Hunting for His EX-Wife

She wanted to bring Mommy into this house, to let Mommy see Daddy with her own eyes and understand that he wasn’t really a scumbag! If Mommy and Daddy could get back together, then she wouldn’t be a child without a dad anymore! Her brothers and she could live together with Daddy and Mommy, just like other kids did, from then on!

Just as Leah was lost in thought, Elliot spoke up again, interrupting the little girl’s thoughts.

“You can go back to your room now.”

Leah looked up at the man before her and tugged at his clothes pitifully. In a soft voice, she asked, “Can I sleep here tonight?”

Elliot furrowed his brows slightly as he pursed his lips into a line. He clearly didn’t expect the little girl to make such a request.

After waiting for a while without hearing an answer, Leah blinked her eyes and shed some tears. “I’m really scared alone. This house is so big… Boohoo…”

After spending time together with Elliot, Leah felt that she understood him pretty well. This man was someone who responded better to kindness than harshness.

Now that she acted so pitifully like this, he probably wouldn’t refuse.

As expected of Elliot, under the hopeful gaze of the little one before him, he nodded gently.

The moment Elliot nodded his head in agreement, Leah immediately let go of his clothes corner and turned around quickly towards the big bed while exclaiming happily, “Yay! I can sleep here tonight!”

Leah rolled around excitedly on top of the bed while feeling happy because it was her first time sleeping together with Daddy! The more this little one thought about it, the more excited she became until she couldn’t help but roll around on top of the bed even more energetically than before.

Elliot’s gaze softened as he watched the little girl’s actions. Eventually, he sat down on the couch to rest. Even though this little girl wasn’t his daughter, he couldn’t help but admit that she was quite clever.

He liked how clever she seemed to be very much indeed.

That night, the light in the room was a warm, golden hue, and the atmosphere was exceptionally cozy. Nestled under the covers, Leah even found herself wondering if things hadn’t gone awry between Daddy and Mommy back then, would they have been a happy family like this, staying together?

Meanwhile, the man seated on the couch was also lost in thought. If only Rose hadn’t gotten into that accident, would they too have had such an adorable daughter?

The next morning, as the sunlight poured in, the little girl sleeping in the master bedroom slowly began to wake up.

When she woke up, Elliot had already left.

Leah rubbed her sleepy eyes and sent a message to Khalil. “Khalil, I need your help with something. I want you to put Mommy’s resume on the recruitment website and apply for the Harper family’s nanny position.”

On the other end, Khalil frowned when he received the message. He immediately thought of what Sean told him yesterday.

Their scumbag dad might have crucial evidence that could prove their uncle’s innocence. Leah was probably trying to get their mommy in there as soon as possible to get that evidence and clear their uncle’s name.

He pursed his lips at this thought and quickly updated his own mother’s job application information.

Soon after, Leah received a message from Khalil, saying it was done.

Leah couldn’t help but feel excited at the prospect of having both parents soon enough!

At that moment, Elliot’s assistant knocked on the door and entered their bedroom. He looked at Leah who still seemed drowsy but cute nonetheless while also thinking about Mr. Harper’s new task for him.

“Leah, what kind of nanny do you want?” he asked.

The little girl tilted her head in thought before finally stating her requirement seriously, “I want a nanny who can make Tempoyak Patin.”

The assistant’s pupils slightly dilated upon hearing this request – how could anyone possibly make Tempoyak Patin?Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

But when he started screening candidates on recruitment software later on, he found out that there were actually people who could make it! And that woman was Serena Nguyen!

She was exactly whom Mr. Harper had been asking him to investigate all along! She was applying for a nanny position…

The assistant gaped in shock as he read Serena’s profile online – what an incredible coincidence! He immediately called “Serena” without hesitation while ignoring Leah’s hopeful gaze…

In Shadewoods Villa, Rose hesitated briefly before answering an unknown number flashing across her phone screen… It turned out to be Elliot’s assistant calling…

“Hello, is this Miss Nguyen?” Rose was taken aback. This guy was still trying to track her down? And now he’s calling her phone directly… what does he want?

Rose quickly composed herself and asked in a cold tone, “Who are you? How did you get my number?” The assistant didn’t notice the tension in her voice and instead looked gratefully at the little kid standing in front of him. He silently thanked his lucky angel for helping him find Serena so quickly.

If it weren’t for this little angel, he might not have been able to complete his mission of finding Serena anytime soon! After regaining his composure, the assistant cleared his throat and continued speaking. “Here’s the thing: I saw your job application information and I’m officially notifying you that you’ve been hired.”

“I’ll send you address information via text message so that hopefully you can come work here immediately.”
