President's Substitute Wife

He refused me, but I was more relieved.

The next morning, Philip still came very early.

But I found that he didn’t change.

He used to change a T-shirt every time he came, but this time he was wearing the same one as yesterday.

And he had black circles.

It was all my fault. I came back too late.

I was a little sorry. I said, “go upstairs.”

went downstairs happily.

Seeing Lester so happy, I really appreciated Chloe’s sending me such a nice male nanny as Philip.

I thought he could stay at my house when I came back late.

But at night, when Philip was leaving, Lester held Philip’s thigh and wouldn’t let him go. He said to me, “Mom, dad said we shouldn’t waste time.”
