Ethan said simply, “A babysitter for Wesley and Nancy.”

Being stared, Shannon felt uncomfortable. Shannon greeted Ms. Renee, she was ready to leave.

“Wait a moment!” Renee blocked her way.

Shannon stopped.

Ethan was somewhat displeased.

“Ethan, is she the babysitter that mom always wanted you to dismiss? Why haven’t you done it?” Renee raised her voice and asked Ethan.

Ethan seemed more serious than before, “It’s none of your business. Shannon, go upstairs to take care of the babies.”

Following his orders, Shannon walked over to Renee.

When she went upstairs, she heard that Renee persistently questioning Ethan lwithout relent, “Wasn’t she going to marry a gardener? Why did you transfer that gardener to Modopolis? To separate them? Ethan, don’t tell me you have a crush on a babysitter!”

Shannon stopped and stayed put once again,

“Did the gardener she mentioned refer to Mason? It was Ethan who transferred him to Modopolis...”

Shannon was utterly confused. From Renee’s words, it seemed Ms. Renee misunderstood her relationship with Ethan.

Shannon went upstairs to the bedroom uneasily. Seeing Wesley and Nancy were sleeping tight, she could not help but sit there in low spirits.

“How’s the auction? Did you sell out the clothes?” Ethan asked.

Ethan had sent his sister away.

Shannon recalled her thoughts. Then she nodded, “Yes, the auction is very successful and I have already mailed the donation money to them.”

Ethan was very concerned about the sick and the disabled, “Is it enough? Tell me if it is not enough.”

“Yeah, sir, it’s enough. Thank you.”

Shannon raised the money in the name of donation, but she used the five million dollars to pay the debt for her sister Sienna. Shannon felt guilty for her cheating. Looking at his earnest eyes, she felt rather despicable about herself.

She decided to pay off his money when she got money, including all the debt she owed him.

“It doesn’t matter. You’re doing me a favor to help them.” Ethan poured her a glass of juice.

“I will go to Modopolis to participate in an anniversary show the day after tomorrow. It would not be convenient to take you and the babies. Stay at home and take good care of them, is that okay?” Ethan sat down and looked at Shannon.

Last time, he planned to take Shannon and the babies to his home in Modopolis, but they delayed resulting from the affair of Shirley’s aunt. They had never returned home since then.

But this time, he didn’t want to bring a babysitter and his babies to the public because the media in Modopolis had a keen interest in exploring his private life. He didn’t want to raise any unnecessary issues.

Moreover, Mason worked at his manor in Modopolis...

Shannon held the juice and lowered her head. Her uneasy face was reflected in the liquid.

“I will do my best to take care of them. And, sir, there is something I want to tell you.” Shannon held the cup and tightened it little by little.

“Sure, go ahead.” Seeing her embarrassment, Ethan seemed to be aware of something.

“Well, I really don’t want us to be misunderstood by others. Can I stay away from you when you are around?” She recalled what Renee had just said.

Though she never intended to harbor secret feelings for Ethan, the misunderstandings made her feel genuinely uncomfortable.

Ethan took a sip of the orange juice and then muffled, “You’re right. Even if your intentions are pure, others may not see it that way.”

“That’s true.” Shannon echoed.

Ethan got up, “Have you washed my suit? Find it out and bring it back to my bedroom.”

As Shannon just said something about the avoidance, he immediately began to carry it out.

Shannon folded his suit well and handed it to him. Ethan carried the clothes and prepared to go back to his bedroom.

When he walked to the door, he turned around and said to her in a serious way, “In order to avoid any suspicions, you’d better not get in or out of my bedroom and study.”

Shannon shook her head, “No, sir. I definitely won’t do that.”

Ethan nodded. After he kept in a silence for a moment, he asked, “I am still not assured. We should make a rule. If you enter my room, you will get punished.”

“Ah?” Shannon saw the seriousness on his face. She had no choice but said, “Okay, sir. It’s fine to make a rule.”

She defended against him inside. She would not enter his bedroom voluntarily and she would not make an exception, even if the rule was set.

Ethan touched his chin and thought about it. Then he said, “If you enter my bedroom and study without my permission, you will be punished to ride a roller coaster.”

“Roller coaster?” Shannon almost dropped her chin by surprise.

Ethan was really childish, but his smile was full of the cunning of an adult.

“Deal! A roller coaster ride shall be required for every violation of the rule.”

“Well, sir. I fully agree with you.” Although she was afraid of heights, she believed she would never go in or out of his bedroom without his permission.

At night, Wesley and Nancy’s bedroom was suddenly powered off. There was an electronic lock installed in their room. Because of the blackout, Shannon couldn’t open the door, only standing outside with the two babies in the stroller. She had no choice but to look for Ramon’s help to repair it.

