Helen nodded and looked at Shannon up and down carefully.

“The heroine of my MV is a bikini-clad woman. But I do not want someone skinny, instead, I prefer a full-body and lovely woman. You fit very much in this regard. By the way, Ethan, will you allow me to borrow Ms. Somers to get changed and have an audition?”

Helen asked Ethan who was silent carefully.

Ethan slightly pushed Dayle aside when she was about to feed him with orange juice, “It depends on her.”

Dayle chuckled and said scornfully in his ear, “It’s such a good thing. She can not only make a profit, but also have a chance to be famous. Only a fool would refuse it.”

Ethan turned away and began to tune his instruments, showing no expression on his solemn face. While Lance seemed to be conscious of something unusual.

Helen clapped her hands, “Hey, pretty girl, come here.”

Seeing this, Shannon walked over with the vacuum cleaner in her hand, “What can I do for you?”

She thought Helen would ask her to clean up the rubbish next to her. She couldn’t help but look around to see if there was any rubbish that needed to be dumped.

Helen smiled, stepped forward and gazed at Shannon.

Shannon touched her own face, looked down shily and then asked Helen, “May I ask you what can I do for you?”

Helen, who was mature and powerful, lifted Shannon’s chin and squinted, “Would you like to take a short film with me? A short video for my music. You have a good figure. I want you to have an audition.”

Dayle giggled, “Ms. Somers, it’s a rare chance. Helen is famous and qualified in the music circle. You don’t have to worry about your future if you follow her instructions.”

Shannon hesitated for a moment. Then she couldn’t help but look at Ethan.

Ethan, without taking a look at her, tuned the music instruments with his slender hands elegantly.

Dayle’s smile was suddenly frozen. There were jealousy and anger hidden in her eyes.

“Girl, make your own decisions. Even if Ethan is your boss, he will not interfere with your thoughts.” Helen said softly in her ear.

Shannon was struggling deep inside. She was short of money and needed five million dollars to pay Sienna’s debt. Any chance that can make money would draw her consideration.

In this way, she could also prevent herself from getting money from Ethan.

“Once the audition is a success, you will get paid considerably.” Helen stressed it again.

Shannon nodded, “Okay, I’ll have a try.”

Sometimes she hated money, but she needed it pressingly as well. Money was a must for human beings to survive in the world.

“Very good. Go prepare for it then. Don’t worry. I will ask a leave for you from Ethan.” Helen gave her a pat on the shoulder to encourage her.

Shannon nodded. Before she went away, she took a look at Ethan again.

“Humph! These are women who can do anything for money, let alone sell their bodies.” Looking at the back of the Shannon, Dayle sneered.

Hearing it, Lance shook his head, “Not exactly. Everyone wants to be famous, including us.”

Dayle looked at Ethan, who remained silent, and refuted Lance with a sneer, “You earned it with your efforts step by step, but some people just want to skip all that hard work. They think they can eleap ahead by spreading their legs wide...”

“Don’t be so mean when you don’t truly know a person.” Ethan’s voice was cold, cutting her off abruptly.

Suddenly, the recording room turned so quiet that even the dropping voice of a needle would be audible.

Dayle was not reconciled. She looked at Ethan, “Am I wrong? Is she able to get this chance to be famous without us? I don’t understand why you care about her so much?”

Ethan didn’t respond, overlapped his legs and plucked a syllable with one hand. He didn’t want to argue with her in front of outsiders.

Helen tried to ease the atmosphere, “That is true. However, fame also depends on luck and talent. Even if one is on a high platform, it is of no use if he or she has no talent. Dayle, this girl will thank you for your promotion once she became famous one day.”

Dayle stopped talking. She sat down and sulked.

Putting on a headset, Ethan stood up, guided Abul to play bass, and immersed himself in the work.

Dayle pushed the stroller and walked out silently.

Behind her, she could feel the watchful eyes of those assigned to monitor her. They were the two staff members Ethan had sent toensure she didn’t pose any danger to Wesley and Nancy.

The more she thought about it, the more she hated him. Her own husband, keeping her under surveillance like some untrustworthy stranger. All those long nights, she longed for him to fulfill his duties as a husband, but instead, he hid away in the rehearsal room. She was really fed up with it!

Dignified as a princess, she felt frustrated time after time because of Ethan. She couldn't accept it - she was far from being reconciled!

Dayle squeezed her hand pushing the stroller a little bit tight.

Back into the bedroom, her mother Yasmin called.

Dayle answered the phone.

“Dayle, how was it going? Did Shannon leave? Did the plan work?” Yasmin asked smugly.

Dayle’s eyes were filled with jealousy, “Mom, she could have left, but Ethan did not approve it and he secretly cancelled her marriage with Mason. Mom, I will never allow that bitch to get close to Ethan. I’ve already introduced her to Helen to shoot a short film video with Shannon. I swear I’ll make her be insulted and suffering...”

For the first time, she ordered Susan and Amy to tamper the stroller. Yet, even after the two children fell on their faces, Ethan still had no intention of dismissing Shannon. For the second attempt, she had Susan, Amy and Coade scheme to match Shannon with Mason. Still, it was all in vain.

She now was sure there must be something between Shannon and Ethan!

In the recording studio, Ethan’s private phone suddenly rang. Glancing down, he saw the notification on the monitor connected to his phone. Putting down the headset, he paused the recording, and switched to his earpiece instead.

He could hear clearly Dayle’s voice in it...

After Shannon cleaned the room, Helen came to find her.

“Hey, Shannon, you ready?” Helen asked warmly.

