“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—“ LangdoMike 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
Cade’s reaction was a little complicated, but there was no surprise on his face. “Mom, I thought you would have come sooner.”The one who came was a woman in her late fifties. Despite that, she still looked ten years younger. That woman was Mrs. Goldwin, the mother of Cade Goldwin.Accompanying her hurriedly was Cade’s assistant, Langdon. “Sir, I had to tell Mrs. Goldwin about the children.” Langdon didn’t want to take the blame. Laura Goldwin was the one who insisted. He was pressured and went awry.“Why keep it from me? You thought I wouldn’t know. I have eyes everywhere too.” Laura pulled out a chair and sat there with her feet up.His mom did like to spy on him, and Cade knew that. He left it alone because he didn’t want to make a fuss.“That’s why I don’t need to tell Mom.” Laura stared fiercely at her favorite son. As she looked at the two kids who were watching her, her face suddenly brightened.“My sweet grandchildren!” Laura rose from her seat and grabbed the two heads si
“Daddy is going to marry Mommy,” Mike said with confidence.Mika next to him agreed.Laura laughed. “How can you be so sure?”“We can see that they are soul mates,” Mika answered.Laura thought it was funny. Two kids pretending to be fortune tellers, she thought they were playing around.“I also agree that they should get married.” Laura expressed her support. Cade was too picky and ended up having trouble making a choice. There had to be someone to encourage him.The girl wasn’t bad either. Although the Goldwins were the richest family in Axton, Laura didn’t make a big deal about her son-in-law’s status. It was only narrow-minded families that still chose in-laws based on social status. Who would dare to laugh at and look down on the Goldwin family for having a son-in-law from a lower social class?“Grandma doesn’t even know mommy’s name.” Mike reminded.“Oh, I forgot!” Laura tapped her forehead. “So what’s that cute girl’s name?”Mike and Mika giggled together. They agreed with thei
Huh? That easy a solution? But, something seems wrong!“I feel bad for your father. I’ve only been here for one day. How can it be like that?” Fay still knew shame. She didn’t want to be seen as eating her paycheck without doing her job.“Then do you want to come with us and skip classes for days?” Mike reminded Fay about her studies.“Mommy will just stay here. Grandma will take care of things with daddy. She said she’ll pull daddy’s ears if he doesn’t comply.” Mika laughed as she remembered what her grandmother had said in their room. Such a big daddy would still have his ears pulled if he didn’t obey?Fay scratched her head in confusion. Living here? With that bastard? How dangerous!But never mind! For the time being she would stay at Cade’s apartment like the two kids said while looking for another place to live. She would think about it later.Languidly, Fay finally expressed agreement.“But you guys shouldn’t leave for too long. It’s not very ... comfortable.” Fay did not know
The fifth day of the honeymoon. The sun had begun to rise by a quarter. Inside the spacious and luxurious bedroom, it was quiet. The sound of the hanging ornaments on the balcony blowing in the wind, tinkling faintly, was the only thing heard. On the floor of the room, men's and women's clothes were scattered. The scene was a little chaotic and ambiguous. Meanwhile, the bed was even messier. It was as if a storm had come into this room last night and then left after it was satisfied with destroying everything. Fay's eyelids twitched before opening. The first sight she saw was the exposed muscles of her chest. And the scent of last night's intimacy immediately entered her sense of smell. She became dazed for a moment. Every time she woke up for several mornings, she still felt unfamiliar with this scene. The man holding her, the smell of his body, the whole room, all new and unfamiliar. Fay wanted to refuse to believe that this was real, but she was helpless. She had become the prop
Cade Goldwin and Fay Willmer's wedding was closed to the public. It was held on a private island with no more than a hundred guests. Reporters from various mass media could only wait around the shoreline and harbor as dozens of helicopters took turns picking up guests. The Goldwin family even banned live coverage and did not permit a single media outlet. They would only run a story on the Goldwin Group's official web page.The person who was most relieved about it was Fay Willmer. She didn't care about her status and what people thought of her. But the Goldwin name was too heavy to carry. She felt it would be troublesome if she had to go everywhere with that special identity. With a closed marriage like this, her identity was only known to a handful of people.Besides a few relatives and close friends, there were also government officials and business associates as well as a few high-class families. From Fay's side, not having any close friends other than Callie who was now her sister

