After that scene, no matter how Lulu stalked Annalisa, nothing seems happening next. It feels like that conversation didn't exist at all.
Annalisa just did her job as a babysitter very well and didn't seek attention from Claude at all.
However, Lulu didn't lower her guard and just continue to stalk her.
Carla did her days as usual and didn't think anything else. She was enjoying her life as a toddler. It's been two weeks since the passageways were clean and fixed, but she didn't visit it yet.
Leila sometimes teaches Carla on her own when she got time. However, their time slowly decreased as they were having a big deal coming into their company.
Fortunately, Carla was easily taught and could read by now. It was a miracle for Leila. That's why she gifted her daughter a more advanced book and told her to asked Annalisa when she didn't understand anything.
At night or when she got time, she asked Carla what she learned in the book and guide her.
It became easy as Carla could answer her with ease. Thus, Leila could have enough rest while she could focus on work. She felt lucky to have a daughter like her.
Right now, Leila was with Carla and test her out.
"We've finished distinguishing shapes the other day. Do you still remember it?" She asked.
"Yes, mom," Carla nodded.
The two were sitting down on the floor mat and made themselves comfortable.
Leila showed three pictures and asked her what are those. Carla answered her with a cheerful voice, "Trapezoid, heart, and hexagon!"
"Very good!" Leila rubbed her head. She took another three cards and asked her again.
"Rectangle, Triangle, and..." Carla count each side before answering the last one, "Pentagon!"
"You're really are an intelligent kid! Mommy is very proud!" Leila softly pinched her daughter's cheeks, "Now, let's go to the next topic. What did you study yesterday?"
Carla pondered and puffed her cheeks as she answered, "I learned colors! Primary colors and Secondary colors!"
Leila nodded, "Alright, what are those then?"
Carla showed her fingers like she was counting what she was gonna say, "Primary colorsh are red, blue and yellow. Then, shecondary are orange, green, and violet!"
"Very well!" Leila was very delighted and so does Carla. Then, Leila taught her different colors and how they were made by mixing them.
Carla was attentively listening as even though she has a mind of an adult, she's pretty sure she neglected some of the colors before as it wasn't really important.
Now, being taught colors and exotic shapes were fun for her. Some of them she already knew but some she had encountered but didn't know the name nor could distinguish it. Probably as it wasn't important for her before.
I mean, let's face it, not everyone learned all of it as when they were kids, only basics were taught. They will only encounter those hard ones as they major in math in college or did research on their own.
As for Leila, she excels in calculus before and since her daughter was enjoying the colors and shapes, why not teach her? If Carla couldn't do it, that's fine. The thoughts and bonding time matters.
While the mother and daughter having a bonding time. Annalisa took this chance.
She visited Claude in his office room at the mansion while bringing him snacks. "Still working? Why not rest for even a minute?"
Claude saw her bringing snacks and accepted them. He put down his works and sat on the couch beside her. "Thanks,"
"No problem. Thought you needed some refreshments. Leila and Carla were having a bonding, why don't you join them? It might help you relieve your stress." Annalisa innocently said with a sweet smile.
She wasn't trying to push him away, but instead, show him how she 'cares' for him and 'respected' his life.
The best way to take a man's love is to show how much you care but at the same time being low-key. Pretend innocent, that you aren't crossing the boundary in between but still take his attention with how much you respected or care for him.
However, that will only work on some guys like Claude who only like an innocent and sweet woman.
For adventurous men, or for respected men, there is another path to take for them.
For Claude, it'll be easy. Looking weak but trying to look tough. Pretend to be sweet and innocent but feisty in bed. Let him hear what he wants.
Claude felt touched learning that Annalisa cared for him and his family. "Thanks, but I'll stay here. Lots of works to do. Besides, they were probably studying."
Annalisa pretended to be awestruck, "Oh right! Carla is really smart, eh! I heard Leila said she was easily taught, so I tried to teach her one or two, but she answered it easily even without me helping!"
"She probably got her intelligence and perseverance from you!" She continued but felt shy in the end, "I mean, with you working so hard, at the same time being smart, she probably got it from you or both her parents."
Claude felt embarrassed, all this time, he was thinking how embarrassing he is when he let his wife work with him.
However, hearing Annalisa's compliments, his ego gone higher, "Well, it's probably genes. And I'm sure half of it came from Leila."
Even though he wanted to brag, he still trying to be humble in front of Annalisa.
Annalisa smiled at him, "Yes, yes, I wish my future child would be smart like her too."
"Well, you gotta find a man with high intelligence first!" After saying that, Claude was stunned, he didn't know but he felt something weird.
Annalisa rolled her eyes, "Ha, ha, ha, as if it was easy, I would probably be a wife right now if it is. Leila is really lucky to have you as her husband."
Claude blushed, and he saw Annalisa's ears turned red too, "Well, maybe you'll find someone like me too. Though, it'll be one in a million."
Annalisa chuckled, "I would be lucky if I could find one like you." She blinked her beautiful eyes and tried to cover her bashful cheeks.
Claude smirked and found it cute. He took the glass of juice and drink it. While Annalisa ate a cookie while looking away.
Lulu, who was watching this scene, wanted to puke. She recorded this and let Carla sees this when her master isn't busy.
