There was another knock on the door, most likely the

Amanda instructed, “Please come in.”

nanny.

The nanny entered with a plate of chicken soup. “Miss Bailey, you didn’t eat much earlier. How can younot eat when you’re sick? Please have some soup to nourish yourself.”

“Thank you. Just leave it here, and I’ll drink it later.”

“Okay, you can leave the plate here when you’re finished, and I’ll come to collect it.”

The nanny placed the soup on the bedside table and left.

Amanda glanced at the light soup, but she had no appetite, so she turned over, closed her eyes, andtried to sleep..

She had a long and chaotic dream.

Later, she faintly heard a commotion, which grew louder and clearer and made it impossible. for her tofall back asleep.

She slowly opened her eyes and could clearly hear the commotion coming from downstairs. It soundedlike the nanny was arguing with a woman.

Strange.

Since she couldn’t sleep anyway, she got up and saw what was happening.

She wore her robe and walked out of the bedroom, and the noise became even more audible.

“Let me in! Who do you think you are, a nanny, to stop me from entering? Simon would never stop mefrom entering!”

“Miss Lynch, please stop causing trouble for me. Mr. Nicholson specifically instructed that you cannotenter if you visited recently, and I can’t do anything about it.”

“Why can’t I go in? Why is he treating me like this because of that woman on the phone? Doesn’t hewant me anymore?”

Following the sound, Amanda arrived downstairs and saw the nanny blocking a beautiful young womanoutside the door. The woman had an arrogant and domineering look; thus, she refused to leave.

Upon seeing Amanda descending from upstairs, Violet Lynch’s anger surged “It’s you! It’s

because of you that Simon has canceled our date! How shameless can a woman like you be!”

“Miss Lynch, please leave!” The nanny quickly stepped forward to stop her.

Unexpectedly, Violet pushed the nanny aside and walked straight toward Amanda. Without saying aword, she slapped Amanda in the face.

The nanny beside them was stunned and shouted, “Miss Lynch, how can you hit someone?”

“Why can’t I hit her? I’ll hit a shameless woman like her every time I see her.”

Violet’s anger was evident in her words. She was already furious, but she never expected that hewould bring this woman home.

I have never lived here before, so why does this woman have the right to?

Amanda looked at the woman in front of her and asked, “What gives you the right to hit someone?”

“You’re Simon’s ex-girlfriend, right? Old Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson have mentioned. you and they saidthey would never agree to let you into the Nicholsons as you’re always. pestering him. Who do youthink you are? Do you think he is some kind of savior? What gives you

the right to bully him? He finally had a chance to start a new relationship, and now you’re here to causetrouble again!”

Violet had always known that there was a woman in Simon’s heart that he couldn’t forget, but she waswilling to wait. She had waited a long time, and finally, he had relaxed a bit and agreed to go on a datewith her, but a phone call had shattered all her dreams.

“You’re Simon’s new girlfriend?” Amanda questioned.

Girlfriend? Not really. He reluctantly agreed to have a meal with Violet, but she felt it was progress! “If itweren’t for you, we might have already become boyfriend and girlfriend by now.” Violet’s face was fullof resentment as she coldly snorted.

Amanda looked at the woman in front of her and said, “First of all, I’m sorry, as I didn’t know he was ina new relationship. The situation was urgent then, and I didn’t mean to disturb. you. Besides, I have norelationship with him other than being ordinary friends. Please don’t misunderstand. You can continueto date him, and I will never be a hindrance between you

two.”

Violet looked Amanda up and down. At this moment, Amanda had a plain face and looked a bit sickly,but her temperament and features revealed that she was a beautiful woman.

Violet sneered disdainfully. “Nice words. You live in Simon’s house and occupy his time. every day.Thus, he even stopped answering my calls. How can I continue to date him? You’re hypocritical, so OldMr. and Mrs. Nicholson don’t like you as you’re good at

Amanda nodded as she indeed needed to take real action and not trouble him anymore. She had tosolve her own problems.

Furthermore, he should not be involved in this dispute as she couldn’t let him. get because of heragain.

“Okay, sorry, I’ll leave now, and you just wait here for Simon to return. Don’t let me disturb yourenjoyment, and I hope you can make up for his emotional loss.”

Amanda went upstairs after she said that. The nanny immediately approached her, “Miss Bailey, youcan’t leave as I won’t be able to explain to Mr. Nicholson if you leave. How can I tell him?”

Violet, who was on the side, sarcastically answered, “What else can you say? Just tell the truth. Canyou stop her if she insists on leaving?”

Amanda showed a helpless smile. “Yes, please tell Simon I insisted on leaving, and I don’t want tobother him anymore. I’m already fine now, so I will handle things independently. Let him live his ownlife.”

After speaking, she quickly went upstairs, changed into a different outfit, then took her phone and wentdownstairs.

The nanny couldn’t help but try to persuade her, “Miss Bailey, why don’t you wait for Mr. Nicholson tocome back and talk to him yourself? I really can’t take charge of this.”

The nanny was worried that Simon would be angry with her because of Amanda’s departure.

“No need for it. I heard him saying that you cared for me last night, changed my clothes, and helped meto lower my fever. You really went through a lot of trouble. Thank I’m leaving now as I have somethingto take care of.” you, Rosanne.

Amanda left the house without even wearing the new clothes that Simon bought for her. Instead, shewore her old clothes.

After seeing her completely leave, Violet felt relieved and sat on the sofa; she looked at the nanny,“Alright, please stop staring. Can you stop her if she insists on leaving? Please pour me a glass ofwater, as I’m a bit thirsty,”

The nanny couldn’t help but sigh as she made her way to the kitchen as she still needed to figure out away to contact Simon and give him an update. However, Simon had specifically mentioned that theevent he attended that evening was exclusive and prohibited the use of phones.

It was already approximately ten o’clock at night when Simon finally departed from the
