Claus'POV
"I thought you guys would be asleep by now" monica muttered as she entered Izzy's room . I waa startled at first since I wasn't expecting her to enter the room that time. It was a pretty bitter sweet moment to be honest since i was thinking about her at that time. It was Monica's day off and I spent the whole day with Izzy. Thats when i realised that she truly was a pain in the ass. i felt like adding Monica's salary for the had eork she does putting up with my Izzy . she was growing fond of her and that gave me some sort of joy. of all the nannies i hired she was the one who had stayed longer , actually longer than i expected.. I lowkey wanted to propose to her but still i wasnt sure how to go about it. she was capturing my heart slowly but surely .she was the perfect match for me and Izzy. Her stubborn nature though was one of the reasons why I waa hesitant, very hesitant about it. I wasnt sure whether to go ahead with it or not. It was a tough decision and her beauty and kind nature was making it even harder.
**flashback****
Don't just think, do something about it. Izzy snapped at Monica out of nowhere for reasons best know to her while I stared amused at their drama. Isabella shot lazers at us with her eyes while I stared at the unfolding drama confused and wondered endlessly was she transferring her aggression on me or Monica? What the hell were they hiding from me?
"Well we will see to that later, for now lunch calls, I said hoping it would lead to an end of whatever madness was going on . I stared at my daughter and she was glaring at both me and Monica. She was clearly mad at to the both of us for reasons best know to her. I didn't want to get into it . Izzy was quite a handful. That wasn't going to stop me from being me.
"Manners on the table young lady, "I said as she gave an unlady like snort .
"like I care " she rolled her eyes and left right away as Monica stared at me with a questioning look as if I guessed her intention, I warned right away "No comment."
But Monica gave me an innocent shrug . "I wasn't going to say anything"
"Then what?"I was going to ask for permission to go up to my room to change before coming down for lunch." she said as she skimmed over her skeptically , I knew she was lying but I decided to play dumb.
"Fine ,be down by ten minutes" I said not expecting to see a slight frown crease on her face."what" I asked confused.
"Ten minutes!!"
I stared at her flabbergasted
"one hour?" I threw at her but she growled and stomped out as I grinned inwardly . I headed to my study to get some rest and get my thinking in check before I doomed lunch. I knew Isabella wasn't going to sit through lunch without causing an uproar . That girl had alot up her sleeves. I sighed , punching the space between my brow from exhaustion Wondering how different it would have been if she lived with me but inwardly I knew it was impossible considering the fact that I was always busy and my ex planted alot of evil seeds in her heart against me . She wanted me to know that I will never live above her influence, well good thing she succeeded . Not only do I have to watch out for my own daughter, I can't even trust a woman again."Wow, "I scoffed in disbelief. Even dead my ex still wins.i must be really lost in my thoughts cause the next thing I remember is being reminded by my maid that everyone is down and they are waiting for me so as to have lunch. the fact that I've been staring at space for twenty minutes. I got down to see a feast had been prepared just as I had ordered. I gracefully went to the table surprised to see Monica with her jaws wide open.
"What the hell, " she murmured as she looked at the mouth watering dishes stylishly dressed on the table . Are we celebrating a feast?She asked , the question ofcourse directed to me . " what do you think, I said nonchalantly taking my cutleries and digging in my food. A furrowed brow made its way on her face. "what?"
"We are celebrating you, for coming back and accepting to be Isabella's nanny again . we had missed you all of us " I explained as I saw her nod as if she understood what I was saying but staring awkwardly at the dishes. There was summer muesli made with cold semi-skimmed milk,oat,gratted apples , chopped almonds and a handful of mixed berries. Tomato and lentil soup with gronory pull with low fat youghurt. Grilled chicken with spring quinoa pilaf, and finally crab meat Cassonova with the iced shrimp, honey glazed salmon with abit of sauteed broccoli Red pepper and some green salad with some vinaigrette dressing.
"But the day is not over yet, "I said "how sure are you that I won't quit before the night falls. "
I gave her a hard stare and I said considering what you went through through those days you were her nanny and you still came back , am sure you are going to stay a little bit longer . I felt her cold energy saw her stiffen and immediately knew at once she had figured it out .
"Enjoy your meal, I casually said leaving her with no other choice but to eat her food. at once silence broke and when I thought it was over and everything had gotten back to normal Isabella struck .
I gave her a death stare, but she probably inherited it from me since she didn't budge ,she wasn't feeling intimidated in anyway.
"so I was wondering"she said as she was staring hard at me . The she started fidgetting on her chair making a squeaking sound as if she intended to cause suspense and make the moment uncomfortable for me,which was working very well. I tried to think what it could be
"when am I getting a mummy?"
