Chapter 252: Nanny and the Alpha Daddy

Moana

I couldn’t help but laugh as I thought back on the beginning of our relationship.

To think that, just a year prior, I was just Edrick’s one night stand who also became his nanny… And now, here I was, standing in front of the mirror in my wedding dress.

The dress that I picked out was beautiful. We planned to have a late summer wedding to commemorate our meeting, six months after little Daisy was born. My dress was a blush pink color. It was soft and flowy with a beautiful floral embroidered pattern, and sleeves that fluttered in the breeze. It hugged my waist in all of the right places and made me feel more beautiful than ever.

Daisy was six months old now, and Ella often mentioned how she no longer looked like a squished little grape. Ella had just turned nine, and thought that she was a grown-up, although she still liked to hold Edrick’s and my hands as we walked her to school. I treasured those moments and would never forget them when she eventually got too old to hold her mommy and daddy’s hands.

Our wedding was to be held at Verona’s mansion, in one of the sprawling gardens. I got dressed in one of the spare rooms with Sophia as my maid of honor and Mia, who had become a good friend to me over the past year, as my bridesmaid.

“You look stunning,” Sophia said with tears in her eyes as she finished placing my veil on my head. “The prettiest bride I’ve ever seen.”

“You’re just flattering me,” I teased, to which Sophia responded by pinching my arm.

Mia came up behind me and fixed my hair a bit. “Are you ready?” she asked. “You know, you can still run away from Edrick.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “Trust me, I’ve thought about it,” I replied jokingly with a smirk. “He’d just find me and make me come back.”

Mia and Sophia led me downstairs shortly after, and took me to the large double doors that led out to the garden where the ceremony would be held. In the banquet hall, I could hear the clamoring sounds of the reception being prepared.
