Chapter 3

Back at the villa, Brady supported me with gentle care all the way, yet his other hand remained tightly clasped with Carmen’s fingers.

The nanny hurried over from afar to greet them, saying to Carmen:

“Mrs. Voss, you’re finally back! The baby woke up just now and started crying again when he didn’t see you…”

Brady frowned and cut her off: “Who are you calling ‘Mrs. Voss’?”

Only then did the nanny notice I was there. Slapping her forehead, she quickly corrected herself and said to me:

“I’m so sorry, Mrs. Voss! Look at me, going senile. I had an urgent matter for Ms. Jenkins, but seeing you arrive flustered me, and I accidentally called Ms. Jenkins ‘Mrs. Voss.”

Brady shot her a warning glance: “Get out of here. Make a clumsy mistake like that again, and you won’t see a penny of your year-end bonus.”
