Congratulations Husband on Marrying the Maternity Nurse
Chapter 4
The police came to a conclusion, and Chloe was on the verge of breaking down.
Because real eyeshadow and lipstick wouldn't dissolve in water instantly.
When I saw her cosmetics had turned into a muddy mess, I knew immediately that they were all fake.
Moreover, she couldn't provide any purchase receipts, only claiming that a previous client had gifted them to her.
As for my cosmetics, since I used them for clients, everything was purchased from authorized counters, with receipts and codes all intact.
Now Chloe not only didn't make any money but also had to compensate her.
She finally swallowed her pride and lowered her head.
She explained that she couldn't have children but loved kids, which was why she had worked as a nurse.
She couldn't afford the compensation and begged me to let her off.
I was burning with fever, my head pounding to the point of near collapse.
Just as my mother-in-law arrived, under the police's mediation, we had Chloe write an IOU. The company would act as a guarantor, and she'd pay back the money in installments.
I rode in a patrol car to the hospital, telling my husband and mother-in-law to keep a close watch on the child.
Although my mother-in-law was simple and honest, her childcare skills were almost non-existent.
She couldn't even mix baby formula properly or dilute hot water with cold, and if left alone at home, there was no telling whether the baby would be suffering from diarrhea by the time I returned.
But surely, she wouldn't harm her grandson.
I still believed too much in human nature.
When I came home after getting my IV drip, I thought my eyes were deceiving me.
Chloe was holding my son, chatting and laughing with my husband and mother-in-law as they had dinner together.
When they saw me return, Declan came up to explain, saying that as soon as I left, the baby started crying.
It was Chloe who managed to calm him down.
He said, "You're just too sensitive. Chloe is good at taking care of the baby."
Her mouth full of food, my mother-in-law echoed his words.
She said, "Exactly, and Chloe is from my hometown. I believe she's a good person."
The two of them stared at me as if I were the bad person.
It was fine.
I waved the IOU Chloe had written for me.
I said, "You make more than 20 thousand dollars a month. You should be able to pay me back in two or three months."
Declan panicked, suggesting that Chloe could take care of the baby as compensation for the debt.
Even my mother-in-law said they had already discussed it, and besides, my cosmetics weren't worth that much.
They were used anyway. No one would want them if thrown away.
I sneered. They'd done the math quite well.
The only one left to suffer was me.
I said, "You earn 26 thousand dollars a month. That's one thousand a day. If I don't get my money every day, you can get out of my house."
