Untamed Charming Wife

“What?” Kayla was horrified. “You, you must be joking. I only owe you a million. It’s not like I need to sell myself!”

Upon hearing Kayla’s exclamation, Ethaniel gracefully sat down in a chair. His long, powerful legs crossed elegantly, and his ten slender, white fingers interlaced under his chin. His well-defined jaw was slightly lifted, and his deep purple eyes shone brilliantly.

The stance, the gaze, the aura, was that of a lofty emperor!

Kayla watched him nervously. Damn it, what do you want from me? I don’t have money or my life to give!

Ethaniel, in a good mood, observed Kayla’s guarded demeanor. This little woman, who wore her emotions so openly on her face, was… different.

Slowly, he parted his thin lips, speaking calmly. “I’ll be in Seatowne for a while to discuss investments. During this time, Ollie will be attending school here. To put it simply, I need a nanny.”

“A nanny?” Kayla wasn’t stupid. Ethaniel’s words made it clear that he wanted her to be the nanny!

“Though you’re not very professional, I don’t mind.” Ethaniel’s amused gaze rested on Kayla’s expressive face.

“…”

What kind of robber logic is this? You don’t mind? Shouldn’t you ask for my opinion?

I, Kayla, graduated top of my class at the police academy, currently serving as deputy chief of the Serious Crimes Unit in Seatowne’s North District. I’m a four-time champion in police combat competitions and consistently have the highest case-solving rate. And now you want me to be a nanny for a little kid?

This is a joke!

Just as Kayla was about to protest, Ethaniel, seemingly understanding, said, “Of course, I understand your duties as a police officer, so I won’t ask too much of you.”

“…” Good, retract your foolish idea, and we can discuss a monthly repayment plan.

“So,” his elegant purple eyes glanced over her spirited face, and he smiled lightly, “in the morning, you’ll take Ollie to school. At noon, you’ll bring him lunch. In the evening, you’ll pick him up and help with his homework. Apart from that, you’re free to do your own work.”

Wait a minute!

She would take the kid to school in the morning, then rush back to catch criminals. At noon, she’d deliver lunch and rush back again. In the evening, she’d pick him up, help with homework, and her day would be over.

In other words, her entire day would be packed!

And this would go on for over a decade!

This is practically an unequal treaty, I refuse…

“Of course, you can refuse,” Ethaniel smiled slightly. His already breathtakingly handsome face became even more mesmerizing. However, as an absolutely cunning person, his charming smile hid a cruel reality: “You just need to pay one million pounds. Or, take it to arbitration, where I guarantee the compensation will only increase. Also, I won’t accept installments or monthly payments.”

Damn you!

Ethaniel, damn you!

In her mind, Kayla imagined various ways to torture him repeatedly.

Taking a deep breath, then another, Kayla tried to control herself. She mustn’t hit him.

Given this thirty-one-year-old’s wicked nature, if she really hit him, he would definitely demand more compensation, or worse, come up with more outrageous demands!

After carefully analyzing the situation, Kayla realized she couldn’t come up with a million pounds nor find any other solution. The only option was to…

“I agree!”

In the end, Kayla had no choice but to swallow her pride and accept the humiliating terms.

Yet inwardly, she stubbornly thought, Ethaniel, little brat, just wait. I’ll deal with both of you slowly!

“So, you just agreed to it?”

Behind a shabby stall, a woman with a large floral headscarf looked incredulous. As she tossed tofu into the deep fryer, and said, “Becoming his nanny? Kayla, did you get your head stuck in a door?”

“Yeah!” Kayla slumped over the food stall, feeling utterly dejected.

“Kayla, please be smart for once, okay? You were ordered to protect Ethaniel, and you don’t even know what he looks like? Fine, you grabbed the wrong person in your confusion, but why you crashed into such an expensive car! Oh my gosh, a nanny! The greatest profession of the 21st century!”

The woman used two large chopsticks to flip the golden tofu in the pot, scoffing at Kayla’s low IQ and brute force. “I’ll get you an apron, a rag, and a frying pan later so you can be a proper nanny!”
