“Can Daddy cook?” Mike finally spoke up.Cade laughed at the boy’s question until Mike thought it meant his father wasn’t much of a cook.“I’ll cook for you when I have some free time. Trust me, Daddy’s cooking will not be inferior to that of a five-star hotel chef.” Cade said smugly.Mika’s response was flat. “You’d better be. At least you have something to show us.”Cade could only scratch his head which wasn’t itchy. He was running out of ideas to make these two kids admire him. Maybe he would think of another way later.When the ordered food arrived, two waiters were serving them the meal. They arranged the dishes on the table and cleaned up when they were done.“I’m going to the company for a while. I have some business to attend to. Langdon will keep you at home until the afternoon.” Cade changed into something more formal. “Is Daddy bringing Mommy home later?” asked Mika as she followed Cade into the room.
“Mommy is very pretty. If she would just dress up a bit and wear nice clothes, she wouldn’t be inferior to Daddy’s previous girlfriends.” Mike defended their choice.So he was right!Langdon didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this. Fay Willmer was not his type of boss. Moreover, in their first meeting, the fire of hostility had already been lit. What would Cade Goldwin say if he knew these boys were setting him up with that girl?And what magic could this pair of twins create to unite those two opposites?“Uncle, there’s no need to worry. Even if they don’t like each other at first, they’ll get married eventually.” Mike seemed to be able to read Langdon’s mind. “Well, although I have to admit, Mommy’s temper is a bit bad.”Oh my! Looks like Langdon will have to start being careful with these two kids. Don’t let him be the next target.“We know when someone is matched with someone else in just one look,” Mika announced proudly
“Have you seen Langdon?” Cade asked the two kids who were having a riot in his living room.“Uncle went to the bathroom,” Mike said, running his miniature car across the table.Cade frowned and went to his room. He needed to talk to Langdon about something, but he would wait first.But when Cade had finished showering and changed, he didn’t find his assistant in the living room. Had Langdon gone home without saying goodbye to him?“Uncle’s still in the bathroom.” Now it was Mika who told him. She looked nonchalant when she said that.Cade became suspicious. He moved back towards the bathroom located outside the bedroom.In front of the tightly closed bathroom door, he listened for a moment. There was no sound. He knocked.“Langdon? Are you in? Is there a problem?”There was the sound of water splashing in there.The bathroom door opened. A pale face emerged from behind it.“Mr. Goldwin—“ Langdo
Mike and Mika looked at their father and were curious about the phone call.“Daddy looks happy,” Mike said as Cade turned off the phone, leaving only a complimentary comment for the caller. “Did Daddy manage to persuade Mommy to stay here?”Cade wouldn’t be happy if she stayed. But he was satisfied that he would soon be able to conquer Fay Willmer’s stubbornness. That girl wouldn’t be able to refuse his offer anymore.“The deadline isn’t up yet. There are still two days left. I’m trying. But I’m sure Miss Willmer will be happy to be your nanny.” Cade told the kids who almost cheered at the news.It might be a good thing if the girl became their nanny. Didn’t Miss Willmer say that she had a hard time taking care of Mike and Mika? She would give that trouble once again even with the lure of Fay’s favor.“How did Daddy persuade her?” Mika asked while resting her chin on both arms.“Do you think Miss Willmer can be persuaded?” Cade s
It was still raining heavily almost an hour later. Fay across the street still hadn’t moved from her position.The man in the car started the engine, steered it across, and stopped right in front of Fay.The girl was initially indifferent to her surroundings. Not even the driver who got out of the car and hurriedly walked towards Fay to avoid the rain.“Miss Willmer. I went to your place, but you weren’t there.” Cade Goldwin greeted Fay. The girl was surprised by Cade’s sudden presence next to her. A little rainwater made the man’s dark hair wet. How could this damn man be around her? In this rain? Fay looked unhappy with the presence of the father of the twins. She only glanced at Cade and then refocused on the less crowded street.“Mike and Mika kept insisting that you be their nanny. So I went looking for you. Just tell me if you have any requests other than the offer I made.” The handsome face showed not
Langdon was standing with his back against the wall. Both outstretched arms were bound with duct tape to two furniture hooks. What made him even more immobile was a small jar placed on his head. It looked like the man had become some sort of throwing target for Cade’s twins.“Sir, I can’t move. This urn....” Langdon gestured with his eyeballs moved upwards. The slightest mistake he made, the antique urn would fall and break into pieces.Cade could only sigh helplessly at the sight of his children’s handiwork. Perhaps Fay Willmer’s presence in this place would be able to control the situation a little more. Though he wasn’t too sure. The girl didn’t seem to like children very much.After removing the duct tape from his assistant’s arm, Cade returned to the living room. Langdon hurried to say goodbye to his boss and didn’t dare to glance at Mike and Mika.The two boys just giggled at Langdon’s fleeing behavior.“Uncle, that was very excitin
Fay had been thinking about it all the way.“I’ll just look after them after class.”That was unthinkable to Cade. He had already given her a large salary, but this girl would only look after the two kids after she got home from college. “Don’t say that you’re going to leave them unattended here.” Cade became annoyed.“Don’t overdo it. You should know that I’m also busy and can’t fully look after them. You can send someone else for a few hours while I’m gone. Besides, it’s time for Mike and Mika to go to school.” Fay reminded.“They’ll make trouble like they did with Langdon. I’m not sure anyone will survive.” Cade wasn’t sure about hiring anyone else as another nanny. Based on the experience of the past two days, probably no one would last beyond one day.“You think I’ll last?”“You have to endure,” Cade said quickly.The two looked at each other. Fay didn’t quite understand the meaning of Cade’s words.
Three heads turned simultaneously to the origin of the voice. All of them suddenly frowned once they saw who was coming.Cade noticed the air of hostility around him. He was usually the one who was more dominant among the people. In his own home, Cade felt he was the intruder.The man tried to ignore the displeased gaze. He waltzed in and took a glance at Fay who was wearing an oversized t-shirt and short jeans.The girl’s dark hair was pulled back in a high ponytail, revealing a white neck. Her face was plain with no makeup but still looked cute despite her pout.Cade swallowed. Damn it! Why did this girl look so attractive in her cheap clothes?Cade half-deadly refrained from looking back at Fay.“I’ll order the food. Ms. Willmer, I will indeed give in to all my children’s wishes, but not if it will be bad for them.”“Daddy, you’re so stingy!” Mika exclaimed in annoyance.Cade crouched down to face the little
