All Chapters of Nanny For The Billionaire : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

A few days had passed and Scarlett had barely seen Lucas. After their date, he had gone on a business trip and he had not told her how long he would be gone for. Her mind drifted to the events of the date night, the day Lucas finally touched her. They had driven home and the kids were already asleep. They were barely able to keep their hands off each other and they had forgotten about the divided bed rule that they had created for themselves. They had sex almost the whole night, and Lucas had been a gentleman. It was as though he was insistent on exploring her body and getting to discover what she hid underneath. She was beautiful and he knew it. She was the woman he wanted, one he longed for.It had been three days and she dialed his number again for the umpteenth time. He had woken up very early that morning to her surprise and noiselessly packed a bag for the trip. He had walked up to her side of the bed and planted a kiss on her forehead."Te quiero mucho Scarlett," he had said m

Lucas could not help but notice that Scarlett had been distant since the ball, and it had bothered him. She flared up at the slightest provocation and had even refused him touching her.He knew that things had gotten worse when she stopped sleeping in his bedroom and took to Daphne's own instead. When he asked her, she said she did not like the dark sheets, and the chandelier lit up the room unusually and was inconvenient for sleeping."I will send for the interior designer tomorrow to change everything to your taste," he had told her. She asked him not to bother but it bothered him more. He spent most nights in his study, immersed in work and thinking about her.As they sat at the breakfast table on a rainy morning with the children, he kept stealing glances at her. She barely touched her food. He was soon done with his breakfast before he moved over to where she was."I need to talk to you now," he said to her. The silent treatment was taking a toll on him and he missed her dearly, e

Lucas' hand patted Scarlett's shoulder almost immediately. "I thought you said he was not coming," Scarlett whispered to Daphne who sat beside her."I swear, he said he had a business meeting and would not make it," Daphne said apologetically. "Hello everyone," Cole continued as he walked majestically towards the dinner table. "Hello Scarlett," he said, smiling down at her. She looked away immediately. "Please take a seat Cole so we can commence dinner," Lucas said. He noticed that Scarlett was uneasy and he did not like it.Cole's eyes rested on Scarlett with a grin on his face as he pulled out a seat and sat opposite him. "Cole darling, it's been a long time since we saw," Tiana began flirtatiously as he said beside her. She placed her hand on his but he dragged it away immediately. Scarlett saw Tiana's face go pale. She laughed quietly.The stewards started dinner immediately. The appetizer was soup, and Scarlett inhaled deeply as it came before her."So Scarlett, what have you

Scarlett was quiet for the first few minutes as she tried to comprehend what he had just said."What do you mean by your ex-wife?" Scarlett began rhetorically. "You said she was dead for crying out loud."Lucas did not still turn to look back at her. He did not want the brewing argument to take full fledge. He wanted to ask her to marry him tonight, but he knew that Clara's call had already soured all his plans. He had not been completely honest with her, and he knew that even though he still went ahead with his plans, she would be reluctant."She is dead to me," he muttered."Can you make me understand what you are talking about?" Scarlett asked him, as she rolled her eyes in exhaustion."She left me and the kids to pursue a career in modeling," Lucas finally answered."The kids were very sick at that time, and I was trying to make a living," he continued, as he finally turned around to face her."We talked about it, and I told her that if she walked out on me and the sick children,

Scarlett turned around to meet the eyes of the most beautiful woman that she had ever met, with a face that seemed very familiar. She soon came to recognition. This face was on popular magazine covers, and it was only in her dreams that she ever thought of seeing her in real life. She had a smile on her face that made her lips curl a little. Her eyes were bold and lined properly. Her nose looked like it was sculptured in a lab and her hair flowed down to her waist. She was beautiful and elegant at the same time. She reeked of wealth and class, and Scarlett knew that she would have a hard time fitting in."What are you doing here, Clara?" Lucas asked.Clara!Scarlett called her name over and over in her head. It was almost unbelievable. The woman who stood before her was gorgeous. She was tall, and her slim well-toned frame did justice to the small dress she had on. She looked graceful in a pair of low heels that she did not need.Clara's eyes flew to Scarlett instead and a small laugh
