Chapter 266

Meanwhile, a hint of grimness flashed across Scott and Stellan's faces as they listened to the mother and daughter's conversation.

"Scott, let's check out the room upstairs." Stellan tugged at his brother as the two decided to set up a security system at home so that they'd know once a bad guy broke in.

Now that they were living in a massive house, it was only logical for them to be more vigilant.

After playing a little while with Sylvie, Patricia went into the kitchen, where she found Josephine busying away.

"I'll wash the vegetables," Patricia offered as she brought the vegetables aside for washing while Josephine moved on to prepping the fish and meat.

"The house is really sweet, Tricia. With such a massive kitchen, it's a treat to cook here."

Patricia was done washing the vegetables when she heard Josephine's words, and she smiled. "You'll have your work cut out for you when you clean the place up."

Of course, she and the kids would help Josephine with the chores during weekends.

She might have hired Josephine to be their nanny, but it was the latter who had been helping her all these years. What was more, Josephine genuinely treated the triplets well, and they also saw her as one of them.

"Don't worry about it." Josephine beamed. "I don't usually have much to do anyway. Cleaning the house will be my daily workout."

Just then, Sylvie came into the kitchen. "Mommy, Mr. Handsome's here."

Patricia's cheeks turned rosy reflexively as the scene of their intimate moment in his place popped into her head.

She had gotten a little abashed; to think they had become so close.

"Tricia, why don't you make Mr. Arnold something to drink? I'll take over from here."

At that, Patricia wiped her hands dry and turned to her baby girl. "Sylvie, why don't you entertain Mr. Arnold while I make him a drink?"

Though this place was new, it had everything necessary. Hendrick had probably assumed they would move in very soon.

She found a box of tea at the bar by the dining room, and after steeping it, she brought it out to the living room.

She could already see the man sitting on the couch from afar. He had taken a shower at this point, dressed in casual clothing—a gray sweater and black pants. His let-down hair took some of his usual fierceness off the edge, making him look like a gentle guy next door.

Sylvie, on the other hand, gawked at him with her big, round eyes as she at by his side.

She could tell the girl thought this version of Isaac looked dashing, and she agreed that he looked exceptionally ravishing right then.

"Dinner will be ready soon, Mr. Arnold. Here, have some tea," she said as she put the teacup in front of him.

Meanwhile, Isaac riveted his deeply affectionate gaze on her, and Patricia knew full well what was running through his mind right then. Thus, she sat a little further away, or she believed she'd be turned on by his blazing eyes.
