"If it weren't for the kids wanting Miss Willmer to live here, I would never have let her set foot in apartment." Cade's voice sounded cold.
It wasn't the answer Laura wanted. It had nothing to do with it. But she didn't want to argue at the moment.The kids put down their spoons almost simultaneously. Their faces looked annoyed. But they still stubbornly didn't want to talk to their father."Mike. Mika. You guys ate very little." Laura reprimanded helplessly. She noticed the two had only eaten a few spoons."I suddenly feel full," Mike said. The corner of his eye glanced fiercely at Cade.The boy got out of his chair and left the dining table first."It's so stuffy in here anyway." Mika chimed in while fanning her face with her hands. She followed her brother away.It was just an excuse, Laura knew. The woman shook her head sadly. She glanced at Cade who seemed unmoved and became unable to contain his anger.""So, Miss Willmer. Do you think you can climb up in the Blair family by becoming my son's secretary?" Susan Blair no longer tried to make small talk.Fay had expected to face a tougher attack from the Blair matron."Madame is very considerate of me. I should be grateful." Fay quipped with a smile still gracing her lips.Susan snorted in annoyance. She had never met such a shameless young girl."I've seen many young girls. You are the most disgusting. Don't ever expect to be part of the Blair family. You don't deserve it and never will." Susan's tone was sharp and piercing.No one would be able to face her without getting hurt.Fay was not spared from her stabs. Especially lately she had become quite sensitive about her social status. It was also what made her leave Cade's place and give up a comfortable life as the twins' nanny.But Fay is certainly not going to let herself be bullied easily. She would not let her enemy win without a fight."Don't overdo it, ma'am. The Blair family i
Fay successfully falls into the arms of Cade Goldwin. It looks exactly like a romance movie. A girl's cheap trick to attract the attention of the opposite sex.For some time there was an eerie silence. The originally crowded party room was suddenly silent. All eyes were on one point, Fay who fell into Cade Goldwin's arms.The women began to curse Fay and wished for Cade's punishment. They were all jealous. How could a foreign girl with no clear social status touch Cade so easily?Meanwhile, Cade's cold face was getting grim. Had this been any other girl and not Fay Willmer, he would have accused her of the most disgusting dirty trick. There was never a single woman who dared to try this on him. But the girl in his arms was Fay Willmer who liked to find trouble with him. Cade tried to guess whether this was an accident or something else.For a moment Fay could only grimace. She was still clutching the chest part of Cade's suit while trying to endure the pain. Maybe she had sprained her
"Isn't it your birthday today?" Mrs. Goldwin asked back. She was now looking at the children.Mika laughed amusedly as she saw her grandmother giving them both a 'you lied to me' look."We just said we wanted to celebrate mommy's birthday. But that doesn't mean it's mommy's birthday today. We've never celebrated before." Mike said casually without any guilt.It was just an excuse to get Laura Goldwin to drive them to Fay's apartment."Akh!" Laura tapped herself on the forehead. "You've tricked grandma.""We didn't. She just misinterpreted it." Mike still didn't accept the blame.Fay who heard that just sneered. She was familiar with the behavior of these two kids. They never wanted to lose an argument."Mommy, you're so beautiful today." Mika hugged Fay's arm and tugged at the hem of the dress sleeve."I'm always pretty," Fay said quickly. The two children glanced at each other. As Fay knew them, they also knew Fay very well. Narcissistic mommy strikes again!Mrs. Goldwin had been wa
Mike and Mika ran away from the supermarket employees. They slipped between the mall patrons without showing their frightened faces. In each hand, the five-year-olds held a large chocolate bar.A group of people moved opposite the twins. In front led a tall, well-built man with a charming face and a cold expression. Following him, a group of men with uneasy faces.At one point they met. The two children bumped into the man leading the group and hid behind him while holding the hem of his coat."Daddy, they're chasing us!" Mike exclaimed while pointing at two supermarket employees whose faces immediately turned pale.The man was not a random person. Everyone in the neighborhood knew him. He was Cade Goldwin, the richest businessman in the town of Axton.The man didn't like foreign touches. So his face was suddenly grim when he felt small hands grasping the hem of his suit. He stopped walking and looked down.Cade was about to say something cold and sharp to repel the two boys, but seei
