Chapter 2014: Too lowly
Mother He noticed her expression and said, “This is the smallest room for the nanny, no larger than a cubicle. If it’s too small, I’ll spare so space for you to stay at my place.”
Shen Manting shook her head and responded, “This is fine. After all, I’m a nanny from now on. There’s no need to treat differently.”
Mother He sympathized with her. “Miss, Master was most likely only joking. You know him, he has a sharp tongue, but he doesn’t necessarily an his words. Just give in and offer him an apology. Nurse the baby, but you don’t have to stay here...”
“Where should I stay, then?” Shen Manting laughed in a self-mocking tone. “I’m no longer a daughter of the family nor Shen Luo’an’s sister. There’s no place more suitable for than this room.”
She set her luggage on the floor continued, “I’ll pick up the baby first and organize the room myself later. You may get on with your work, Mother He.”
“All right. Move along, then.”
Shen Manting set down her bag on the bed and left the room.
Shen Luo’an had coaxed the infant to sleep and was placing him in the crib.
He saw her enter and said, “If there’s anything wrong with the baby later, call imdiately.”
“Nonsense.” Shen Manting frowned and reassured, “Nothing will happen to him.”
Shen Luo’an straightened his posture and started to take off his clothes.
Shen Manting was shocked to see him undress and blurted, “What are you doing?”
Shen Luo’an paused to look at her and replied calmly, “I’m changing my clothes.”
He tossed his clothes into the laundry basket and slowly opened his wardrobe.
He took out an outfit and took his ti to put it on. Then, he turned around and went out.
Shen Manting felt a little uneasy. She only dared to look around the room after he had left.
Shen Luo’an’s room was spacious.
The room was the master bedroom, furnished with a large walk-in wardrobe and a two-ter bed.
The bathroom in the suite was fully equipped with a toilet, a shower, and a bathtub.
It was huge.
The room alone was bigger than all the houses she had stayed in over the past year.
However, the sight of the bed flustered Shen Manting and recalled feelings of fear in her.
Back then, Shen Luo’an had pressed her down on this bed and forced her to do everything she didn’t want to do.
She was humiliated and treated like a whore by him.
Shen Manting felt her chest tense up. She suddenly thought of herself as cheap and lowly.
She looked at the infant soundly asleep in the crib. She felt her heart ache and her eyes began to water.
This was it...
There was no turning back.
She went out and headed for her old room.
The room was still empty and clean.
It seed to have been converted into a guest room.
There were many rooms inside the villa. The door of Shen Zhilie’s room was shut tightly. The door of the adjacent room was closed as well.
Mother He ca forward and noticed Shen Manting looking at the rooms. She inford her, “These two rooms belong to the younger master. The room he used to occupy is too small for him now that he’s married, so he moved into a bigger room. The couple acquired an apartnt unit together. It has already been renovated. They’ll be moving out at the end of this year.”
Shen Manting nodded. She muttered in a poignant tone, “Zhilie is now all grown up, too.”
“Indeed.” Mother He smiled. “Everyone in the family has achieved happiness, except Master.”
Shen Manting glanced at her silently.
“He’s a little annoying sotis, but he’s a decent character at heart,” Mother He sighed. “He has been rather downcast lately, especially after he ca back from Jiangsu. Every day, he sits in a daze with the baby in his arms and doesn’t say a word.”
