That night, Florence hurriedly leaves with Nelson. Strangely, they escape successfully this time without any hindrance. Florence is a little sad. Perhaps Su family is busy with marriage and Brian has no time to take care of her and Nelson. Maybe she is not important anymore … No, she has never been important to him. Florence laughs at herself and doesn’t want to make certain. Now she just wants to take Nelson away from them, look after Nelson well and live the life she wants. The work welfare introduced by her classmates before is good, which allows them to have a place to stay in. She is desperate, so decidedly she goes to that villa, accepts this “special” work of nanny, and settles down securely.
“Mommy, is this our new home?” Nelson looks at the large, empty villa with curiosity. “Baby, this is the house we will shack up in, not ours yet, so be careful, don’t touch those valuable things…” “Oh, I know, mommy. This is the house we rent!” Florence warmly embraces Nelson and explains to him patiently. While talking, she feels very sad. What she wants is to make her child full of happiness, but now they are drifting around. Fortunately, Nelson is a sensible child so that she does not lose hope in life. Now, although life is a little uptight, Florence feels that there is a trace of happiness in such a life. After all, her baby is now by her side, and Nelson is now all she has.
During the day, she is busy cleaning the entire villa and Nelson often comes to help sensibly. At night, after cleaning, she embraces Nelson and they lie on the couch to watch TV shows or cartoons … Such a life, she did not dare to expect before. But when it is time for news, she always turns off the TV and plays games with Nelson, who is very sensible and does not persist on watching TV. The result of Brian and Antonia’s marriage is certain, and she has decided to withdraw, so she does not want to hear any news about them. But there is a more terrible fact that she can’t ignore, which is, when she thinks of their marriage, she still feels sad and heartbroken faintly. “Do I still miss him? No, I’m just a bit nostalgic…” she defends herself in his heart. In this way, she avoids the news outside while living with Nelson in peace.
Without being noticed, two months have passed. The heartache is almost numb, and Florence finally calms down and suddenly remembers something. The owner of this villa has never appeared or called back since she and Nelson moved in, which is quite strange. Suspicion appears in her heart, so Florence immediately calls her classmate: “Hey, may I ask when the owner of this villa will return? How long can I do this job.” “… Florence, Emm, you can live without worry, I don’t know this, either …” “Isn’t he one of your clients?” But the other side equivocates over and over again, making her feel stranger and stranger. Suddenly, a terrible thought comes into her mind.
Is the owner of this villa Brian? She is hiding from them, but she is always in his sight … That is too terrible. “Hehe …” Florence’s expression changes, but there is an ironic smile on her face. “You are about to get married, and do you still want to control me?” She doesn’t want this kind of monitoring, compassion, or sympathy. She just needs to stay away from him and take her child to live a quiet, happy life. Looking at Nelson, who is happily reading the anime book in front of her, there is a flicker of happiness in her eyes, which reveals a trace of determination. “Nelson, we should go.” Florence sits down, stroking his little head with one hand. “Mommy, are we going to move again?” Nelson looks at his mother without any rebellion. “Yes.” Florence nods tenderly. They immediately pack up, and there are few things to bring, just some clothes.
Without leaving a farewell note, without a trace of nostalgia, Florence takes Nelson away from the villa quietly and goes straight to the airport by taxi. She must completely avoid his surveillance, and she must stay away from him, disconnecting any link with him. Because she has Nelson, and she can’t bear any more harm. After entering the airport, she is about to leave, but unfortunately, she meets another unexpected person, Baron. “Florence, how are you doing recently?” Baron greets her with a smile on his face. He is standing at the airport with a slight smile on his face. He notices Florence as soon as she enters the airport. Obviously, he is waiting for her deliberately. When Florence sees him, she is stunned for a moment, and then her face turns cold.
In the past two months, she thought a lot and made clear the inside story of some things. Although Brian manipulates everything, from the perspective of the paparazzi swooping in to force the marriage in Su family, there was obviously one person behind them. That is Baron. Antonia was brought by him, and the reporters then came and a marriage was compelled, one after the other, compact and organized … Everyone acted as a puppet actor, and Baron was the director behind the scenes. It is him who arranged what happened in Su family. Thinking about this, Florence is deeply afraid of Baron, feeling that he is even more sinister than Brian.
“Uncle, why are you here too!” Nelson is still young and can’t see the change of relationship between adults. He greets enthusiastically at Baron. “Nelson …” The childish sound awakens Florence, who is caught in reverie. She gives Baron a cold look, then immediately ignores his presence, takes Nelson’s little hand and passes him, as if she never knows him, continuing to walk towards the interior of the airport. Baron sees Florence’s frosty face, turning to look at her back, and couldn’t help smiling bitterly. For this result, he has already predicted it before, but when he actually faces it, he is a little embarrassed and panicked. He wanted to deal with Brian, but it really hurts Florence. “Mommy, Mommy!” Nelson turns back frequently, calling Florence anxiously. Florence ignores him, pulls him and walks forward without looking back. This child and Baron have stayed together too long before, she must find a way to keep Nelson away from Baron.
