Undeniable Attraction

Chapter 21

SHAYAN'S POV

The next week I decided to ask Kel for a nanny or someone who could stay with Evie during the week. I

dropped her off at Rosie's every day and I felt like I was bothering her since they were preparing for the

wedding. Kel was at the pool area making a phone call and he raised his eyebrows questioningly as he

saw me. I told him I'd wait till the call ends, I was thinking he'd end the call immediately, I ended up

waiting for ten minutes.

"So what do you want to say?" he asks

"I was wondering if I could get a nanny for Evie and maybe get the helps back. "

"Then what are you going to be doing? " he coldly asked

"I'm working Kel. There's no time to clean and cook. "

"Then map out time. I'm paying you after all. I'd see to the nanny."

"Are you his maid?" Evie asked coming out of nowhere

"Evie, you don't chip in when others are talking," I warned

"She's my wife Evie, she has to do these things."

"But she says there's no time. Do you want your wife working all the time? "

"Evie leave us, please. " I begged

"No. Nice tactic West. They resume on Monday. " so he's thinking I planned this?

"Evie what did I tell you? Can you at least listen to me for once?" I asked as soon as Kel left

"He does not like you, why did he marry you then? " she curiously asked

"Who told you he doesn't like me? He's just stressed, it's work. " I said in his defence but she didn't look Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

convinced

"Do you like him? " she asked again

"Evie. " I exclaimed. "You're asking questions I can't answer."

"It's just a yes or no," she said innocently. "You used to tell me everything before."

She sounded like she was going to cry now. " I'm sorry Evie, I'd tell you soon okay. "

I carried her to the room promising her a movie then went to the kitchen to get popcorn and ice cream.

Kel was seated on one of the stools eating chips while doing something on his phone.

"Is that why you brought her here? To cause trouble?" he coldly asked

"No. I brought her here for the reasons I explained earlier. I'm sorry that she's causing trouble. You

don't have to bother about the helps, I'd manage."

"I already told her I'd get them, I'd have to do that," he said and I nodded

I took what I came for and Evie ran in. "I've been waiting for you. The movie is about to start."

"Okay let's go," I said taking the popcorn and ice cream

"Do you want to join us?" she politely asked and he rudely replied saying no and I think it hurt her a bit.

"I don't even want you to. I just asked because mummy said I should be polite and I didn't want you to

feel left out." she angrily said. " I don't like you."

I didn't bother to scold her this time. He should have at least politely declined.

I said nothing and just took her to my room and she positioned herself in front of the TV.

"We're watching Ralph breaks the internet." she clapped her hands excited

"Yeah," I answered and she smiled. " I love you, sweetie," I said hugging her.

"I love you too mummy."

I love it when she says that, it brings a certain joy and smile to my face. I held her as we watched the

movie. Ten minutes into the movie there was a knock on the door. I opened it to find Kel and I was

shocked. Maybe he felt bad for turning her down or he was bored.

He entered before I told him to and Evie smiled when she saw him. She frowned when she saw him

looking at her.

"What are you doing here?" she rudely asked

"I'm here to watch the movie," he responded sitting on the bed.

"Go away. I don't want you to," she said pushing him and he just laughed because he wasn't moving,

not even his hand.

"I'm not going anywhere. I even brought chocolates as a peace offering," he said handing her a box of

chocolates

"Mummy said it's not good to collect bribes," she said smiling and I chuckled.

"This is not a bribe, it's a peace offering. They are two different things," he explained

She looked at me hoping to get permission and I nodded.

"That doesn't mean I like you though," she said accepting it

"Of course," he said smirking

I sat down and we started watching the movie and Kel didn't look as bored as I expected him to be

watching a cartoon. After the movie ended Evie slept and I tucked her in bed leaving just Kel and me.

"She's a lovely child although you've affected her with your attitude," he spoke up after we just sat

awkwardly. I don't even know why he's still here.

"It's not bad. She's an angel to people that she feels deserve a warm attitude." I replied.

"In other words my attitude is bad?" he asked raising his eyebrows

Bad? That's an understatement

"Obviously. Evie noticed it the minute she saw you. You know she even asked why we're married." I

divulge and he chuckled

"She's smart and cute," he said and I nodded. " I know right."

He looked at me and I felt like he wanted to say or do something but decided against it and stood up. "

Good night West."

"Goodnight Adrios."

This was the first time we talked a bit, were we improving, did I want improvement?
