" I don't." I admittedly regretted saying those words. I felt his body tense against my arms and saw the look of despair in his eyes. Just two simple words were enough to break him.

Suddenly I understood why his scent screamed ' protect me'. It wasn't because he was in grave danger and I needed to protect him from the threat. But because I needed to protect him from myself.

I was the one who caused his body to tense and I was the reason he looked devastated. The only person who was hurting him was me. As I realized that I felt horrible, a dark pit seemed to form in my stomach. That was the first time I had felt anything other than butterflies was when I was near him.

But what was he expecting from me? He broke into my mansion, resembled my wife, and admittedly managed to make my son love him. Looking at everything he has done it makes sense to logically say he has hidden possibly bad intentions. But logic didn't seem to matter when my heart insisted that I could trust him.

" Then let go." Tae finally said. I unwrapped my hands from him feeling like a piece of me is being taken away. I found myself wanting to hold him and hating being even an inch away from him.

" Sit down." I told him. Tae seemed to deeply think about his decision before sitting down next to me. I noted how nervous he became after sitting next to me. His scent became more intoxicating and his face was a light shade of red.

I didn't know how to start a conversation with him. Of course I wanted to tell him how frustrated he made me. How I hated everything about him but not really, because I can't bring myself to hate him. But I couldn't say that.

"Liam missed you a lot. " I stated and Tae smiled a hopeless smile. " I miss him too."

"Did you miss me?" I almost laughed at the question. Of course I missed him, I couldn't get him out of my mind. Instead of replying, I just stared at him. There was a moment of silence before Tae said " I see. "

I quickly realized not replying was a horrible idea, because he got the wrong idea. I could tell because he gulped and his eyes again had this faraway look. I couldn't stand it.

" How much do you make from this job ?" I asked.

"What does that have to do with anything ?"

" I want you to be Liam's nanny." Tae's lips parted and his eyebrows drew up. He looked deep in thought about it. Soon, his eyes screwed up in a kind sad way while the rest of his face remained calm.

" Does that mean I'll have to take care of him until you're around or ?" Tae questioned. My thoughts admittedly responded ' No, just care for him the way a mother would.'

I shook my head at the thought. Tae would never come close to even being a parent figure for Liam.

"Anytime he wants you to. So you'll probably be with us 24/7." That made his Lips stretch into a frown.

" Do you mean like a mother wou-"

"No, absolutely not." I yelled, causing him to flinch. I just didn't want to hear him ask such a ridiculous question. There was no way he could ever even come close to being like Liam's mother. The question was absurd and made my body tense.

" Um.. How much ?"

"How about 100, 000 per month ?" Tae looked surprised to hear such a number, but he shook his head no. Did he hate the idea of having to be around me that much? God did he really hate me that much?

I literally felt so bad for almost not updating. Thankfully I still had 30 minutes before it became midnight. So here is a late update, an update none the less.
