His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 177: Caffeine Crash

Moana

The rest of the weekend went by too quickly. I spent all of Sunday with Ella to make up for not seeing her on Saturday, and soon enough Monday morning came around.

However, I noticed something over the weekend as well as the first few days of the week: Mina’s sleepiness wasn’t getting any better. In fact, it only seemed to be getting worse, and it was making me nervous. At first, I thought it was just the pregnancy, but now I was beginning to think otherwise.

And in fact, there was something especially odd about it.

Mina seemed to get better at nighttime. She still had very little energy during that time, but it was an obvious improvement nonetheless. This slightly heightened energy would go on through the night and the early morning, but then she would get extremely sleepy again whenever I drank my morning coffee.

By Thursday, I was beginning to get suspicious. I decided then to try an experiment; on Thursday morning, I decided not to drink my morning coffee.

“Good morning,” Selina said as I walked into the kitchen. I was already dressed for work, and Ella was already sitting at the kitchen counter and eating her toast and eggs before school. I kissed Ella on top of her head and smiled at Selina, who had just placed a plate of breakfast down for me.

But when I sat down, I saw that my coffee was there. I subtly pushed it away and ate my breakfast without mentioning it, but Selina noticed that the cup was untouched as I finished eating and stood up to get ready to leave.
