Finley withdrew his gaze. “No, I just didn’t expect you to care so much about Efrain.”
Stella smiled slightly and said, “Mr. Burnett, you offer a salary of 150 thousand dollars. Anyone who gets the job will be attentive.”
Carina echoed on the side, “That’s right. Mr. Burnett, even if you give me 15 thousand dollars, I will try my best to treat Efrain well, let alone 150 thousand dollars.”
Finley smiled lightly, and his beautiful eyes became even more enchanting.
“Okay. Ms. Sutton, I will have someone send you all the information about Efrain later.”
He looked at Efrain and said, “Before leaving, I want to tell Efrain a few words.”
Stella said considerately, “I’ll go downstairs to wait for Efrain.”
With that, she left the ward with Carina. Thoughtfully, she closed the door behind them.
After Stella left, Finley raised his eyebrows and asked, “Are you sure you want her?”
Efrain changed his previous listless appearance and said, “Yes, I want her to be
my
mother.”
Finley pondered, stroking his chin.“If you wanted any other woman to be your mother, it would be easy. Even if she has a husband and children, I have enough money to handle her family and make her agree. But this woman is Ethan’s wife… It won’t be that easy for me to help you fulfill
your wish.”
Efrain said stubbornly, “I don’t care. I just want her to be my mother!”
Finley chuckled, “Your wish comes at the right time. If it were half a year ago, it would be highly unlikely for you to have her as your mother. But now, the possibility is quite high.”
“What Ethan has done for his unforgettable crush has already been well–known in the past six months. Surprisingly, the father and son share the same taste. Even Stella’s son particularly likes Kaylyn.”
Finley looked down at Efrain.“Now, Stella has moved out to live alone. During this time, you need to seize opportunities. I have already created the conditions for you. Whether you can succeed or not, it’s up to you.”
On Efrain’s face, there was no trace of the innocence and ignorance of a child.
He nodded heavily and said, “I will try my best to snatch her away!”

Finley patted his head and smiled lightly, “Well done. If you like something, you should take the initiative to fight for it. Even if it requires some means. By the way, you haven’t told me what you actually like about her.”
Not long ago, Efrain was transferred to a kindergarten.
A few days later, he started to say that he was fond of a woman and wanted her to be his mother.
At his words, Finley initially assumed it was a scheming woman who had deliberately approached Efrain.
After some investigation, he discovered that the woman was actually Ethan’s wife.
She seemed to be a full–time housewife and rarely appeared in the public eye.
Not even a photo of her was available online.
It was known that Ethan had a secret marriage, but they did not know who his wife was.
Recently, a lot of news about Ethan and another woman had been buzzing.
Many people speculated that Ethan’s secret wife was Kaylyn.
Efrain said, “I observed her for a few days and noticed that she looked at her son with an extremely gentle gaze. Other mothers don’t have that kind of gaze… I feel like that’s how a mother should be.”
The night grew darker, and it was late when Carina took Stella back to the flat.
Efrain was already asleep in the back seat.
After the car was stopped, Carina looked at Stella, who was holding Efrain carefully.
“Ella, are you determined to take care of Efrain? Although his father offered a high price, but… I feel that his father is not someone easy to get along with. If anything happens to Efrain, he will definitely not let you off easily.”
Stella replied flatly, “I know.”
Then why did you take the offer?”
After calming herself down from Finley’s money offensive, Carina became worried about many
aspects.
If Efrain remained safe and healthy, nothing bad would happen. However, if anything happened to him, wouldn’t Stella be in big trouble?
Stella let out a sigh and said, “Carina, to be honest, I actually wanted to find something to do for myself.”
Carina was puzzled. “What do you mean?”

Stella said mockingly, “Well, I suddenly have a lot of free time, and I am a bit not used to it. I need to find something to do, and I also need money.”

She paused for a moment and then said, “Ethan has frozen my card. Although I still have some savings, I want to set up a studio with Brenden, and I need a lot of money.”
Carina couldn’t help but curse, “Ethan! What a shameless man! How could he freeze your card? You have sacrificed so much for your family over the years and he has not even bought you a bouquet. He has spent more money on fireworks for Kaylyn than he has on you!”
Stella said, “I can earn money if I take care of other people’s children, but my reward for taking care of Ethan and Joel is that my card gets frozen.”
Carina was not married yet. She began to dread marriage after she learned what kind of life Stella was leading after it.
She thought, “Stella has married into a rich family, where she has no money worries.”
“If I am not that lucky and marry into an ordinary family, I may have to earn money, do housework, as well as take care of children.”
“The most terrifying thing is that I even have to endure the blame from my husband and son.”
Just as Carina was spacing out, Stella’s voice came again.
“Only when a woman is financially independent can she truly become tough and have enough confidence..Otherwise… Even her own son will despise her.”
Indeed, this was the truth.
Carina nodded and said, “Recently, I happened to be unemployed and stayed at home. If you need any help, feel free to call me anytime.”
“Carina, thank you.”
Carina waved her hand casually.“You are my friend. Don’t be polite with me.”
After bidding farewell to Carina, Stella took Efrain home.
***
The next morning, Stella took Efrain to school.
When she went downstairs, she saw a black luxury car waiting at the door. It attracted a lot of
attention.
Seeing them coming downstairs, the driver walked quickly over and introduced himself with a respectful expression on his face.
“Ms. Sutton, nice to meet you. My name is Adan Howell. I’m Mr. Efrain’s driver, specifically responsible for driving him to and back from school. You can call me Adan.”
Stella was not in the least surprised to see him on her doorstep.

She smiled and said, “Adan, thank you for being here.”
Adan opened the car door for Stella and Efrain.“Ms. Sutton, you are too polite.”
About twenty minutes later, Stella became aware that the road on which Adan was driving seemed somewhat familiar.
It was very much like the road going to the kindergarten where Joel attended.
Stella couldn’t help but ask, “Adan, which kindergarten does Efrain attend now?”
Efrain had just moved to Seattle not long ago. In the information sent to her by Finley yesterday, there was no mention of which kindergarten he attended.
Adan smiled and said, “He attends Imperium Kindergarten not far away.”
Stella’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
Joel also attended that kindergarten.
Imperium Kindergarten was the best kindergarten in Seattle.
The children who could attend this kindergarten had to come from either wealthy or prestigious families. Their families must have had extremely deep backgrounds.
If one’s family was merely rich or powerful, he or she couldn’t even enter this kindergarten. Though Stella had guessed that Finley was no ordinary man, she had not expected him to be so powerful.
Stella personally took Efrain to the entrance of the kindergarten and subconsciously said, “If there’s anything, don’t forget to call me. Get on well with the other kids. I’ll come pick you up after school.”
Efrain nodded and entered the kindergarten, seeming reluctant to say goodbye.
Stella was momentarily lost in thought.
When Joel first started kindergarten, he was just as reluctant to part as Efrain.
Joel, however, no longer responded obediently to her instructions, but started to become filled with impatience from a time unknown to her.
Just then, there came an astonished exclamation from behind.
“Ms. Sutton, are you here to see Joel?”
Stella turned her head and was surprised to see Joel, Kaylyn, and … Ethan standing not far away.
