Chapter 916
She had a good family background, and her fiance Mr. Lefting was obedient and generous to her. He entrusted Natalie with all the family affairs of the Lefting family. Although unmarried, she was already treated like the woman of the house.
Therefore, Winnie also wanted to learn from Natalie!
Shawn plucked the hair on Nicole’s forehead deeply. “There is a housekeeper in Temperley Hall. I don’t want you to be too tired.”
That was well said.
“It’s okay, Mr. Wood. I’m not afraid of being tired. I just want to share the burden with you!” Winnie said hastily.
Shawn hesitated for a few seconds and then said lightly, “If you have anything to do, you can tell the housekeeper to do it. Of course, you can also call the shots.”
Hearing the word ‘call the shots’, Winnie knew she had got her wish.
From now on, she had the final say on all matters, big and small, in Temperley Hall!
Shawn walked out with Nicole in his arms. “It seems that Nicole still likes Mommy more in her heart, and much more than me…”
Nicole immediately explained, “No! I like my father as much as I like my mother!”
“Then why did you just say that you are not willing to call me when you need my help?”
“I answered, Daddy is busy with work.”
Shawn replied, “Mommy is also tired. After she goes back, she will manage the whole house, with hundreds of servants, so don’t bother her with things. Nicole, tell me directly in the future, don’t let her worry about you, okay?”
Nicole thought for a while, then nodded. “Yeah!”
Shawn stretched out his finger. “Promise me. This is our little secret.”
Nicole smiled innocently.
They pinky promised.
“Nicole, do you remember?” Shawn reminded again, “Who should you go to first when something happens?”
“Yes, really smart.”
What Shawn was on guard against was that Winnie suppressed the matter and did not report it, making Nicole feel wronged!
He wanted to deepen his father-daughter relationship with Nicole, so that Nicole would gradually depend on him more.
If he was not around at night, he would shoulder the responsibility of protecting his daughter!
Winnie followed behind, she did not know what the father and daughter were discussing, and she did not care.
The thought of her going to live in Temperley Hall as the woman of the house made her very excited, so why bother with the conversation between Shawn and Nicole!
After walking out of the ward, Shawn did not see Gale.
His gaze swept the corridor seemingly casually, and he retracted it lightly, not caring, but his heart sank.
In which corner should Galey be… at this moment, secretly feeling sad.
Unfortunately, he could not comfort her, and he could not even show that he cared!
Shawn curled up his fingers deeply against Nicole’s back.
In the corridor, footsteps resounded.
