Yvonne had no idea how to respond and merely smiled to cover up the awkwardness. She understood that Micheal was doing everything he could for his children, but how did he feel personally? It was admirable that he did so much for his children's sake, but what about his own integrity? Was he upset that he had to touch a stranger's belongings?Yvonne wondered what thoughts roamed through his mind as he helped her unpack while she sat in the living room, scrolling through magazines. “Thank you very much, Mr. Langston. Would you like a cup of water? Juice?” she asked.“Water will be fine. Daddy doesn't like juice,” Lily replied on Micheal's behalf. “They are in charge,” Micheal gestured helplessly, which made Yvonne smile softly."Water it is, then,” Yvonne said, and they all walked back into the living room.Out of excitement, the kids suggested they watch a cartoon. Micheal was used to this routine, but it was a trigger for Yvonne, who had once purchased so many different types of car
In less than two hours, the children were fast asleep.Yvonne gestured to Micheal, asking him to help take the kids to her bedroom, but he shook his head and typed something on her phone.*"15 more minutes before you can move them, or they will wake up,"* read the message.When Yvonne saw the text, she nodded in agreement and continued to hold the kids close to her. Before the 15-minute mark, she had fallen asleep as well.Micheal was transfixed by the sight. Jack sat nestled against Yvonne, his head resting on her chest where it met Lily's head, which was nestled in between Yvonne's spread thighs. Yvonne held both children protectively, even as her head slumped back.He couldn’t resist capturing the moment. He held up his phone and took a picture of the scene. The sudden click of the camera jolted Yvonne awake, but thankfully, her first instinct was to check on Lily and Jack to make sure they were alright. This gave Micheal the chance to quickly put his phone away.Yvonne’s half-clos
Micheal had been so engrossed in his work that he hadn't noticed the movements coming from Yvonne's room. She had woken up in the middle of the night, realizing she was still wearing the outfit from the dinner meeting. After changing into her pajamas, Yvonne searched for something more comfortable for the twins but found nothing suitable. Instead, she loosened their outfits to keep them as comfortable as possible. Her thoughts then drifted to Micheal, wondering how he was doing. It was strange having a man in her home who wasn't David, but she wasn't bothered by it. Micheal gave her a sense of assurance that he would never overstep his boundaries or cause problems for her, which was exactly what Yvonne needed as she navigated her new relationship with his kids.Expecting to see Micheal asleep on the couch, Yvonne was surprised to find him fully focused on his laptop screen. She approached him cautiously, stopping at a respectful distance before gaining his attention.Micheal closed
The next morning, Yvonne woke up to find that Micheal and the kids were already up. Despite their father’s refusal to allow them to bathe at her house, the kids had brushed their teeth and were ready for breakfast, which, surprisingly, Micheal had prepared.It was an omelet sandwich—simple yet delicious. Yvonne ate her portion, dazed, under the curious gazes of Micheal and the kids. Apparently, Micheal had become a devoted participant in wooing her, with his children’s encouragement.Lily and Jack had suggested their father make their favorite sandwich so that their beloved Miss Yvonne would realize that cooking was another skill their daddy possessed. Yvonne, who was used to serving others all her life, was overwhelmed with emotion at being cooked for.She chewed with dazed and misty eyes, which made Micheal frown and Jack give his father a knowing look.Micheal then made up his mind to look into David. His curiosity had finally reached its peak.“Do you love it?” Lily asked.Yvonne
When the old nanny resigned, Micheal had accepted her decision without question. He never forced anyone into his life, and he certainly wouldn’t do so with his children.However, realizing that such a sweet woman had been driven away by his mother, who wanted to replace her with someone she could control, filled Micheal with anger.His frustration deepened when he arrived home with his kids to find Susan dozing off at the entrance instead of relaxing in her room.What was she trying to portray?That she couldn’t sleep unless the kids were home? A nanny typically uses the rare moments when the employers are away to enjoy some alone time, but Susan was trying to show that she preferred them around all the time.At that moment, Micheal saw Susan in a new light, noticing how she had customized her outfit, which was supposed to be comfortable, into something stylish. Her blouse was tied at the side, ending just below her chest, while her pants were slightly lowered to accentuate her slim w
Jack frowned, his adorable face clouded with concern, before glancing back at Lily, who still looked frightened.“Where is Daddy?” he asked.Just then, Micheal strode into the room with a commanding presence, his expression cold and unreadable.“Daddy!” Lily called out, making Susan sharply turn her head. Micheal quickly reached her and grabbed her wrist with a firm grip.Turning to his children, Micheal said, “You can take a break. Say hi to Miss Yvonne.”Lily’s frightened expression immediately turned to one of excitement, mirroring Jack’s reaction.Micheal then left the room, half-dragging Susan with him.Once they were out of the children's earshot, he released her. “I’m revoking my promise to pay your tuition fees. Leave now, and expect your final payment up to today in your account,” he said icily.Susan shook her head, her face displaying a look of betrayal. “Sir, you can't just fire me for no reason,” she protested.“Oh, yes, I can. And I have.” Before Susan could respond, Mic
Sammy knew the students hadn’t liked her during their school years, but she never realized their disdain was so strong that they thought no one should ever marry her.She wondered what was wrong with them. Sammy had always been a very intelligent student and was now a successful woman. She could achieve anything, and David being her husband was a testament to that.Not to mention, she had a great figure and a delicate, beautiful face.She was perplexed by their criticism.And she was about to find out why.@Anna: *Maybe David wasn’t part of our group. Must be some random guy who fell for her pretty face, not realizing he was on the road to creating a family of psychopaths.*@Cherry: *Hahaha. Anna, you made me laugh so hard. Who knows what kind of blackmail she’s using on her so-called husband. I bet he’s crying on the inside in those wedding photos.*Sammy was upset, and she was proving them right. Her mind spun with ways to get back at everyone who had said something hurtful. She to
Amy had been having the time of her life ever since she moved in with her fiancé. Wedding preparations were underway, and she had Yvonne by her side. Being her best friend, Yvonne had gladly agreed to be Amy's bridesmaid.Amy had noticed a change in Yvonne. Her usually dull eyes now had a beautiful glow, reminiscent of the Yvonne Amy once knew back in their school days. Amy was very happy for her friend and assumed David had changed and was treating Yvonne well. However, ever since her comment about David last time, it had become a sensitive subject with Yvonne.Because of this, Amy never asked about the reason for Yvonne's sudden glow—not that she had much time to ponder it anyway. Her fiancé had been overly excited about the chance to live with her, showering her with gifts and constant dates. Amy had been living such an overwhelmingly positive week with her fiancé that she missed her period before he finally calmed down.They had to ensure she wasn’t pregnant because consuming alco