Actually, she really thought this girl was suitable for the image of her MV’s female lead.

Shannon was still so young, yet she had already been married, divorced, and had a child. Helen couldn’t help but feel pity for all her sufferings.

Shannon smiled and put down her work, “Ms. Helen, I can have the audition with you at any time, but before that I have to ask a leave from Mr. Yates.”

After all, she was still working for Ethan at present.

Helen denied her, “Don’t worry. I have already spoken to Ethan about your leave and he has approved that. You don’t have to be afraid of him. He may seem cold on the outside, but he’s kind at heart”

Shannon nodded and agreed, “Yeah, I know.”

Helen gave Shannon a business card before she left and told her to go to Eddie Cineplex to meet her. Shannon bore the address in mind and kept the business card.

At this moment, Ethan came out from the studio. Shannon put away the business card, and went over to greet him.

Ethan seemed not to hear it. He put on his coat and passed her by.

He became colder than before. His eyes were no longer as soft as the previous days. He ignored her as if she did not exist.

Shannon’s heart jolted. She turned around and looked at his back, “Mrs. Yates has been taking care of the babies these days. I have nothing to do, so I want to keep myself occupied with something else. Mr. Yates, you don’t have to pay me for the days I’m on leave.”

Ethan stopped. His eyes lingered on her face for a few seconds, “Since you’ve decided to have the audition, you’d better go to bed earlier.”

He went upstairs after that.

Shannon wanted to explain that the relationship between her and Mason was not as they thought it was. But she felt that it was not reason for her to say that, so she swallowed the words for the time being.

Looking at the back of Ethan, her thoughts were taken back to the day he was sick...

He must had forgotten what happened on that day. She wished that he had forgot about it.

Back to the room, Shannon went to bed after washing.

Unexpectedly, in the midnight, the service bell on the bedside rang. Every time the service bell rang, she would be very nervous.

“Was there anything wrong with Wesley and Nancy?”

She put on one of her clothes casually, and rushed to Wesley and Nancy’s room.

Wearing a black night robe, Ethan patted and comforted Wesley, trying to lull him to sleep.

But it was useless and he was in hopelessness.

Wesley kept kicking in Ethan’s arms without stopping. His little hands waved in the air and cried uncomfortably.

Unlike her brother, Nancy slept tight.

Shannon went over. Seeing Wesley’s dark blue face and hoarse voice, she frowned lovingly, “What’s wrong with him?”

She reached out her hands and took Wesley over.

Normally, his cries would cease as soon as Shannon held him, but today was different—he wailed without stopping.

“Perhaps he is hungry.” Ethan was concerned, putting aside the bottle of milk, “Breastfeed him.”

Having her back to Ethan, Shannon unbuttoned her bra and began to breastfeed him.

Ethan turned his back as well and stood by Nancy’s cradle.

However, Wesley refused to get fed, which made both of them even more worried.

“What happened to him?” Ethan touched Wesley’s forehead and felt that he got nothing to do with a fever. Then he unbuckled his pants and checked if the diapers were dirty.

He woke Shannon up because he had no idea what to do.

“Sir, leave him to me. I guess he should be somewhere uncomfortable.” Shannon checked Wesley carefully.

Ethan said nothing and sighed sadly.

At this time, Wesley began to vomit suddenly. Shannon and Ethan immediately alerted.

Shannon held him up straight, gently patted his back and swayed him up and down from time to time.

Wesley began to vomit once again. He spit out a red bean.

After that, he stopped crying. He held Shannon tightly with tearful eyes. Shannon picked up the milk bottle and then fed him with some water.

There was a hint of anger in Ethan’s painful eyes.

He investigated this incident overnight, and finally learned from the servants that Dayle bought the red bean milkshake for the babies before they went to bed.

Even if the woman did not know how to be a mother, she could at least learn a bit basic parenting skills. How could she feed solid food to a baby under one year old! Ethan decided to forbid Dayle to take care of them from the next day.

Shannon comforted Wesley. She patted and stroked him lightly, trying to lull him to sleep. But Wesley lay in the arms of Shannon, looking at her without sleeping.

Shannon took a caressed kiss on his face and tried to put him in the cradle.

Wesley began to snivel. He clutched Shannon’s collar and wanted Shannon to hold him.

Shannon had no choice but to do so.

“Why don’t you go to bed first? You can’t stay with him the whole night if he will not sleep.” Ethan walked over and poured a glass of water for her.

“It doesn’t matter, sir. You’d better have a rest first. I’ll be here to take care of them.” Shannon lowered her head. She touched on Wesley’s face and smiled softly at him.

She hadn’t taken care of them for a few days. Actually, she really missed them.

Ethan sat on the sofa instead of leaving, “Dayle is in the bedroom and I will rest here.”

Shannon was stunned. She looked up at Ethan, and looked away quickly, “How about I take Wesley to my room? In this way, he will not bother you to rest.”

“Don’t worry. Dayle has fallen asleep. She will not come in all of a sudden.” He knew that she was trying to avoid Dayle’s suspicion.

In fact, in order to avoid Dayle’s entanglement, he provided her with “sleeping aids” medicine every night before she went to sleep.

He couldn’t satisfy her physical desires. Why bothered to make her in a frenzy? Every time their sexual life ended up with disharmonies, she would scream like she was mad. He was really fed up with her.

He shouldn’t have started this ridiculous marriage at the very beginning.

Looking at his innocent son, Ethan’s heart soon became soft.

Shannon answered him, “Hm”. Then she just lowered her head and looked at Wesley.

At this time, Wesley sat up energetically. He pointed at Ethan, “Daddy...”
