Chapter 63: Lounging at the Rooftop Pool
Leslie and Calix met one of the two private nurses once they returned to Graceville Manor, Mrs. Su. The other one was Mrs. An. The two professionals took turns taking care of Leslie – Charlene’s body.
Calix invited Mrs. Su to his home office. He wanted to clarify what the private nurses could and couldn’t do in this house. At least, these new arrangements would allow Leslie to be in peace.
"Mrs. Su, you and Mrs. An don’t have to take night shifts. You may come in the morning and stay until the evening. Night onwards, I’ll take the responsibility of caring for my wife. Oh, you don’t have to come in the weekend too."
Mrs. Su intently listened to the young man sitting opposite her. She and her colleague had been given reminders by their manager before coming to Graceville Manor.
Even though their employer right now was Old Madam Xu, they still needed to take Young Master Xu’s orders. After all, they were taking care of his wife within their home compound.
"How about when you’re away, Young Master Xu? As in, business trips?" asked Mrs. Su, trying to be transparent with the requirements.
"If it’s an overnight or a long trip, I’ll notify you," Calix subtly glanced at Leslie sitting next to him, "Most probably, you and Mrs. An need to stay the night during that period."
There was no leeway for this part. If Calix refused to change the arrangement when he was away for days, people would assume that he didn’t care for his newly wedded wife.
Leslie understood that Calix was doing all he could to avoid such things happening in the future. Old Madam Xu would certainly receive regular reports about her granddaughter-in-law’s condition.
"You may go now, Mrs. Su," Calix glanced at the clock. The needles were pointing to ten-thirty in the morning, "I’m going to stay home all day so, you can go home at noon."
Mrs. Su was bewildered, "But, Young Master Xu... I can’t leave that early. I should clock out at six at the very least."
