Chapter 38

In fact, even now, Annie still doesn't understand what she really wants.

Perhaps she really wanted to cause trouble for Kim Hyuntae through mischief, to achieve a psychological balance for herself.

Or maybe she still doesn't understand her true inner thoughts, and just wants to get closer to Kim Hyuntae when she starts showing pregnancy symptoms after becoming pregnant?

In any case, these factors are indeed quite complicated.

But regardless, Annie has now successfully made contact with Kim Hyuntae, and even smoothly became a nanny, naturally moving into the house she bought and rented to Kim Hyuntae.

So, Annie's mood was quite good on the way, and she even played happily with Coco. The two women, big and small, had a great time in the back seat of the car, and it was clear that Coco really enjoyed having someone to play with her.

It's just that it's unknown whether a young lady accustomed to a life of luxury, where everything is done for her, will really get used to such a life... It's obvious that there will be some difficulties.

But Annie, still in the excitement of the moment, hasn't noticed this yet.

Coco has a very outgoing personality and is very brave, not afraid of strangers at all. This allows her to quickly bond with Annie, and the little girl's intelligence far exceeds that of children her age. Although her age limits her, making her seem ordinary and not particularly outstanding, she can still interact well with Annie and give her feedback.

This makes Annie like Coco more and more.

Just as the two were playing and tickling each other happily, Kim Hyuntae had already driven home.

"Get out of the car, we're home." Kim Hyuntae parked the car in the driveway of his house in the community, then turned to call out to Annie before getting out of the car first.

"Still, my own car is more comfortable." Although the Audi is also good, for Annie, who is used to the spacious and comfortable space of her own extended Rolls-Royce, the Audi feels cramped and uncomfortable. So, Annie silently complained a bit.

While silently complaining, Annie got out of the car with Coco in her arms. Standing in front of the house she bought, Annie looked at the boy's back who was calling her, her gaze deep and distant.

"What am I doing? Why did I impulsively come from New York to Los Angeles and volunteer to be a nanny? What was I thinking? Am I confused?!"

To be honest, when Annie stood in front of the house, she started to regret it.

At this moment, Annie no longer had the initial excitement and the pleasant mood on the way. She no longer fantasized about getting revenge or anything like that.

Instead, she felt anxious and reflective.

Indeed, the price of being impulsive and not considering the consequences is what Annie now has to face.

But now that things have come to this, Annie has no way to back out. It's not like she can now back out and tell Kim Hyuntae that she won't do it.

Taking a deep breath, Annie calmed herself down, shook off the regret and unease in her mind, and followed Kim Hyuntae with a smile.

I am Annie!

I am the smart Annie!

This little situation, what does it matter to me?

I've experienced business situations much worse than this, this little thing won't be a problem for me!

With this self-hypnosis, Annie followed Kim Hyuntae into the house.

Walking into the room, Annie's heart started beating rapidly, and she couldn't control it.

Oh!

Am I really going to live under the same roof with a 'stranger' boy from now on?

Unconsciously, Annie started to imagine all sorts of bizarre and ambiguous scenes that might appear in her future life.

To be honest, the reason Annie has such bizarre fantasies is due to the influence of the dreams she has had every night for the past three months after the artificial insemination.

After all, no matter how normal a woman is, if she has such dreams for three months, she probably won't be much better off than Annie.

"Are you feeling unwell?" After putting down the women's items he bought from the supermarket, Kim Hyuntae turned around and saw Annie standing at the door, looking abnormally flushed and dazed.

Kim Hyuntae didn't think much about it, just assuming that Annie might not be feeling well, as she said she was three months pregnant.

And with his experience in this area, Kim Hyuntae naturally thought that it was normal for Annie to have pregnancy symptoms.

"Cough, cough!"

Annie coughed to cover up her previous dazed expression, and under Kim Hyuntae's concerned gaze, she blushed and lowered her head.

Annie is 1.78 meters tall, not as tall as models, but still stands out among girls.

Fortunately, after Kim Hyuntae's transformation, he is 1.80 meters tall at the age of 16, so he is not much shorter than Annie.

