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.

As I put it on, I looked in the mirror and noticed that it seemed to hug my slightly growing belly well, and I even found myself running my hands along my belly with a smile on my face as I looked in the mirror. I couldn’t wait

I was dressed, Edrick and I took Ella to training and dropped her off. Then, he drove just the two of us to a local strip of expensive outlet stores. As we pulled into the parking lot, I was a bit taken aback by all of the luxury sports cars that were parked outside. Happy families dressed in designer clothes roamed around outside as they walked from store to store, and there was a large marble fountain with a statue in the center surrounded by a small park with benches.
