Chapter 94
“Mr. Neil, why are you still up?”
Dayton heard the sound of someone hitting the ground. He was afraid that Mr. Neil had a nightmare and rolled out of bed, so he hurriedly came upstairs to take a look.
He would never have expected Mr. Neil and Miss Vivian, the one fired by Mr. Monroe, to be in the

Vera and Dayton had an indescribable panic inside when their eyes met. Vera wondered whether she should knock out Dayton before he shouted Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
As everyone fell into silence, Neil abruptly signaled the butler to hush. He blinked his big, innocent eyes and clasped his hands together, pleading with Dayton.
It was as if Neil was saying, ‘Please. Please don’t cast my mommy away!
“Oh my!” Dayton suddenly let out a soft cry. He narrowed his eyes and murmured, “Am I sleepwalking?”
With that, Dayton closed the door and left. However, right before shutting it, he gave Vera a meaningful look, suggesting that Vera should leave promptly after seeing Mr. Neil and should not make things difficult for the servants.
Vera gratefully nodded at Dayton, indicating that she would leave before Carlos returned.
“How was your day, my sweetheart?”
Vera carried Neil to his bed and lay on his side. She patted him gently and tried to put the little guy to sleep.
Neil pressed his little feet against Vera’s legs as if he was worried that she would run away. He refused to close his eyes and kept talking with Vera in signature language.
“Mommy, will you come and see me again tomorrow night?”
“Mommy, everyone says that evil woman is going to marry Daddy. What should we do?”
“Mommy…”
Vera understood Neil’s uneasiness and anxiety, so she tried her best to comfort Neil and calm him down. After a while, she was exhausted.
Unknowingly, Vera closed her eyes. When she was about to fall asleep, she heard Dayton’s voice from outside, “Mr. Monroe, welcome home!” The butler sounded as he deliberately raised his voice.
Vera cried inside, ‘Damn it! Carlos is back! Why didn’t Ramon send me a message in advance?
Vera did not have time to think. She flipped over and crawled under the bed.

Neil was sleeping peacefully in Vera’s arms. However, he opened his eyes in a daze when he heard

wrong, Neil? Did you have a nightmare?”
Carlos’s heart ached when he saw his son crying so sadly. He hurriedly sat by the bed and hugged Neil to comfort him.
Vera was startled under the bed because Carlos’s feet were about an inch away from her. She was so flustered that she covered her mouth with both hands. She did not even dare to breathe loudly because she was scared she would get caught.
Vera thought, ‘Just thinking about it makes me angry. I am here to see my son, but now I look like I got caught at a meeting with a lover.‘
When Vera was feeling depressed, a slipper came straight at her face!
It was because Carlos went to bed to comfort Neil and accidentally threw his slippers under the bed due to his exaggerated movements.
Vera caught the slipper quickly and cursed inside. Then, she extended two fingers and slowly pushed the slipper out.
She planned to put the slipper towards the edge of the bed, hoping Carlos would notice it without having to peer underneath for his missing footwear. In that case, he would not discover her.
Unexpectedly, Carlos suddenly cried coldly, “Why is the slipper moving? There’s something under the bed!”
Vera hurriedly retreated when she sensed Carlos was going to look under the bed.
She made a mistake in her panic. Her butt bumped into something and made a muffled thud.
“Who is it?” After an angry shout, Carlos’s handsome face appeared before Vera in the dim light.
