“She's your new nanny” Erica finally let out the bubble upon seeing how upset Jenna was.
Jenna stood speechlessly when she heard what Erica said–She was stunned as she had never expected that a nanny would arrange for her at such an age.
“My nanny?” She asked and Erica nodded.
“Since when did I need a nanny, Miss Burnett? Who asked you to get me a nanny as it is? ” Jenna was so upset by this matter that she shrieked at the top of her voice.
“Wait baby, I know you don't need a nanny but.......” She winked at her discreetly.
Jenna quickly picked up the sign and folded her arms around her chest in an adult-like manner as she sulked.
The nanny was arranged and sent by Bethany, so if she were to reject and send the young woman back without reason. Then, it would raise a lot of questions. Moreover, Erica would soon get busy with meetings with Danica, so there should be someone to take care of Jenna when she goes out.
Erica smiled as she moved close to the young lady and said in a gentle voice.
“I was just pulling your legs just now, alright?” She smiled.“You should go ahead first and get changed, And you shouldn't bother coming after us today since you must be tired after your flight. So, here” She handed him the keys to their hotel room.
“Thank you, Miss Burnett ” She took the keys and headed up to their rooms.
While Erica took Jenna by the hand and made to leave. But Jenna refused to leave as she looked up at her with anger.
“Why does your best friend always want to make life difficult for me?” She asked before moving forward reluctantly.
Erica stood speechless for a while before rolling her eyes. Then, she followed suit.
Coincidentally, Danica and the others were also coming out of the hotel when she saw Erica and Jenna entering the car–She was instantly sent to cloud ten upon laying her eyes on the woman from a distance.
Right then, a smile appear on her lips as she felt victorious.
She turns to see the assistant and Jordan standing beside her.
“Get in the car and let follow them right now.”She ordered and they quickly entered the car as they zoomed after them.
Freddie, the tour guide would take Jenna to sail on the sea. On the one hand, Erica had seasickness; on the other hand, she didn’t want to be filed by several people at any time no matter where she went. Hence, she told them at the last minute that she wouldn’t be joining them.
“A cup of coffee, please,” she ordered a cup of coffee in the cafe next to the outdoor cafe.
Then she sat there until noon, feeling quite relaxed.
Erica was sitting in front of the drink bar after several rounds of horse ride and skydiving, she seems very tired and needed a rest. While Jenna was still with the guards having a great time.
Just then, she saw a little figure.
In distance, a small figure was caught by a hotel staff, who was speaking English to the boy.
Erica glanced through the sunglasses. Suddenly she was taken aback. Then she straightened up instantly.
Wasn’t that Jordan?
“Hey! Jordan?”
She stood up and yelled his name from afar. The little boy immediately looked back at her. Breaking free from the staff’s hand, he rushed to Erica and hugged her thigh immediately.
“Jordan, why are you here alone?” she asked.
Erica couldn’t believe her eyes. Jordan was such a little boy and he was supposed to be home. How could he suddenly appear in front of her?
She didn't expect that Danica would indeed set her child up as bait.
The hotel staff walked over to check on them. With gestures, he asked what was going on with this child.
Erica picked Jordan up to hold him in her arms and explained to the staff in fluent English, “This is my friend’s son. He should be staying in this hotel. I’ll take the boy to him later. Please don’t worry.”
Seeing that Jordan had been attached to Erica, the hotel staff didn’t doubt anything else. Then he left them alone.
As soon as the staff was gone, Erica put down Jordan.
seeing the sadness in his eye , she couldn't help herself.
Squatting down, she asked, “Jordan, why are you here? Where’s your daddy?”
Jordan glared at her, without answering her and only shook his head vigorously
Considering that he couldn’t speak that the child had refused to speak Erica changed the way of asking. “Did your daddy come here with you?”
Noah nodded in a negative form.
Hayden frowned. “Do your daddy and you stay in this hotel?”
Jordan nodded again.
“Then why are you here alone?”
Upon hearing her question, Jordan immediately pouted, unhappiness written all over his face.
Erica wondered if he was suffering from any grievance.
She felt helpless. Since she couldn’t understand him since he has refused to say anything, she pulled out her cell phone and dialed Bethany's number directly.
“I’m sorry. The subscriber you dialed cannot answer the call right now. Please...”
The call was not connected. Only a mechanical voice came from the other end.
Erica frowned, wondering what was wrong with Bethany.
How could she leave her son alone here? And Bethany, on the other hand, couldn’t even be reached on the phone.
While she was wondering, she saw Jordan's neck was red all over from the corner of her eyes.
