Chapter 5 Be Responsible

"What?" Elise looked at the boy in disbelief. 'Does he even know what he is talking about?'

"Kid, I'm not your mommy." Elise tried to get close and explain. Unfortunately, she was fully wrapped in the quilt and couldn't move freely. Instead of being able to squat down, she accidentally stepped on the quilt and fell face first on the floor. Her head got buried in the soft quilt.

The boy stood up and turned to look at her. Then came an arrogant and firm declaration, "From now on, you are my hired mommy. I will allow you to hold me, kiss me, love me, and take care of me. And you can only love me from now on. Do you understand?"

Elise blinked her eyes in confusion. 'Is this some sort of a game that rich boys play? They could hire moms?

His parents don't know about this, do they?'

"Why aren't you saying something? Don't you want to be my mommy?" The boy frowned in dissatisfaction. He squatted and raised Elise's chin, looking at her delicate face.

Somehow, looking into the boy's eyes reminded Elise of the child that she had lost five years ago.

If he had survived, he would be about this age right now and calling her mommy.

She got lost in thought and her lack of attention irritated the boy.

'This woman doesn't listen to me carefully.

Last night, she held me and said she wouldn't leave me again. How can she forget that after waking up?

She's gone too far.

Women are liars!'

Suddenly, Elise felt a little pain in her chin. She returned to her senses and heard the boy's angry voice. "I don't care what you say. You held me last night and slept with me. You have to be responsible for me!"

Then he let her chin go and snapped his fingers.

The door was pushed open, and a group of servants marched inside. They moved expressionlessly and there were all kinds of clothes in their hands. A silver-haired old man led the company.

He stopped about three meters away from the bed and opened the folder he was carrying in his hands. As his slender figures flipped through the contents of the folder, Elise was shocked at what his warm and approachable voice told her.

"Elise Ye, 24 years old. Currently unemployed. Eric Li, hereafter referred to as Party A, is willing to hire Elise Ye, hereafter referred to as Party B, to be his mommy, at a salary of thirty thousand dollars a month. The term of the contract is currently set as one year with a probation period of three months. Miss Ye, if you have no objection, please sign here!"

"Ha?"

Elise, still wrapped in the quilt, could utter nothing apart from a single syllable of immense shock and confusion.

Tenderly, she went over the contract and discovered that it was a contract of employment as a nanny. The only difference was that the boy would call her his mommy.

Thirty thousand a month seemed like a very attractive figure.

Struggling to sit up straight, Elise twisted her body and sat on the floor so that her eyes were level with the boy's.

"Look, you can't call someone else Mommy just like that. Otherwise, your real mommy will be sad. Okay?"

Regardless of the reason, Elise didn't want to play such a game with this child. She could not hurt a mother's feelings.

She had to make it clear.

"But I don't have a real mommy!"

That was the reason he wanted to hire this woman as his mommy.

She was soft and he felt comfortable in her arms. She also smelled sweet.

She was just like that hateful guy had said-"Mommy is soft and sweet."

Elise was a little surprised.

'He doesn't have a mother? So he...'

Elise felt a stinging pain in her heart. She touched the boy's tender face with her fingers, trying to keep her tears in her eyes.

The boy merely stood there, not struggling at all while Elise caressed him. He tilted his head and looked at the woman. Her eyes were filled with tears for some reason.

"So, do you want to be my mommy? Tell me."
