Chapter 814
The nanny, rmed by themotion, rushed in, full of worry.
After witnessing the situation, she tried to mediate and calm Patricia down, “Ms. Howard, what’s the
matter? Did Baber piss you off again? He’s just a kid; he doesn’t know better. Please don’t pick on a
child.”
Patricia was in no mood to see anyone at that moment, and she snapped, “I told you to get out! Who let
you back in here? Who do you think you are to give me your two cents?”
The nanny quickly lowered her head, responding with respect, “Ms. Howard, I wouldn’t dare…”
Patricia, with nowhere to vent her anger, suddenly pped the nanny, “You wouldn’t dare? You
wouldn’t dare, yet you just waltzed in here! I hired you to take care of my child, look at what you’ve
done to him! He cries the moment he sees me! Am I a monster or a demon that he’s so scared of me? I
bet you’ve been filling his head with nonsense!”
The nanny clutched her face in pain and tried to exin, ‘Ms. Howard, I didn’t teach Baber anything
bad… It’s normal for you to be a bit impatient with the kid sometimes since you’re a first-time mom. If
you were a bit more patient with Baber, he wouldn’t be scared of you.”
Patricia pped her again, “You’re saying I don’t have patience? Do I need you to teach me how to be
a good mother? Look at yourself. Who do you think you are?!”
The p was so fierce that the nanny fell to the ground and began sobbing uncontrobly.
Watching the woman who usually took care of him get knocked to the ground made Baber’s cries grow
louder and more terrified.
However, the nanny hadn’t closed the door when she barged in, and Balfour, freshly changed into his
loungewear and about to head downstairs, happened to pass by the door and witness Patricia’s violent
act.
“What are you doing?!”
Balfour walked in, his face a mask of anger. Seeing both the nanny and Baber crying, he asked sternly,
“Patri, what’s going on?”
Balfour’s sudden appearance threw Patricia into a panic.
She quickly hid her anger, her eyes darting around before she put on her usual gentle facade and ran
into Balfour’s arms, crying.
“Balfour, you came just in time. This nanny is absolutely awful! She was feeding Baber without even
cooling the food first, and his mouth is all red from the heat! I caught her in the act and reprimanded
her, but she wouldn’t admit her mistake and even talked back! It involved Baber’s health, so I was so
angry I hit her!”
Balfour, without a change in expression and not hugging her back, looked at the sobbing Baber’s red
mouth, then asked the nanny seriously, “Is that true?”
Patricia’s eyes flickered nervously. Balfour was asking the nanny for confirmation? Balfour would’ve
simply taken her word for it before.
What on earth was going on with Balfourtely?
The nanny got up, ready to exin herself, but she saw Patricia’s threatening gaze.
She felt scared. Considering Balfour’s usual favoritism towards Patricia, even if she told the truth, she
might not gain his trust and would likely upset.
Patricia
In the end, the nanny didn’t dare tell the truth, “Mr. Howard, I didn’t do it on purpose…”
Balfour frowned, coldly saying, “If you can’t take the time to care for a child properly, start packing up
and leave!”
The nanny reluctantly nodded, giving Baber a look full of regret before leaving silently.
Patricia breathed a sigh of relief, seeking sce in Balfour’s arms like she always did, “Balfour, that
nanny was truly out of line! If I hadn’t caught her in time, Baber might have been bullied by her!”
Balfour, hands on Patricia’s shoulders, pushed her away without aforting word. “If you think others
can’t take care of your child well, you should do it yourself! Baber is your child, don’t expect others to
care more about him than his own mother!”
Patricia was taken aback, feeling a strange distance between her and Balfour, as if there was
something untouchable in between.
“I understand, Balfour! From now on, I’ll try my best to take care of Baber myself!”
