After the divorce, I started to transfer

Chapter 1900 The Tacit Understanding of the Three Women

Children speak without restraint. The little girl's words caused a moment of silence, which was followed by a burst of laughter.

Molly smiled and said, "It seems you really like this older brother. However, he already has a girlfriend, so it might be a bit troublesome if you want him to be your new father."

Brina laughed and said, "My little darling, do you really want a new father that badly?"

The little girl said seriously, "Of course, I really want a new father. My biological father passed away when I was very young, and I don't remember him at all. I can only see his picture in a photo frame. Also, all my classmates have fathers, but I don't, so I'm very envious and I want one too."

Although young, her language skills were quite clear, and her reasons were very convincing. Rachel, as the mother, was laughing along with everyone else, but she looked somewhat embarrassed.

After all, Chen Feng was Brina's "boyfriend." Although her daughter was known for her outspokenness, she was afraid that Brina might be unhappy about it. After all, her well-paying job was introduced to her by her cousin Brina, and she didn't want to offend Brina.

Rachel, not wanting her daughter to go too far, quickly interjected, "Alright, Nicole. Your biological father has only been gone for a little over a year. I don't want to rush into finding you a new father. What if he treats us badly? And this handsome guy already has a girlfriend. He can't be your father, so don't overthink it."

After hearing her mother's words, little Nicole looked disappointed and sighed softly, acting like a little adult, which made everyone laugh.

Rachel then changed the subject, talking about some interesting things that happened when she was a police officer and a fitness instructor. The atmosphere was quite pleasant. But just then, everyone heard the gate to the yard open, followed by the sound of a car driving in.

Everyone immediately knew that Luna must have come home from get off work. Sure enough, a short while later, Luna walked in from outside and greeted everyone present warmly.

Seeing everyone staring at her, including strangers, Luna quickly regained her composure after a slight moment of awkwardness and smiled at Chen Feng, saying, "Honey, I'm a little late getting back, but I haven't eaten yet. I'd like to eat with you, is that alright?"

What she said was pointless. Given her current relationship with Chen Feng, would he really stop her from eating?
Furthermore, she completely ignored everyone else present, including Brina, Molly, and the stranger Rachel, as well as the little girl Nicole. She acted as if they didn't exist.

"Okay, let's eat together then," Chen Feng replied casually, without saying anything more. He knew, of course, that Luna had asked that question on purpose, somewhat to provoke Brina and Molly.

As soon as Luna returned, the atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became somewhat strained. Luna didn't say much; she first washed her hands, then sat down next to Chen Feng and started eating together.

Rachel was somewhat bewildered by the situation. But she could also tell that her cousin Brina and the newly arrived Latina beauty Luna were not getting along.

Considering the ambiguous relationship between Chen Feng and Molly, Rachel became even more certain. Her impression of Chen Feng, this wealthy man, became even clearer: without a doubt, he was a top-tier playboy.

Unfortunately, her younger cousin seemed infatuated with him. There must be some financial reason involved, but she felt that her cousin wasn't that shallow and couldn't possibly be following this wealthy Eastern man solely because of money.

In Rachel's opinion, one of the other more specific reasons was that Chen Feng was very handsome, dashing, and had an outstanding temperament.

As for other reasons, Rachel couldn't think of any right now and would have to ask Brinna herself when the opportunity came.

Therefore, Rachel wisely chose to remain silent and did not take the initiative to talk to Luna.

However, her youngest daughter, Nicole, didn't understand the adult world. Seeing that Luna was pretty, she took the initiative to greet her, saying, "Hi, pretty sister, my name is Nicole. What's your name? Do you live here too?"

Nicole was clearly a rather outgoing girl, not shy at all. Luna was slightly taken aback when Nicole greeted her, but then smiled and said, "Hello, cutie, my name is Luna, it's nice to meet you. Are you here as a guest?"

Nicole said, "No, my mom said I'll be living here with her from now on. The house is big and beautiful, I love it. You'll be living here too, right?"

Luna glanced at Rachel, then smiled and nodded, "Yes, I live here too. We'll be neighbors from now on. You're so cute, I think we'll become good friends."

