His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 125: Getaway

Moana

My eyes landed on the TV in the living room, which was already showing clips of Edrick punching the paparazzi.

I felt my blood run cold as I watched it. Not only did the paparazzi spread the clips of what happened so quickly, but I felt as though it was entirely my fault. If I hadn’t made such a stupid decision to go out only a day after Edrick announced our “relationship”, then none of this would have happened. Not only that, but I put Ella in danger by deciding to take her out with me, and now she was terrified.

But when I looked over at Edrick, he didn’t look concerned in the slightest. Without a word, he calmly walked over to the television and shut it off.

“Keep the news off for today,” he said, turning to Selina and the maids. The three of them often liked to play the news on the TV in the background while they worked, but now it wasn’t the best idea after what happened. Not only would it be upsetting for Ella to see clips of her father punching someone over and over again, but it would be upsetting for the rest of us as well.

I opened my mouth to apologize to Edrick, but before I could say anything, he pulled out his phone and retreated to his study. The door slammed shut behind him and I could hear him speaking quickly. I couldn’t help but wonder who he was calling, but the door was thick and his voice was muffled. However, I could only imagine that he was calling the tabloid company like before, to pay them off for the clips. I couldn’t think of anything else that he would be doing, although I wasn’t sure how successful it would be considering the fact that the clips of him punching the paparazzi were already plastered all over the news.

The mansion was surrounded by nature, the air smelled like pine trees, and the mansion itself was stunning. Maybe I could even bring my painting supplies and my easel so I could paint a bit while I was there.

later that night, I decided to agree to Edrick’s proposition. I walked over to his bedroom in my robe and nightgown and knocked on the