”Mommy, we met daddy. He gave us chocolate.” Mika held up a large chocolate bar in her hand.That wasn’t quite right. But it couldn’t be said to be wrong either. They had picked it up at a supermarket to cause a commotion in the direction of a passing party. They searched the internet for information about Cade Goldwin once they got the secret. Before she died their mother gave it to them and told them to keep it from Fay Wilmer, the girl they now called Mommy.“Mommy will throw a tantrum.” That was Mike’s constant reminder whenever Mika thought Fay should be told. Maybe she would come after Cade for making Audrey, the twins’ mother, suffer and then kill him. But it wouldn’t be Cade Goldwin who would be killed. He’s a man who can’t be touched. It was the ruler of the city of Axton who would probably kill Fay.So they had to refrain from telling Fay for their mommy’s safety.“Never mind. Stop playing around. I almost went to the security post and asked them to announce your disappear
"No one has ever refused us. Not even mommy could." Mike smiled mischievously. The boy knew that Fay didn't like them but was forced to bring them with her.Fay pouted. "That's a different thing. Mr. Goldwin can't just be forced to accept you guys.""He can't refuse his good luck charm." Mika's eyes flickered playfully."He's been lucky since birth. No need for a lucky charm. Besides, I heard that he's now in a relationship with a young lady from the Haines family. I'm not sure any young lady would want to be your stepmother." Fay tried to remember the girl's name, but failed. Cade Goldwin was always making headlines. Even if he spat, the reporters would be happy to make it a headline.Yaik! Fay was disgusted by the simile. Okay, she was exaggerating. But Cade always made a scene when he changed girlfriends. How many have there been? Ten? Eleven? Fay tapped herself on the head for letting her mind wander. It was none of her business.The two children across from her furrowed their fin
"Cade, I—“Pricilla wanted to buy some time. It had been a week since they had seen each other. Cade never even called her. Was he getting tired of her? They had only been in a relationship for a month. Pricilla felt anxious. She wasn't willing to break up so quickly. Her dream was the dream of all Axton girls, to become Mrs. Goldwin.Cade ignored the girl. He continued his work that had been delayed. Until later, because of his neglect, Pricilla helplessly left his office. Only then did Cade throw the sheet of documents in his hand onto the table.To him, Pricilla was just a tool. He used her as his lover to upset the Goldwin mistress. Pricilla was not the type of daughter-in-law his mother wanted, Cade knew. But Cade had a sudden headache when his mother urged him to marry Pricilla.'Pricilla or any other girl. I don't care.' That was the ultimatum from the stubborn woman who had given birth to Cade.***"Don't talk nonsense!" said Fay after she stopped coughing. Her face was red.
"Mommy, you read too many novels." Mike finally spoke when his laughter had subsided. The corners of his eyes were watering. "We're not that good."Well, not that great by any stretch of the imagination, but you're still amazing kids.Fay just muttered it to herself. They would get a big head if they heard her.The girl then resumed her intention to take a bath. At that moment, she suddenly felt uncomfortable. So, were the two kids going to leave soon? Why was she feeling sad? Shouldn't she be happy that she didn't have to support the children any longer?The morning before breakfast, two days later, Fay was mostly silent. She didn't react to any of Mike and Mika's ramblings that tried to pick a fight with her."Stop talking nonsense!" Fay put down two plates of cereal for the twins' breakfast that morning rudely. She herself only had a glass of milk. Their money was running low. She had to save it for at least these two days."Mommy's not eating?" Mike observed the way Fay greedily f
