Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1314 Gotten Too Comfortable

It was morning, and the servants had prepared breakfast.

Meanwhile, Colton perused the finance section of the newspaper while calmly savoring his meal.

Across the table, Evelyn attended to the baby, and her gaze intermittently drifted toward the man. However, the baby seemed to sense his mother's divided attention, prompting him to burst into tears. A baby's cry has an uncanny ability to overshadow expectations, instantly filling the dining room with its resounding wails.

The man shot her a stern look with a silent warning in his eyes. Then, she averted her gaze as she hurriedly bent down to console the child. Her inexperience with babies became evident as she struggled to calm him.

Responding to the cries, the nanny swiftly entered the dining room. Expertly, she scooped up the baby and employed her soothing techniques, gradually quelling the cries until the baby drifted into slumber.


Afterward, Evelyn sighed in relief and glanced at the nanny, who discreetly left with the baby.

In the meantime, the nanny, having served in this role for a while, felt compassion for the baby. Neither of his parents genuinely cherished him since he was a pawn, exploited by his mother to pursue his father's affection. As the nanny departed, she mused on her thoughts, drawing an amusing parallel to historical dramas where consorts maneuvered for favor with their children.

Chuckling to herself, she dismissed her fanciful reflections. I've been watching too many dramas lately.

On the other hand, Evelyn observed the nanny's exit, her attention shifting between the baby's departure and Colton's demeanor. Hoping to avoid suspicion, she silently wished the man remained oblivious to the situation.

Although he could sense her gaze, he didn't look at her. Despite some sympathy for the child, he couldn't bring himself to shower affection on him. She had manipulated the child to commit devious acts and be endeavoring to make him assume the role of the child's biological father—something he couldn't forgive. Therefore, he hoped to identify the child's birth father soon, freeing him from his mother's manipulative grasp.

"Double the nanny's salary. She's doing a good job taking care of the baby. My child should be properly taken care of."

At this moment, she anxiously awaited his response. However, his words weren't what she anticipated, leaving her unsure whether to be relieved or upset. What does he mean by that? Is he saying that I'm not taking good care of the baby?
