My Babies, My Love

Josephine chuckled and said, "Quit pretending. His car was just parked outside when you were sick the last time. He was even accompanied by his bodyguards." I saw it with my own eyes, so there is no way I can be wrong about this.

• Patricia sighed, realizing Josephine had misunderstood the situation just as she expected. No wonder Josephine didn't return that day. She thought he was my boyfriend, which explains why I'm in such a huge debt right now.

•

"It's not what you think it is, Josephine." She then said nothing more and focused on her meal.

• When she sensed Patricia's displeasure, Josephine decided not to press on with her questions anymore. "Alright, I'm going to get some sleep now. You should probably rest early too."

• "Good night!" said Patricia. Then, she continued to enjoy her soup until her phone rang. When she realized it was a call from Isaac, she immediately picked it up. "Mr. Arnold, how are Young Master Henderson and Young Master Ortega? Are they alright?"

• In the meantime, Isaac was just done with his shower while his two guest rooms would have to be cleaned a few more times. Thanks to Nikola, I'm going to have to spend the whole night cleaning the room. Nevertheless, he smiled and said, "They are fine. Don't worry about them. Are you in bed now?" Since he was unable to make out her voice clearly, he thought she was about to hit the hay with no idea that she was actually eating.

"Nope, I'm enjoying the chocolate mousse dessert Josephine made me."

• When Isaac heard the lady's reply, his appetite was whetted. "Patricia, do you want to double your pay?"

• As soon as Patricia heard about the money, her eyes lit up. She dropped her spoon and replied, "Of course! I'd be dumb if I say no to money that's knocking on my door."

• Meanwhile, Isaac could tell that Patricia was enticed when he offered to double her pay, thinking she must have been struggling to battle the temptation. "From now on, I want some chocolate mousse dessert every night as well."

• When she heard the man's deep voice, Patricia was stunned. "Here's the thing, Mr. Arnold... I don't usually work overtime at night because I need to look after my kids," In fact, she had promised her three kids to spend more time with them, knowing she didn't have much time left until they grew up.

•

After all, the only time she could see them was at night since she was usually busy during the day. When they get into university, I'll only get to see them once every semester; when they start working, we'l probably meet once every year. I'm running out of time now, so I need to treasure all these moments with them.

• On the other hand, Isaac could see through Patricia's reluctance based on her reply. "In that case, can I come to your place and have some chocolate mousse dessert before I leave?" He deemed that idea

•

to be a win-win solution and added, "You could let Mrs. Zimmers do everything, actually. In other words, you're technically getting paid without needing to do anything."

The man was trying to tempt the woman.

That's a steal! Patricia chuckled and said, "Alright, we have a deal! Don't forget to double my pay!"

• Isaac smiled mischievously upon hearing the lady's reply, thinking he could finally visit her without having to find any excuse; he was counting on that to win her children's favor. By then, I'm going to be a part of their family.

Nevertheless, as soon as it flashed across his mind, Isaac immediately snapped out of his train of thought and pulled himself together, realizing something was wrong with himself. Why do I desperately want this woman? I was only having a fling with her before this, but why am I getting serious about it now?

• "It's getting late now, so you should go to bed soon. Good night!" Before Patricia could respond, Isaac hung up the call, his mood seemingly ruined.

• The next morning, Patricia returned home and was about to get on with her work after dropping the kids off at school when someone knocked on the door. She then heard Gus' voice from outside. "Open the door, Patricia."

• She answered the door and asked, "Gus, is it time to sign the contract already?" Isn't it a little too early now? It's only 8.00AM, after all. I thought we were supposed to set out around 9.00AM.

• Desperate to receive his commission, Gus was thinking it would be better for them to be there as early as possible. "Patricia, it'll be around 9.00AM by the time we arrive. They'll be starting work as well." • Patricia felt that Gus had a point, so she smiled and replied, "Alright, give me a moment. Let me grab my ID card."
