Chapter 76
“Over the years, Yvette has been very lonely. She doesn’t like to talk or smile. I once thought she had gotten an illness. Ever since you came to our house and taught her how to play the piano, she not only became cheerful but also smiles a lot. Evidently, Yvette likes you very much, and after getting along with you several times, I can tell that you are a very good girl. Josephine, Yvette really wants you to be her mother. Also, I like you very much. Can I pursue you and make you my girlfriend?”
After Christopher finished speaking, he looked at Josephine with eyes full of emotion, waiting for her response nervously.
Josephine did not expect that Christopher would suddenly confess his love to her. It frightened her a little bit.
She answered without thinking. “Mr. Hayes. I’m sorry. You can’t!”
Hearing Josephine’s answer, Christopher was very disappointed, but he still looked at Josephine. “Why?”
“I…” She was about to say that she was married.
However, she swallowed her words again. After all, she and Ragnar were secretly married, so she could not tell anyone.
“Josephine, I said it too abruptly and scared you. Don’t answer me in a hurry. I’ll give you time.”
At that moment, Ragnar, who was discussing business matters with a customer, came in from the outside.
As soon as he came in, he saw Josephine sitting with Christopher.
Suddenly, his face darkened.
He was away from home on business for a few days, and Josephine hooked up with Christopher again!
“Humph, she really deserves a lesson!” he thought.
After a few seconds, his expression returned to normal. “Mr. Zink, please go up first. I’ll be right there.”
“Okay, please do what you need to.” Aaron was very polite.
Ragnar’s face was as unreadable as ever. He walked to their table and said, “Mr. Hayes.”
Hearing the voice, Christopher looked up and saw it was Ragnar. He reached out his hand kindly and said, “Mr. Levine, what a coincidence.”
Ragnar did not say anything more. He glanced at Josephine expressionlessly and reached out to hold her hand.
“Mr. Hayes, I’m sorry. My nanny can’t eat with you anymore. The children are crying badly. She needs to go home and take care of them. I’ll take her away first.”
After saying that, he did not give Christopher a chance to speak and directly pulled Josephine away.
Looking at thay scene, Christopher was so angry that a rare chilly expression appeared on his gentle face.
Seeing Josephine being taken away, Yvette was very sad. She asked, “Daddy, Ms. Yeager was taken away by Mr. Levine. What should we do?”
“Yvette, Ms. Yeager will be fine. We’ll call her later.”
Christopher had always known that Josephine was working as a nanny in the Levine family, but he never expected Ragnar to
treat her like that.
“Is it really okay? I think Mr. Levine is so fierce,” Yvette said again.

Christopher said, “Believe me, it will be fine.”
At that time, he had mixed feelings.
When Ragnar returned to the Levine mansion, he directly threw Josephine on the bed and looked at her condescendingly. “You still had a meal with Christopher. It seems that you didn’t listen to me, right? Quit your job as a piano tutor right away”
“Why?” Josephine stood up and looked at him.
You are my legal wife. Do you still need to be a tutor?” said Ragnar.
Listening to what he said, Josephine smiled. “Ragnar, don’t forget how I got here and became your legal wife.”
She paused before saying, “Besides, I don’t feel ashamed to be a tutor. Furthermore, Christopher helped me. What’s wrong with me buying him a meal?”
“What do you need help with? Why didn’t you talk to me?” Ragnar’s expression was still gloomy.
“A few days ago, I was looking at houses. Mr. Hayes happened to find out about it and helped me.” Looking at Ragnar’s angry face, Josephine had to tell the truth.
She did not want to say it, but at that juncture, there was no way to keep it a secret.
Otherwise, it would be no good for either of them if they kept fighting.
After all, she was working in the Levine mansion, so it was inevitable that she would see him frequently in the future.
“What? Why didn’t you tell me about such an important thing?”
Hearing Josephine say that she wanted to buy a house and had asked for Christopher’s help, he got angrier.
Seeing that he was so angry. Josephine did not dare to provoke him again. She quickly subdued him and said, “Ragnar, although we are a legal couple, it’s a contract marriage after all.”
She continued, “At that time, you were very busy, so I didn’t ask you for help. Mr. Hayes happened to know about it, so I asked him to help me.”
She paused before saying, “I didn’t think too much about it…” Next, Josephine told the whole story.
It was not until that very instant when Christopher confessed his feelings to her that Josephine realized why Christopher would help her.
It seemed that she had to keep a distance from Christopher in the future.
Even if she and Ragnar did not have an agreement, she knew that her status was too different from that of Christopher’s.
Most importantly, she never wanted to be with him.
After hearing her explanation, Ragnar’s expression softened a little.
“Even if you say so, you thanked him and cooked a meal for him last time. Why did you have a meal with him today?” Ragnar asked again.
He was still angry.
He still remembered that when he entered the restaurant, he saw the deep affection in Christopher’s eyes, which made him very unhappy.
“How can my wife be coveted by another man?” thought Ragnar.
Besides, Casper said that Christopher wanted to marry Josephine, and it made Ragnar irritable again.

Josephine said, “It’s because the formalities were handled today, and he helped me with the hygiene issues…”
Speaking of that, Josephine felt that Ragnar’s face darkened significantly again.
That’s why I invited him for a meal. Besides, you told me previously to thank him by inviting him to a meal outside.”
Ragnar was speechless.
Was she using what he said to rebut him?
“Good! Very Good!” he thought.
He thought that since it had happened, harping on it would only make the relationship between the two stiffer.
Ragnar said. “Quit your job as a piano teacher right away.”
“I can’t promise you that.” Josephine refused.
“You can’t bear to leave Christopher?” His words were cold and without a hint of warmth.
“No!”
Josephine replied simply, “You should know that I need this job.”
She continued, “I told you that I wouldn’t do anything disloyal to you during the marriage.” Josephine looked up at Ragnar and went on to say, “I hope you don’t interfere with my work.”
Their faces were close to each other. Josephine felt that the breath coming out of Ragnar’s nose was hitting her face, which made her itchy and uncomfortable.
“Ragnar, it’s late. I should go back to bed, she said after pushing him gently.
“It’s been a long time. You should stop making a fuss. Come back to sleep with me tonight, okay?”
Hearing that she was going back to the guest room, Ragnar frowned and looked unhappy.
“Since Dorothy and Grandma Diana are not here anymore, we naturally don’t need to sleep in a room together.”
Josephine refused.
