The Billionaire’s Babysitter by Essie

Chapter 27

Two weeks had pa**ed since Gisele had recovered. She couldn’t remember yet, but if she had really fallen in love with Slate, she understood why. He was so sweet and had been really kind and understanding towards her.

Gisele knew his patience had been tried a few times but he didn’t show it, or tried to control it.

“What are you smiling at, Gigi? Is it my Daddy that made you smile?”, Callie asked, looking thoughtful.

“Yes honey, and you too”, Gisele answered, smiling at her.

Callie smiled when Gisele said that. Callie was a sweet kid who loved her father — and Gisele — very much. She was so funny and ‘had a flair for the dramatic’

“Gigi, will you marry Daddy someday and become my Mommy?”, Callie asked out of the blue.

Gisele was at a loss on how to answer Callie. She didn’t want to break her heart, but she also could not say she was going to marry a virtual stranger.

“Callie… people don’t just get married like that… they… Callie to marry, you need to love the person you get married to –”

“But you told me you loved Daddy! You told me you were never gonna leave me! You’re a liar! Liar!”, Callie screamed, sobbing, then ran out of the room.

Gisele didn’t know what to do. She went up to comfort Callie but when she saw Slate already doing that, she contented herself with standing at the door.

“Don’t cry, okay?”, Slate said, wiping Callie’s tears.

“The new Gisele is not nice at all! She’s a liar”, Callie answered.

Gisele felt hurt even though she knew she was not really at fault. She felt so bad that she had caused Callie to break down.

Slate whispered words to Callie, kissed her forehead then went out of her room and closed the door gently behind him.

As soon as Slate came out, Gisele looked up towards him with a guilty expression on her face.

“Slate I’m so sorry. She has not had a bad tantrum since the first day of our meeting. I just…”, Gisele said and sighed, not realizing what she had just said.

“You remember?”, Slate asked, looking hopeful.

Gisele, on her part looked confused.”Remember?”

“You said she had not had a bad tantrum since the first day. Does that mean you remember?”, he asked again.
