Babysitting The Billionaire’s Adult Son

Humming to a K-pop song playing on a mobile device are Melanie and Archie, they are singing along with the artiste as she is seen weaving Archie’s hair in a French style.

They were sitting outside of the cottage which is very close to the kitchen. Every movement going on in the front yard could be easily seen from the kitchen.

Mr Gordon glares at them from the kitchen as he’s making barbecue on the barbecue net. He hates the fact that Melanie is busily occupied weaving Archie’s hair while leaving him alone by himself in the kitchen to prepare a meal for them.

“Do you think this hairstyle will look good on me?” Archie asks a thousand times, moving his hand to touch the hair but Melanie slaps his hand off.

“Stop complaining and sit right. Don’t touch until I’m done,” she warned, using her finger to part his hair. “Your hair is long and I love playing with long hair.” Melanie smiles as she weaves his long brown hair.

“Really?” Archie gasp in surprise. “I was worried you might not like it, so I can keep long hair?” he raises his brows as he awaits a reply from her.

Melanie smiles into his hair. “Of course, you always look adorable in anything to wear or do. Be it long or short hair, you will always look graceful to me.” she blurts out truthfully.

Mr Gordon loses the band that is holding his hair and lets it fall to his back. He stares dagger at the band in his hand and then throws it out of the window. “I also have long hair but she wouldn’t talk about it, she kept on packing my hair up without leaving a comment. She is there praising him like he is the only one growing long hair.” he spat as he flips the barbecue over.

“Now she is liking him more than me, wonderful!” he groans angrily as he drizzles seasoning on the meat.

The aroma of the barbecue is enticing but he couldn’t perceive it since his mind is outside with them and not in the kitchen. He watches them play outside and feels jealous for being an outcast.

“Do you not say you have something you wanna ask me earlier?” Melanie asks, moving her gaze from his hair to the garden in front of them.

Melanie has always wanted to move around the cottage since they got there, in the afternoon, but she couldn’t since they all seemed hungry and needed to eat before touring the place.

Archie sigh shortly before giving a tired smile. “Of course, I do have something important that I want to ask but I can’t seem to put myself to ask you now, maybe some other time. Perhaps before we depart this place,” he says, rubbing his hand. Melanie stops staring at the flowers, she stares at his face from the back for what seemed like a minute before continuing with the weaving.

“You can ask me anytime you feel like it.” she smiles and started losing the weaving.

Mr Gordon put down the barbecue sauce from the cooker and place it gently on the counter. They are at the vacation house that his father built, his uncle gave it to him in his name and he wouldn’t know it was built by his father if he hasn’t seen the property file that has his father’s name on it.

He has been here once with his father when he was two. He saw the family picture at the store of his uncle’s house where they had kept his parents’ stuff, and he had sworn to bring his family to the vacation house, one day.

The cottage was built in the middle of a garden that his father made years before his death. It was a flower garden of any kind. He has always wanted to bring his dead wife to the vacation house but the situation at that time wouldn’t let him do so. now that he has another one, it would be stupid of him to not take her here.

He smile as the thought of doing anything for Melanie cross his mind. “Yes. I will do anything for her.” he agree with his inner mind, letting his mind wander to what he had planned on doing with her here at the vacation house. Something he has been depriving himself of for some years now.

“Do you want us to take a walk around here?” Melanie asks Archie, who wouldn’t stop glancing around the front yard.

“No. I will prefer we do that in the morning.” he beams and stand up from the ground. The song has stopped playing minutes ago, which was unknown to the two of them.

“Should we head inside?” he asks, after filling his nostrils with his father cooking.

“Ahh, yes, yeah let’s head inside.” Melanie laughs nervously.

Archie stands up from the ground, he stretches out his hand for Melanie to take his hand. She snuck her palm into his awaiting hand and he pull her up.

“Should we play some games?” Archie asks as they make their way to the small but cosy living room.

“Yes, sure,” she replies and pulls him closer to the long couch.

Archie drops his phone on the centre table. He rushes to the refrigerator and picks up a bottle of water.

“Here, we’ll flip the bottle, whoever his bottle sits on the table will answer any questions truthfully that the winner will ask.” he grinned maliciously as he watch her face wrinkle up in a frown.

“Hmm, okay, that’s fine.” she shrugs as she didn’t seem to see any reason to be afraid of answering a question about herself.

“Okay!” Archie beams. He picks up the bottle and flips it over which falls back unto the table.

Melanie laugh as she watch the disappointed frown on his face. ‘Hold on, did he have a question to ask me’? She thought as she move closer to try her luck.

Mr Gordon couldn’t move his gaze off of them, he clamps his teeth together as he watches them having fun without him.

The knife in his hand dance maliciously on the chopping board, he keeps on chopping the vegetables without looking at it

Suddenly he let out an agonising cry as blood shoot out of his left thumb.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
