Chapter 305 Take Care of Them
Leah carried Carlotta down the stairs while Lucy followed behind with the luggage.
In the living room, Shawn stood there like a sculpture. His expression was gloomy. It seemed that he could not stop Leah from leaving.
Shawn asked, "Do you really want to leave?"
He averted his gaze. He was afraid that he would not be able to suppress his emotions and would force Leah to stay.
Leah's eyes were firm. "Yes."
Shawn felt sad, and his eyes fell on Lucy. "Follow and take care of them."
Lucy quickly nodded. "Yes, Mr. Shawn."
Shawn sent Leah and Carlotta out of the villa and ordered the chauffeur to take them to their new living place. He did not turn back until the car disappeared from his sight.
In the car, Leah reported the community location to the chauffeur. Now that she had decided to leave Shawn, she should do it thoroughly.
Leah bought Wisteria Court with her design fees for the past two years. It was a three-bedroom suite. Although the space was small, it was enough for her, Carlotta, and Lucy.
When the chauffeur stopped the car, he saw that Leah was holding Carlotta and the luggage.
He took the initiative to take over Leah's luggage. "Ms. White, let me help you."
"Thank you."
The chauffeur helped Leah to press the elevator button.
"Ms. White, isn't it normal for a young couple always quarrel? My wife and I also quarrel every day."
The chauffeur came to the Ford family not long ago and thought Leah was Shawn's wife.
It was usual to say poor couples were sad, but the Ford family was wealthy. He thought there was nothing to quarrel about between Leah and Shawn.
Leah did not bother to explain and nodded perfunctorily. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Ding! When the elevator door opened, Leah took the luggage from the chauffeur, thanked him, and left.
The next day, when Carlotta woke up, Leah and Lucy had cleaned up the suite.
Carlotta was lying on the bed. Looking at the unfamiliar environment, she cried out loudly.
Leah heard the crying when she was outside the room. She hurriedly took off the gloves and ran to the room. "What's wrong?"
Leah asked while carrying Carlotta from the bed.
Carlotta pursed her mouth and looked at Leah aggrievedly. "Mommy, where are we?"
Leah regretted she forgot to tell Carlotta when she left the Ford family's villa yesterday. Children were easily stressed when they were suddenly in an unfamiliar environment.
"This will be our new home from now on. You don't like it?"
Carlotta asked childishly, "What about Daddy?"
Leah explained softly, "Daddy has his home. He won't be with us. Only you and I will be together in the future."
Since Shawn was not Carlotta's father, Carlotta should change what she called him as soon as possible. Carlotta could no longer be dependent on him.
Carlotta did not cry. She flickered her big eyes and looked at Leah in a puzzle. "Mommy, did you argue with Daddy?"
Leah shook her head helplessly. "No." She continued, "You can't call him Daddy anymore."
There were tears in Carlotta's eyes. She asked in confusion, "Why?"
Leah frowned. The matter between her and Shawn was too complicated for Carlotta. Leah did not know how to explain it.
No matter how Leah explained it, Carlotta probably would not understand it.
Carlotta looked at Leah curiously. "Mommy? You don't want Daddy anymore? Because Daddy always works?"
"Of course not. You will understand when you grow up."
Carlotta was still puzzled. "What if I miss Daddy?"
Leah hugged Carlotta and left the room. "If you miss him, I can take you to him."
Lucy had just finished cooking, and the smell of the food wafted through the living room. Leah put Carlotta on the chair.
"Lucy, although you follow me, your salary is still the same. I'll treat you well."
Lucy had been with Leah for two years, and Leah had regarded Lucy as family.
"Ms. White, it doesn't matter for the salary, as long as I can follow you."
Lucy was grateful to Leah for her respect and care.
Leah took out a card and handed it to Lucy. "This is the living expenses for this month. The money on the card isn't much. It may not be comparable with the Ford family."
The Ford family's living expenses were in the millions every month, and Shawn would ask Mr. Carling
to distribute the remained money to the servants in the villa.
Lucy kept the card carefully and smiled. "There are ways to use less money."
While Leah was coaxing Carlotta to sleep, Lucy left Wisteria Court on the pretext of buying ingredients.
In the community downstairs, Tom blocked Lucy's way. "Mr. Shawn has been waiting for you for a long time."
Lucy blushed and explained, "Ms. White has just arrived at her new home. There are too many things to do. I need to help her."
Last night, Lucy received a call from Tom. He told her to find time to go to the Ford family's villa. Shawn had something to ask her.
Tom kept a cold expression and did not answer. He signaled the chauffeur to drive.
In the Ford family's villa, Lucy felt fidgeted and rubbed her hands nervously. It was the first time she had had close contact with Shawn.
Lucy got up from the sofa. "Mr. Shawn, I'd better stand."
When Lucy entered the Ford family's villa, Shawn asked her to sit down and poured her a cup of tea.
Shawn had never treated her like this in the Ford family.
Shawn crossed his legs and drank the red wine in his glass. "It's okay. Sit down."
Lucy could read Shawn's expression. She did not sit but stood aside respectfully. "Mr. Shawn, just tell me what I should do."
Mr. Shawn finds me probably because of Ms. White.
Shawn put the glass aside and showed a satisfied look. "It's your honor that Leah took you away. Since you've already followed them, you're responsible for taking care of them."
"Yes, Mr. Shawn." Lucy naturally understood.
Shawn suddenly changed his manner, and his eyes became sharper. "But it doesn't mean you aren't a member of the Ford family anymore. No matter what Leah does in the future, you have to report to me."
Lucy's eyes widened in surprise. Does Mr. Shawn want me to keep an eye on Ms. White?
She did not have a chance to refuse as she received Shawn's cold gaze again.
Tom reminded, "Don't forget who is your real master."
Lucy bit her lips. She seemed hard to accept Shawn's order.
Leah treated her well. If she obeyed Shawn's order, Leah would likely be disappointed.
Seeing Lucy unmoved, Shawn continued, "Leah and I are only quarreling. She listened to others and left me temporarily. She will return to the Ford family in the future."
