His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 107: Rebuilding Bridges

I couldn’t help myself. When I overheard Edrick saying Kelly’s name in his study, and saying that he would “talk to her”, I got too curious and didn’t pay attention to my surroundings as I slowly creeped toward the study door. Were they talking about me? I felt my heart sink; what if they were talking about kicking me out so they could be together?

Suddenly, the door swung open and out stepped Edrick.

“Was that Kelly?” I blurted out, without even thinking.

Edrick’s eyes were wide, but he nodded. “Yes,” he replied. “Actually… Can I talk to you?”

I swallowed. Here it was: Edrick was going to tell me that I had to leave, that my presence was causing too many problems and that I couldn’t be around his family anymore. As I followed him into his office, I could only picture him writing me a check and signing over ownership of a new apartment to me, a place where I could live without bothering him or his family anymore, so long as I stayed quiet about our baby. Tears were already beginning to well up in my eyes.

When Edrick saw this, he furrowed his brow. “What’s wrong?” he asked, c*****g his head. “Why do you look like you’re about to cry?”

I shook my head and dabbed at my eyes with the back of my hand. “Just say it,” I muttered as I stared down at the floor. “If you want me to go, I will. I promise I won’t tell anyone. Just… Promise me that you’ll still help me take care of our baby, and promise that you’ll still visit from time to time. I don’t want to raise my baby without a father—”

“Woah,” Edrick said, holding his hands up in surrender and letting out a chuckle. “Slow down. That’s not what I wanted to talk to you about.”

I slowly looked up at him and sniffled. “It’s… It’s not?”

“No,” Edrick replied and shook his head. “It’s about Kelly.”

a pause between us. As our eyes met, I knew at that moment that something other than Kelly, Michael, or even Ethan was on both of our minds. I could still practically taste his sweet kiss on my lips. I could still feel his hands traveling along his waist, and as I saw him subtly lick his lip and saw his eyes wander down to my belly, I knew for certain that he was still tasting and feeling me, too.

possible that she was still up to something. I could only remember her slap and the evil, cunning look she gave me from behind Michael. But, at the same time, if Edrick was right about Michael simply putting ideas into her head and putting her up to it, then I supposed that it made sense. Everyone deserves
