Nanny He noticed her expression and said, “This is the smallest room for the nanny, no larger than a cubicle . If it’s too small, I’ll spare some space for you to stay at my place . ”
Shen Manting shook her head and responded, “This is fine . After all, I’m a nanny from now on . There’s no need to treat me differently . ”
Nanny He sympathized with her . “Miss, Master was most likely only joking . You know him, he has a sharp tongue, but he doesn’t necessarily mean his words . Just give in and offer him an apology . Nurse the baby, but you don’t have to stay here…”
“Where should I stay, then?” Shen Manting laughed in a self-mocking tone . “I’m no longer a daughter of the family nor Shen Luo’an’s sister . There’s no place more suitable for me than this room . ”
She set her luggage on the floor continued, “I’ll pick up the baby first and organize the room myself later . You may get on with your work, Nanny He . ”
“All right . Move along, then . ”
Shen Manting set down her bag on the bed and left the room .
Shen Luo’an had coaxed the infant to sleep and was placing him in the crib .
He saw her enter and said, “If there’s anything wrong with the baby later, call me immediately . ”
“Nonsense . ” Shen Manting frowned and reassured, “Nothing will happen to him . ”
Shen Luo’an straightened his posture and started to take off his clothes .
Shen Manting was shocked to see him undress and blurted, “What are you doing?”
Shen Luo’an paused to look at her and replied calmly, “I’m changing my clothes . ”
He tossed his clothes into the laundry basket and slowly opened his wardrobe .
He took out an outfit and took his time to put it on . Then, he turned around and went out .
Shen Manting felt a little uneasy . She only dared to look around the room after he had left .
Shen Luo’an’s room was spacious .
The room was the master bedroom, furnished with a large walk-in wardrobe and a two-meter bed .
The bathroom in the suite was fully equipped with a toilet, a shower, and a bathtub .
It was huge .
The room alone was bigger than all the houses she had stayed in over the past year .
However, the sight of the bed flustered Shen Manting and recalled feelings of fear in her .
Back then, Shen Luo’an had pressed her down on this bed and forced her to do everything she didn’t want to do .
She was humiliated and treated like a whore by him .
Shen Manting felt her chest tense up . She suddenly thought of herself as cheap and lowly .
She looked at the infant soundly asleep in the crib . She felt her heart ache and her eyes began to water .
This was it…
There was no turning back .
She went out and headed for her old room .
The room was still empty and clean .
It seemed to have been converted into a guest room .
There were many rooms inside the villa . The door of Shen Zhilie’s room was shut tightly . The door of the adjacent room was closed as well .
Nanny He came forward and noticed Shen Manting looking at the rooms . She informed her, “These two rooms belong to the younger master . The room he used to occupy is too small for him now that he’s married, so he moved into a bigger room . The couple acquired an apartment unit together . It has already been renovated . They’ll be moving out at the end of this year . ”
Shen Manting nodded . She muttered in a poignant tone, “Zhilie is now all grown up, too . ”
“Indeed . ” Nanny He smiled . “Everyone in the family has achieved happiness, except Master . ”
Shen Manting glanced at her silently .
“He’s a little annoying sometimes, but he’s a decent character at heart,” Nanny He sighed . “He has been rather downcast lately, especially after he came back from Jiangsu . Every day, he sits in a daze with the baby in his arms and doesn’t say a word . ”
