Tommy was very well-behaved and quiet in Ted's arms. Madeleine admired Ted so much that she gave him a thumbs up and said, "Ted, you are really good at it! Tommy stopped crying once you came in. You will be the hero of my next novel and the nanny of Tommy. Congrats to you for having another job besides bodyguards."

Ted's lips twitched.

Ophelia tugged at the corner of Madeleine's, beckoning her to stop talking nonsense. That might sound funny to friends, but it had crossed certain boundaries if it was a stranger.

"Why are you here, Ted?" Ophelia asked.

"You'll be my master from now on, and I'll try my best to protect you. I'll follow you to wherever you go." Ted's face remained unchanged, and he answered seriously.

Ophelia's lips twitched when being called "master". That sounded ridiculous no matter how many times she had heard it.

"Just call me Ophelia, Ted. You don't have to call me master. You are not used to calling me that, and I feel it weird." Ophelia said.

Ted patted Tommy's back and replied seriously, "Yes, master."

Madeleine raised her hand and patted behind Ted. Then she said, "Take it easy, handsome. You're about the same age as Ophelia. People would think she's some princess if you keep calling her 'master'. It will be fine if you call her by her name."

Ted nodded.

Madeleine asked Ted to carry Tommy to the bedroom and then put him on the bed.

Seeing the smile on Tommy's face, Madeleine breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My sweet boy, you aren't happy when being held by two beautiful women, but you laughed so happily when being hugged by a handsome man. I hope you are more into women than men when you grew up, or I'll have to teach you a lesson."

Ted's lips curled when hearing that. Madeleine was always so reckless and dared to say anything.

Ophelia found her both funny and annoying. "Madeleine, stop talking nonsense."