“That’s great! I’d love to be your friend too. That way we can play together.” Nicole replied happily.

Seeing this, Rachel could no longer remain silent. She smiled and nodded to Luna, saying, "Hello, Luna, my name is Rachel. I'm a security guard that Mr. Chen Feng just hired. My daughter and I will be living here from now on. Please take care of us."

“Okay, Rachel. It’s nice to meet you too. I think you’ll make a good security guard.” Luna then turned to Chen Feng and asked, “Honey, have you hired a security guard and a nanny today?”

“Yes,” Chen Feng explained, “All the positions are filled, two security guards and two live-in nannies. Your former colleague Eliza, after being persuaded by Brina and Molly, I also agreed to let her live here with her child. She’s over in the nanny’s room, you can go see her later.”

"Huh? They're all full?" Luna was surprised; she hadn't expected Chen Feng to be so efficient.

Luna was naturally surprised that Brina and Molly had agreed to let Eliza and her child stay there. But by nature, she didn't want to owe them a favor; after all, Eliza was just a former colleague. To be honest, their relationship wasn't that deep. Luna simply felt sorry for the single mother, and also, out of personal motives, wanted someone she could keep close by.

"Yes, all positions are filled. Besides Rachel, there's her former colleague Sandra. These are the two security guards I hired; they used to be police officers, but they're doing this for us, which is a bit of a compromise. There's also a live-in nanny, Mrs. Mercer. She's in her fifties and still very healthy. She's an elderly woman living alone; her daughter married and moved to Canada, and her husband passed away last year. She's been a live-in nanny for many years, so she's quite experienced in this field, and she's also a very good cook."

Chen Feng paused for a moment before continuing, "From now on, Mrs. Mercer will be in charge of Molly and Brinna's daily needs, and Eliza will be in charge of yours. Get along well with her." Hearing Chen Feng's detailed explanation, Luna immediately understood. This Rachel was likely connected to Brinna or Molly, and Rachel's former colleague naturally belonged to that faction.

She had already made up her mind, but she nodded obediently and said, "Okay, I understand."

So everyone continued eating, but the lively and harmonious atmosphere of before was clearly gone, and no one said much more during the meal.

Chen Feng ate the fastest, finishing in about ten minutes. Next up were Rachel and her daughter. After hearing Chen Feng's words, Rachel understood everything. She was even more certain of Chen Feng's womanizing ways. Brina, Molly, and this suddenly appearing Latina beauty were all Chen Feng's women, and all of them were living in this luxurious villa.

Rachel didn't know how to complain. She had sensed the tension during the meal, so she thought it would be better to stay away for a while. She quickly finished her meal and left with her daughter.

After finishing his meal, Chen Feng only sat for a short while, seemingly unaware of the unspoken tension between the three women. He simply said, "I'm going upstairs to rest," and then got up and left.

Suddenly, only three women remained in the restaurant: Brina, Molly, and Luna. At first, the three continued eating in silence, none of them speaking. After this atmosphere lasted for over a minute, Luna spoke first, directly asking Brina, "What's your relationship with this Rachel? You're the one who introduced her, right?"

Brina hadn't expected Luna to see through her immediately. She had initially considered deliberately concealing the truth or lying, but upon reflection, she felt it was unnecessary. Wouldn't deliberately concealing the truth be tantamount to being afraid of the other person? So she simply and frankly admitted, "She's a distant cousin of mine. She's a single mother now, and she used to be a fitness instructor and a police officer."

“That’s good too.” Luna said with an approving tone. “She looks quite strong, so she would definitely be a good security guard. I imagine her former colleague was the same.”

Brina pursed her lips slightly, a little dissatisfied with the tone of her comment, but still said, "Of course, they used to be frontline patrol officers, and they've shot and killed people."

These words were clearly meant to scare her. Luna instinctively shrank back, somewhat frightened. Her father had brought the family to the United States as illegal immigrants. Therefore, her family had an innate fear of the police, especially a policeman who had killed someone.

After she realized what was happening, she understood that Brina was deliberately trying to scare her, and she felt a surge of annoyance. Brina and Molly had both noticed her timid demeanor, and both couldn't help but smile.