Callie rolled her eyeballs. "Idiot. Do I look like a bride-to-be?"Mrs. Goldwin's brow furrowed. Had Fay forgotten that she was the one getting married? Last night Cade had informed her that Fay had agreed to marry him. So, he told the Goldwin family to come for the wedding formalities. The celebration itself would be arranged later. Cade is worried that she might change her mind. So he planned to get the marriage book first.Fay scratched her head with a puzzled expression. "I think you do look like a bride-""Talking nonsense again? Aren't you guys getting married today? Don't say that you don't remember." Callie was a little annoyed by Fay's inaction in using her brain."Huh? I-I-" Fay looked at the children for someone to explain."Mommy, Daddy is done getting ready. But you haven't even taken a shower yet. Hurry up." Mika also looked impatient.Fay instantly panicked. "Who said I'm getting married? This must be a misunderstanding.""Mommy, didn't you agree to marry Daddy yesterda
Fay's brow furrowed. "Talk about it later. Come on, get up. I'll help." Cade held Fay's hand, he held it tightly. "Listen first. If the results are bad, I want you to promise me to take care of the kids. I might die. Who knows?""Don't talk nonsense!" Fay suddenly felt her throat tighten. It reminded her of Audrey before her death. "You're not going to die.""Everyone dies." Cade reminded."At least you won't die that quickly." Fay felt her tears about to fall. "Let's get up!""Promise me first-""Promise what?" Fay's voice almost broke. "You won't die. So I don't have to look after those two annoying kids."Cade silently glanced at the eyes that were starting to fog up. God, this was a bit much. He was quite aware that Fay would probably go berserk if she found out she had been played.He took Fay's trembling hand. "Promise to marry me if it's all right," Cade spoke the words carefully word by word, as if afraid she wouldn't hear him.The two kids in the back snickered silently. Da
Fay didn't want to see Cade, but the children whined and kept insisting. She couldn't stand hearing the whining of a child. Reluctantly she went too to the man's room with two pairs of tiny hands dragging her along."I hope you guys aren't tricking me," Fay warned.Arriving at the room that Fay was familiar with having been trapped in all night, she saw Cade lying pale under the covers. His eyes were tightly closed. "Daddy's body is hot. Looks like a fever. Mommy check it." Mika knew that Fay suspected they had lied.Last night Mika and Mike slept in his father's room. In the morning Mike woke up to the feeling of his father's burning skin. When Mike tried to wake him up and ask how he was, all he got in response was a sigh. His father's eyes had opened a little, but then closed again and did not open again.Fay reluctantly touched the man's forehead. Just for a moment, she pulled her hand away again. It was really hot. Not a trick. But how is this? Was it because of the rain at Trix
Mike and Mika were still awake. They had eavesdropped on their grandmother and father's conversation earlier in the day, wondering when their father would have a serious conversation with Mommy.Mike curled his lips, defending his pride. "I'm not curious. I can confirm that Daddy will talk about their wedding plans.""But I am curious. I wonder if Mommy will blush when she says she agrees to marry Daddy." Mika giggled softly at the thought. That sounded interesting. Mike couldn't resist the temptation to take a peek."All right, let's go." Mike finally agreed.Mika gave a thumbs up, praising his brother's decision. The two walked hand in hand, sneaking along in the direction the two adults had gone.The door to the balcony was open, signaling that someone was out there. A cold breeze blew in, sweeping away the two small faces poking out silently from behind the shutters.There was only a long chair outside. There was no shadow of anyone. Both children were astonished. "Where are th
"Stop feeding me. I can do it myself." Fay kept saying that, but Cade also kept aiming the spoon filled with porridge at the girl's mouth. Fay wanted to dodge, but Cade had made a threat that made her ears turn red.Half an hour ago she was awakened by a warm touch on her lips. When Fay opened her eyes, a charming face was very close to her.Fay pushed. With just one hand. While her other hand, which turned out to be wearing an IV needle, was held by Cade."What are you doing?" Fay stammered.Cade's breath hit her face, making Fay dare not breathe air. She remembered this scent once upon a time."What do you think?" Cade smiled seductively.Fay was confused. "Stay away from me. You can't be impudent!" She then remembered her confession in front of Audrey's grave. Cade Goldwin must have heard it and become very bold."Even if I like you, that doesn't mean you can act impudent.""Even to your future wife?" Cade tilted his face. Still not moving away. His fingers even traced Fay's cheek,
Fay Willmer arrived in Trixie just before lunch. The friendly husband and wife offered her to stop by their house for lunch, but Fay quickly declined. She remembered a café near the park and planned to visit it.After a late lunch, the weather suddenly became gloomy. Fay went to the former house where she used to live with her parents. It had been taken over by an uncle because her father owed the family money. She stood for a long time in front of the small house with a patch of garden next to it, reminiscing for a while and then leaving.By evening, Fay felt very tired and intended to find an inn. She clearly remembered a few places and chose to walk to a small inn. After taking a shower, she remembered her cell phone and found that its battery had run out of power. It occurred to her that she might have caused a big commotion in Flyod by leaving without telling anyone. While her cell phone was unreachable. There would be many predictions. But Fay was too tired to think about it.
