After speaking, Calla resolutely got out of the car and quickly strode toward the tall building ahead. Pierre watched her departing figure as she disappeared into the building. Then, he slammed his fist hard against the steering wheel, causing the horn to emit a sharp sound. The car quickly sped into the lane, disappearing like a flash of lightning.That day, Calla was late regardless. She sat at her desk, distracted and absent-minded, her thoughts unsettled by Pierre's actions. Emotionally, Calla knew that she only felt gratitude and admiration for Pierre. It was not the kind of romantic feelings that made one's heart race. However, what concerned her most were the issues Pierre mentioned that Clover would face in the future.After thinking it over, Calla knew that it was pointless for her to feel troubled. She couldn't accept Pierre's proposal, as she didn't want to repay kindness with emotion. Instead, she decided to focus on doing her best to support Clover and create a bet

In the afternoon, after selecting and paying for two boxes of goods, Calla's phone rang urgently.She pulled out her phone and saw that it was Fiona calling, likely to ask when she would be back.Calla swiftly answered the call. "Fiona, I'll be heading back soon—"Fiona cut her off urgently. "Ms. Sherman, Clover has a high fever. It's almost 100.4°F! Something's not right. I'm worried that she might have a seizure!" Calla instantly panicked. "How could she suddenly have a high fever?" she blurted out. "She seemed fine when I left. 100.4 °F is way too high; she could definitely get a seizure. You need to take her to the hospital right away!""I-I've never been to the hospital before. I don't know what to do!" Fiona's voice was trembling. She was nearly in tears.Even though Fiona was young, she was uneducated. Coming from the countryside to work as a nanny, she had never been to a hospital in the city.Calla felt even more anxious at those words."Ms. Sherman, when will you be

As he spoke, Pierre glanced out the window and took a deep breath.Calla could see that although he was speaking with ease, he still appeared somewhat uncomfortable. This made her realize that her actions had indeed hurt his feelings and pride. She regretted her actions deeply. While returning the money was the right thing to do, perhaps she did it at the wrong time.Pierre then said, "I'll go get Clover's bottle and diapers. I'll bring some daily necessities for you too. You'll probably be staying here for a few days.""Thank you." Calla nodded.Pierre turned on his heel and left the ward. After closing the door, he took another deep breath before heading out.Fiona soon returned with the food. Calla was hungry, having spent the whole day rushing about. Seeing that Clover was better, she felt more at ease, so she started to eat heartily.Meanwhile, Fiona continued to chatter away. "Ms. Sherman, Mr. Garland really cares about Clover. A few minutes after you called, he brought u

Calla's exhilarated laughter eventually filled the room.Pierre held Calla and spun around the living room for several minutes. When they were both dizzy and breathless, he finally stopped. He gently set her down on the couch, where they both slumped, panting and disoriented.As Calla leaned back against the couch, she felt like the entire room was still spinning. A smile spread across her face as she savored the thrill of the moment. She had never been so wild and carefree before. This light-headedness felt oddly invigorating.Still catching his breath, Pierre supported himself on the couch with one hand and gazed deeply at Calla with a profound look in his eyes.Noticing his intense gaze, Calla asked softly, "What are you looking at?"Pierre suddenly reached out, cupping her chin in his hand. His eyes seemed to drink in her features as he remarked, "You're beautiful."Taken aback by the compliment, Calla remarked, "You could have complimented me about anything else. How can I c

Calla understood that she was way past the age of pursuing a dreamy romance, especially now that she had Clover. She had to be realistic. She knew she had to cherish Pierre, who was her only choice and a gift from Heaven for her and Clover.Even though they had quickly gotten closer, and Calla would take care of his daily needs, they still hadn't taken it all the way.Calla didn't understand why, but every time Pierre got close to her, her body would tense up. Though she was trying hard to overcome this psychological barrier, her body's reaction seemed to defy her mind's commands.Fortunately, Pierre didn't push her and continued to be patient. Calla felt guilty about it, but he would always comfort her. He said that she wasn't a frivolous woman and had the reserved dignity a woman should have, which was something he especially appreciated about her.Pierre was now even more devoted to Clover. He would spend time every night carrying her around the house, which made Clover giggle j
