My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: The Young Master Is Unhappy Too

With that, she tried to lift Aidan Grant down, but he stomped his feet angrily.

"No! I’m in the middle of giving the new teacher her interview test! It’s fine! I’m not an idiot. I know it’s dangerous to fall off a chair. I can stand here just fine by myself, okay?"

The nanny was speechless.

Seeing the nanny’s concern, Cecelia Archer quickly said,

"He’s just curious about cooking. I only wanted to let him watch me up close. It’s just noodles; I won’t let him get hurt. If you’re still worried, you can help by standing next to him and watching."

With a dark expression, the nanny stood beside the chair, protectively hovering over Aidan Grant.

Cecelia Archer chopped a tomato, washed a handful of greens, and let Aidan Grant help crack two eggs. Then, she started cooking the noodles for him.

It was the first time Aidan Grant had ever cracked an egg. He found it fascinating and watched Cecelia Archer’s every move, absolutely delighted.

Once the noodles were ready and drizzled with sesame oil, he took a bite and decided it was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten.

After quickly and contentedly finishing a large bowl of noodles, Aidan Grant grabbed Cecelia Archer’s hand.

"Weren’t we going to the amusement park? Let’s go!"

Before Cecelia Archer could say a word, the nanny rushed over again.

"Go where? You’re going out with her? That’s ridiculous! Young Master, you don’t even know her! What if she’s a bad person?"

The nanny was furious.

Aidan Grant’s mother had died in a car accident when she was nine months pregnant with him. The nanny had raised the boy single-handedly since birth.

For her service in raising the boy, Mr. Grant always treated her with great respect.

Mr. Grant was always busy with work and rarely came home. The boy had a very peculiar temper, and almost no one besides her could calm him down.

’But today... Isn’t this woman trying to steal my credit?’

The nanny stormed into a room to grab her phone.

"Sir, the tutor Ms. Sawyer recommended came over this morning."

"And? Does Annie like her?"

She sighed meaningfully. "These young teachers nowadays... it’s hard to say, but they certainly have their ways. I don’t know what she did to trick Annie. Not only does Annie like her, he’s even secretly calling her ’Mama.’ Now he’s kicking up a fuss, demanding to go to the amusement park with her..."

After a few seconds of silence, Shane Grant on the other end of the line said, "Handle it as you see fit."

The nanny returned to the dining room and, with an air of immense authority, said to Cecelia Archer,

"I’m sorry, but the master just called. He said he has already personally found a tutor for the young master. Thank you for your time, but you may leave now."

"What?" Aidan Grant flared up.

Cecelia Archer, however, was quite satisfied with this outcome. She crouched down in front of Aidan Grant and took his small hand again.

"It’s all right. It’s normal to not get a job offer. There are plenty of people in the world who are more qualified to teach you than I am. Cheer up, Annie. It’s not like we’ll never see each other again. I’ll be picking up Candy Archer every day. Next time we meet, I’ll have a surprise for you."

"A surprise? You’re going to give me a gift?"

"It wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you," Cecelia Archer said, lightly tapping his nose. "Let’s keep it a mystery for now. You’ll find out tomorrow. I’m going to go now. Goodbye."

In just this short time together, Annie had become captivated by the feeling of talking with her. He held tightly to Cecelia Archer’s hand, refusing to let go.

"But I don’t want you to leave. I want you to talk with me forever. Miss, please agree to be my teacher, then we can talk every day, okay?"

"If you’re worried you won’t have time to take care of Candy Archer, you can bring her with you! Our house is huge! There are so many rooms, it’s more than enough for both of you to live here!"
