Chapter 150: An Unexpected & Unwelcome Visitor

Moana

When I woke up and found that Edrick was gone, I was confused. It was still early, and he usually didn’t leave for work until a little later. I figured that he just got up early and was having breakfast in the dining room, so I got up and made my way out there to see where he was.

However, when I headed out to the dining room, Edrick wasn’t there. His study door was also open and he wasn’t in there, either. Furrowing my brow, I headed into the kitchen next, where Selina was already awake and preparing some coffee.

“Good morning,” she said. “Coffee?”

“Yes, please,” I replied as I walked up to the counter island. I then looked around, my brow still furrowed. “Have you seen Edrick?”

Selina shrugged. “I haven’t seen him yet this morning. Was he not in bed?”

I shook my head. It was still a bit awkward to hear others, especially Selina, mention the fact that Edrick and I slept in the same bed so casually. But I was getting used to it. “He wasn’t there,” I replied. “I guess he left for work early.”

Selina and I shared some coffee in the kitchen. As much as I loved Ella, it was nice to have a little bit of quiet time in the mornings before she woke up, and lately I had been spending more time getting to know Selina. I felt as though she was opening up to me more and more the longer I lived here, and I even felt as though I could begin to call her a friend.