Of course, this is assuming Annie isn't wearing high heels.

But at this moment, Annie hunched her shoulders, looking like a small ostrich, making her appear much shorter than Kim Hyuntae. So, when she lowered her head, Kim Hyuntae couldn't see her unease.

"No, no, I'm not feeling unwell."

"You have to be careful, after all, you're three months pregnant. You can't be careless, or you might have a miscarriage." As someone who has been married, Kim Hyuntae is very clear about this, so he reminded Annie earnestly.

Hmph!

As if he's so experienced!

Well, he is, his daughter is already one year old.

Hearing Kim Hyuntae's well-intentioned reminder, Annie not only didn't feel grateful, but instead felt a strong sense of jealousy.

And thinking about the fact that Kim Hyuntae has a daughter made Annie's jealousy even stronger.

But Annie also knew that she had no right to do anything to Kim Hyuntae, after all, they were still 'strangers', right?

Moreover, Kim Hyuntae reminding her to be careful was for her own good.

But why did she have the illusion that it was her husband reminding his wife to be careful?

Annie, are you stupid?

Well, the rich and beautiful girl fell into endless fantasies again.

After a while, Annie finally came back to reality and responded to Kim Hyuntae, "Is that so? I really don't know, after all, I don't have this kind of experience. I guess I really need to pay attention to this in the future."

This woman is a bit absent-minded and likes to daydream from time to time.

Annie's previous state of daydreaming made Kim Hyuntae feel both helpless and amused.

"There's nothing to it. After all, I'm a father, so I have more experience in this area. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me."

Pfft!

Annie secretly despised him, thinking, "Do I need to ask you?"

But after thinking about it, Annie realized that Kim Hyuntae was right; he did have more experience, after all, he is a father.

Oh!

Experienced!

Thinking about this, Annie felt a sense of jealousy, which made her very uncomfortable.

Kim Hyuntae's daughter, Coco, was very well-behaved, quietly being held in Annie's arms while curiously looking at Annie's still-flat belly, as if studying something.

Ever since Annie said she had a baby in her belly, Coco has been like this, clearly very curious about how a baby can be in the belly and very interested.

"From today on, the child's matters will be handed over to you. During this period, I will observe you to see if you are suitable for the job of a nanny." Kim Hyuntae didn't forget to remind Annie of this.

"You don't need to do housework. Your main responsibility is to take care of the child and play with her. As for teaching her anything, that's not necessary. She's too young, just let her play."

Kim Hyuntae led Annie upstairs while explaining what she would need to do in the future.

There wasn't much housework for Annie to do, as there wasn't much to do in Kim Hyuntae's house, and even if there was, he had hired part-time workers to handle it, so he didn't need Annie.

And Annie was happy not to have to do housework, as she didn't know how to do it.

At home, the servants did everything, and Annie, as a young lady, had never done such things.

So, hearing Kim Hyuntae say this, Annie felt a bit relieved, happy that she didn't have to do housework.

As for taking care of the child and playing with Coco, she didn't think it would be a problem, and even felt that she was quite good at it. Playing, what's so difficult about that?

Even taking care of a child is very easy and simple, a piece of cake.

At this moment, Annie didn't realize how terrifying it could be to be with a child sometimes.

"By the way, can you cook?"

Just as they reached the second floor, Kim Hyuntae suddenly turned around and asked.

Uh!

Cooking?

To be honest, Annie was really stumped by this question.

Just like she didn't know how to do housework, Annie, as a young lady, didn't know how to cook.

It's simple, there was a chef at home, and when she wanted to eat, she just had to tell the butler, Nord, what she wanted, and the chef would prepare it, and Nord would bring it to her.

Even when she wasn't at home, she could choose from high-end restaurants.

So, Annie didn't know how to cook.

Moreover, it's not strange for a young lady like Annie not to know how to do housework or cook.

"Um... I can manage."

After a moment of internal struggle, Annie blushed and lied.

Manage?

Looking at the uneasy woman behind him, Kim Hyuntae immediately understood everything and didn't have much hope.

