Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law-Chapter 575: Passing by Without Meeting (3)_1

She had never once considered the feelings of her grandson or daughter-in-law.

There was something else she didn't want to admit, but she knew it very well in her heart. She had gotten used to, even started liking, her current life—the bickering with Rachel Bailey, and especially the feeling of being cared for by her daughter-in-law.

In daily life, Rachel Bailey showed real potential as a nanny, capable of taking excellent care of someone.

It wasn't without reason that Mrs. Ruiz's expression changed. The first thing Hansen Ruiz did when he got up was to order Floyd Thomas to send his mother back to A City immediately.

At the same time, the manager of the domestic service company personally brought two nannies with extensive experience in prenatal care.

"Hansen, Rachel is pregnant now; she needs someone to care for her. I'm just twiddling my thumbs at home, so I can take care of her," Mrs. Ruiz said with a warm smile. In front of her son, she was still that gentle, elegant, and dignified lady of a distinguished family, showing no sign of her usual bickering with Rachel Bailey.

Hansen Ruiz smiled as well, even more warmly than she did. When this mother and son were locked in a power struggle, they shared a common trait: they both liked to smile. The one who could smile the warmest was the one who held the upper hand.

Rachel Bailey felt that Hansen Ruiz had definitely inherited his mother's nature. Mother and son are both smiling tigers, she thought.

"Mom, I've been your son for thirty-six years. How come I've never known you to take care of anyone? If you're so good at taking care of people, I wonder who accidentally dropped me into the swimming pool thirty-six years ago." Hansen Ruiz looked at his mother, a gentle, teasing smile on his face. Now that Rachel was pregnant, he couldn't allow his mother to stay here and potentially upset Rachel. He was more concerned that his mother's dislike for Rachel might lead her to do something harmful.

Hansen Ruiz knew his mother's nature well and had very little trust in her.

"I..." The warm smile on Mrs. Ruiz's face stiffened slightly, her expression turning somewhat awkward. Curious, Rachel Bailey asked Hansen Ruiz, "Thirty-six years ago, weren't you just a baby? Who dropped you into the swimming pool?"

Hansen Ruiz laughed, a gentle, indulgent laugh directed at Rachel Bailey. "Honey, do you know how old I was the first time I swam? Four months."

"Genius!" Rachel Bailey exclaimed.

Hansen Ruiz laughed again and glanced at his mother. "I had no choice. I have a mother who's 'too good' at taking care of people. It was hot, and she thought I should take a bath, so on a whim, she threw me into the swimming pool, nearly drowning me." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Rachel Bailey was shocked, then anxious. "Are you okay?"

"Would I have been able to marry you if I weren't?" Hansen Ruiz said tenderly, playfully nudging her nose.

Everyone in the Ruiz family knew their mother wasn't good at taking care of people.

Years ago, when he was only four months old, she had tossed him into the swimming pool. If the nanny hadn't been there, he could have drowned—or at the very least, been scared to death. Of course, all this was told to him by the old family servants, wiping cold sweat from their foreheads as they recalled it, once he was grown up. When Mrs. Ruiz was young, she was as domineering, strong-willed, and tyrannical as she was now. However, she was a fool in daily life, probably because she was used to being taken care of. She had made significant progress compared to her younger self; at least she wasn't a fool anymore.

But even so, he didn't trust his mother to take care of Rachel.

"Hansen..." Mrs. Ruiz actually blushed, a rare occurrence for her.

In her youth, she had indeed caused many earth-shattering incidents.

Luckily, Matthew Ruiz had an extremely strong heart and immense tolerance, continuing to love her as he always had.

"I... I could also keep Rachel company..." Mrs. Ruiz made a last-ditch effort, but her protests grew weaker and weaker under Hansen Ruiz's steady gaze until they faded into silence.

In the end, she said helplessly, "Alright, I'll leave now. I've never seen a son like you, who doesn't know how to be filial to his mother and only knows how to drive her away. Aren't you afraid your aging mother will end up sleeping on the streets?" Mrs. Ruiz muttered.

Hansen Ruiz just smiled. If Mom ended up sleeping on the streets, the skies would rain red, he thought.

Around noon, Mrs. Ruiz got into the car and left Hansen Ruiz's villa under Floyd Thomas's escort.

"Madam, are we going home, or...?" Floyd Thomas asked while driving.

"First to the Emperor Hotel. Then, you help me find a villa to buy here. It would be best if it's across from or next to the Young Master's villa." I can leave my son's villa, but that doesn't necessarily mean I have to go home. I could also buy a house here at Waterfront New Village. That way, I'd effectively be a resident and could see my grandson grow up every day without being sent back to A City by my son—a win-win situation! My son is formidable; he isn't afraid of me and can even keep me in check. Normally so accustomed to getting my way, I become a meek, smiling, good mother in front of him. But as the saying goes, old ginger is spicier. Sure enough, I've come up with a solution!

"Okay," Floyd Thomas replied.

Only after Mrs. Ruiz had left did Hansen Ruiz tell Rachel Bailey he had hired two nannies. This way, she wouldn't have to do chores anymore and could rest easy, focusing on her pregnancy.

"Hansen Ruiz..."

As Rachel Bailey was about to say something, Hansen Ruiz pressed a finger to her lips. He looked at her tenderly and said softly, "Honey, don't say anything. Just listen to me, okay?"

Receiving his gentle gaze and feeling his love and care for her, Rachel Bailey's heart warmed, and she nodded lightly.

"RING RING RING..." At that moment, one of Hansen Ruiz's phones started to ring.

"RING RING RING..." Immediately after, his other phones also rang one after another.

There was a situation!

Hansen Ruiz immediately took out all his phones.

Rachel Bailey's heart instantly tensed. Please don't let this be another emergency calling him away on a business trip, she thought.

They hadn't even had a proper chance to enjoy their reunion or talk of love and affection.

"Alright, I've got it," Hansen Ruiz kept repeating.

After a moment, he ended all the calls and turned to look at Rachel Bailey.

Rachel Bailey thought he really had to leave on another trip. Her expression dimmed, but she still spoke thoughtfully and generously, "Do you have to go on another business trip? I'll go upstairs and pack your bags." As she said this, she turned and headed upstairs.

The nannies brought by the domestic service company manager decided to start work the next day. After negotiating their salaries, they left, and at that moment, only the couple remained in the villa.
