Chapter 374 Employing a Nanny
"Amy, you're back. You finally come back." Hannah, who was pregnant, stood a few feet away. She didn't want to interrupt when the couple were making out, even though she was very excited to see Amy again.
"Hannah? When did you come back? Aren't you in the middle of fetus protection? How is the baby?" Amy noticed the gaze from Hannah who was in a thick coat and protected by Kevin.
"Don't worry. I'm good. You suffered a lot but I couldn't do anything for you." Hannah suddenly burst into tears and gave Amy a warm hug.
"I'm so glad to see you're here. Thank you." Amy cried with her, too. She didn't fear anything even in the prison and didn't cry for getting wronged. But now her families came to pick her up and she couldn't help crying because of happiness.
Five cars, waiting at a short distance, were all here to take her home. After the hug with Hannah, their mothers came to hug her.
"God bless you, my sweetie." Cathy and Eliana, with noses twitching, were fighting back tears.
"OK, now let's go home." Amy shouted. Everybody laughed, filled with emotion. They found it relieved that a malicious woman was sent into prison. The life in the future would be easier.
Before Amy entered the door, she was required to cross the fire plate to ward off bad luck. Then she took a bath in wormwood leaves water and wore pink pajamas.
She hadn't worn so bright clothes for a long time. From now on, she must dress up, after all, she was still a young lady.
"Sweetie, come and drink some tea. It's a newly-mixed herbal tea, good for calming you down." Cathy brought the tea up to Amy.
"Thanks, Mom." After drinking a cup of warm tea, Amy felt much warmer.
"Amy, can I talk to you for a moment?" Cathy sat down. She wanted to ask how the life in the prison was like.
"Of course, mom." Amy sat with Cathy. They began to talk about her life in the prison.
Amy told her nothing but the good news. She told her she had a full life every day and was treated well there.
Cathy doubted it in mind because she knew Amy was comforting her.
She knew that although Richard had pulled some strings to take care of Amy, Hadrian must have found some contacts to give her a hard time there.
"Mom, It's really not bad there. Nobody dared to bully me. And I learnt a lot there." She had been put in jail for over a month and learnt much there.
"You must be tired. Let's go to sleep." Cathy thought it was about time that Richard finished his shower, so she stopped talking with Amy in order to leave the couple alone. "Darling, come up." Richard's voice came at the moment. He was beckoning her upstairs.
Amy went upstairs with a cup of tea, then Richard took her hands to enter their bedroom.
"Your hands are so cold. It's colder outside the room. You should wear more."
Richard rubbed and breathed into her hands to warm them.
Actually, he was too worried about her. It was just a little colder outside. Her hands were always cold.
"I'm not as weak as you think. Mom wears as much clothes as I do." She pouted her lips. Richard had always had a soft spot for it, so he kissed her on the lips.
It was far from enough after all the days they had been apart. He put her hands on his chest and held her head with both hands, and kissed her deeply.
An affectionate kiss expressed his deep love for her. His love had never changed although they were together for so many years.
"I love you, darling." Richard put her down softly.
After hours of enthusiastic sex, Richard held her in his arms and asked, "Why don't we have another baby, darling?"
Overwhelmed by sleepiness, she didn't take to heart what Richard said at all. She nodded as an answer and fell asleep in the comfortable and safe embrace.
"Mrs. Carter, the nanny for Allen is going to quit. We need to find a new one for him. I have chosen three. Would you please choose your favorite one from them?" Robin walked up to report.
"Quit? Why? I thought she had been happy about the work." Amy was satisfied with the nanny, who came with her from the Newell family and took good care of Allen for a long time. "She said she must come back to handle something in her family, and she was not sure if she would come back, so she had to quit." Robin couldn't do anything but let her go.
"Fine. Let her go first and give her more salary. If she wants to come back after her family affairs are addressed, I'll still take her." Amy said.
"You are so nice, Mrs. Carter. I promise I'll come back." The nanny was touched when she heard Amy's words after she had packed up. But she had to go.
"Alright, I'll keep the position for you. Take care." Amy said to the nanny.
The nanny expressed her great thanks and left with the money. Soon, the nannies Robin had selected came. Three of them were young, one was in her forties, one thirties, and one twenties. Amy asked them some questions and asked Allen to choose his favorite one.
Allen looked at them but had no idea. He pointed at the woman in her thirties casually.
"Why do you like her?" Amy asked him.
"Because I think she is like you, Mommy." he answered. After taking a careful look at the woman, who had always been submissive and meek, Robin and Amy thought Allen was right. "Keep her then, and let the others go back." Amy was ready to go after the nanny had been picked.
