Chapter 430 Male Nanny
Chapter 430 Male Nanny
Tommy was very well-behaved and quiet in Ted's arms. Madeleine admired Ted so much that she gave him a thumbs up and said, "Ted, you are really good at it! Tommy stopped crying once you came in. You will be the hero of my next novel and the nanny of Tommy. Congrats to you for having another job besides bodyguards."
Ted's lips twitched.
Ophelia tugged at the corner of Madeleine's, beckoning her to stop talking nonsense. That might sound funny to friends, but it had crossed certain boundaries if it was a stranger.
"Why are you here, Ted?" Ophelia asked.
"You'll be my master from now on, and I'll try my best to protect you. I'll follow you to wherever you go." Ted's face remained unchanged, and he answered seriously.
Ophelia's lips twitched when being called "master". That sounded ridiculous no matter how many times she had heard it.
"Just call me Ophelia, Ted. You don't have to call me master. You are not used to calling me that, and I feel it weird." Ophelia said.
Ted patted Tommy's back and replied seriously, "Yes, master."
Madeleine raised her hand and patted behind Ted. Then she said, "Take it easy, handsome. You're about the same age as Ophelia. People would think she's some princess if you keep calling her 'master'. It will be fine if you call her by her name."
Ted nodded.
Madeleine asked Ted to carry Tommy to the bedroom and then put him on the bed.
Seeing the smile on Tommy's face, Madeleine breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My sweet boy, you aren't happy when being held by two beautiful women, but you laughed so happily when being hugged by a handsome man. I hope you are more into women than men when you grew up, or I'll have to teach you a lesson."
Ted's lips curled when hearing that. Madeleine was always so reckless and dared to say anything.
Ophelia found her both funny and annoying. "Madeleine, stop talking nonsense."
Madeleine shrugged and played with Tommy again. Then she asked Ted, "You're Ophelia's bodyguard and will do anything for her, right?"
Ted didn't know what this was about, but he nodded.
Madeleine snapped her fingers and smiled. "I've got a mission for you. This is the list of what Tommy needs. Go get them. Take a look. Is there any problem?"
Ted took the paper and found it full of names of items.
"OK?" Madeleine asked again. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Ted nodded.
Ted took the note and left.
Ophelia glanced at Tommy on the bed. Then she asked Madeleine, "What did you send him to buy? We are not that familiar with him. I don't think it's proper to order him around like this."
Madeleine shrugged and said, "We have a man that can do hard labor; we'll have to do it by ourselves if I didn't send him to."
Ophelia didn't speak.
Ted was very fast. He came back within half an hour and with five bags in his hand.
Ophelia wanted to get one for him, but Ted refused her.
Ted put the bag on the sofa and said, "Here are all the items on the list."
Madeleine opened the bag and checked it carefully. Then she thumbed up to Ted and praised him, "You're the most handsome and efficient bodyguard I have ever seen."
Ted remained expressionless.
Madeleine didn't care. She took all the items back into the living room.
With Ted's help, Ophelia and Madeleine recovered from fluster and became organized.
Tommy really liked Ted. He stopped crying whenever Ted hugged him. He even laughed cheerfully and waved his hands in Ted's arms.
Madeleine looked at them and felt jealous. She said sourly, "Don't honey trap him, handsome. He's still young and couldn't tell beauty from ugliness. Don't push him too hard."
Ted listened in a daze.
Madeleine teased Ted and added, "Are you going to sleep in my apartment tonight? That would be a bit inappropriate." That sounded like an eviction order.
"It's my duty to protect my master."
Madeleine's lips twitched, and she said, "I've never heard of any bodyguards who would sleep over at night."
Ted was silent.
Finally, Madeleine accepted him and cleaned the guest room for him. After that, she said, "You're the first man to sleep in my little apartment. Zach would kill you if he knew you live in the same apartment with us."
Ted walked to the bed. He picked up a pillow and a quilt, then he said, "I'll go take care of Tommy. You can go to bed with Master. I can wake up and take care of Tommy at night."
Madeleine looked at him in surprise and asked, "Are you sure?"
Ted nodded.
Madeleine gave another thumbs up to him and said, "You will make the best nanny for Tommy. I root for you!"
Ted was already used to her.
With the help of Ted, Ophelia and Madeleine could finally catch some sleep. They were worried if Tommy would be fussy at night, but that had never happened, or maybe it had, but they weren't aware of it. They slept very well in the other two rooms. They didn't even wake up and check Tommy. It was rare that they let a busy man take care of Tommy.
Perhaps they thought Ted would never hurt them because he was sent over by Zach in their subconsciousness. That was why they slept so soundly.
In other words, Ophelia trusted Zach very much. She firmly believed that Zach would never hurt her and Tommy.
At 8 o'clock the next day, the two woke up drowsily. They got dressed and washed. Ophelia wanted to check on Tommy, but she ran into Ted in the living room. He walked out of the kitchen in an apron.
Ophelia was taken aback. She wanted to take the breakfast over, only to be avoided by Ted.
Ted mumbled, "Mas... Ophelia, I got you breakfast. Come and eat. Mr. Chambers told me that you haven't fully recovered yet. You should focus on meal regulation."
Ophelia had mixed feelings. She licked her lips and said, "So Zach sent you here?"
Ted nodded honestly.
