Chapter 117: You are the best

When Maxim remained quiet, Diana thought that he was going to disagree so she added, "Please please please don’t say no! If you want, I can do your household work,’’ When she thought about having to leave Angel with some unreliable stranger before going for a job, chills ran down her spine and she was even motivated to massage Maxim’s shoulders or legs to convince him at that point, ’’I can cook for you...’’

’’I can do it too,’’ he interrupted her.

And Diana realized that he did not need Ivy to cook for him.

’’I can clean for you...’’ Diana grabbed his palm, eyes sparkling as she said, ’’I will do anything! Just agree, please~"

’’Anything?" Maxim raised a brow.

Diana nodded her head eagerly but her face turned black when Maxim closed Angel’s ears. What was it that he wanted from her exactly? She glared at him.

Maxim dropped his shield from Angel’s ears as he rolled his eyes at her, ’’Doesn’t seem like you will do anything.’’

’’Nothing illegal,’’ Diana whispered doubtfully.

Maxim’s eyes roamed over her face before his gaze trailed down to her neck, collarbone, down and down till her thighs. After doing a slow once-over, he whispered back, ’’I am confident that you are an adult. It won’t be illegal,’’ the corner of his lips tugged up as he added, ’’At. All.’’

Diana’s face flushed. She patted her cheek with one hand as she pointed her trembling finger at him with the other, ’’What are you talking about?" she gasped.

’’I was just saying that you should work more diligently at the hospital,’’ Maxim blinked, ’’What did you think?"

’’You of course did not mean...’’ just that... Diana trailed off when she realized something, ’’So you agree to my request?"

’’What do you think?" he asked.

Diana’s face broke into a huge smile.

Without giving it a second thought, she cupped Angel’s face and planted a kiss on her cheek. And after that, she did not stop. She kissed the next cheek in vision.

Maxim’s.

Leaving him sitting there wide-eyed with the child on her lap, she placed a second kiss on his other cheek, ’’You are the best,’’ she mumbled against his skin.

Both of them froze.

Diana recovered her senses first. She was just being grateful. Following their customs.

Nothing strange at all.

Ivy, who was the subject of discussion felt like she was interrupting something. Hmm, nothing out of normal happened though. She could not help but think.

’’You don’t need to worry at all,’’ Diana waved her hands, ’’I will take care of Ivy. I will treat her well and feed her well.’’

Ivy who was sitting behind them felt weirder. No matter how she heard it, why did she feel like she was an unwanted chicken who was being sold off?

She sat there frozen when Diana turned around and flashed a wide smile at her, ’’Will you please come to me?"

Ivy was speechless again. Suddenly, Diana was starting to resemble Angel who acted cute when she wanted something, ’’Of course, I don’t mind,’’ she did not mind being the unwanted chicken being sold off forcefully. Her current farmer was too cold and boring anyway.

Ivy was of course bitter when she woke up to the news that Diana was moving out. She had not realized it during the time how attached she had become to Angel and Diana during this time.

So, the invitation to join these cuties was a blast of happiness on her face. She was not being ungrateful to her Boss but she did not, totally did not mind being sold off like a useless chicken.

"Of course, I am going to pay you handsomely as well," Diana said in such a self-righteous tone that you would think someone doubted her morals and she was proving her point here, "How much does he pay you?" she asked, shifting her attention to Ivy.

Ivy hesitated for a moment before she raised 3 fingers but under Maxim’s pressing gaze, she tucked a finger down, showing her 2 fingers.

Diana nodded in understanding. She might have hesitated at the amount before but her Tifanny diamonds could let her live a long time in peace even if she did not work but she knew that she could not be idle at home.

In case her parents found her before Daisy and they could not take her forcefully, then they will manipulate this case into court. She was not Angel’s mother and that would be used against her to the full extent. She could not let them have another advantage by staying unemployed. No one in their right mind would hand a child to an unemployed person. She was relieved that she was gotten rid of that issue already.

"$2k then?" Diana looked at Ivy as she blinked. Honestly... it seemed like Ivy was giving her a discount. She felt touched, "You know I will pay you double once I hit rich. You guys just need to wait for the time," she wiped an imaginary tear as she turned to look at Maxim.

Since Diana had turned around, she did not notice the look of disbelief on Ivy’s face as she glanced at her misunderstood two fingers, "Not two thousand..." she shut her mouth when Maxim shot her a warning look.

"Hmm?"

"Nothing. I was saying that I can’t wait for you to hit rich then," Ivy coughed into her fist, clutching her bleeding heart. But still, with the gain being with Little Angel and Diana, she did not feel like she was getting the shorter end of the stick. Her previous farmer would pay her anyway.

Ivy left after saying that she needed to do the packing.

Since Diana had decided to move over during the weekend during her day off, Ivy needed to come over too. Luckily, they decided on the place on Saturday.

Then, they should be able to move their things before Monday.

After Ivy left, Maxim and Diana were left in each other’s company, of course with Angel who was trailing drool down Maxim’s neck while sucking his shirt.
