His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 62: Like Mother and Daughter

Edrick I couldn’t believe my ears. Moana was pregnant, just as I had suspected… but she was pregnant with my child.

At first, I didn’t want to believe her, but the pleading look on her face told me all I needed to know. I could tell that she was being truthful — there was no doubt about it. But at the same time, I couldn’t quite tell if she was being truthful about her original intentions. Was this really just an accident, or did she intend on getting pregnant with my child from the beginning?

I thought back to the night that we had our one night stand as I walked back to my room. I was drunk that night, so the memory was hazy, but I remembered how she seemed to be unable to resist me in the back of the car. When I took her up to the hotel room I’d booked for her, she had practically leaped on me and began kissing me all over.

Don’t get me wrong: I couldn’t resist her either, for some strange reason. I normally had very few issues when it came to women, especially human women. But that night, I remembered wanting her just as much as she wanted me. Still, I couldn’t help but wonder if she knew exactly what she was doing that night, and I wondered if her intentions were impure.

After she told me that she was pregnant, I knew that I couldn’t live with myself if I sent her away or disowned both her and the child. Beyond the fact that I was too responsible to be an absent father, regardless of how I felt about the mother, I also knew how much Ella loved Moana. Ella had forced every Nanny we tried to hire out of our lives, but she had a special connection with Moana that I didn’t have the heart to break. Ella was the light of my life, and I couldn’t bear to send Moana away if it meant seeing Ella sad.

I did, however, tell Moana that I couldn’t marry her. Not only was she a human of low social standing and it would never go over well with my family, especially my father, but I also simply didn’t believe in marriage. After what happened with my mother and father, and then what happened with Ella’s mother, I felt that marriage was just a way to open myself up to unnecessary pain. I would provide for Moana and our child, but I would never get romantically involved, and I would certainly never make her my wife.
