Chapter 1020
At that moment, Doris mentally scolded herself for uttering those words. She couldn’t believe she had
blurted out such sensitive information without considering the consequences. It was as if her mouth
had a mind of its own.
Though the truth was that Mr. Adelmar was indeed at home looking after the children, there was no
need for Doris to divulge that information so abruptly. But now that the words were out, she had to
stand her ground, no matter how ufortable it felt.
“Yes, you heard correctly,” Doris responded, her voice steady despite the swirling thoughts in her head.
“Mr. Adelmar is taking care of his children…twins, a boy, and a girl.”
The woman’s brows furrowed in surprise, clearly caught off guard by this revtion.

“And who are you to Mr. Adelmar?” she inquired, her tone growing increasingly hostile.
“We share the same roof,” Doris replied with a faint smile, choosing not to disclose further details. “No
need to delve into the specifics.”
“So,” the woman’s expression turned icy, “Mr. Adelmar has a wife and children?”
Doris was taken aback by the woman’s abrupt shift in demeanor, but she quickly realized the twisted
logic behind her thoughts. It became clear that Mr. Adelmar required the woman’s signature on the
document, but she had developed romantic feelings for him.
It became clear to Doris that the woman had ulterior motives for inviting Mr. Adelmar to this ce. No
wonder he had expressed his aversion to the meeting. The pieces were falling into ce, and Doris
couldn’t help but feel a sense of disbelief.
Just imagine, an older woman like her setting her sights on Mr. Adelmar? It was almostughable.
“You don’t need to ask about his wife and children,” Doris replied, her smile serene. “Please just sign
the document.”
“But I can’t help feeling upset,” the woman retorted, her face turning red with indignation. “If I had
known he had a wife and children, I wouldn’t have wasted my emotions!”
“No one forced you into this situation,” Doris remarked, her voice tinged with a hint of reproach. “Just
take a good look at yourself. How can someone like Mr. Adelmar be within your grasp? Don’t let a bit of
power go to your head andplicate matters. It won’t reflect well on you!”
The woman fell silent, her expression shifting from anger to contemtion. Was it so oundish for her,
a divorced woman, to develop feelings for Waylon?
She had done her due diligence, meticulously researching Waylon’s rtionship status. All signs
pointed to him being an eligible bachelor, a man who had yet to settle down. Could the information she
had gathered be inurate?
“Sign the damn document!” Doris pushed the papers forward with a forceful shove. “I don’t have time to
waste on your nonsense. I have to rush back home to feed my child!”
The woman was taken aback by Doris’s assertiveness. She was momentarily speechless, unable to
formte a suitable response.
Doris continued, her tone filled with impatience, “Please, just sign it already. I’ve said all I needed to
say. Are you still not getting it?”
Fueled by her ustomed air of entitlement, the woman retorted, “Who do you think you are to lecture
me? I haven’t done anything to your man!”
Doris, who was typically docile, was not one to be trifled with when push came to shove. She firmly
grabbed hold of the woman’s wrist, pulling her forcefully towards the table.
“Do you think you can mess with me?” Doris seethed with anger. “Aren’t you afraid that I could expose
you and tarnish your precious reputation?”
The woman, now a little fearful, pleaded, “Don’t you dare! I’ll sign it, and I’ll pretend I never knew your
man!”
“We never knew each other in the first ce!” Doris released her grip and opened the document.
The woman hastily retrieved a pen and her seal from her bag and swiftly wrote her name in the
designated space. “If only you had known this earlier, what a waste!” Doris collected the document and
made her departure.
In less than an hour, she returned to Macsen Vi and handed the document to Waylon. “Is it signed
already?” Waylon still seemed somewhat skeptical.
“It’s signed,” Doris blushed slightly. “But I didn’t give her an easy time. I don’t know if she’ll give you
trouble in the future.”
“Once the procedure ispleted, it’ll be fine. If she wants to make trouble for me, she doesn’t have
the ability!”
Waylon opened the document and confirmed that it was indeed signed. “Does this mean the task is
expected.
In essence, she had helped Waylon fend off unwanted advances.
“Yes,” Waylon nodded. “I didn’t misjudge you; you’re very capable in this role.”
He picked up another document from the table and said, “Sign a part-time agreement, and then you’ll
be done.”
A part-time agreement?
Doris raised an eyebrow in skepticism as she picked up the document prepared by Waylon and quickly
read through it.
As it turned out, it required her to work as a pastry chef at Nightfall Cafe and asionally apany
Waylon to simr social events. She was also responsible for maintaining confidentiality.
In return, she would receive free room and board at Macsen Vi, along with additional bonuses of
varying amounts.
Of course, she would also have the benefit of a free nanny to help take care of her children.
Doris’s heart bloomed with joy. Where else could she find such a wonderful opportunity?
Without hesitation, she picked up the pen and signed her name.
Then, with a cheerful skip in her step, she hurried off to see her children.
