His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 132: The Coincidence

Moana

I woke up the next morning with the memory of what I overheard still fresh on my mind. To not only hear that Michael had sent that wolf to attack us, but also to hear that “Olivia” called Edrick again, left me feeling both confused and scared. If my baby was going to be in danger of someone like Michael, I didn’t know what I would do. I could only trust that Edrick would handle it and keep us protected.

It was Saturday morning, which meant that it was also a training day for Ella. I woke up early to get her ready, and decided that I would go to the orphanage and volunteer while Ella was in training. The last time I was at the orphanage, I discovered that Sophia was in need of help, so I decided that I would spend every Saturday morning that I could helping her out. I just hoped that she wouldn’t be too upset with me for not telling her about the baby sooner, as I was certain that she likely saw the news by now.

“I’m going to the orphanage while Ella is in training today,” I told Edrick as we ate breakfast together. “I’ll be volunteering for Sophia on Saturdays now.”

Edrick furrowed his brow as he took a sip of his coffee. He seemed a bit concerned, which I understood; with everything that had happened recently between the Rogue district and the Rogue that came to attack us in the woods, it was no wonder that he was worried about letting me spend time out of the house by myself.

“Well, at least bring a bodyguard with you,” he said, somewhat sternly. “I don’t want you going anywhere alone from now on.”

After the past week, I felt even more confused about my relationship with Edrick than ever. I just hoped that Mina was right when she told me that I just needed to give Edrick time, and then he would want

The phone rang almost nonstop; it seemed that Edrick’s foundation was bringing a lot of attention to the orphanage, and there were a lot of couples who wanted to get started with the adoption process. Not only that, but there were a lot of potential donors who called to make appointments so they could tour the orphanage, as well as other people who wanted to volunteer. Between all of the phone calls and workers coming in to make repairs thanks to the money from the foundation, I was busy nonstop during the few hours that I was there.
