Nanny and the Alpha Daddy

#Chapter 166: Regular Girl

Moana

The next morning, I woke up to the sound of Edrick walking around the room. When I looked at the clock, I realized that it was a little later than I usually would have gotten up, and I quickly sat up and rubbed my eyes.

“Sorry,” I said, throwing the covers off and getting out of bed. “I overslept. Guess I missed my alarm.”

Edrick shook his head. “I turned it off for you,” he said as he fixed his hair in the en suite bathroom mirror. “I let you sleep in.”

I scrunched my eyebrows together. “Why?” Normally I woke up a full half hour earlier than this so that I could help prepare breakfast and get Ella ready, and sometimes I woke up even earlier than that.

“We’re going out,” he replied. “School supply shopping. Remember?”

My eyes widened for a moment. Edrick had mentioned that we would have to do some school supply shopping, but I didn’t think that he would want to do it so soon. Either way, I smiled and ran to my room to get ready for the day. I put on something comfortable to wear, knowing that we would likely be walking around a lot, and then got Ella ready as well at Edrick’s request. Ella was, of course, excited to go school shopping for the first time, and hardly sat down long enough to even eat her breakfast.
