Huh? That easy a solution? But, something seems wrong!“I feel bad for your father. I’ve only been here for one day. How can it be like that?” Fay still knew shame. She didn’t want to be seen as eating her paycheck without doing her job.“Then do you want to come with us and skip classes for days?” Mike reminded Fay about her studies.“Mommy will just stay here. Grandma will take care of things with daddy. She said she’ll pull daddy’s ears if he doesn’t comply.” Mika laughed as she remembered what her grandmother had said in their room. Such a big daddy would still have his ears pulled if he didn’t obey?Fay scratched her head in confusion. Living here? With that bastard? How dangerous!But never mind! For the time being she would stay at Cade’s apartment like the two kids said while looking for another place to live. She would think about it later.Languidly, Fay finally expressed agreement.“But you guys shouldn’t leave for too long. It’s not very ... comfortable.” Fay did not know
“Mommy, she’s just an employee here. It’s best if you draw a clear line. Don’t give her too much heart.” Cade passed through the living room while loosening his tie. He didn’t glance at Fay at all.“I don’t know what you mean by clear boundaries, Mr. Goldwin Junior. All I know is my grandkids call her mommy. That means she should call me mom.” Laura got up from her seat and chased after Cade who was already moving towards his room.Fay’s sleepiness was suddenly gone. As soon as Cade walked in, she had hurriedly gotten up from her seat on the couch. The man clearly didn’t like her. Now her mother added another reason for Cade to hate Fay even more.Actually, Fay didn’t care about the man’s feelings for her either. In fact, she hated Cade too. It was the circumstances that had forced them to live under the same roof and couldn’t avoid each other.Fay quietly returned to her room. In the hallway she could hear Laura Goldwin’s loud voice scolding Cade, but there was no response from the m
Fay felt a little tense when she heard Laura say that. She tried to relax and enjoy her breakfast. What would Cade’s reaction be?Unexpectedly, Cade looked calm as he raised his face. “No problem. I’m also mostly busy outside and rarely come home. Ms. Willmer can stay in peace.” He even smiled as he looked at his mother. I might not even come home until the kids come back, Cade continued silently. His mother thought he didn’t know the trick that was being played. He’s not a fool!Fay was a little disappointed with Cade’s calmness. He should have shown his refusal.“That’s good!” Laura commented shortly. Mike and Mika listened to the conversation in silence.This was too easy! Too easy meant something was wrong....After breakfast, Mike and Mika said goodbye to Fay. Mrs. Goldwin said that she really wanted to invite Fay to her house one day. Her sincerity frightened the girl.A family driver came to pick them up. Fay went to the parking lot and waved at them all and then went to her
“Mr. Goldwin?!”“Ms. Willmer?!”The two people both exclaimed, then hurriedly widened the distance.“You—why are you here?” “What are you doing here?”The two also asked almost the same thing.“Miss Willmer, this is my apartment. Whatever I do here is none of your business.” Cade had regained control of himself. He looked calm and cold. Like a lake with a surface filled with eternal snow.“Mr. Goldwin, you yourself allowed me to live here. You also promised not to interfere in my personal affairs.” Fay was not to be outdone. Only, she looked more emotional.How could she not be shocked to death? Cade, who in her mind was in the office, had bumped into her here.“Don’t be so big-headed. You think by staying alone with me, you can take advantage of the situation.” Cade smiled sarcastically. “You’re mistaken if you think you can easily climb into my bed.”“What?!” Fay was hysterical at the shameful accusation. “Mr. Goldwin, you’re the one with the big head! You think I’m willing to live
As the two children approached, the girl squatted down until she could clearly see their cute faces.“Hello, call me, Aunt Callie.” Callie, the girl pinched Mika’s adorable cheeks lightly.Mike and Mika had never heard of Callie.“Are you one of daddy’s girlfriends?” Mike stared with a furrowed brow. Looking suspiciously at Callie.The girl giggled. “Why? Don’t you like it when your daddy has a girlfriend?”“Daddy already has mommy.” Mika told her with a displeased face.She thought this girl was just as beautiful as their mommy. Mika was worried that her father would fall in love with her and intend to marry her.“Mommy?” Callie had heard stories about these children. As far as she knew, their mother had passed away.“A nanny girl they call mommy.” Laura Goldwin tried to explain.“Oh. Do you mean to match them up?” Callie thought it was funny. A perfect, swaggering Cade matched with a nanny girl. How their father’s pride would be hurt.Both children nodded. “Anyway, we saw that they
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem? They treated you badly?” Fay spoke in a hurry. Of course she didn’t need to ask that. The twins had an uncanny knack for pulling at anyone’s heartstrings.“Mommy!”“Are you okay?”The loud voices on the other side scrambled to enter Fay’s hearing.“Of course I’m fine. I’ve been fine all this time, too. What do you expect to happen to me? If you’re around, my life will be bad.”On the other side of the line, two children looked at each other. Laura, who was also listening because her cell phone was set to loudspeaker mode, strangely laughed at Fay’s rant. She whispered in Mika’s ear.Mika then spoke to Fay. “Where’s daddy?”“I don’t know. I’m not his nanny.” Why would the boys ask her about their father. Just call the man, what’s the harm?The people on the other side fell silent again It was Mike’s turn to speak. He took over the cell phone in Mika’s hand.“Mommy, daddy didn’t bother you, right? You guys didn’t fight, did you?”“Of course not. You k
From the look on his face, Cade looked unhappy. He glanced at Fay who had finished with her work.“How did you know I was at the apartment?”“I stopped by the company and Langdon said you were home for lunch.”There was an annoyed sigh from Cade. Just now Fay had interrupted his meal. Now his sister had suddenly shown up at his apartment. Why wasn’t anyone letting him calm down?“Wait a minute!” Cade switched off the line and looked at Fay who was also unintentionally turning to him.“What’s wrong? You look like an idiot,” Fay scolded, trying to shake off her momentary fascination. She had thought that Cade was very handsome when he received the call.Cade ignored Fay’s words trying to provoke a scene with him.“My sister is at the door. I want you to stay in your room until he gets home. I don’t want her to see me with you.”“Who wants to be with you? But I’m very hungry right now. I have to cook something.” Fay glanced at the table. Cade seemed to have ordered many types of food.C
“Mommy?!”“Daddy?!”“Did we come home too early?”Voices followed each other.Fay felt her heart leap out of her chest. Aside from their ambiguous position, she was also embarrassed that the two children had caught them.“Get away from me! Get away!” Fay screamed in panic, chaotically clawing and pushing at the huge body that was pressing down on her.Cade rolled to the side and got up from the bed. His shirt was a mess. He winced in pain as his face had been scratched. When he looked at the two kids who had just arrived, he tried to smile and say hello.“Hi, kids. Are you here yet?” That’s when Cade saw his mom leaning against the side of the door. “Mom, it’s not what it looks like.”Cade felt like he had just brought his mom pleasure when he saw the amused smile on the woman’s lips.Fay got out of bed with a red face. Passing by Cade’s guard, she kicked him in the groin.Dug!“Aakh!” Cade groaned in pain. He held his groin and cursed incoherently. Fay didn’t even look at Cade. She
