His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 78: Mystery Woman

Moana

When Edrick finally told his mother at lunch that I was pregnant with his baby and not some other man’s baby, there was a long silence. I felt my heart jump into my throat as my hands shook nervously underneath the table. What was his mother going to say? Was she going to accuse me of trying to lock down her son with a baby in order to gain money or social status? Was she going to tell me to leave and stay away from the Morgan family before I sullied their reputation with my status as a human nanny?

All of these things swirled around in my mind for those long few moments when no one spoke, causing a slight wave of nausea to wash over me. Suddenly, I lost what little appetite I had for my lunch, although I was already so nervous before that I couldn’t bring myself to eat much anyway.

Finally, and much to my pleasure and surprise, a broad smile spread across Verona’s aging face.

“Oh, how wonderful!” she said, clasping her hands together happily. “I’m so happy!”

Beside me, Edrick’s eyes widened. “Really?” he said, sounding just as incredulous as I felt.

“Of course!” Verona exclaimed. “Another grandchild!” She quickly lowered her voice then, realizing that someone might overhear if she got too excited about it. “I must admit that I am a little worried, though,” she said, her smile fading somewhat.
