บททั้งหมดของ The Billionaire's Babysitter Deal: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

"Dad, is it true?""I don't know who leaked that fake news. It wasn't true."But people wouldn't believe them, of course.Raven gripped his phone tightly, a sense of little relief washed over his flaring anger the moment heard his father's reassuring voice."I'll meet with the team today. We've got this under control. You and Therese must lay low for now. Got it?""Right. I'll talk to you soon." He ended the call.Pressing his lips in a thin line, Raven headed towards the curtain-clad window where the sounds camera flashes and various media devices were heard. The moment that fake news broke, hundreds of media personnel immediately swarmed outside his house, hoping to land a statement from him. Their breakfast was long forgotten."Why don't I go out and talk to them?" Therese peeped at the smallest crack with a worried look on her face. Her eyebrows were furrowed and her face paled in anxiety. Raven closed the window entirely as he embraced her from behind. "That will not be a good i

“I’m so glad that you’ve been living in a comfortable house like this.” If it was a different person that said those words, Raven would have felt irritated. But hearing his mother’s voice devoid of any sarcasm or mockery made all of his emotions mix together in a whirlpool of joy and guilt. If he was being honest, he had already forgotten how sweet her voice was until he heard it again now. "It's not a big deal, mom." That must be the wrong response."It is for me! I needed to know that my son was doing well in my absence." He swallowed hard. How could she look at him with the same loving eyes? How could she not resent him?Her mother was oblivious of his longing gaze. Raven watched her side profile silently as her face lit up the moment she drank in his house's interior luxury. Her mother was a lot older now. there were crow feet in the corner of her eyes everytime she smiles that weren't there before."Have you learned how to cook?" She asked with a teasing grin when they reache

It was chaos the moment they sent their feet off the plane. “Aren’t those the Desmonds?” They didn’t get to give them the raisin bread they bought on the way.“What are they doing here?!” Therese’s fruit basket lay untouched.“So they’re here to bring down our town with them in the dirt, huh?!”Keith’s chocolate cake that he personally picked for the people is now melted.“Mayor, what’s the meaning of this?” "We just saw the news! Mayor, what do you take us for?!"Instead of being greeted by warm welcome, Leonor didn’t expect that daggers and glares would be thrown their way straight at Nelle’s office door. “Listen to me. I have good reasons why I brought them here, alright? Let’s talk this out in a proper meeting.” Nelle pinched the skin between her brows. She was tired from the flight and this kind of greeting wasn’t helping at all. “Tsss.” Raven looked around his surroundings. If it weren't for the atmosphere that her mother's subordinates set on their family image, he would

“Do you think they’ll approve of it?” Leonor sighed heavily as he walked side by side with Nell on their way home.After their meeting with her subordinates, there was a gnawing anxiety bubbling up his chest. He'd like to think he was able to convince the office about his plans. He saw their previously anger-filled eyes turn a little kinder and open to his and Nelle's shared ideas. A few of them even tried raising questions."Trust me, I've seen that kind of silence before. It has to mean something." She patted his shoulders gently, causing his skin to once again crave for her touch. Some things about her never change.When they were younger and just started dating, she had that habit of patting as a gesture of comfort. Now, Leonor knew she never grew out of it."Yeah. I trust you, Nelle..." He stopped his tracks and caught the hand that was on his shoulder before it said goodbye to him again. Nelle was perplexed. Her surprised facial expression dissolved into fondness. It still amazes

“No, it’s not like that! Bend your knees like this before you raise your arms up and swing the metal!”Raven winced at the loud and angry voice aimed at his face. The sun that was shining brightly intensified the sweat trickling down his spine in nervousness.“Alright. Let me try again.” He uttered with his chest up in confidence at the local who was teaching him how to plow a field.If he was being honest, he would consider this as torture. His back was hurting and his insides were itching to rest. Being folded by Therese in bed would be a lot easier compared to this hell."Well, what do you think?" He asked, mustering as much politeness as he could as he stretched the metal blade and struck the soil beneath his feet.A sigh of annoyance was sent his way. "You're too stiff.""I don't understand why you bother to do this. It's not like you, rich people, would resort to blue collar jobs ever."That made him stop. He spat his words with venom so casually and it was evident in his eyes th
