Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 859: The Babysitting Pro

Asher held Joyce close, affectionately cradling her as she giggled and nuzzled against his face.

"You're leaving in a few days?" he asked, looking at the child who had grown from a wrinkly little bundle into a lively toddler who could now speak a few words.

Aurora nodded. "Yes."

"And when you're back in Clothville, what will you do about the kids when you're at work?"

"They're already weaned. I'll have Mrs. Hill look after them." Aurora's tone carried the confidence of someone used to managing everything.

Asher frowned. "Mrs. Hill, huh?"

"Yes, she's been with us for a long time. We're all used to her. The kids are over a year old now, and in a few months, when they're two, they can start early education classes."

"Why not stay home until they're at least two? They're small now, but this is when they need you the most."

explained.

Asher's eyebrows lifted as an idea formed in his mind. "How about this: I'll take a few months off and look after the kids. You can focus on work without any worries."

"You'll look after the kids?" Aurora's surprise was evident.

"What? Don't think I can handle it?" Asher challenged, raising an eyebrow.
