His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 141: Lady of the House

Moana

The rest of that day went by smoothly and quietly after Edrick left for work. As the day went on and I busied myself with taking care of Ella, I eventually forgot about my anxieties about the upcoming picnic. Maybe it would be fun just like Edrick said, and I hoped that Ella could make some friends while she was there. I knew that she felt isolated in this penthouse all by herself, and if one good thing came out of Edrick announcing our “relationship”, it was that Ella would no longer have to be hidden from the public.

Ella and I spent the afternoon going about our usual routine. Her piano teacher came to give her a lesson, and after that we spent the remainder of the day reading, drawing, and playing. By dinnertime, I was somewhat exhausted, but in a happy way.

Around dinnertime, I decided to help Selina and the maids prepare the meal. Selina chose to make a dinner that consisted of roast chicken, soup, potatoes and vegetables, and it was my job to peel the potatoes and cut the vegetables.

While the four of us cooked, the maids and I began to chat. Selina was usually quiet at times like this, solely focused on preparing the meal, but I knew that she was listening intently. Amy and Lily were a rather funny duo, and I thought I even caught Selina laughing a little at the two sisters’ banter when her back was turned.

“Are you going to another event with Mr. Morgan, Ms. Moana?” Amy asked as she stirred the pot of soup on the stove. “I overheard Mr. Morgan talking about it this morning. It’s so soon after the last event.”

Meanwhile, Selina continued to work on the roast chicken. Her back was turned to us, but I saw her head prick up a bit as we talked, and I knew that she was listening intently; no doubt she was thinking of something wise and comforting to say. At first I wondered if maybe she thought that I was being ridiculous for being so nervous about it, but then I remembered our experience at the werewolf hospital and was reminded of how upset she had gotten when the receptionist wouldn’t serve us before the werewolf couple behind us.
