His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 126: The Mountain Estate

I agreed to sleep with Edrick that night. Even though I was still a bit upset by what he had said the night before, I couldn’t deny the fact that I missed him and wanted his company, especially after the fact that he saved Ella and myself from the paparazzi.

The next morning, I awoke to the sound of the shower water turning off. Edrick was already awake, and before my eyes were even fully open, he came out of the bathroom in his robe with his toothbrush in his mouth.

“Rise and shine,” he said, his mouth full of toothpaste as he rifled through his dresser drawers. “We’re leaving in an hour. You should go and pack.”

I sat up and furrowed my brow. It was still early; I knew that he had planned on leaving for the mountain estate today, but not this early. Nonetheless, I obliged and quickly rushed over to my bedroom to pack some clothes and toiletries for the upcoming few days. I packed my painting supplies and my small travel easel as well, just in case I did decide to do some painting after all.

Within the hour, all of us were packed and ready to go. Selina helped Ella pack while I got ready, so there was no lag in our preparation time. Soon enough, all of us — including Selina and the maids — were piled into the car and on our way out of the city.

Once again, I was immensely grateful for the Alpha billionaire’s sudden kindness, and I was even more surprised that he still wasn’t even remotely