Fortunately, Kim Hyuntae didn't insist that Annie know how to cook. Since he was rich, he could just leave her a delivery card for a Chinese restaurant, and she could order takeout when she wanted to eat. Kim Hyuntae was already familiar with the restaurant and could even request special orders.

So, this problem was easily solved, and it didn't matter that Annie couldn't cook.

"Here, this is your room." Kim Hyuntae pointed to one of the rooms on the second floor and introduced his own room to Annie, "The child will sleep in my room at night, where I have a crib. You just need to take care of her during the day. Occasionally, when I have work to do, I will need you to take care of the little one at night."

At the same time, he explained to Annie some of the tasks she would need to do in the future to take care of his daughter.

Annie listened attentively to everything Kim Hyuntae said and looked at the curious Coco in her arms. She felt that she could handle these tasks.

After all, she really liked Coco and felt that she could use this time to learn how to take care of a child and gain some experience.

So that when her own baby was born, she wouldn't be completely clueless.

Indeed, with Annie's wealth and status, even after the baby was born, she wouldn't be very busy, and there would be many servants to take care of the baby, and even professionals could be hired to take care of the child. But as a mother, Annie felt that it would be better to take care of the baby herself, so she needed some experience in this area.

"No problem."

Annie readily agreed.

Seeing Annie agree so readily, Kim Hyuntae just smiled and didn't say anything more, but in his heart, he didn't think Annie would last long.

After all, as someone who has been through it, he knew very well that when a child's mischievousness comes out, it can really be a challenge.

"If you need anything, just say so. I'll provide it for you, don't be shy, I won't count it as part of your salary."

Who cares!

Annie had a fleeting thought of disdain.

But she still put on a grateful face and said a bunch of thank-you words to Kim Hyuntae.

Ding dong!

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Kim Hyuntae apologized and told Annie to make herself comfortable in the room, then turned and went down the stairs.

After Kim Hyuntae left, Annie finally relaxed, took a deep breath, and sat on the bed with Coco in her arms.

"Hehe, little one, we're going to live together from now on. Are you happy and excited?"

Annie smiled and lifted Coco to her face, her smile radiant.

"Rice, touch the chest."

After saying this, the little one reached out her small hand and accurately landed on a certain part of Annie, making Annie laugh and cry.

From some books about infant behavior, Annie knew that children between 1 and 3 years old often have this kind of behavior, so she couldn't take it personally, especially since it was a girl.

"Mom! Small!"

Annie immediately put on a serious face, which looked a bit scary, but the little one just giggled, not at all afraid.

"Not small!"

"Small!"

"Little brat, what do you know!"

"Yayaya!"

Clearly, in this conversation, Coco was at a disadvantage and could only express her dissatisfaction with meaningless words.

But regardless, interacting with Annie made Coco very happy, and she was willing to have such conversations and play with Annie...

"Mr. Hyuntae, please come in, is there anything?"

Kim Hyuntae quickly went to the door, and as he opened it, he saw his neighbor, Nate, standing there.

Seeing Nate with his glasses and refined appearance, Kim Hyuntae couldn't help but think of the night of the hangover and Nate's flirtatious dance moves. He couldn't imagine that Nate had such a side.

"No need, I'll say it here." Nate shook his head and didn't come in. "After a unanimous decision by the brothers of our Beach Community Brotherhood, I am now informing you that we have decided to accept you into our Beach Community Brotherhood."

Ah!?

Kim Hyuntae didn't expect Nate to come to him for this. He was also very surprised, as he didn't have any intention of joining the brotherhood.

Seeing Kim Hyuntae's dazed expression, Nate grinned, "Excited, right? Don't worry, there's even more exciting news. Since you're a new member, to welcome you, we've decided to go to 'Night Charm' tonight to celebrate your joining."

At this moment, Mr. Nate looked very excited, clearly looking forward to the night's festivities.

Night Charm?

Isn't that the strip club we went to last time!

What, it wasn't enough last time, and now he's finding an excuse to go again?

And... when did I decide to join the 'brotherhood'?
