Chapter 1My Husband Cheated with the Nanny, So I Got a Young Boyfriend Too

I had just given birth to my second child when my husband, Ryan Carter, hired a 24-year-old nanny named Lena to help me out. Lena was young, beautiful, and efficient.

But I never expected my older daughter Stella to say, "I like Aunt Lena. She smells like mommy. Her waist is slimmer than yours, and she's prettier..."

I had just given birth to my second child. My husband, Ryan, was worried about me taking care of two kids alone, so he hired a nanny from an agency.

The nanny's name was Lena, born in 1999. She was young and pretty, and very efficient at her job.

She would always call me "sister" in a very friendly manner. Although I was a bit concerned about having such a young and beautiful girl in our house, after interacting with her, I found Lena to be quite nice, so I let her stay.

Ryan said he chose Lena mainly because she looked young and sensible. He told me that older nannies often became set in their ways, slacking off at work and pocketing money from grocery shopping. So he thought it was better to hire someone inexperienced like Lena.

Firstly, it would save money, and secondly, she would be more agile and efficient.

After Lena had been working for a few days, it was indeed as Ryan said. She didn't try to pocket any money and was quick with her work.

"Here are the receipts for this month's groceries. Please take a look," Lena said, handing me neatly organized receipts. I could clearly see what she bought each day at a glance.

We had hired nannies before, and the previous one would always slack off and inflate the prices of vegetables and fish, but the food she cooked was terrible.

Compared to them, Lena was truly an excellent household staff.

"Lena, I've transferred the money to you. I trust your work," I said without hesitation as I sent her the money.

Two months passed, and I became increasingly satisfied with Lena.

One night when Ryan came home, I discussed with him, "Honey, Lena is very diligent and honest. Why don't we give her a raise?"

Ryan hugged me. He had been working very hard lately and was now too tired to keep his eyes open. "Okay, whatever you say, darling."

Ryan didn't seem interested in the matter of Lena, which actually made me feel quite comfortable. After all, Lena was a young and beautiful nanny, and I hadn't fully regained my figure after giving birth.

I was actually a bit worried that the contrast between Lena and me was too stark, to the point where my husband might take a liking to Lena.

But now, Ryan's reaction put my mind at ease. I became even more satisfied with Lena and gave her a $200 raise the next day.

Lena was extremely grateful and even bought me a lipstick to thank me.

Although the lipstick wasn't expensive, it was still a gesture of goodwill from the young girl.

I appreciated her thoughtfulness and liked Lena even more.

That day, my older daughter Stella came running to me, saying she wanted to sleep with Aunt Lena that night.

I pinched Stella's cheek and asked, "Sweet Stella, why do you want to sleep with Aunt Lena?"

Stella raised her chubby little face and said, "Because Aunt Lena tells Stella stories, and Aunt Lena smells like mommy."

I was amused by Stella's innocent words. I rubbed her head and agreed to her request.

"Lena, you can go to her room and sleep with her tonight," I said with a smile to Lena, who nodded and took Stella's hand to her room.

As Lena passed by me, I caught a whiff of a familiar scent.

But having just given birth, my sense of smell wasn't very sensitive, and I couldn't quite place what the scent was.
