My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy) novel Chapter 81

The man took out the contract that he had prepared long ago and asked Amy to read and sign.

On the contract, the man specified that he was going to be abroad for five years, and Amy would take care of his apartment while he was away. He didn't specify how exactly she should take care of his apartment, but he would transfer a monthly reward of 5,000 to Amy's account on the 15th of every month.

Today was really Amy's lucky day. She just found a job with a monthly salary of 10,000, and now she not only found an apartment which she could rent for free, but she could also get money for taking care of it.

Amy felt that all of this happened so suddenly, but as everything happened naturally, she did not find anything suspicious in it.

Amy read the contract and did not see anything wrong about it. The man in black even showed his flight ticket to Amy. He was really leaving the day after tomorrow, and Amy believed him even more.

After signing the contract, a relieved smile appeared on the man's face.

"Ms. Miller, you really helped me a lot. I'll give you 5,000 now. I'm really grateful. If I can't find someone before I leave, it will be a huge pity. Something happened to my family, so I'm in a hurry to leave." The man took out 5,000 and gave it to Amy.

Amy accepted the money. Since that was the reward specified in the contract she just signed, she had no reason to turn the money down. She knew the owner of the apartment would also feel relieved after she accepted the reward.

The man gave the keys to Amy. He also told her how to water his plants and where everything was in his apartment. He told her everything in detail, so Amy was more reassured that it was really lucky for her to be able to find the apartment today.

While the man in black felt relieved since he successfully finished his task. Otherwise, he would be scolded by madam.

After the man left, Amy inspected the apartment once again. She cleaned up the rooms in which and her father and she would be living. The apartment was already quite clean before she cleaned it. It meant that the owner cherished his apartment very much, so it also made more sense for him to pay someone to take care of his apartment.

There were four bedrooms and two studies upstairs, and the apartment was completely furnished.

The best thing was that the quilts and quilt covers in the apartment also looked new.

There were even a computer and many books in both studies. Amy went through the books casually and found that many of them were books she liked. And there were also some books for translators there.

Amy took a look and found these books were all very practical. She wondered if the owner of the apartment was also a foreign language learner. She was sure that he must be proficient in foreign languages, since his family were all abroad. The books he had left were also helpful to her.

Before Amy knew it, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon. Only then did Amy realize that time had passed so quickly. She had told Robin that she would be back soon when she left. She did not expect that she would be out for so long.

Amy glanced at the apartment again and locked the door.

Since she had solved a few important problems today, Amy felt very relaxed. After she left the JL Community, she just took a taxi and went back.

Her guess was right. Robin had been waiting for her for a long time when she went back. He wasn't worried about her safety or anything. Amy was a good girl. He was just afraid that Amy might go impulsive and hurt herself.

"Mrs. Carter, welcome back. Hurry up and come in. We've cooked a lot of dishes you like for you today!" Richard had told Robin to cook whatever Amy liked for her and money was not a problem.

"Robin, don't call me Mrs. Carter. I don't think I will be Mrs. Carter for long." Amy had taken a step, but she suddenly turned around and said to Robin.

Robin felt embarrassed since he wondered too. Richard was indeed nice to Amy now, but who could promise nothing would change in the future? Robin knew Richard always cared for Allison in his heart.

Robin calculated how long Amy would remain married in his head, and he suddenly felt sad as he realized that the contract would become void in only a year and a few months. Amy would leave and Allison might become the new Mrs. Carter. Robin did not know what to do if that really happened.

"Mrs. Car..." Robin called out to Amy.

"Robin, don't call me Mrs. Carter. That's so embarrassing. Just call me Amy. That's also how my father calls me. You're just like my family. I want you to call me Amy." Amy smiled and said to Robin.

Robin had no choice but to change the way he addressed Amy. He also felt that Amy might not be Mrs. Carter for a long time.

"Amy, just tell me what you like to eat. You can see me as your father, since your father is not here. I also treat you as my family too." Robin's daughter was about the same age as Amy, so he felt that Amy was just like his daughter when he saw her.

"Okay, that sounds much better. Robin, I will tell you what I like later." Amy felt much more at ease now. The title of Mrs. Carter both sounded and felt weird.

"Richard, could you come to our place? Allison hasn't eaten anything for a few days. She's already like a skeleton. She forbids me to tell you about it, but I can't bear it anymore. She's my daughter!" Allison's mother, Tracy Irving, sobbed and called Richard.

After Richard got the call, he hurried to the Field's. The Carter family and the Field family were both old and well-known families, and they had been friends for many years.

If something bad really happened to Allison, that would be a disgrace to both families.

"Mom, is Richard coming?" Lying in her bed, Allison asked her mother weakly.

"I think he is. I've called him myself. My child, why are you so silly? Besides Richard, there are many other nice guys out there. Why do you have to be with him?" Tracy did not want to see her daughter suffer.

However, she also found it strange. She remembered that her daughter once had a crush on Andy and even went abroad for him. Even though Andy never agreed to be Allison's boyfriend, she did not go on a hunger strike for him.

But Allison had refused to eat anything now just to get Richard's attention. Tracy was confused about who exactly her daughter loved more.

Only Tracy knew that Allison once liked Andy. Everyone else thought that Allison went abroad to take dancing lessons, but in fact, she went abroad to pursue Andy. However, Andy did not show any interest in her even after five years.

"He will definitely come here. He still cares about me. I will gamble on that!" Allison said weakly. She knew Richard had always loved her.

She was right. After a while, a servant reported to Allison that Richard had arrived.

A smile immediately appeared on Allison's face. Richard went to Allison's bedside and saw Allison's pale face and dry lips.

"Allison, what happened? Why do you refuse to eat?" Richard did not expect Allison to be such a weak girl.

He then remembered Amy who had a very good appetite and felt that that was a good thing. He found stronger women were more attractive.
