“What happened?” Nathan said seriously.
Lucinda proceeded to recount every detail of the day, leaving nothing out.
After hearing her account, he replied gravely, “So you suspect that the nanny might be Valerie?”

“She seems oddly familiar, and her parting words were cryptic. But upon closer reflection, there are significant differences between her and Valerie,” Lucinda explained.
Nathan gently patted her arm, offering comfort in a soothing tone, “Then, don’t dwell on it any longer. Sonny will track her down eventually.”
Lucinda nodded.
After a while, Nathan playfully put his hand on her arm and even teasingly pinched it.
Lucinda turned to him, perplexed.
With a smile, he looked at her expectantly and said in a soft voice, “Honey, it’s been so many days since I held you while sleeping. Can I have you in my arms tonight?”
“What about the babies? Where will they sleep? If we sleep together, perhaps they will accidentally roll off the bed at night.”
Nathan was upset.
Taking care of babies was a real pain.
Trying to keep his frustration in check, he said, “We seriously need to find a nanny as soon as possible and free me from this burden.”
Lucinda couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Nate, it’s time to change their diapers.”
The following day, Sonny began to dig into Hallie’s true identity while Leon set out on the search for a new nanny.
After the events of the previous day, Lucinda made a list of things to look out for.
The nanny had to be middle-aged with ample experience in caring for kids, and most importantly, trustworthy and obedient in nature.
In the afternoon, a surprise visitor showed up.
It was Gordon, a senior executive from the Simmons Group.
Gordon was a dedicated member of the company and often aligned with Lucinda’s decisions during meetings.
This earned her favorable opinion of him.
As Gordon entered her bedroom, he found Lucinda leaning against the headboard, cradling Destinee in her arms.
Whenever Destinee nestled into her mother’s arms, she would remain calm and never cried.
