to see him again. Ever since Stephanie saw Dominick at Flaming Bar last time, she had stopped mentioning wanting to Likewise, Molly also avoided bringing up "Dominick", "The Wellingtons", or "the kids". They pretended nothing had happened, and life seemed to have returned to its usual cabo.

Stephanie's condition seemed to improve suddenly. She wasn't as depressed as before and sometimes took the initiative to go to the market with Molly to buy groceries and daily necessities.

was a relief.

Molly tried her best to nourish her, and Stephanie didn't refuse her care, which w With Stephanie's improvement, Oscar had been going out more frequently lately. He seemed to be investigating something, always leaving early and coming back late, sometimes even too busy to return home, I'm heading to Roberts now. If anything happens while you're alone at home, call me immediately. By the way, we bought a lot of groceries yesterday, so there's no need to go out today. There's marinated beef in the fridge for dinner. Molly nagged one last time before leaving "Stephanie, are you sure you'll be okay alone?

"What could happen!" Stephanie seemed quite normal now. "Molly, go do what you need to do. Stop treating the

- like I'm useless."

Molly saw Stephanie sitting at the dining table, properly eating sandwiches and milk and was even annoyed by her fussing

"You're really heartless, she grumbled before shurting the door behind her.

Everything seemed to be getting back on track. It had been half a month since Stephanie last saw Dominick. Seeing her regain her spirits and gain three pounds made Molly very happy.

Molly was still working as a nanny at the Roberts. After Dominick returned, she immediately applied to quit, but Scott's son disagreed and threatened her with the inequitable clause in the contract that stipulated she couldn't resign within three months, forcing her to stay.

Despite her master's degree from a renowned overseas university, she was stuck being a nanny. That little brat, Andy, was really hard to deal with, probably inherited from his father Molly, dressed in a light pink apron, with rubber gloves and a white square work cap, looked every bit the part of a housemaid as she diligently scrubbed the wall tiles. She asked. "Are your grandparents still abroad as visiting professors?"

"Even if my grandparents come back, you can still stay here as our nanny. Don't worry." Looking quite smug, Andy dragged a chair over to sit and watch her work, his bright eyes fixated on her for a long time.

Molly turned her head and glared at him. He made it sound like he enjoyed being a laborer in his house. What a brat, she thought.

"Andy, didn't your teacher give you some new assignments? Go to your room and get started. Just looking at him made her frustrated. He was such a small kid, yet his words were always so infuriating.

"I'm waiting for you to make me lunch." Andy answered.

had sped up her work just to get home sooner, and now this brat was making With great momentum, Molly threw the dirty rag into the bucket. She h things difficult for her. "Didn't you just have a bread roll and a bottle of milk!"

Andy wasn't intimidated by her so-called momentum. With a serious face, he looked at her. "My teacher said I'm at a crucial growth stage. Molly. are you trying to starve me?"

"Molly! Hmph, where did this kid learn manners? His dad must be in the study. If Scott weren't here, he'd already be calling me stupid, she thought.

From experience, Molly knew better than to argue with him, as it usually ended up tiring her out. She cursed him inwardly, took off her gloves and cap, and headed to the kitchen to prepare something for the little rascal.

"This is not good. Andy had probably overeaten earlier. He took two small bites of the pasta, then set his fork down, refusing to eat more.

"What exactly do you want to eat, master!" Molly was already losing her patience.

But the child looked at her with innocent eyes and added. "Why are you so impatient? That's not good"

"What's not good""

"My dad d dad doesn't like impatient women. You should practice being more patient, Andy said matter-of-factly.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Molly's face turned dark. She decided to ignore this little devil. She remembered children being easily pleased and cute. What had happened to the world?

Suddenly, she thought about Stephanie's twins. What would their personalities be like if they were still here? Whether they inherited traits from Dominick or Stephanie, they would surely be adorable and fun,

"What are you thinking?" Though Andy liked to cause trouble, he was very perceptive. Seeing her deep in thought, he didn't dare to mess around anymore and instead asked seriously, his childish voice carrying a hint of concern.

"She's been so quiet, so seemingly normal, yet somehow not quite right. All she wants is a bit of simple happiness. Why does it have to be so difficult..." Molly murmured to herself.

Andy was bored and swung his short legs back and forth on the dining chair, his puny mind unable to grasp such profound thoughts.

Today was Friday, and it seemed the teachers at Andy's preschool were having a meeting, so he didn't have to attend classes. Usually, Molly had to pick him up before going home, but today, she quickly prepared lunch and dinner for the father and son, planning to leave early.

I've cooked everything. Just heat it up in the microwave for dinner," she said.

Andy seemed to enjoy clinging to her, initially trying to persuade her to stay longer. At this moment, Scott walked out of the study.

Andy instantly perked up, jumping off the dining chair like he'd been injected with adrenaline, and rushed to his father's side. "Dad, there's a parent-child event on Saturday. You're so busy, you don't need to go. I want Molly to go with me"

Molly turned and met Scott's slightly pale face. She frowned and instinctively asked, "Is your stomach acting up again?"

She hadn't been here for a while because she was worried about Stephanie, Seeing Scott looking so sickly today made her concerned.

"Eat some pasta first. I'll go get your medicine, Molly said, quickly heading to the cabinet for t the medication.

"Stomach issues require proper care.

You're not a kid. You need to pay more attention to your diet. And you shouldn't just take medicine when you're in pain. You need to take it regularly to stabilize your condition. She was turning into quite the housekeeper lately.

Scott indeed felt unwell. He and Vincent had been swamped recently, leaving no time for regular meals or medication Andy quickly seized the opportunity and loudly added, "Dad, see how well Molly takes care of people! Let her come with me. She II do a great job."

Scott looked down at his son, expressionless. It was rare to see the boy so enthusiastic He ruffled his NO son's hair, giving him a meaningful warning. "Don't cross the line, or she might run away."

"She can't run away." Andy replied with an innocent smile.

Molly handed over the medicine, glancing at the father and son. The more she looked, the more com mischievous they seemed. She spoke up-first. "Im not free tomorrow" She planned to take Stephanie on a countryside excursion for some fresh air, hoping it would help lift her spirits.

"How's Stephanie doing lately?!" Scott asked calmly as if he had guessed her intentions.

Molly narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Scott with caution and defensiveness. Given his close relationship with Dominick, she found him increasingly irksome.

"She's fine. She is doing very well. Thank you for asking." Her words dripped with sarcasm.

Scott understood her frustration. The irritated tone from someone typically so gentle amused him. "Dominick has regained some of his memories. He should remember everything soon...

At the mention of Dominick, Molly's temper flared, her voice rising sharply. Tve already told you, Stephanie is fine! She's healthy, normal, and everything is great!" Stephanie indeed seemed normal and calm, even bickering with her occasionally. But it seemed like she no longer trusted anyone.
