Intrigued, Tammy asked the nanny, "About what? Me?"
"Kind of!" The nanny stuttered. "Mainly about having kids... It's actually not related to you..."
"If they were talking about kids, how am I not related?" Tammy scowled. A bad feeling rose within her. "What exactly did they say?"
Troubled, the nanny said, "Tammy, you are definitely going to get mad if I tell you, so it's better that I don't!"
"If you won't tell me, I'm going to ask Jun about it!"
"Don't! I'll tell you!" The nanny dragged her back by the arm and said, "Your in-laws want to get another woman to bear Jun's children. Don't get angry just yet. You and Jun have been all jumpy and frustrated over having kids, so it’s not really that bad to get another woman to suffer through pregnancy for you. You will still be Mrs. Hertz, and Jun won't blame you for going out to social gatherings anymore . '
Tammy felt as though she had been struck by lightning, and her expression instantly darkened. She pushed the nanny's hand away and said, "Great! Don't tell them that I've come back!"
She was so furious that she had forgotten her purse on the couch when she left.
At noon, Jun set aside his pride and tried calling her, but Tammy did not take the call.
At four in the afternoon, he called her again, and still, she did not answer. He was still a little frustrated, but he started panicking when he could not reach her.
He ended work ahead of time and drove toward the Lynch's mansion.
Mrs. Lynch was at home and invited him inside enthusiastically.
"Jun, please forgive Tammy for going to social gatherings so frequently lately. Her dad has been placing a lot of pressure on her."
"I'm not angry. Mother. It's good that she wants to work on her career."
Mrs. Lynch was relieved. "I knew I was right about you. Apart from me and her dad, you are the one who loves her most in the world."
Mother, Tammy won't pick up my calls.
That's why I came here looking for her."
