His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 135: Public Debut

Moana

The next morning, I awoke with a pounding headache. I felt more confused now than ever with my relationship with Edrick; if my wolf really was right about Edrick being my mate, then it only made all of this even more complicated. I couldn’t help but wonder, too, if Edrick also knew that I was his mate and that he wasn’t telling me about it. But I couldn’t imagine why he would want to keep something like that a secret from me.

I finally got out of bed and made my way out into the living room, expecting Edrick to be locked away in his study after what happened the night before.

But, much to my surprise, he wasn’t. In fact, he was standing in the living room and looking out the window when I walked in. As I approached, he turned to face me directly without even a hint of remorse or embarrassment on his face.

“Sorry for the late notice,” he said, glancing at his watch, “but I just found out that I’ll need to go to a networking event tonight. You’ll need to be there as my fiancee, of course. Selina will keep an eye on Ella tonight.”

My eyes widened. “A… A public event?” I asked. The thought of going out into public with Edrickas his “fiancee” made me nervous, especially after all of the media attention we were already receiving. As our debut as a couple, it would no doubt be even more chaotic.
