LittleNovelChapter 276 Contract Signing Hearing Mrs. Simpson's words, I couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. My mind raced as I tried to cup with an explanation that would makeseem less gullible.
"Judith..." I hesitated, trying to find the right words.
Ever since yesterday, Judith had insisted that I stop calling her Mrs. Simpson.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe waved her hand dismissively. "I know, I know. You young people are always willing to believe in all sorts of things. I completely understand." Seeing that she had smoothly covered for me, I decided not to explain further. Instead, I just let out an awkward laugh and let the matter drop.
Judith turned to Zeke with a stern look. "Zeke, aren't you going to apologize? How could you trick someone like that?" Zeke pouted, looking reluctant, but he still obediently muttered, "I'm sorry..." I quickly waved my hands. "It's fine, really! Kids always have these wild imaginations. It was actually kind of fun." Hearing that, Zeke's eyes instantly lit up.
He then turned toward Mr. Simpson and Judith. "I like Ms. Brown! Can she play with me?" Hearing this, Mr. Simpson picked Zeke up and shook his head. "Ms. Brown has her own work to do. She can't always play with you." Zeke's excitement dimmed instantly, his head dropping in disappointment. Feeling a little guilty, I hesitated before saying, "I can take you out this Saturday." After all, I usually just rested at hon weekends. Spending stwith a kid didn't seem like a big deal. Though... I wasn't sure how Eric would feel about it. Just as that thought appeared in my head, I quickly shook my head and tossed it out of my mind.
Mr. Simpson looked at me, genuinely surprised. "Are you sure? You're okay spending a whole day with him?" I nodded. "It should be fine." The next second, Zeke threw his hands up excitedly, completely overjoyed. He grabbed my hand excitedly and asked, "I want to go to the amusement park! Can we go there?" His bright, hopeful eyes stared at me, making it nearly impossible to refuse. I sighed, relenting with a nod. "Alright, we can go." For sreason, as Zeke cheered, I swore I saw a trace of sympathy flickering in Mr. Simpson's and Judith's eyes.
After setting the plans for Saturday's trip to the amusement park, Judith took the reluctant Zeke upstairs for his nap.
I took out the prepared contract and placed it in front of Mr. Simpson.
Finally, we were getting down to business.
"Mr. Simpson, this contract has been adjusted according to your requests. Please review it and letknow if anything needs further revision. If everything looks good, we can sign it today." up

With a flourish, he signed his nand handed it back to me. I stared at him, stunned. "Mr. Simpson, aren't you going to read it?" Mr. Simpson shook his head, looking completely at ease. "What's there to read? I'd just be wasting time. I trust you."
Then, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, he whispered, "Besides, you're willing to babysit Zeke for a whole day. At this point, you're practically a saint to us." "Huh?" I blinked, feeling a little confused.
Sure, Zeke was energetic, maybe even a little too smart for his age, but watching over him for one day didn't seem that difficult.
I figured Mr. Simpson and Judith were just getting older and probably didn't have the energy to keep up with him anymore.
So, I patted my chest confidently. "Don't worry, Mr. Simpson. I've got it all covered on Saturday."
Hearing this, Mr. Simpson looked atfor a long moment. There not just appreciationsmith ihere yvps his expression but also a flicker of admiration.
