Smiling at her words, Stanley Batton continued adding salad sauce into the glass bowl. “Men should treat their women right.”
The nanny had an envious look in her eyes. “There are hardly any forward-thinking men like you these days.”

Upon returning to the nursery, the nanny immediately approached the others, sighing helplessly.
“Mr. Batton is making breakfast for Ms. Quest again. It’s almost impossible to find a good man like him these days.”
When the other nannies heard what she said, they couldn’t resist discussing it, too—
“Exactly. We’ve been here for such a long time, and I have never seen Mr. Batton raise his voice against her.”
