from Abigail. “Hello?” Lulu hesitated for a while but answered with her raspy voice-her voice had changed a…
Zachary’s hands were shaking even as he slowly moved toward her. Could it be her? No way! How could it be? Was it not over between them? “Hello, Mr. Slate.” Lulu finally turned and greeted him when they were just a few feet away. “Weren’t we going to have a discussion? Please, feel free to…
An adult should have been able to tell that a baby was having a fever, even if they were not a professional childcare worker. He blamed himself for not noticing! Zachary snapped grumpily at Erma even as he picked up his suit. “Pack up your things and leave. I don’t need you here!” Then, turning…
Seeing her pink blush, he promptly threw the document away. “I’ve been waiting for you for an hour, and you finally come to seduce me now?” With those words, Diarmuid reached out and pulled Abigail by the waist. “Ow…” She gasped in surprise and felt his lips on hers before she could continue. Then, vaguely…
Lulu could not fall asleep that night. Seeing that the clock was pointing at 4 AM and there was light outside, she slowly got up and went to take a bath. She then put on a face mask-not a skincare product, but a medical item that improved skin growth. It was helping the recovery of…
And since Zachary had a meeting in the morning and had to wake up for it it the basically slept just an hour. At the moment, he was left wondering if the woman on the m screen was just that good a nanny or was Luna’s mother. It took him hours to coax Luna to…
“Yes, yes, we have been speaking out of turn. We’ll go back to work right away,” one of the ladies said as they started to hurry off. “Hold it.” Vivian stopped them right then. “Mr. Slate is your boss and deserves your respect. I don’t want anyone discussing his private life behind his back!” The…
In fact, it was not surprising to Vivian now that she found Erma in a heated argument against her previous employer-the woman was a real villain! Still, Vivian gritted her teeth and sneered. “Fine-wait outside the maid agency where we met at noon, and you will have your money!” Erma was certainly pleased. “How I’ll…
It was not easy for her to get away from that place, and now, Vivian was forcing her to go back?! “Ms. Crowe,” she said, gulping. “That woman is just a nanny. Mr. Slate loves and cares most for his daughter, so you should work on his daughter instead if you want him-“ Before she…
