His Lost Love

Chapter 7: A strange man

And in all of this, I feel like Noah has been a great help too, because he never troubles me, he rarely ever cries, he just cries to let me know that he's hungry or he needs a nappy change, other than that, he's always such a happy little baby who is quite easy to handle.

The day I moved here, was also the day I met Noah's grandfather for the first time and God knows why, but he seemed quite shocked to see me, which made me wonder if I had something on my face or was I dressed inappropriately or maybe my attire just wasn't upto their standards.

But later on he explained that how he had something else going on in his head at that time, which was a bit unconvincing but who was I to question him? Nobody, I know, which is why I just kept my mouth shut and nodded my head in acknowledgement.

Even the house helps working here, look at me as if they have just seen a ghost or something but I just try my best to ignore their strange stares.

But all said and done, it's just this little guy Noah, who doesn't makes me feel weird or out of place, it seems like he is the only one who has accepted me with open arms and doesn't gives me those judgy looks.

But he's just a little baby, which is why his heart and soul are pure and innocent.

Anyways, as for Mr. Joseph Walker, Noah's grandfather, and his wife, Elizabeth, they moved back to their place, just two days back after they were confident enough that I'll be able to take care of their grandson on my own.

And honestly I was kinda confused with them moving away as initially I thought that this was their place but Elizabeth explained how this was her son's place and since he was away on a business trip, they decided to stay back here with Noah, to take care of him.

She also said something about Noah's previous nanny dying due to a heart stroke, which was yet another reason why they were staying here until Noah's father returned.

Though I did wonder where his mother was as nobody has even mentioned her. But so far I have managed to keep my curiosity to myself, not wanting to sound nosy.

"I gotta go, Emma, I'll call you later to check up on Noah" Elizabeth said snapping me out of my thoughts once again, before hanging up as I placed my phone aside and looked at Noah who was listening to our conversation with all his attention and I couldn't help but laugh at the serious look on his face.

"Did you even understand anything that you just heard? Noah" I said cooing him as he just stared at me.

"Do you know that we are going to the park today" I added as he threw his hands up and down in the air, happily.

"Come then, let's go" I mumbled before gently taking him in my arms. I feel like he is so delicate which is why I always make sure that I am extremely gentle with him.

A few minutes later as Noah and I were taking a stroll in the park, I couldn't help but smile seeing that Noah was so happy being out here, watching the kids who were obviously older than him, playing with each other, which made me wonder if he wanted to join them.

But letting him join them was obviously out of question as he's too young to be playing like that, so for now he only gets to watch them while sitting in his comfortable stroller.

I glanced around, it seemed like every parent from near by was out here today with their kids and it wasn't hard to guess that it had everything to do with the fact that it was a sunday morning.

"Hey! You seem quite happy" I said kneeling before Noah's stroller.

"Do you like it here? Should we come here more often?" I asked and as if in response he smiled and blabbered something, which I obviously couldn't understand but I could tell that he was happy.
