While the store assistant was away, Erma returned.Dropping to a crouch and grabbing Lulu's leg, she cried, "Please, lady! I'm begging you—let me keep working for Mr. Slate! I promise not to mess up!"Many people outside were quickly drawn by the commotion, and upon seeing the plainly-dressed woman crouching on the floor, they were immediately in an uproar!"What is this, bullying?""No way. Carrying a baby?""Should we record this and post it online?"Sensing danger, Lulu promptly lowered her head, glared into Erma's flustered eyes, and cleared her throat. "Look—Mr. Slate will be leaving work soon. I'll call him and talk about your situation, and I won't argue if he agrees to take you back!"People would misunderstand if they kept tussling and causing a scene!And as soon as Lulu was finished, Erma briskly rose to her feet, grinning ear-to-ear. "Thank you, lady! Don't worry—as long as Mr. Slate is willing to meet me, I won't bother you ever again!"Just then, the store assist

"Bleurgh…" Luna twitched and reached out to grasp Lulu's hair with her tiny hand!"It's alright." Lulu could not help smiling when she saw that and turned back to Zachary. "It's alright, Mr. Slate—we're right outside the apartment compound. I'd like to take Luna out for a stroll, and I'll just walk inside."While neither Zachary nor Lulu were looking at Erma, Erma started to reach for Lulu.Lulu took a step forward just then and stayed out of her grasp by chance!Zachary reacted right then, grabbing Erma's wrist and shoving her aside, almost knocking her off her feet.He glared icily at her, leaving her petrified!"Your severance fee has been paid," he growled. "So I don't want to see you near this place ever again. Do you understand?"His intimidating glare left Erma petrified and hanging her head in fear.And with that warning, Zachary strode into the apartment himself.-Meanwhile, Lulu had already brought Luna back to the apartment, feeling curious even as she opened the

Luna was awake.After being taken out for a stroll, she was excitedly flailing her stubby arms, looking utterly adorable.An almost imperceptible tenderness showed on Zachary's face as he looked at Luna. "You're that happy, huh?"Lulu handed him Luna's bottle just then, and he started feeding the baby.The baby must be hungry, too—she started to claw at the bottle when she felt it, her tiny pink lips searching for the nipple."Ms. Jones, is there anything to take note of while feeding babies?" Zachary suddenly asked as he turned.Luna was smiling at Luna, pausing for a moment when her gaze met Zachary's before going to work."Here!" she said as she demonstrated it to him. "Since Luna's quite happy staying in bed, you don't have to pick her up. But you also have to be careful, since she could choke easily if she's in the wrong posture."Zachary quietly watched her working so delicately, just as she smiled when Luna started drinking eagerly when she reached the nipple."Well don

There was a deeper meaning, and it was quite good. With everything changing, it meant Lulu had severed her ties to the past. Zachary would not have seen the child either nor remembered the times before…"Hngh…"Star had just finished her milk and was sweating over her forehead.Seeing the empty bottle, Lulu smiled and wiped Star's sweat. "She's such a glutton, but it's proof that it's healthy since she really needs the nutrients now!"As she picked up the baby and played with her a little, Star's eyes started drooping—babies get sleepy easily."Star…" Lulu murmured just then.Zachary looked on and said nothing as he turned to leave the room.He had left work early but did not have the time to eat.When he was thinking about getting something to eat from the kitchen, Lulu had already tucked Star back inside her cradle. After some thought, Lulu headed into the kitchen. "Is there something you'd like to eat?""Yeah. I didn't work late today, but I didn't eat outside either,"

After Vivian laid out all the food on the table, she got a bowl from the kitchen and poured in the chicken soup herself, saying, "I ordered the chicken myself from a farm. It's the type fed with proper grains and never locked in coops. Chickens reared like that are the best! Some of it was used at the cafeteria, but since you didn't eat, the soup has cooled, so I made another bowl for you after I got home! Also, I saw the beef from the nearby market looked fresh, so I cooked it too. Why don't you try and see if you like it?"Zachary took a seat as Vivian continued to fawn over him, looking neutral and accepting of everything she was doing.He actually felt repulsed but did not show it.Instead, he subtly glanced at Lulu, who stood there, unmoved.Feeling a little frustrated just then, he turned coolly toward the finely cut beef which was stir-fried with peppers. It was steaming since it was just cooked and looked perfectly fine, but Zachary simply did not feel an appetite!On the

Before Lulu could leave, Zachary turned and saw her, calling out, "Ms. Jones!"As Lulu paused, he slowly wiped his mouth with a tissue and pointed at Lulu while telling Vivian, "I haven't introduced you—she's the new babysitter I hired."Vivian was just about to put more food on Zachary's plate, and she straightened right then. "Babysitter? I see…"There was nothing wrong with her tone, but Lulu felt hostility the instant their eyes met!"This is my assistant, Vivian!" Zachary continued just then.Lulu did not react, even smiling cheerfully since she knew when to keep her distance. "Nice to meet you. I'm the childcare worker Mr. Slate hired for his baby.""You're quite young, I'm surprised you'd be a childcare worker. You must be impressive since Mr. Slate would hire you himself," Vivian said, probing her with a smile and flattery. "Mr. Slate always had a good eye, and there must be something about you that sets you apart. I hope you can take good care of his baby!""Also…" She

"No!" Vivian promptly refused, even stuffing all the things she bought into Lulu's hands. "Mr. Slate is busy, and entrusting you to buy his baby's belongings is a sign of his trust. You should do your best. It's the same for me as Mr. Slate's assistant. Since he keeps me around, he definitely thinks highly of me."The last part was meant for Zachary and not Lulu, and after shoving everything into Lulu's hands, Vivian smiled and returned to Zachary's side."Mr. Slate, children should be treasured, especially daughters," she said softly while leaning close to him.Zachary promptly stepped off to the side, distancing himself.She was certainly disgusting and he wanted to chase her away, only to see that Lulu was reacting.He promptly stopped himself.Lulu realized that she had not been controlling her reaction either and deliberately picked one of the gimmicks Vivian brought.It had quality, but could a mere assistant afford it? She must have been paying through the nose to woo Z

The more Lulu cared about Star, the more Vivian found her to be a threat.Nonetheless, Lulu said, "I'm a professional child care worker Mr. Slate hired. Just leave the baby to me, you can stay with Mr. Slate—"Before she could finish, however, Vivian had grabbed her hand!Raising a brow, she said, "I have experience with my cousin's children, and you look like you haven't had dinner. Why don't you go out for some food?"And with that, both of them stood in place in a stalemate.Still, before Vivian could press the issue, Zachary appeared behind them. "What are you doing?"Star was still crying, while both women were standing in place as if frozen still."Mr. Slate!" Vivian was promptly smiling. "I just came in to check since the baby started crying, and she might be sick or something."Lulu seized the moment to free herself from Vivian's grasp and backed away.She promptly came up with an excuse to leave, saying, "Mr. Slate, she just need her diaper changed—""What a coincide
