Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 574

Leanna leaned back against the chair and smiled faintly. "You're not a nanny because I'm not going to pay you."

Maya was speechless and she said unwillingly, "Is this something a human would do?"

Leanna continued speaking slowly. "To be honest, when you first wanted to introduce Raymond to me, we both knew what you were after. I've never been a generous person, and people always describe me as cunning and vengeful."

Maya hesitated. "Well… It's been so long since that happened. If it's not okay, I can apologize to you again, but please don't take it out on my husband. I will take responsibility for what I've done."

"Alright, but you have to agree to my condition."

"What condition?"

"As I said earlier, help me take care of the child. But I'll be upfront with you; if you agree to this, the safety of that child will be directly linked to the safety of your daughter," Leanna said.

Maya's expression changed. "What do you mean by that?"

Leanna's lips curled slightly. "What I mean is that I will use your daughter as leverage. So, you should think carefully before giving me an answer."

Maya frowned. "You're confusing me. What child? Where did the child come from?"

"Mine. I gave birth to it."

"With whom?"

Leanna just looked at her and didn't say anything.

Maya cleared her throat and took a sip of coffee. "How old is the child?"

"Around seven to eight months."

"I've had experience taking care of children, but I've never done it alone. There was always a nanny with me, so I can't guarantee that I can handle it by myself. If something goes wrong, and you blame me for it, who am I going to reason with?"

"Don't worry, there will be others. The child is well-behaved; you just need to take care of stuff like feeding and changing diapers. I'll be back at night."
