Nanny and the Alpha Daddy

#Chapter 83: Forgotten

Moana

We returned to the penthouse after the incident with the creepy man, which unfortunately put a bit of a damper on the trip. However, I tried not to let the man get to me, and was instead grateful for Edrick’s quick thinking and protective demeanor. The entire ride home, I kept glancing at him by accident. I wasn’t sure if he noticed, but if he did, he didn’t say anything about it.

After parking the car, we took the elevator up to the penthouse and finally took our masks off once we were on the elevator. I was relieved to finally take the mask off after wearing it all day and let out a deep sigh as we set down our things.

Unfortunately, it seemed that our relief was short-lived. Selena quickly came into the foyer not long after we arrived with an expression on her face that was a combination of both concern and mild frustration.

“What’s wrong?” I asked before she even said anything. Already, just from the look on her face, I could tell that something happened.

She sighed. “It’s Ella,” she said. “She’s been moping in her room all day. I tried going in, but she even barricaded the door with toys. I’m not sure what to do.”

Edrick and I exchanged quick glances. We both seemed to be thinking the same thing. “We’ll check on her,” he said with a sigh. “Go and take the rest of the night to yourself, Selena. I’m sure you’re exhausted.”

Selena managed a weak, but surprised, smile. Without another word, Edrick walked off in the direction of Ella’s room. Selena shot me a brief glance that conveyed her shock at the Alpha billionaire’s suddenly generous demeanor, to which I merely shrugged, before I followed him to Ella’s bedroom door.
