Elissa understood it was a financial decision.

She needed assistance but couldn’t justify doubling the maid’s salary since she just required a maid, not a full-time nurse.

She nodded in acceptance and said, “Alright, I’ll settle your salary for the past few days.”

The maid quickly dismissed the offer, saying, “No, that won’t be necessary!”

She lowered her head, feeling a twinge of guilt because her new employer was actually Elissa’s neighbor.

Eventually, Elissa gave the maid some cash for looking after Brantley all night.

The maid accepted the money.

She wavered for a moment and then said, “Mrs.

Jones, you’re really kind, but…” She didn’t finish what she was saying and turned to gather her things.

Once the maid was gone, Brantley quickly consumed his food and then asked with concern, “You let the maid go.

Who is going to help you and the baby from now on?”

Elissa picked up a piece of meat and placed it in his plate.

She then responded, “Don’t bother about that.

I’ll find myself another maid!”

Brantley pondered a bit and then said, “I can take the school bus by myself.

One of my classmates mentioned there’s a bus stop nearby, so you don’t need to bother with driving me to school every day.”

Although it was a good thing for a boy to have a sense of independence, Elissa believed that Brantley was still too young to go out on his own.

Besides, he didn’t have a strong personality, so she was a bit apprehensive.

After thinking it over, she said, “I’ll walk you to the bus stop for the next few days.

Concerning the maid, I’ll call the agency and tell them to find me a trustworthy person immediately.”

Brantley nodded eagerly when he heard this.

He ate a lot of food not because he was particularly hungry but because he wanted to grow up fast and take care of Elissa and her baby.

Elissa seemed to understand what he was thinking.

She patted his head and said, “Eating this much food all at once will not make you grow faster but will only make you overweight!”

Hearing this, Brantley turned red with embarrassment.

Elissa patted his head affectionately.

After their meal, Elissa was tidying up the table while Brantley offered to take out the trash.

He had just recovered from being sick, so Elissa was hesitant at first.

But he insisted, saying he felt fine, so she reluctantly agreed and told him to come back quickly.

Shortly after, Brantley returned.

But his face looked a bit gloomy.

Elissa finished washing the dishes and then prepared a plate of fruit for Brantley.

Sitting across from him, she inquired, “What’s wrong?”

Brantley pouted with a blushed face.

After a moment, he told her why he was upset.