Ramon came over with a few staff members and checked it for a long time, but nothing was found out in the end.

“You can’t rest in this bedroom with them tonight. The wires here are broken. I need to scissor off the connected part. This may cause blackout in several rooms.” Ramon said.

Hearing it, Shannon then took Wesley and Nancy to her bedroom.

After dinner, Shannon was about to bathe Wesley and Nancy, but her room suddenly ran out of electricity as well. She went to ask Ramon. The latter told her several bedrooms had been powered off because of the wire connection, and they could only be repaired tomorrow.

Wesley and Nancy didn’t go to sleep because they were not accustomed to the darkness. They held Shannon tight and muttered respectively, seemingly expressing their dissatisfactions with the power failure.

Shannon patted and lulled them as she walked out of the room. There was no power failure in the living room outside. However, they could not stay in it at night. She didn’t care about it, but how could the babies make do with it.

“So far, all the rooms, except Mr. Yates’s bedroom, are powered off. The babies are afraid of darkness! Hurry up and take them there.” Ramon walked over, urged Shannon and helped her carrying Wesley.

“How about Lillian’s room? Does there have an outage?” In order to avoid suspicions, Shannon did not want to enter Ethan’s bedroom.

Moreover, she would break the rule they set before if she did so.

Ramon frowned, “Lillian’s room has only a single bed. It’s too small for you three to sleep. Go to Mr. Yates’s bedroom and lull them to sleep.”

There was no better way. She would make do with herself rather than Wesley and Nancy.

Shannon walked into Ethan’s bedroom accompanied by Ramon.

“Mr. Ramon, could you please not tell Mr. Yates that I have been here when he came back? You can tell him that you comforted the babies until they were asleep.”

Ramon agreed pleasantly.

Fortunately, Ethan had not come back. Shannon was a little relaxed.

Shannon breastfed them and put them into the cradle that Ramon pushed over. This time, they held her shoulders with one hand respectively and put their chins on her shoulders. They refused to lie down and sleep.

Shannon had to put them on Ethan’s double bed, sitting on the edge of the bed and slightly patting them.

She looked at the watch from time to time, only hoping that they would fall asleep quickly so that she could retreat from Ethan’s room as soon as possible.

She knew well that once they fell asleep, they wouldn’t wake up until the next morning.

There were still the mint scents lingering on Ethan’s bed, and it was inexplicably mixed with the flavor of the violets. Feeling like she was possessed by the devil, Shannon remembered again last time she helped him take the medicine...

Her face burned as she thought of it. And she couldn’t help but touch her face.

“Shannon, you shouldn’t concern yourself with such matters. You, ordinary as a dust; while he, remarkable as a king...” her thoughts began to clarify little and little.

She hummed and stayed by the two babies until they fell asleep.

For a long time, they tightly held her two index fingers with their plump little hands. With this, they fell asleep comfortably.

After Shannon took a nap, she could leave finally. She slightly picked them up from the double bed and put them in the cradle.

After everything was settled properly, Shannon was about to leave in a rush.

Suddenly, the door was opened. Unfortunately, it was Ethan!

What a coincidence! The moment she was about to leave, he came back!

Thinking of the rule, she felt hopeless.

“I didn’t expect our Ms. Somers would break the rule so soon.”

Ethan stepped a little bit closer to her and loosened his collar. Then he took off his clothes and hung it on the hanger.

“I have a good reason for it, sir. The other bedrooms are experiencing power outages. Wesley and Nancy are afraid of darkness...”

“It doesn’t make any sense. The fact is that you break my rule.”

Ethan stood a little bit closer to her with his arms crossed, which made Shannon step back consciously.

“So, you have to be punished.” Ethan said in a low-pitched voice with a somewhat hoarse tone.

Shannon was helpless, “But sir, I have to take care of the babies...”

“Yes, and you have to be ready to accept my punishment.” Ethan took a look at his son and daughter asleep and then he smiled slightly.

“It’s late at night.” The roller coaster was in the amusement park and it was closed surely at this time. Moreover, thinking of riding a roller coaster in the late night, she felt scared.

“Just at this time will I have time to punish you.” It didn’t sound like that he was joking. She could tell from his words that he was serious.

Whether his words were real or not, she couldn’t be perfunctory with her boss’s words. Shannon had no choice but to accept his punishment.

However, it was strange tonight that all rooms were powered off, except his room...

This time, Ethan disguised himself on a black Arabic suit and covered his head and face with a black veil, except for his eyes.

According to his plan, he drove ahead in the direction of the amusement park.
