Callie couldn’t help but laugh. It was obvious the kids didn’t like Pricilla. It was the same as saying, ‘I want you guys to break up.’Pricilla looked fiercely at Callie “What are you laughing at?”“Huh, me? Didn’t you watch the show?” Callie pretended not to understand where she went wrong. She instead pointed at the television which was showing a cartoon movie.Pricilla was speechless for a moment. She was sure Callie was laughing at her. Now she felt ignored again. Even Mike, who had asked her a question earlier, no longer cared whether Pricilla would answer him or not. Instead, he joined Callie and Mika in watching television.Pricilla’s awkward position was helped when Mrs. Smith came and invited everyone to lunch. She declined the invitation because she was going to the company for lunch with Cade.Callie thought it was ridiculous that this girl was still trying to appear that her relationship with Cade was okay. But it was the children who pouted when Pricilla left.Seeing th
“If you lose, the kids will sleep with you for as long as they like.”Mike and Mika cheered. “Yeay, I love Daddy!” Mika hugged Cade followed by Mike who had also sat next to her.Fay looked disgustedly at the father and two children.“It doesn’t matter what you ask. I’ll win anyway. Don’t cry if you lose your car tonight.” Fay couldn’t bear to look at the piece of steak in front of her. “Let’s go!”Mika counted for them. At three, Fay ate the steak directly with her hands even though there was a knife and fork. Cade fought back nausea at the way Fay ate. She sliced the meat into slightly larger pieces than usual and started eating it.Fay ate like she was possessed. Like a hungry demon had entered her. The sound of her chewing made Cade’s head spin.“The rules—“ Cade cut again with the knife and stabbed with the fork. “Whoever finishes the most pieces wins.”“I know,” Fay said after swallowing the first piece. She picked up the next piece and looked down at Cade who had yet to finish
Cade ignored Fay's guess about last night and continued his steps outside. Fay, who was not satisfied with Cade's reaction, followed him to the elevator."Boy, I didn't think the great Mr. Goldwin couldn't stand the sight of someone throwing up." Fay started making fun of Cade. When he got into the elevator she joined him and stood next to him."What would people say if they found out you were that weak? I'm sure the press would love to write about it. It's not often you get a funny story about a Goldwin family member, is it?" Fay found that funny, if not downright embarrassing.Cade's face grew grim. No girl was as smart as his nanny when it came to making fun. The man faced Fay who stood next to him, narrowing the distance between them. Fay reflexively backed away. Cade braced one hand against the elevator wall at her side."I don't know what it is you're always messing with me about, Miss Willmer. Is it one of your tricks to get my attention?" Cade said that while looking down he
Of course, the person who reprimanded them was Kevin. Who else would it be? And how embarrassing would it be to talk about someone and be overheard?"Kevin?!" A startled Callie and Fay called out in unison.The young man, Kevin, laughed at the two girls who seemed surprised by his arrival. Callie looked embarrassed. As for Fay, her shocked expression turned cheerful. She didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed at being heard talking about Kevin."Hello, Kevin. It's true what Callie said. You look cooler after two years," Fay greeted the young man.Callie winced at Fay's remark. When did she say that?"Really? What do you think?" Kevin sat next to Fay. Kevin did look different in his expensive suit. Fay used to only see this young man in a T-shirt and shirt every day. Clothes can make a person's appearance change."Not bad." Kevin furrowed his brows, feeling dissatisfied. "Just fine?"Fay nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at the bait, much to Kevin's amusement."I've seen even
Fay nodded casually in response. Not caring at all about the way the two were looking."Are you guys dating?" Now it was Mika who asked. The little girl looked curious.Fay chuckled at the question. "Of course not. Isn't it okay to have lunch with a friend?"Both children were still dissatisfied with Fay's answer. They were still staring at Fay with both pairs of eyes that occasionally blinked playfully. "Don't believe me? Whatever." Fay got up from her seat and went to the room.The two children looked at each other."Do you think mommy has a boyfriend?" Mika asked her brother.Mike pursed his lips and didn't answer. He seemed to be seriously thinking."I think that guy named Kevin likes mommy. Look at how he calls to make sure that Mommy has arrived safely." Mika shared her analysis."I think so too." Mike agreed."And it looks like they have an appointment the day after tomorrow. Mike, let's tell Daddy. Whoever that person is, we can't let him near mommy." "But Daddy won't care."
"Daddy, you have to do something to cancel dinner." Mike looked worried about something.Next to him, Mika nodded in support.Cade raised his eyebrows. "I told you not to interfere with Miss Willmer's business."Cade felt he had to maintain his dignity in front of Fay. "Daddy, you don't know what you're missing. You're going to regret it." Mika looked annoyed. The boy walked out of Cade's office stomping his feet.Meanwhile, Mike gave his father a fierce look. He didn't say anything as he followed his brother outside. Cade who was left alone was only stunned at the reaction of his rejection. ***The next day, another day passed as usual. It was already time for Fay to go to dinner with Kevin. In the afternoon, Fay was already grooming herself in front of the mirror. The knee-length white dress Kevin gave her to fit her body perfectly. The simple but comfortable model made Fay look softer.After fixing her hair in a simple pigtail, Fay looked at herself in the mirror and blinked he
Fay thought she was hallucinating. So, she ignored the voice. Didn't try to look for it. Although she wondered for a while. Why did those little voices come to this place?"Mommy!" A small hand touched Fay's arm.Fay jumped in surprise. Her hand nudged the vase. Fortunately, it didn't roll down.Beside the table stood two twins. Their faces looked happy. Also relieved."Mike? Mika? Why are you guys here?" Fay's exclamation caught the attention of the other visitors.Kevin frowned. This pair of similar-looking kids calling Fay 'mommy' made him feel uncomfortable."Mommy?" Kevin looked at Fay with curiosity."They are—“Before Fay could answer, Mike quickly introduced himself. "Hello, Mr. Blair. I'm Mike. And this is my sister Mika. We are Mommy's kids."Fay didn't know what to say. She looked miserable. People who heard Mike's explanation would think that Fay was married.Just then a man approached them, stopping behind Mike and Mika."Ms. Willmer is my children's nanny. They used to c
How can there be a strange woman in this apartment? Did Cade bring his girlfriend home?What a shameless man! Fay cursed inwardly.The woman felt she was being watched. She looked at Fay as she closed the refrigerator door. Now only the light from outside the kitchen coming through the door allowed Fay to see the woman a little. Unfortunately, her face was not visible.The person also couldn't see Fay's face because of the girl's position that turned her back to the light."Who are you?" A girl's voice. Sounded familiar to Fay's ears. She recognized her. But how could she be here?Fay reached for the switch and turned on the light. The kitchen was lit up instantly."Fay?!""Callie?!""Why are you here?!" The two girls exclaimed together in utter shock.They pointed at each other wide-eyed."Are you Cade Goldwin's girlfriend?!" Fay guessed in disbelief. That was the only thing going through her head."Don't tell me you're the mysterious nanny?" Callie asked in an equally loud voice.
