Eager Nanny, Reluctant Wife
Chapter 23

Chapter 23 

Josephine asked, “What?” 

Ragnar told Josephine. “Although it’s a contract marriage, you are my wife after all. If you fall and become even more disabled, don’t you think it will only trouble me by taking care of you? So, be good, okay?” 

Josephine was speechless. 

She stared at the man with her eyes wide open. 

After spending more than a month together, Josephine knew that this man was cold, indifferent, and vicious. He had the characteristics of a calculating businessman. 

The previous contradictions in particular made Josephine realize they were not from the same class at all! 

Ragnar was high and mighty. 

Josephine just needed to stay away from him. 

That was why she tried to avoid him and stay away from him. 

But now, Ragnar suddenly said those words, saying Josephine was his wife and wanted to take care of her. He even asked her to be good. 

It was as if there had been no contradiction between them. 

It seemed that Ragnar was no longer high and mighty. He was an ordinary person, just like her. 

Josephine was carried back to her room by Ragnar and put on the bed. 

He said, “Don’t run around with your injured leg. Lie down and have a good rest. If Danny and Manny don’t cry, you don’t have to go to their room tonight.” 

After saying this, Ragnar looked at Josephine deeply. He added, “I misunderstood you before. I also promised you that I would not doubt you anymore. So, when are you going to stop the silent treatment with me?” 

Josephine lowered her eyes. 

She whispered, “It’s not a silent treatment.” 

Ragnar asked, “What is it, then?” 

Josephine remained silent. 

Ragnar suddenly went closer to her and said, “Speak!” 

Josephine was startled. 

She suddenly raised her head when Ragnar leaned close to her. Their cheeks were a few inches away, and their breaths mingled. 

Josephine answered, “I–I just think you and I are not from the same world, Mr. Levine. We should keep a distance!” 

Ragnar asked, “How far of a distance?” 

He looked into Josephine’s eyes deeply and said, “Don’t forget that our contract requires you to be my wife for three years! I’m not just looking for a nanny who looks after the baby. I also wanted you to form a family with me as my wife so that my children would not lose the motherly love that other children should have! They can grow up in a happy and healthy family atmosphere.” 

Josephine remained silent,

She thought, “I knew all that clearly when the agreement was signed. But…” 

Ragnar’s thin lips smiled. 

Josephine was stunned by looking at his handsome face and smile. 

Ragnar stood up straight. He looked down at Josephine and asked, “How about you tell me how to be my wife when you are too far away from me? And how can I make the children think you are their favorite mother?” 

Josephine was silent for a while. 

Then, she looked at the man and replied. “The children are only a few months old and don’t know much about this.” 

Ragnar asked suspiciously, “Really? Do they really don’t understand? Why do I feel that even newborn babies can feel the atmosphere of family and 

whether parents are in love?” 

Josephine fell into silence. She thought, “That’s how it’s supposed to be. But…” 

Ragnar had always left no room for her to argue back. 

He told Josephine, “Stop your silent treatment of me! If you don’t agree to quit your other job, I won’t ask you anymore. You can have your freedom. However, as my wife, although we are in a secret marriage without anyone knowing, I don’t want my wife to cuckold me!” 

Ragnar’s words were a reminder and a warning. 

After saying that, Ragnar continued to tell Josephine, “The children are still young, so you still have time to adapt to your identity as my wife. During this period, in addition to adapting, you should think about how you can play the role of my wife and mother of my children in the future.” 

Ragnar left after reminding Josephine. 

Josephine thought, “The children are still young and easy to fool. However, what if the children grew older, if they were one year old or even two years old? By that time…” 

She suddenly felt a little worried! 

Josephine thought, “What was the difference between playing the role of a wife of an unfamiliar person and those who applied for fake boyfriends and fake girlfriends to fool their parents?” 

Those who played fake boyfriends and girlfriends in dramas or short videos she had watched had to show off their affection in front of their families. 

They even had to kiss and live in the same room! 

Josephine thought, “What about Ragnar and I? When the children grow up day after day, don’t tell me that we should also…” 

Josephine shook her head. 

She comforted herself, saying, “Don’t worry! It won’t happen.” 

Neither Josephine nor Ragnar could accept those intimate behaviors. 

Even when the children grew up, all Josephine had to do was be gentle to her husband and love the children. She and Ragnar only needed to show the illusion of a married couple who were in love. 

Besides, the children were only four months old now. It was still early for her to adapt to the situation! 

Meanwhile, after Ragnar came out of Josephine’s room, he called Adam, who had helped Josephine move. For now, he was Josephine’s bodyguard, who was specifically responsible for protecting her. Ragnar asked, “What happened to her leg?” 

Adam immediately answered, “A few days ago, Ms. Yeager and her colleague Liliana got off work together and were stopped by a gang. I’ve investigated 

it, It’s Valeria who instructed them.”

Chapter 23 

Wed, 5 

When Josephine and Liliana were stopped by the man with the purplish–red–haired man that day, Adam saw them not far away. 

Initially, he wanted to come forward to help, but seeing that Liliana could cope with it, he did not show up. 

After all, Josephine had asked Adam to try not to appear in front of her family and friends. She did not want her life to be disrupted. 

Ragnar frowned and asked, “Valeria?” 

He did not remember who Valeria was 

At that moment, Adam said, “Valeria and Ms. Yeager are enemies! Valeria used to steal and slander Ms. Yeager’s design manuscripts. She also used her family’s power to drive Ms. Yeager out of the design industry and steal Ms. Yeager’s boyfriend. Moreover, Ms. Yeager’s had a conflict with Valeria in the training company before, and then she beat Charles, which may be retaliation.” 

Only then did Ragnar remember. 

He asked, “What is the relationship between Valeria and the Lambert family?” 

Adam had already checked it. 

He reported, “Valeria’s father is an upstart who has made a fortune in the past ten years. Their family is a distant relative of the influential Lambert family in Sloummont.” 

“Okay,” replied Ragnar. 

He always had a personality of being fiercely protective of someone close him. 

“They need to pay for it after hitting my woman.” 

Ragnar looked at Adam and continued, “You help me handle this matter.” 

Adam replied, “Yes.” 

Although Adam was only the Levine family’s bodyguard, it was enough for him to handle this matter. As long as he showed the Levine family’s identity. he could teach Valeria a lesson easily. 

The next day, something went wrong with the jewelry design company of Valeria’s father. 

A batch of raw stone got stuck at the harbor. 

The company that had the intention to cooperate suddenly gave up the cooperation. 

He was clueless as to why those companies that had already cooperated with him suddenly proposed to cancel the cooperation. 

There were also problems with the supplier. 

Moreover, several jewelry stores were suddenly seized. 

It was more than that, Valeria was also in trouble.
