His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 108: A New Woman

Moana

The next morning, I reluctantly woke up and got ready in preparation for my appointment visit with Kelly. As I got dressed, there was a pit that slowly grew inside of my stomach, filling me with dread.

“I don’t like her,” Mina said. She had been surly with me since I made the decision to meet with Kelly. “I’m getting bad energy from this. I really don’t think you should go.”

“It’ll be fine,” I replied out loud with a sigh as I put on my makeup, not realizing once again that someone might overhear me and think that I was talking to myself. “It’s just a doctor’s visit.”

“It could be more than that,” Mina insisted. “It could be a trap.”

I fixed my hair then, pulling it back into a half bun, and shook my head. “It will be fine. She won’t do anything. Besides, if anything starts to get weird, I’ll just go home by myself.”

Mina fell silent. I knew that she was furious with me, but I couldn’t just live my life assuming that everyone was out to get me. This wasn’t just about me; it was about Edrick, Ella, and the baby, too. I needed to try my best to be diplomatic, because that would be the only thing that would potentially make Michael hate me a little less. Maybe, once it eventually came out that I was a werewolf, the fact that I had also been kind might sweeten the deal even more. That way, I wouldn’t need to worry about Michael trying to get me removed from Edrick’s home again. Over these past couple of months, the penthouse had become my home, too. I didn’t want to raise my baby in a home without its father, either.

Once I was finished, I took a step back to check my outfit. Kelly was always a bit degrading when it came to my body, so for that reason I felt compelled to put a bit more effort into how I looked today. I knew that it was childish of me to be worried about how she thought of me, but I couldn’t help it.

Satisfied with my appearance, I headed out of my bedroom to eat breakfast. Selina had promised to take care of Ella until I returned, and when I entered the dining room, there was already a plate set out for me. Selina, who was pouring a cup of coffee for me as I approached, offered me a weak smile.

“Are you sure about this?” she asked quietly, finishing up with pouring my coffee and handing me the pitcher of creamer and the dish of sugar. “I can go with you instead, if you’re not sure. Amy and Lily can watch Ella.”

I shook my heed. “It’s fine,” I lied, elthough I reelly wesn’t so sure et this point if it would be fine. “It’s just e doctor’s eppointment.”

Seline seemed e bit dissetisfied with my response, but didn’t bring it up egein.
