Chava nodded and continued to gaze at Lyyana with curiosity. "I didn't do anything, why?"
Chava was about to speak, but he stopped as they had arrived in front of Garret's room. Lyyana smiled and entered the room, pushing the door halfway open. Lyyana saw Garret sitting with a sulky face. "Hi!" Lyyana greeted, making Garret look up and run towards her.
Lyyana hugged Garret tightly, genuinely showing affection unlike pretending or just doing her job. Lyyana really treated Garret like her own child, maybe that's what made her closer to Garret than any other babysitter.
"Let's wash our faces first, then have dinner?" Lyyana invited, unraveling her embrace and leading Garret to the bathroom.
After 10 minutes, Garret and Lyyana came out of the bathroom, with Garret's face looking much fresher than before. Lyyana led Garret to leave the room, followed by Chava and Adelia behind her. Along the way, Garret c
Lyyana threw a smile towards the window and then entered the house, closing the back door. Lyyana's footsteps walked towards her room, and once there, she quickly cleaned herself and changed her clothes. Actually, Lyyana didn't have many clothes; luckily, some other employees gave her new clothes, some because they were the wrong size, and others intentionally gave them to express their gratitude for lightening their task of taking care of the notoriously uncontrollable Garret.After changing clothes and cleaning herself, Lyyana immediately laid down and prepared to explore the dream world. In her dream, Lyyana saw a woman who looked like her standing at the end of the road, smiling sweetly at her."I entrust him to you, take care of him." Lyyana then screamed as she woke up from her sleep."Who is he?" Lyyana asked after managing to regulate her breathing and taking the mineral water beside her bed.
"Mama, I'm hungry," said Garrett, diverting the attention of Lyyana and other employees. Lyyana sighed in relief because, thanks to Garrett's request, she avoided Adelia's questions. She smiled, nodded, and quickly finished her planting. After finishing, Lyyana placed her plants in one corner of the room. "Let's put it here, and later in the evening, we'll water it. Starting today, Garrett has a new task of taking care of these plants until they grow and bear fruit. Agreed?" Lyyana asked, looking at Garrett with a serene gaze. Garrett nodded, "Agreed, Mama." Lyyana kissed Garrett's forehead. After washing her hands, Lyyana led Garrett inside. Before entering, Lyyana took a moment to say goodbye to the other employees. In the kitchen, Lyyana carried Garrett and sat him on one of the barstools. "So, handsome hero, what would you like for breakfast this morning?" Lyyana asked, putting on her apron. Garrett seemed to think for a moment. "Grandma's fried rice?" Garrett requested, lookin
Petra just stayed silent, staring at the oven that had just chimed, indicating that the cookies Lyyana made were ready to be taken out. Lyyana followed Petra's gaze, smiled, and nodded. "Do you want a drink too?""Whatever," Petra replied flatly and walked away from the kitchen.Lyyana smiled, for some reason feeling happy that the two men of different ages liked her cooking. She quickly took the cookies out of the oven and placed them on the kitchen table. Lyyana prepared three small jars to store her cookies, and while waiting for them to cool and be ready to store, she opened the refrigerator and took out various types of fruits.Carefully, Lyyana washed apples, carrots, and oranges. After cleaning, she cut them into smaller pieces. She then started to puree the fruits using a special machine. While waiting for the juice to be ready, Lyyana checked her cookies again. Once they were cool, she began arranging them in the jars."Done," said Lyyana, placing the last cookie on the plate
