“Oh yes, I’ve been with Master Hayden since before he was born. I used to be his mother’s nanny you see and when she married the Master, I was graciously allowed to follow her here to continue serving her,” Auntie explained, her hands still busy with arranging the flowers.
“I see…umm, where is Hayden’s mother now? I’ve never met her although I’ve met the Boss many times. She…wasn’t at the wedding, was she?” I asked.
“The dear Madame, Master Hayden’s mother, passed away a very long time ago. She passed away when Master Hayden was still a very small child,” Auntie replied. There was a sad look on her face as if she hasn’t gotten over the death of Hayden’s mother.
“I’m so sorry…” I whispered.
“Oh no…it’s an old story now. Since my dear Madame passed away, I’ve been raising Master Hayden as best as I can. Although, sometimes, I’m not so sure if I’ve done a decent job or not…” she said with a small laugh.
