Judging from the bottles left strewn around the floor, Zachary must have been drinking last night.
"Why is he drinking?" Lulu muttered—it was fine since he was an adult, but what if the smell made Luna uncomfortable?
"Baby…"
She became worried as she remembered her baby and hurried into her room.
There were toys everywhere and decorations such as wind chimes—Zachary had clearly made an effort decorating it!
Still, Lulu frowned and plucked down the wind chimes that rattled occasionally, since it would bother Luna sleeping.
Seemingly sensing her from the cradle, Luna opened her eyes and started to sob.
Lulu's heart felt like it could break at her cry! "It's alright, it's alright… Mommy—no, nanny's here!"
She corrected herself and did not call herself mommy, since Zachary was prudent enough to set up cameras around the room.
She was not going to stay and babysit Luna if he realized that.
She gently picked up Luna, feeling exceedingly intimate as she pressed Luna's soft body against her chest!
"Are you hungry?" she asked, holding the baby with one hand and picking up the baby bottle with the other.
During her training, she had been offered great insight into baby products and knew what was top of the line.
Everything there was exactly that, even the baby bottle!
That was probably about the only way Zachary could care for Luna.
"Baby formula…" Lulu murmured as she returned to the living room, and found the can of baby formula sat in the middle of everything.
There were other cans, but those were used up and empty.
Lulu then handily made the formula while holding Luna with her other hand.
Meanwhile at Zachary's office, there was a monitor on his desk displaying what was going on in his house.
Lulu's hunch was right—Zachary was not careless when it came to his baby, having instant cameras in the living room and in Luna's room.
He was staring at the nanny's face just then, his gaze impassive.
There were dark circles under his eyes—the baby had been crying a fit last night again and only fell asleep around 3 AM!
And since Zachary had a meeting in the morning and had to wake up for it, he basically slept just an hour.
At the moment, he was left wondering if the woman on the screen was just that good a nanny or was Luna's mother.
It took him hours to coax Luna to sleep, while the woman put Luna to deep slumber in no time at all!
He sighed emotionally, realizing that skill mattered as much as kinship!
