Stella leaned against the chair and said with a light smile, âYouâre not a babysitter because I wonât give you a salary.â
Madison was rendered speechless.
She questioned angrily, âHow can you expect me to do this?â
Stella said slowly, âTo be honest, both of us are clear of the reason why you wanted to introduce Logan to me before. Iâve never been a generous person. Other people commented me as a wicked person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.â
Madison stammered, âThat... that thing has been a past long ago. How about this? I will apologize to you again. Anyway, donât vent your anger on my husband. Iâm willing to accept the consequences of my doing.â
âOkay. But you should agree to my condition.â
âWhatâs it?â
âI told you just now: help me take care of a baby.â Stella added, âBut I have to remind you in advance: if you agree to it, the babyâs safety is bound up to your daughterâs safety.â
Madisonâs expression slightly changed. âWhat do you mean?â She asked.
Stella slightly pressed her lips together, âI mean I will threaten you with your daughter. So you can give me a reply after sleeping on it.â
Madison frowned, âYou bewildered me. Baby? What do you mean? How can you have a baby?â
âItâs my baby. I gave birth to a baby before.â
âWhoâs the babyâs father?â
Stella just looked at her and didnât reply.
Madison coughed and took a sip of coffee, âHow old is the baby?â
âEight months.â
âItâs true that I have experience in taking care of a baby. But I took care of my baby with the support of a babysitter, so Iâm not sure whether if I can do it well. What if the baby gets hurt and you blame me for that?â
âRest assured. Someone will help you take care of the baby. Heâs not naughty and you just have to take care of his daily life, feed him and change his diapers. I will come back in the evening.â
Madison asked, âAre you really going not to pay me?â
Stella asked, âWell, how much do you want?â
Madison showed her fingers, âMay I?â
âOf course. I will deduct it from your husbandâs salary.â
Madison was rendered speechless.
She couldnât help denounce her, âYouâre so mean. I donât know whom you learn this from.â
When Stella prepared to answer her question, a manâs face popped out into her mind. She paused for a while and then curled her lips into an inexplicable smile.
Madison continued, âWell, I will try my best to take care of your baby. But we should make clear some matters. Firstly, our grudges shall be a past. I admitted that I was jealous of you before. Secondly, you canât seek trouble for my husband due to your grudge against me. Thirdly, ...â
Madison paused and then added, âHow long will I have to take care of the baby?â
Stella pondered for a while and then replied, âIt will not be too long.â
âThatâs good. Iâm fine with it if you just want me to take care of the baby for one or two months. Itâs acceptable even if it will last for three or four months. But if it lasts for too long, Iâm afraid that I will have some problems with it.â
âWhat are the problems?â
Madison replied, âRaising a child is like raising a pet and I will develop feelings towards him if I take care of him for a long time. Moreover, you wonât give me any salary and you can ask me to leave at will. How unfair!â
Stella curled her lips into a smile, âWell. I see.â
They then left the café together. Madison couldnât help but ask, âCome on, you will not really use my daughter to threaten me, right? Sheâs just a kid.â
Stella said in a calm voice, âI was not joking. I canât find a person suitable for this job, nor do I trust you. So I have to get something on you.â
Madison clicked her tongue, âI donât know what youâre doing. Clarence is your husband and both Horace and Emmett were once your wooers. Yet you said you couldnât find a person suitable for this job or a person to trust?â
Stella turned her head to look at her, âCan they take care of the baby?â
Madison was rendered speechless.
She snorted after a short while, âRest assured. As long as Iâm alive, your son will be safe and sound. Donât try to hurt my daughter.â
Stella raised her brows, âLetâs go.â
Madison was not a vicious woman in nature. It was just that she had been jealous of Stella since they were in university and she would feel happy when seeing Stellaâs miserable life. She married Samuel after graduation and became a housewife. Then she had a cute, obedient daughter and lived happily with her family. She didnât need to worry about money and could buy any clothes or bags she liked. She had always been feeling superior to others.
However, maybe it was because she learned a lesson from that matter, she adjusted her attitude.
Most importantly, Stella was clear that Madison loved her daughter and Samuel a lot.
Samuel was one of her subordinates whom she could trust. Therefore, Stella came to Madison.
Daniel also arranged his subordinates for her.
Therefore, there would be no problem even if Madison wanted to take the baby out.
On the way back, Stella found the weather was getting hotter and hotter and went to the supermarket to buy some thin clothes and baby powder for the baby.
Stella got into her car after shopping and saw the towering Conrad Tower not far away.
She heaved a sigh. What a coincidence that she came to the vicinity.
She heard that Clarence left the hospital yesterday and pondered whether that wretched man had felt better.
Stella pondered for a while. She went to a restaurant to buy some food and soup that would help recovery, wore a mask and then walked into the Conrad Tower.
She put the take-out food on the reception desk and said, âExcuse me, please give this to Nathan.â
The receptionist didnât recognize her, âWhatâs your relationship with Mr. Lance?â
âWe have no relationship. I just come here to send some food to him.â
âBut Mr. Lance came out with Mr. Conrad this afternoon and Iâm not sure whether if they will come back tonight. How about this? Maybe you can give a call to them.â
Stella was stunned when she heard the words, âThey went out? Where did they go?â
This wretched man was so ambulant. Werenât he afraid that his wounds would be torn apart?
Stella got into the car and put the food she bought in the passenger seat.
She didnât need to cook tonight and could heat the food.
After arriving downstairs, Stella parked her car and took out the food she bought.
There were many bags of food and Stella had to carry them with both hands. She walked to the lift. When she prepared to press the lift button, a hand reached past her and pressed the button.
Stella turned around and saw a manâs black, unfathomable eyes.
Several seconds later, she turned around expressionlessly.
Clarence didnât say anything and followed her into the lift.
There were only Stella and Clarence in the lift.
Clarence asked in a low, charming voice, âWhich floor?â
âDonât you know it?â
âOut of politeness.â
After finishing the words, Clarence pressed the number 17.
Polite, my ass.
