Luca couldn't bear the sweet farewell way of the two.
"Daryl, you and Zack are an old married couple. Why are you still so sweet?"
"Go to hell, who is old?"
Daryl returned to him and hit him with her elbow impatiently, "I'm young, okay?"
"Yes, I was wrong."
Luca said sincerely, "You are young."
"You brat, you become a little arrogant after coming back from outside!"
Daryl teased him with a smile, "Hey, to be honest, did you go out on a date with your favorite girl?"
"God can prove it. I didn't."
Luca said seriously, "Look at me. I was in such a mess when I came back! How could I go on a date? Who wants to date a bumpkin? "
"That's not necessarily. If Zack is also a bumpkin, I'm still willing to date him!"
" " 'Why do you have to show off your affection?'
"Mrs. Ji."
When the two were chatting, Baylee came over soon.
"Baylee."
Daryl quickly turned her attention to her and did not notice the subtle change on Luca's face behind her.
"How are you feeling this morning?"
Baylee asked her some usual questions as usual, and Daryl answered her.
When she finished, Baylee suddenly said, "Mrs. Ji, I may not be able to stay long."
"Why?" Daryl asked.
"You know my daughter is weak and sick."
Baylee sighed, "Last time when I went back, she was in a bad condition. Now there is no one else in my house, and it's not safe to hire a strange nanny. So I think..."
"It doesn't matter. I can understand."
Daryl said, "When do you want to leave?"
"Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Baylee said, 'Tm still worried about her. She didn't sleep well last night."
"All right."
Although Daryl felt sorry that she was leaving so soon, she had to understand her feelings as a mother.
"Thank you, Mrs. Ji."
Baylee held her hand and smiled, "You are really the most considerate and gentle employer I have ever seen."
Daryl smiled shyly, "You're welcome."
Soon, Baylee went downstairs.
Looking at the direction she left, Daryl couldn't help but sigh that it was really not easy to be a mother.
"Daryl, do you think Baylee is a nice person?"
Asked Luca suddenly.
"What?"
Daryl turned to him and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
"Nothing. I'm just curious. You seem to have a good conversation with her."
"Well, maybe it's because we are both mothers."
Daryl smiled, "I didn't take care of Bennie much. Now that Star is going to be born, maybe I can understand the feeling of bringing up a child. Maybe I will be the same as Baylee. Even if I work outside, sometimes I have to go back to see the child."
Hearing this, Luca fell silent.
Daryl didn't notice the change of his mood. She was just thinking about the time when Star was born. He must be little, cute and very light to be held.
In the evening, Zack came back from work.
