Suddenly a Nanny!?
Eps. 53 Past (8) Last

"I'm so tired today, will you accompany me here?" Arden.

"of course, sir, I will accompany you whenever you need" said Merlin. At that time the door that was still half open showed Blair who was looking at his mother.

Merlin saw Blair. Instantly he smiled at Blair and attached his lipped index finger.

"St...." Merlin tells Blair to close the door and get out of there. Blair could only obey his mother's orders.

Merlin took Arden to bed and they spent the night.

...****************...

The sun is beginning to show its light. Arden was still asleep beside Merlin.

"Ohh... It turns out that my dear is still not awake... Olivia I'm sorry it looks like your father won't come to pick you up" muttered Merlin with his sly smile.

However, someone came knocking on Arden's room door.

GECK... GECK...

"Huh? Who's that knocking on Arden's door in the morning?" Merlin Mumbled. He got out of bed and approached the door.

"This is me sir!" Said Arden's assistant named Devon.

Is this Mr Devon's voice? He must have reminded Arden of his schedule! I have to prevent it! Inner Merlin.

Merlin held onto his neck and a black ray of light emerged from his hand.

"What are you here for?" Said Merlin whose voice instantly changed like Arden.

"Now you'll have to pick up Miss Olivia, sir" Devon said.

"Hm... Uhuk! Uhuk! I don't seem to feel well enough, Devon. Can you please come in my place?"

"You sick? Do I need to call a doctor?"

"Ah.. No need, if I rest for a while I start to improve! Please tell Olivia I'm sorry I couldn't pick her up..."

"Well sir, I'll be ready soon to pick up Miss Olivia"

"Thank you Devon!"

Merlin heard from behind the door the sound of Devon's footsteps starting to move away.

"Eong... Merlin?" Rintih Arden's.

Merlin turned towards him and approached Arden who was still covered.

"Yes, sir, what's wrong?" Merlin said softly. His voice returned to how it was.

"I thought you left me"

"Of course not sir, but I feel bad for you" said Merlin.

"What did you say? Why isn't it good for me?" Arden said as he hugged Merlin beside him. His eyes were heavy to open.

"Ah... That's because where there's a maid here was in your room all night. What if someone misunderstands?" Merlin.

"Ohh... So that's what you worry about... Then be my wife! That way nothing will bother or misunderstand us" Arden said. Merlin smiled widely and held Arden's face.

"really sir? I'm so glad to hear it!"

"I'm going to tell Olivia, she needs a mother like you... Oh no! Olivia!? I-I have to pick her up... Uhh!" Arden just realized his daughter. When he woke up from his sleep, his head hurt.

"What's up, sir?"

"My head hurts so much!"

"Then ask someone else to pick up Miss Olivia. If you push yourself, it could be very dangerous!"

"But it's too late, I haven't told Devon-"

"Ah, you seem to have forgotten, you just woke up and asked Mr. Devon to pick up Miss Olivia" said Merlin.

"Be--really? I don't remember" said Arden, trying to remember.

"Maybe because you're too tired, just tell him, I heard it myself sir"

"Uhh... All right, I'll rest in a minute" said Arden.

"Yes sir..."

...****************...

A little girl was waiting for someone on the stairs. He looked to the right and to the left but no one came.

"Olivia, just wait inside. Your father must have picked you up" said Olivia's aunt, Alice.

"Aunt Alice? It's okay, I'll just wait here" Olivia insisted.

"Yourf..." Alice could only sigh. How long has Olivia been waiting outside.

"Mr Devon? What are you doing here?" Alice asked Devon who had just arrived at night.

"I was given the order to pick up Miss Olivia by Mr. Arden" he explained.

Alice was silent for a moment. "Isn't Arden going to pick up Olivia? He even waited outside until night!" Said Alice a little annoyed.

"I'm sorry Miss Alice, but Mr. Arden is not feeling well"

"How could he say that? Olivia is sleeping. Come back tomorrow morning"

"Neither Miss Alice"

They both went back to their rooms. But without realizing Olivia heard their conversation. It made him feel sad.

The next morning, Olivia is preparing to go home with Devon. He could understand his sick father.

"Ughh! Aunt Alice where the hell is it? I was about to leave!" Grouse Olivia.

After a few minutes, Alice came with a large bag in her hand.

"Auntie? Why so long?!"

"Sorry baby, auntie just packed up"

"What's? Where's aunt going?"

