His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 69: Shopping for Baby

Moana

One night, I was reading a bedtime story to Ella when I found myself nodding off in the chair by her bed. I didn’t wake up until a couple of hours later. She was fast asleep and I didn’t want to wake her, so I quietly got up and slipped back into my room to go back to sleep.

When I walked back into my room, I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary, seeing as how tired I was. I moved my sketchbook aside and climbed into the covers, and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, I woke up with a headache. I groaned and sat up, rubbing my eyes, and as I did so I noticed something sitting on my bedside table that I hadn’t noticed the night before: a glass of brown liquid.

Furrowing my brow, I picked up the glass and inspected it. It was certainly one of Edrick’s whiskey glasses from his minibar, and when I sniffed its contents, I quickly realized that it was, in fact, whiskey.

I frowned. Why was there a glass of whiskey on my bedside table? I hadn’t noticed anything out of the ordinary the night before; had Edrick come into my room looking for me?

I decided that I would ask him about it later, and got up to start getting ready for the day.

Admittedly, it bothered me a little bit that some couples were ignoring their children while their nannies did all of the work. I was a bit grateful that Edrick never acted like
