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.”
