Nanny and the Alpha Daddy
#Chapter 229: The Truth
Edrick

I stayed up almost all night thinking about things.

Moana was right about Ella needing to know the truth about her mother. Especially if bad things were about to happen, I felt as though I needed to finally tell her everything. And besides, Moana was angry with me; maybe this would remind her that I wasn’t all that bad, and that I was trying my best.

“Ella, can you come here, please?”

Ella sighed and pushed her chair back, causing it to scrape against the floor in an unpleasant way. She was upset with me, too, because she didn’t understand why we had to leave the penthouse so suddenly. But nonetheless, she came over to me and sat in my lap.

I caught a glimpse of Moana standing in the kitchen. Her green eyes met mine, and as I held Ella, I saw them soften as they looked at the two of us.

“Ella, there’s something that I haven’t told you. And I think you deserve to know the truth.”

“What is it?” Ella asked, looking up at me with a pout on her face.

I took a sharp breath. I wasn’t mentally prepared to have this conversation, but it needed to be done.

“Ella…” I saw Moana lingering in the doorway. It seemed as though she didn’t want to make it too obvious that she was listening, but if I was being honest, I wanted her here by my side for this. I just hoped that Ella would understand why I kept the truth from her for so long… And I hoped that she wouldn’t resent me.

“Daddy? What is it?” Ella was getting impatient, and looked up at me with wide eyes.

I sighed. “I haven’t been telling you the truth,” I finally said. “Your mom… Your real mom… She isn’t dead. Actually, she’s alive. The reason why I told you all this time that your mom isn’t alive anymore is because she isn’t very nice. See, when you were born, she didn’t want you. Or me.”
