Finding the book interesting, Tommy suddenly pointed outside and exclaimed, "Pitter patter!""Pitter patter, pitter patter, listen to the rain!"Tommy appeared interested as Isaac read it for him, and the boy pointed outside and exclaimed, "That's what we're hearing outside… I like nursery rhymes, Daddy."Irene smiled mildly. "As long as you like it."Tommy then lay down and wrapped himself in the soft blanket, his little legs lifted into the air.Just then, Isaac's phone on the table rang.Seeing that it was James and probably about work, he picked it up. "I'm taking this."Irene nodded. "Go on."She lay with Tommy and read it for him, "Home! Home! Sweet, sweet home! There's no place like home!""I like this, Mommy," he said, pointing at the last part. "There's no place like home—does that mean missing where we used to live?"The boy was quite smart for his age, and Irene smiled. "More or less.""I miss home too," Tommy suddenly said."Don't you like it here?" Irene asked.

Lulu could not fall asleep that night. Seeing that the clock was pointing at 4 AM and there was light outside, she slowly got up and went to take a bath.She then put on a face mask—not a skincare product, but a medical item that improved skin growth. It was helping the recovery of her face after surgery, which now carried a completely different appearance.Aside from Irene and others she was close with, no one would recognize her.Still, as she put a hand on the mirror, she suddenly smiled. "This is fine!"She may be accustomed to this face since it was different from before, she had the advantage of concealing herself from Zachary."Lulu…"'Stop.'She pursed her lips bitterly as she remembered her old name and told herself to forget the past—that she was Wendy, not Lulu!Lulu was now dead, and only Wendy could stay with Luna.She cooked a couple eggs for breakfast, and the sun was soon up.She went to get changed, dressing conservatively after which she put on her disguis

Judging from the bottles left strewn around the floor, Zachary must have been drinking last night."Why is he drinking?" Lulu muttered—it was fine since he was an adult, but what if the smell made Luna uncomfortable?"Baby…"She became worried as she remembered her baby and hurried into her room.There were toys everywhere and decorations such as wind chimes—Zachary had clearly made an effort decorating it!Still, Lulu frowned and plucked down the wind chimes that rattled occasionally, since it would bother Luna sleeping.Seemingly sensing her from the cradle, Luna opened her eyes and started to sob.Lulu's heart felt like it could break at her cry! "It's alright, it's alright… Mommy—no, nanny's here!"She corrected herself and did not call herself mommy, since Zachary was prudent enough to set up cameras around the room.She was not going to stay and babysit Luna if he realized that.She gently picked up Luna, feeling exceedingly intimate as she pressed Luna's soft body agai

Zachary certainly had to learn from Wendy in that respect.Meanwhile, as Lulu gently put Luna in the cradle, she was left staring at the baby lovingly, and Lulu would have planted a kiss on Luna's little forehead if not for the cameras!After tucking her in, she tiptoed out of the room and was left staring at the mess in the living room again.Aside from the things she used to prepare the formula just now, everything else was Zachary's fault!"Beer? Really?" Lulu shook her head as she brought a garbage bag and started cleaning up.She would really rather not have Erma return since she was basically abusing her baby, and no mother wants to see that.However, she suddenly found herself a little shallow, since Erma did nothing wrong, and she could be prejudiced against Erma because Luna got sick.Nonetheless, she cleaned up the whole house herself and sorted out everything.Luna's necessities were returned to the sterile cupboard, while her clothes were washed and dried.She made

Vivian said, "Yes, Mr. Slate."As she turned, she glanced at the monitor, and then at Zachary, noting something off about his reaction.One must understand that Vivian had been paying close attention to everything about Zachary ever since she took the role of his personal assistant. Such is society: Once women meet a man with looks and money, they cannot help getting ideas—especially with a single father like Zachary.That was the case for Vivian, who was now obsessed with Zachary.Though she did not show it because she had yet to get a read on his temperament, she was wary since Zachary found himself a young babysitter.She could not quite put her finger on what it was, and she might even be imagining it—Zachary might just be watching the woman, concerned that she was not taking care of his child.She left, informing everyone about meeting in ten minutes and to be punctual.It went as scheduled ten minutes later, with Zachary mostly speaking while the others only speaking whe

"Just leave the coffee here," Zachary snapped.His head was just hurting—Luna was really throwing too much for a fuss to have a good night's sleep, though he was now relieved with the new babysitter.On the other hand, Vivian was not in a hurry to leave even after leaving the coffee. "You're very busy, Mr. Slate, so it's understandable since your baby needs a guardian. Has Erma been doing a good job?"After all, she was the one who arranged for Erma to work as a maid at Zachary's house."Yeah," Zachary replied flatly, but that only left Vivian perplexed.She arranged for Erma since she was an old woman, so why was there a young woman in the cameras today? Who was she? Why was she allowed to babysit?Vivian was all too keen to lay the groundwork to snare Zachary, and she could tell that he cared about his baby a lot.Nonetheless, while her imagination ran wild, Zachary snapped sternly, "Vivian!"Vivian felt goosebumps all over her skin at the tone, since she recognized it—he w

Vivian was fuming when she heard Erma's voice. "Did your brain get fried? Why didn't you take good care of Mr. Slate's daughter?!"Erma was actually feeling wounded as well.She was doing well until she was suddenly told to babysit! And even if she discounted that fact, the nanny who arrived after she did gave her a thorough dressing down!The memories certainly did not sit well with Erma, and knowing immediately that Vivian was calling her to snap at her, she said sarcastically, "That's not quite right, Ms. Crowe. What was that you told me? That you'd pay me if I could get myself hired by Mr. Slate… but I still haven't received that money you promised."Vivian's face fell. "What are you talking about? Are you demanding pay when you can't even do your job?! Do you think our money grows on trees?!"Erma did not flinch despite Vivian's outburst—even if she was a maid, she was a seasoned individual who knew how to fuss over the little things.Puffing up her chest, she snapped back,

It was already 10 AM.After Zachary returned to his office after the meeting, he did not wait to turn on the monitor, which still showed various angles in his home.Luna was awake and had just finished her milk. Wendy had carried her out in the courtyard to bask in the soft sun.There was a shed in the courtyard as well, making it a great place to bring a baby.Luna's tiny clothes were being dried on the veranda nearby. Wendy washed everything by hand with a specialized detergent.She was staring at the baby, holding a toy as she seemed to talk to herself."Are you full yet, baby?""Mr. Slate was saying you were crying a lot last night. That won't do—he's busy with work every day, so you should sleep properly!""Trust me, I'm a professional… sunbathing helps adjust your melatonin levels, and after this, you're definitely sleeping well tonight!"Luna was babbling, her little hand brushing against Wendy's face just then.Zachary felt a weird sensation as he watched, though it w
