Nanny and the Alpha Daddy

#Chapter 132: The Coincidence

Moana

I woke up the next morning with the memory of what I overheard still fresh on my mind. To not only hear that Michael had sent that wolf to attack us, but also to hear that “Olivia” called Edrick again, left me feeling both confused and scared. If my baby was going to be in danger of someone like Michael, I didn’t know what I would do. I could only trust that Edrick would handle it and keep us protected.

It was Saturday morning, which meant that it was also a training day for Ella. I woke up early to get her ready, and decided that I would go to the orphanage and volunteer while Ella was in training. The last time I was at the orphanage, I discovered that Sophia was in need of help, so I decided that I would spend every Saturday morning that I could helping her out. I just hoped that she wouldn’t be too upset with me for not telling her about the baby sooner, as I was certain that she likely saw the news by now.

“I’m going to the orphanage while Ella is in training today,” I told Edrick as we ate breakfast together. “I’ll be volunteering for Sophia on Saturdays now.”

Edrick furrowed his brow as he took a sip of his coffee. He seemed a bit concerned, which I understood; with everything that had happened recently between the Rogue district and the Rogue that came to attack us in the woods, it was no wonder that he was worried about letting me spend time out of the house by myself.

“Well, at least bring a bodyguard with you,” he said, somewhat sternly. “I don’t want you going anywhere alone from now on.”

I agreed, only because I was constantly reminding myself of Edrick’s phone call with Michael the night before. But on the way to Ella’s training and then the orphanage after that, I couldn’t deny the fact that I felt a bit uncomfortable having a bodyguard follow me around. However, I knew that it was the safest thing to do, and the bodyguard that Edrick hired was very nice. In fact, as I sat down at the front desk and began my work for Sophia, I couldn’t help but smile when I heard the children pestering the bodyguard and making him play with them.

the past week, I felt even more confused about my relationship with Edrick than ever. I just hoped that Mina was right when she told me that I just needed to give Edrick time, and then he would want to have more than a fake relationship.