This made Luna even more dissatisfied, but she couldn't show it, so she could only blush and lower her head to eat. Brina and Molly didn't press their advantage either; after all, if they really started arguing, and the other party went to Chen Feng to complain, they would be the ones who suffered.

By this time, Brina's hostility towards Luna had lessened considerably, for a simple reason: Chen Feng's trust. Chen Feng had even entrusted her with managing his real estate in America. This level of trust was clearly unmatched by someone like Luna.

Therefore, there was no need for her to show any anger towards Luna; it wasn't worth it. In her view, Luna was just a plaything, and once Chen Feng's novelty wore off, he would probably kick her aside.

She and Chen Feng were truly family, since Chen Feng had entrusted her with managing the business here. There was absolutely no need for her to be jealous of this young model, much less have a verbal altercation. Their positions in Chen Feng's heart were inherently different.

Having received repeated warnings from Chen Feng, Molly clearly wouldn't dare to deliberately cause any conflict with Luna. Otherwise, if Chen Feng broke up with her, her plan to use a sperm donor and her plan to cultivate a family heir would be impossible to implement, and the cost would be too high, making it a losing proposition.

As for Luna, she dared not provoke these two women with powerful backgrounds. Often, she was merely bluffing, putting on a brave face, simply to avoid being looked down upon. For now, with everyone at peace, it was best to stop while things remained calm.

Each of the three women had their own concerns, and they all tacitly chose to remain silent, finishing their meal in silence before leaving separately. Brina went to find her cousin Rachel, Molly went upstairs to find Chen Feng, and Luna, of course, went straight to find her former colleague Eliza.

Upon arriving at the nanny's room, Eliza and her son had just finished dinner. As soon as she saw Luna, Eliza rushed forward and hugged her gratefully, saying, "Thank you, dear. Without you, I might have really had to sleep on the streets with my son, because we were almost unable to afford the rent there."

Luna asked in surprise, "Is it that serious? Don't you work three jobs a day?"

Eliza said helplessly, "I've been working two jobs for a long time. Ever since I lost that babysitting job, I haven't been able to find anything like it. You know, I have to take my son with me, and some employers don't agree to that. I can't leave my son alone in the apartment; the environment there is terrible, with all sorts of bad people. So, with the income from both jobs, plus our daily expenses, it's naturally not enough to cover next month's rent."

"It's okay, it's all in the past," Luna comforted her. "Now that you've found this job, you won't have to suffer anymore. My boyfriend is a generous person; as long as you work hard, he won't mistreat you. How much does he pay you each month?"

“$6000 is really generous. He said he would pay me $8000 once I passed my probation period. This is a salary I never dreamed of, it’s really high. So I will definitely work hard in the future. Now my son is with me, I have such a good living environment, and free food and accommodation. I feel like I’m dreaming. All of this is thanks to you, Luna, my angel. I don’t know how to thank you.”

Seeing Eliza's grateful expression, Luna felt very pleased. She nodded with a touch of reserve and said, "Eliza, I've always admired you. It's really not easy for you to raise a child alone and work so many jobs. I couldn't help you before, but now that I have a little bit of ability, I immediately thought of you. You're a good person. Just working hard here will be the best way to repay me."

"Luna, don't worry, I will definitely work hard." Eliza said solemnly, then nodded and bowed slightly to Luna in a servant's manner.

Her statement greatly pleased Luna. Although they had been colleagues before, their positions were now different. If Eliza didn't know her place, Luna certainly wouldn't have liked it. But Eliza immediately recognized her place and treated her with utmost respect, which gave Luna immense psychological satisfaction.

Luna did not reject her former colleague's respectful attitude. She took the opportunity to adopt the demeanor of a hostess and nodded, saying, "I believe in your work ability. I will try my best to help you pass the probation period. When you get $8000 a month, you can get rid of your previous life at the bottom and allow your children to receive a better education so that they can become successful in the future."

Eliza's previously cloudy eyes suddenly brightened, and she nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes, you're right, Luna. I will definitely raise my son well; he will surely become a rich man, a great person!" (End of Chapter)
