Chapter 15 Finley’s Offerl
The man was tall and slender, with features as handsome and distinct as those of a sculpture. His captivating eyes were full of shimmering waves of light, and his brows were imbued with an aura of mischievous wickedness.
“Efrain, you were naughty again,” the man’s voice was deep and magnetic, very pleasant to listen
- to.
However, the little boy, whose name was Efrain Burnett, trembled slightly and shrank into Stella’s arms.
Seeing it, Stella stood in front of him and asked, “Excuse me, but who are you to the boy?” The man seemed to have just noticed Stella, his heroic–looking eyebrows lifted slightly
“Who am I? I am his father.”
Stella looked at him suspiciously and asked, “Are you sure?”
The man’s thin lips outlined a casual, alluring curve.
“How about you calling the police to come and investigate?”
“Okay.” Stella took out her phone and was about to call the police.
Efrain, who was beside her, tugged gently at her sleeve. “No need to call the police. He… He is my
dad.”
Stella glanced first at him, then at the handsome man before her, and felt that there was something strange in the atmosphere between father and son.
But as Efrain had already confessed that the man was his father, she had little more to say. She whispered to him, “Since your father is here, you can go back with him.”
Efrain, however, suddenly said, “I don’t want to go back with him!”
Stella speculated that he might have had a quarrel with his family, which was why he ran away from home.
Just as she was about to persuade him, she heard the man’s lazy voice.
“Since you don’t want to go back, then I’ll satisfy you.”
Stella and Carina were both stunned and turned to look at the man.
The man spoke in a low and deep voice, “My name is Finley Burnett. I am Efrain’s father.” Stella looked at him without replying. She didn’t know what he wanted to do.

Finley continued, “It’s rare to see Efrain like someone so much. So, I would like to ask you to look after him occasionally during his rest time. I will pay you 15 thousand dollars per month, and all expenses relating to Efrain will be fully reimbursed. What do you think?”
Carina couldn’t help but take a glance at Finley.
15 thousand dollars a month and the only work was to take care of Efrain during his rest time. What was more, all expenses could be reimbursed… What an excellent offer!
Carina even wished she could get the job.
After all, for an ordinary employee like her,5,000 dollars a month was already quite good, let alone 15 thousand dollars.
Finley’s dress, behavior, and demeanor showed that he was a capitalist, a man of absolute wealth. Stella instinctively refused, saying, “I’m sorry, I can’t…”
Finley interrupted her, “30 thousand dollars.”
“Mr. Burnett, it isn’t a matter of money…”
“75 thousand dollars.”
Stella was a little helpless.“Mr. Burnett, it really isn’t about the money…”
“150 thousand dollars.”
Stella shut her mouth.
She had to admit that there really was no problem that money could not solve.
Although she married Ethan and had seen the luxury of rich people, her monthly expenses were not considered high.
Moreover, she did not like luxury items such as bags and jewelry. She usually stayed home to take care of Joel, so she basically didn’t spend money.
She had never thought of using Ethan’s card to withdraw cash or anything like that.
Over the years, she didn’t even spend 15 thousand dollars on herself.
Ethan had frozen her card. Since she was going to set up a studio with Brenden, she needed a considerable amount of startup capital.
She couldn’t let Brenden pay alone. She needed to provide some money as well. With this in mind, Stella asked, “Mr. Burnett, what do I need to do?”

Finley smiled contentedly and said, “I’m usually very busy with work and don’t have much time to accompany Efrain. You…”
His voice paused, and he asked, “What is your name?”
“Stella Sutton.”
“Ms. Sutton, your work is very simple. If Efrain lives with you, you will need to take him to school and fetch him home. Also, you need to provide him with meals. During his rest time, you only need to spend time with him.”
Finley’s voice was low and lazy as he added, “Of course, if you want to take him to the amusement park, summer camp, or any other place for a trip, it’s fine. It’s up to you to make arrangements. These expenses will be reimbursed separately for you.”
Carina’s eyes turned red with envy.
Wasn’t that a paid vacation? How great!
Stella’s eyes flickered as she asked, “Is… Is he going to stay at my place?*
Finley raised his eyebrows and looked at her.“What’s wrong? Do you want to stay at my place? I don’t mind. But, Ms. Sutton, you are young. I’m afraid your husband or boyfriend might misunderstand.”
If Finley had not brought this aspect up, she would have overlooked it.
She and Finley looked like they were only a few years apart. Moving in with Finley suddenly would indeed easily invite gossip.
Also, Finley’s wife may not be happy to see her husband living with other women all day. Stella thought for a moment before asking another question.
“Does Efrain’s mother also agree?”
Finley fell silent for a few seconds and said, “His mother has passed away.”
Stella quickly apologized, “I’m sorry.”
Finley didn’t mind and said, “It doesn’t matter. It’s been many years.”
Stella lowered her head. There was a hint of pity as she looked at Efrain.
She nodded and asked, “Mr. Burnett, aren’t you afraid I’ll abuse him after I take him back?” Finley’s voice was deep, carrying an unparalleled arrogance and dominance.

“He is my son. Who dares to mistreat him?”
签到得市
That sounded right. One could tell at a glance that Finley was no ordinary man. Who would dare to mistreat his son? Wasn’t that asking for death?
Moreover, given he could rest assured and let her bring Efrain back home, he would certainly send someone to secretly monitor her.
Although the salary offered by Finley was tempting, it was not that easy to earn.
As she wouldn’t do anything wrong, she was not afraid of Finley’s surveillance.
Stella asked, “When do I start work?”
Finley glanced at the time.“You can start now. I am going on a temporary business trip later and will probably be back at the weekend. During this period, you can take care of Efrain first.”
“Ms. Sutton, do you have any more questions? If not, I will leave now.”
Stella looked down at Efrain, who was not very talkative.“There is another question. I can see that Efrain is not in good health. Are there any dietary restrictions or specific areas that need attention in daily life?”
Finley raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, “Do you also know anything about medicine?”
“I studied traditional medicine for a few years and have some understanding of children’s health issues.”
Stella paused for a moment and then continued, “I don’t know Efrain very well yet. Mr. Burnett, can you ask the person who usually takes care of him to give me a document with his daily preferences?*
Finley’s eyes darkened a little, and his formerly casual expression faded. His gaze on Stella became deep and profound, and seemed different from what it had been before.
Stella was startled by his gaze and instinctively asked, “Mr. Burnett, did I say anything wrong?”
