Twins - The Unforeseen Legacy of My Ex's Uncle-in-Law novel Chapter 36

Spending all her time on him, what about her two kids? And what about next month's rent?

Their rent was due quarterly, and with this month coming to an end, payment time was looming.

Originally, Drusilla had come to take care of Enoch, thinking the Taylor family's generous compensation would cover her rent worries. But family issues led her to waive the fee.

She needed to find another way.

Seeing her concern, Enoch, with a magnanimous air, said, "All this talk, you're just after money, right? If you play nice, make grandpa and the rest of the family happy, I'll pay you. And it’ll be more than you'd make elsewhere."

"Oh, really?" Drusilla responded quickly, her eyes lighting up at the prospect of money.

Enoch was taken aback. He had expected her to coldly refuse, but her eager acceptance threw him off. Maybe she was trying to trick him.

But it was just money, and he had plenty to spare.

"I'll give you twenty thousand a month," he declared.

"Twenty thousand?" Drusilla's eyes widened in disbelief.

Enoch scoffed, "Don't get greedy now. Twenty thousand is generous."

Drusilla didn't find it low at all; she was just surprised by Enoch's generosity. To play along as his wife for his family and earn twenty thousand a month? It seemed like a dream. She had tried all sorts of jobs to support her kids, even interviewing for high-paying tech jobs that demanded all her time – time she didn't have because of her children.

Then she became an acupuncturist, which paid decently under a good boss, barely making ends meet.

But she had never imagined joining the ranks of those making twenty thousand a month.

Despite her reluctance the previous day, Drusilla hadn't anticipated Enoch actively asking for her help now!

Approaching him, she helped with his pants, recalling their argument from the day before. "Weren't you upset yesterday?"

"I've thought it over, and you might have had a point," Enoch replied, his tone a mix of sarcasm and sincerity.

Before she could respond, he added, "From now on, you'll handle this."

"Dressing you? Sure, as long as there's extra pay. I'm here to serve."

Enoch's face darkened at her words. "Shameless."

Her willingness to do anything confirmed his suspicions: she was far from a proper lady.
