Chapter 56: Is She His Nanny
Chapter 56: Is She His Nanny
"Are you having fun, Little lan?"
"Mhm."
Both of them were sitting in a small wooden boat that could seat only a parent and a child.
It wasn't powered by anything and could only move by manually pedaling and rowing the double oars.
Hence, when Amora pedaled, lan would use his little hands to row the oars.
His face was flushed and perspiration coated his forehead, but his beautiful eyes were exceptionally bright, which was a stark contrast to his usual aloof self.
Amora smiled along with him and continued pedaling vigorously, about to bring him to play some more.
Just then, her phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Madam, oh my God.What were you thinking? How could you kidnap lan and run away like that? Goodness gracious, I really can't...Please, come back quickly or you'll be done for!"
The moment Amora answered the call, Kylo's frenzied voice reached her ears.
Her expression fell as she asked, "What's wrong? He knows? No...I didn't kidnap Little lan.He didn't want to see his grandpa, so I brought him out with me.That's all."
Oh God, doesn't she understand the gravity of the situation now? Kylo didn't bother to elaborate further.
Instead, he begged her to quickly bring lan back and said that if she didn't, she would never be allowed to see lan again.
Amora finally came to her senses and brought a very reluctant lan back on shore.
"Little lan, our fun stops here for today.You just fell sick, so you can't play too much.Let's go find Daddy now, okay?"
"Daddy?"
lan was an immensely intelligent child, so he instantly realized that something was off by listening to his mother's words.
However, Amora would never tell him anything she deemed inappropriate for a child's ears.
After coaxing him a little, she carried him back to the car, and they both left the amusement park, heading toward Ronin Corporation.
Twenty minutes later, the car drove into the city center and approached Ronin Corporation.Then, it rolled to a stop in front of the skyscraper.
After receiving the call from Kylo earlier, Amora didn't have the inclination to go in whatsoever.From Kylo’s tone, she knew for a fact that that man would make things difficult for her if she went up.
Unfortunately...
"Ms.Esme?"
"Oh, alright.I will bring you up, hmm?"
Amora snapped out of her trance.
Glancing at the boy beside her who still looked a little pale and sickly, she alighted the car and brought him down.
"Oh, the president's son is here.Hi, little one.I see you finally have some time to come over."
Perhaps because Kane often brought lan to the company, everyone there knew who he was.
As soon as Amora led him in, the front desk receptionist immediately came over to greet him warmly.
lan never liked speaking, so he merely shot a fleeting glance at her.
To dispel the awkwardness, Amora quickly answered for him, "Yes, his father asked me to bring him here.Is he in his office now?"
"Oh, yes, yes.The president didn't go out this afternoon.Oh? I've never seen you before.Are you the newly hired nanny for Mr.Ronin’ son? You're very young!"
Unexpectedly, the receptionist posed such a question after giving Amora a once-over.
Following that, Amora's whole body stiffened.
Nanny? Hah! Isn't that the truth though? She didn't dare to acknowledge this child as her own at that moment.
Besides, no one in this building knew that she was once the president's wife and would have been the lady boss here because their wedding back then hadn't even been announced to the public.
Amora lowered her gaze as a self-deprecating smile played on her lips.
Just when she was about to admit to being a nanny, the small hand she was holding abruptly tugged her twice.
"Let's go!"
lan's eyes were extremely hostile as if someone had provoked him.
Upon seeing this, Amora did not waste a second, quickly bringing him to the elevator.
Not long after, the front desk receptionist received a notice of dismissal from the Human Resource Department.
The reason for her dismissal was because lan didn't like her! Amora brought lan to the president's office on the highest floor.
"Ahem...Little lan, why don't you go in on your own, hmm? I won't be going with you.Your daddy is inside, so it wouldn't be very appropriate for me to go in.Is that okay?"
Amora's reluctance to see Kane had steadily increased all the way here.
Standing right outside his office, she finally succumbed to it.
lan looked at her and agreed, "Okay!"
Then, he obediently let go of her hand and made his way into the office.
Amora was stunned.No way.
That was too easy.
He really agreed? He's usually very clingy.
Why is he so obedient all of a sudden? Amora was rather surprised that her son had agreed so readily, but at the same time, she was beyond delighted at how smoothly things went.
She slowly turned around and tiptoed toward the elevator, hoping to quickly leave this place.
"Amora! Get in here!"
However, her hopes were crushed when a voice boomed from inside the office.
Suddenly, her whole body was frozen to the spot, as if held by an invisible force.
How is that scum's hearing so sharp? Like a meek little girl, Amora obediently approached his office.
"Good afternoon, Mr.Ronin."
She let out an awkward laugh.
Upon stepping into the office, her eyes were immediately drawn toward the man sitting behind the large desk.
In the spacious and brightly illuminated office, sunlight poured in through the French windows, creating a halo around his figure. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Right then, he looked like a king reigning over his kingdom in his throne, so noble and lofty no one dared to look at him directly.