"Yeah, because of that incident. Oh, by the way, what should I do with this meat?" Amber asked, shifting the topic away from Lyyana. She also signaled Chava, Adelia, and Mila not to discuss it further."Can you help me shape it into balls like this?" Lyyana asked, demonstrating to Amber. Amber nodded. "Thank you," Lyyana said, smiling.The five women of different ages seemed busy cooking with the recipes and cooking tips that Lyyana shared with them. However, Lyyana occasionally kept an eye on Garret in the living room not far from the kitchen.But the tranquility didn't last long. Suddenly, the front door opened, revealing a sexy woman entering with a housekeeper behind her. "Don't do that, ma'am. I'm sorry, but Mr. Petra prohibits you from entering.""What! So noisy! Even the housekeeper dares to stop me!" the woman shouted with her arrogant face.The high-pitched voice clashed
"Ahem," Petra cleared his throat from the doorway of Garrett's room.Garrett and Lyyana immediately turned towards the source of the sound, both displaying surprised expressions but reacting differently. Lyyana nodded her head, while Garrett further hid within Lyyana's embrace as if the child was frightened facing Petra. Lyyana furrowed her brow, as the improved relationship between Garrett and Petra seemed to distance itself once again.Attempting to soothe Garrett, Lyyana said, "No, no‼ He's bad! Bad‼" Garrett squirmed and pointed towards Petra."Garrett, listen, no one will harm you. Neither Father Petra, the lady earlier, nor anyone else. Garrett should not be afraid anymore," Lyyana reassured Garrett.Lyyana appeared patient and composed, facing Garrett's tantrums that had always overwhelmed babysitters in the past. "Garrett, do you believe? No one will harm Garrett here." Like a mantra, Garrett
"I just want to know, I want to ask him in case he still works here." Amber nodded. "Actually, I don't know who he is. But from what I've heard, he went back to his hometown and never returned until now. They said it was because Garrett almost lost his life at that time. Then he suddenly left, saying he was going back to his hometown." "So, he's not originally from here? Or an old employee?" Amber shook her head. "As far as I know, some employees here are not long-timers. Like you, Adelia, and Mila, they came after Chava couldn't handle Garrett. Before me, there was someone more senior, but he now lives in a villa. Maybe because of his age, he was assigned to a quieter place." Lyyana nodded. "Thank you for the information. Sorry for taking your time." "Ah, you're just like anyone else. If you don't have any more questions, I'll go back to work." Lyyana nodded with a smi
"I dare not tell, Miss. Because it's Mr. Petra's family's privacy. Maybe you can ask Mr. Petra directly." Lyyana sighed; she had received answers like this many times, and as usual, Lyyana couldn't force them to share more.After their conversation, Lyyana preferred to observe the streets from behind the car window while engaging Garret in conversation about various things. Before they knew it, Tommy's driven car had arrived at the hospital's parking lot. Lyyana quickly got out and opened the car door. She immediately prepared to put on her hat and glasses. Garret looked at Lyyana in confusion and asked, "Mom, why?"Lyyana shook her head and smiled, "It's okay, dear. Let's go inside."Garret nodded, quickly got out of the car, and tightly held Lyyana's fingers. Lyyana nodded to Tommy, saying, "I'll go in first, sir." Tommy nodded and gestured for Lyyana to pass.After a few steps, Garret stopped and shouted, pointing behind Lyyana, "Dad!" Lyyana also turned around, and indeed, a tall
"No problem, sir," Lyyana replied, trying to calm her panic.Petra didn't respond anymore; he just remained silent and focused on the road ahead while Lyyana chose to stare out the window, observing every sight she saw. Before she knew it, she had arrived in Petra's driveway, the man parking his car right in front of his main door. Petra unbuckled his seatbelt and looked at Lyyana, who seemed to struggle with hers.Without hesitation, Petra leaned over and helped Lyyana unbuckle her seatbelt, even going as far as opening Lyyana's door from the inside. Petra's actions succeeded in making Lyyana's heart race uncontrollably; she even had to hold her breath for a moment as she caught a whiff of Petra's masculine scent."Thank you, sir," Lyyana said just before she got out of the car.Petra only cleared his throat and let Lyyana get out alone. "I'm heading back to the office." Lyyana nodded in response to Petra's words.After the car door was closed, Petra started his car again and slowly