“Jordan, what’s wrong with your neck?” she sounded so concern.
Erica hurriedly pulled open his collar to check. Then she saw not only his neck but also his chest was bloody red. It was obvious that he had got sunburn. After a long time, Erica took the phone and handed it over to him , Jordan took over her phone and type his explanation to show her.
“Just this afternoon, mummy took me to play on the seashore. It hurts under the sun.”
Erica couldn’t believe that Danica had arrived here at night yesterday.
Now she couldn’t care much about it. When she caught a glimpse of those sunburn marks on the little boy, she felt terribly sorry for him. “Your mummy didn't even know how to do to prevent the sun from hurting your body
Jordan curled his lips even more pitiful at this time–he looked very sad like he had been forced to do things g
he didn't want to.
Erica felt sorry for him, so she decided to deal with his sunburns first before thinking of how to find Danica. Otherwise, Jordan would have his skin peeled off in two days.
Erica felt terrible knowing how a mother would do this to her child.
She held his hand, and was about to go in search of medication when her eyes suddenly fell on Danica, who looked like she was in a disarray–She kept running around with her eyes looking all puffy like she has been crying all along.
She kept going around, showing a certain picture on her phone to the people she met–It seems like she was in search of someone as she had a sad and shady expression.
While walking she stopped occasionally to scold the assistant, who was following her around.
“I told you to keep a watch over my son. Why did you leave him all by himself? why?” She kneaded her eyes afterward as she pretended to be in agony.
“I'm so sorry, Miss Medina, I didn't know that the young master would run off like that. Please forgive me” The assistant pleaded almost in tears.
“I won't let you off the hook so easily if anything happens to my son” Danica threatened as she roam around the place once more.
She pretended not to look in the direction of Erica, whereas Erica has already seen through her sneaky acts–She was baffled by fake empathy on the face of the woman.
how can a mother be this sneaky and shrewd? She's using her son to gain public attention, I'm so saddened by this sight!.
Erica rolled her eyes in disgust and looked away trying to calm her nerves from going overboard, otherwise, she would end up ruining things if she retaliated.
She turned her eyes to the side and her gaze fell on the sensitive skin of the little bit once more, she felt her heart ripping apart upon seeing these marks. –She quickly squats down to have a better look at the injuries, while turning her back toward Danica.
Seeing that Erica was not paying attention to her, Danica quickly adjusted her expression as she cried out loud in shock before rushing over.
She ran towards them in full force with the assistant running behind her–The assistant was almost out of breath as she was shocked to see the woman run like that.
“My child! ” Danica shouted, immediately after she got to where Erica was blowing on the skin of the child.
She claimed the child into a warm embrace without any atone of care for him.
“My child!my son!” She trailed kisses down the face of the little boy while hugging him close to herself tightly–She was almost squeezing the life out of the little boy due to how tight the hug was.
Her eyes were teary. Soon after, tears started falling off from her eyes as she continued to hug him like she didn't want to let him go.
“My child, Are you alright? What happened to you? Are you fine?” She asked in a choked voice and immediately pulled him to herself.
Jordan simply nodded his head at each question thrown at him. His face was already red after being squeezed like that repeatedly.
“Why did you run off so suddenly? What happened to you? Did anyone hurt you?” She asked as she glanced at him all over–She held his hands while squatting in front of him with tears dripping from her eyes. The makeup on her face was soon smeared all over due to the tears that kept falling off profusely.
“I was so worried about you, son! Don't do something like that to your mother again, do you hear me?” she implored while shaking him.
Jordan was frightened by her hypocrisy that he felt skeptical and burst into tears.
“Don't cry many, mommy is already here. Nothing will happen to you when I'm here, I'm sorry that I wasn't with you ”
Soon enough, all the people at the beach area soon started crowding around them as they witnessed the emotional moment between mother and son.
They were triggered by this scene that they started sympathizing with Danica.
Poor thing. she must be so terrified.
A young mother like her shouldn't have to lose her child like this. Thank God, she found him already.
She would have died of heartache if she hadn't found her child. I can't believe how much she loves the child.
They murmured amongst themselves while stealing glances at the little boy and his mother.
Danica sneakily pulled down the collar of the little boy's shirt when she noticed that the people's attention was all on her.
“What is this? How did you end up with these marks? What happened to you?” Danica pulled the collar a little lower and looked around his neck to see marks like that–they were clear and crystal. it looks very reddish and very bad.
“I was telling you not to go but you wouldn't listen to me after all, now see what your stubbornness gas caused”.
