The Runaway Groom

Erma was inconsolable—she almost fell apart because of Zachary's baby when she had to take care of her!

It was not easy for her to get away from that place, and now, Vivian was forcing her to go back?!

"Ms. Crowe," she said, gulping. "That woman is just a nanny. Mr. Slate loves and cares most for his daughter, so you should work on his daughter instead if you want him—"

Before she could finish, Vivian shot her an icy glare.

"What?" Vivian asked with an edge in her voice. "Are you trying to tell me what to do?"

The man holding Erma tightened his grip over her neck, and Erma promptly shook her head after being strangled for a moment. “I'll go! I'll go today!"

Viivan nodded, hearing a satisfying answer. "Good!" This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

She gestured for the man to release Erma and brandished a debit card at Erma. "I'll pay you double once you get it done!"

After the pair were gone and only Erma was left, her brow furrowed even as she kept rubbing her neck.

The man was so strong he could snap her windpipe in half if she did not say yes!

“It took me so much to get out... and now she wants me to go back in!" She took out her phone—it was past 1 PM, and the baby should be napping right now!

"Whatever!" She stamped her feet angrily, remembering the money Vivian offered. "It's for the money anyway. I can do this!"

With those words, she hurried to that familiar neighborhood.

Zachary's house was located in an expensive district, and there were security guards at the entrance. However, since Erma had been working there for a while, they did not stop her.

She arrived downstairs without any issue and just happened to see Lulu.

Luna was sleeping the whole morning since she did not sleep well last night, and Lulu did not dare to venture outside when there was nobody in the house.

Luna eventually opened her eyes in the afternoon. Lulu hence decided to carry her out for a grocery run since they were lacking necessities. However, she had just gotten downstairs when she saw a suspicious figure nearby.

"Who are you?" Lulu shielded Luna in reflex when she remembered the shadow.

Luna babbled softly but did not cry.

"Hello..." Erma greeted her since she could not hide now. "Remember me, miss?"
