Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 626

Alyssa walked to Jared’s bedroom, and the door was wide open.

A few young nannies were peeping inside.

Alyssa strolled over and asked, “What are you guys up to?”

One of the nannies replied, “That’s Mr. Whitfield’s kid right there. He’s a beautiful kid, I’ve never seen a kid that handsome.”

Others chimed in with agreement.

However, another nanny voiced her confusion, “But he sleeps so deeply. The butler just went in to bring him some fruit and he didn’t wake up.”

“He’s been snoozing ever since he got back. Is he sick or something?”

Alyssa retorted, “Quit your yapping here and get back to your work.”

The nannies dispersed from the doorway, only then did Alyssa walk in.

There was indeed a child lying on the bed.
