My mystery lover

Chapter 213 I Keep My Job

Richard took Allen out of the swim ring and held him in his arms. He had never taken care of a child

like Allen, so Richard was extremely careful, trying hard not to hurt him.

"Come on, Allen. I will hold your belly. Remember to move your arms and kick your legs in the water,

just like what you saw on the TV. Take your time." Richard said. He was fond of Allen at first sight.

Allen's black eyes were shining like diamonds in the water, so pure and sweet.

"Alright." Allen did it with his imagined posture as Richard described.

"Good job!" Allen seemed glad of Richard's praises, and he learned it quickly.

When Amy came out of the bathroom, she saw people standing beside the kiddie pool. She hurriedly

walked over and saw Allen swimming. The person who taught Allen to swim was Richard.

'Why is he here? Stalking me?' Amy was a little unhappy. She jumped into the water and swam over.

"Richard, why are you here?" Amy hugged her son and asked Richard.

"Miss Newell, it was my responsibility to arrange your trip. As your assistant, I'm supposed to be here."

Richard offered a reasonable explanation.

"Mom, he is a nice coach. I can paddle now!" Allen put in a good word for Richard. It was not good to

see his mother being too mean.

Amy was listening to her son while looking around. It seemed like Allen had attracted everyone's

attention. Kevin was here too, but he didn't swim. He was one of the interested people.

"Alright, I'll give you a task. You must teach Allen how to swim until he can swim on his own. If not, you

won't bother coming to work next Monday." Amy needed an excuse to dismiss Richard.

"Okay, but you can't meddle in my teaching. If you did and Allen failed to learn swimming, it's on you."

Richard had confidence in Allen. He knew that Amy wanted to find an excuse to get rid of him. He

would not let that happen.

"Deal! Let's go." Amy walked away with Hannah and Hilary. She could have a good time with two girls

since Richard helped looking after Allen.

"Come on, Allen. If you can't learn it, I will lose my job. My family is counting on me to make money."

Richard said pitifully to Allen.

Allen touched Richard's face with his chubby hand and said. "I'll do my best, Richard. Don't worry. If

you lose your job, I can give you money." Allen's words made Richard want to sob.

Allen's features were defined, but Richard couldn't tell who he looked like. It was not a good idea to ask

too many questions. Allen was a smart child.

In order not to have Richard lose his job, Allen learned hard. With his talent and Richard's teaching,

Allen could finally swim a little bit.

"Mom, I can swim!" With Richard's help, Allen could swim towards Amy.

Allen swam in front of Amy to prove that he could swim. However, he became fatigued very soon. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

"Miss Newell, I've completed my task. I won't lose my job, right?" Richard's face was filled with triumph.

Richard and Allen smiled at each other.

Even though Allen needed more practice, Amy was content with her son's effort. She could not dismiss

Richard this time.

But Richard wouldn't be so lucky next time. Ways to fire him were plenty. Amy wasn't worried at all.

"Well done. You can come to work next Monday."

They felt tired after swimming, and the barbecue was ready.

Amy didn't order a barbecue. She thought they would have had Chinese food today.

"The resort owner said the barbecue was for free. Our consumption has reached a certain level, so we

can get an extra bonfire party tonight." Richard said.

Richard looked at Kevin, and Kevin nodded at Amy.

"It is so kind of him," Amy said to Richard.

"It's nothing." Kevin hurriedly said. Kevin owned the resort.

Amy looked at Kevin strangely. Kevin immediately realized that he almost gave away a secret.

"We pay, so he serves. It's fair enough." Richard said to Amy.

Hannah and Hilary did not know that the resort belonged to Kevin, nor did they know what they were

talking about. They only wanted to help Richard chase after his wife.

They sat around and enjoyed their barbecue cooking. There were also performances of folk dance on

the stage. They ate barbecue, drank beer, and watched wonderful performances. All of them had a

good time.

Allen ate a few kabobs, which he never had before. 'What a nice day!' Allen thought.

"Richard, let me help you." Allen and Richard hit it off. Allen liked to be with Richard. They were even

closer than Allen to Amy.

"Thank you, Allen! Could you help me sprinkle seasoning?" Richard picked Allen up.

Allen did it seriously.

When the meat was done, Richard cooled it down and gave it to Allen. Allen ate the one with

seasoning on it. It smelled good.

"Allen, don't eat too much meat. It's not good for digesting." Amy was a little worried about her son.

"It's fine. He must be exhausted by swimming. I'll take him for a walk when he is done. Don't worry."

Richard didn't think that was a big deal.

"One more!" As Amy was about to lose her temper, Richard hurriedly compromised. A mother always

knew her child better than others. Richard could not take care of a child from a bachelor's point of view.

Amy was satisfied with what Richard had done, so she stopped glaring at him. Richard was clever. If it

wasn't for what happened that day, he would be a good assistant.

"Miss Newell, please help yourself. They are tasty, with not too much fat. I put a lot of chili peppers on

it, and I'm sure you'll love it." Richard roasted a plate of meat and brought it over to Amy.