"Of course aunt's coming with you there"

"Wahh! Really am! Yeayy"

"Auntie will drop you off and it'll probably be a week there"

They boarded the horse-drawn carriage that Devon had brought back to Arden's house.

...****************...

"yes... Da... Aunt wants to meet a friend first"

Olivia got out of the car and into the house. Alice still meets a friend who works at Arden's house.

"Hi Ria!" greet Alice.

"Alice, long time no see!" Said Ria.

"You've been looking pretty lately" Tempted Alice.

"Haha... You could be! Ohiya, you know how Mr Arden is getting married again?"

"What's? How do you know that?"

"I heard from the other workers, some of them saw the woman. She said it was so pretty!"

...****************...

Olivia was running down the corridor. From a distance he saw his father standing by the door.

"Dad!"

Arden turned his head and smiled to see that his daughter had returned. But Olivia's steps again stopped when she saw a beautiful woman and a boy in front of her.

"Olivia! I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up"

"Ah is okay dad. But who are they?" Ask Olivia.

"Well, Olivia's father is going to marry this woman. Tomorrow the day after tomorrow is our wedding" Arden said.

"Right sweetheart, you can also call me mother from now on" said Merlin smiling.

"I am your brother, my name is Blair" said Blair, who was next to his mother.

Olivia just smiled and nodded in acceptance of the father's decision to remarry.

Alice who also went inside after hearing from her friend. He saw Olivia still dumbfounded to see Merlin and Blair.

...****************...

"What are you doing? Marry again when not long ago your wife left you?! Huh!?" Alice told Arden in her study.

"Not so Alice, I still feel sad. But I have to think about Olivia, she definitely needs a surrogate mother figure to accompany her" Arden explained.

"All right, if that's what you want. But there's one thing you should do too!"

"What's that?"

"Let me stay here"

"Well, I don't mind at all" Arden said.

...****************...

The wedding session went well even though there were also strange-minded people on them.

Damn, why did that woman suddenly live here? My plan will be hampered because of him! He also has his own home! If I had any power here I would have kicked him out of this house! Inner Merlin.

"Why see me like that?" Alice said when they were outside the house.

"Ah.. Not Alice. Excuse me first" said Merlin. He left Alice there.

That woman is very suspicious. Inner Alice.

It's been almost two years of their marriage. There were no signs of movement from Merlin as many people were watching him.

One day, Merlin felt unwell to the point that his body almost fell down. It was fortunate that Arden swiftly restrained Merlin's body.

"What's the matter, baby!?" Arden.

"I'm a little dizzy" said Merlin.

"Then I'll call a healer for you"

Arden took Merlin to the room while waiting for the healer to arrive. After the healer came he started checking on Merlin's condition.

"What month has this mistress come to the moon?" ask healer.

"Eum.. I don't think there is yet"

"That's not wrong anymore, you're pregnant. Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Chase" said the healer.

"Well, really?" Said Arden very pleased.

Alice who was there saw a different look on Merlin's face from Arden's. He showed more of his surprised face.

Goddamnit! Why should I get pregnant with Arden's child? It will be harder to set up the next strategy! Ish! Inner Merlin.

"Happy Merlin, I'm so happy. But why doesn't your face show pleasure?" Said Alice.

Arden saw his wife's face again. "Ayeah, don't you like it baby?" Ask Arden.

"Huh? Of course not dear, I-I'm so happy... I just thought we had Blair and Olivia, I'm afraid there's a lot of things to deal with... " Said Merlin.

"No need to worry about that, baby, you just need to think about our son, huh?" Arden.

Merlin simply nodded and smiled slightly.

All of them and their contents disappeared like dust in the wind.

Mira who saw Merlin's past from beginning to end was stunned when everything had vanished.

"Is it over? But this isn't all!" Strangled Mira to herself.

He was back in an endless white place. He is walking aimlessly now.

"I see now, in this matter Olivia needs me. It must have been very hard for him to face all this. Moreover, the people he cared about were slowly gone because of Merlin's mistake...."

"Not only Merlin, Austin the king was also deeply involved in the matter. Merlin was actually also an ordinary girl who was very good, but because Austin started first, Merlin became like that..."

"But why did Stella die in the original story? Is Merlin also the mastermind of all this? Or is there someone else? Hm... I have to get back! They must be holding-gu... Aaaaah!!"

The place disappeared so slowly that Mira fell down from there. His body was still floating at high speed.

"Huf... Why did I fall all the time..." Mumbles Mira.

This time he just went where he was going to be taken. Will he come back or see someone's past?
