#Chapter 133: Pizza Party
Moana
By the time I picked up Ella and took her home, I had almost completely forgotten about the woman named Olivia who called the orphanage. Ella and I spent the remainder of the afternoon drawing and playing in the penthouse, and by the time that dinnertime came around, I was too tired and hungry after my long day to think about much of anything.
“Let’s get ready for dinner, Ella,” I said. I wasn’t sure what Selina and the maids planned on preparing for dinner that night, but I looked forward to sitting down and relaxing a bit. I helped Ella clean up her coloring books and toys, then had her wash her hands and clean herself up before we headed back out to the dining room to eat.
However, when we walked into the dining room, I was surprised to find that there was no dinner. In fact, when I poked my head into the kitchen, it didn’t seem that Selina and the maids were preparing anything at all. The three of them were seated around the kitchen island with tea and their own meals, but nothing else had been prepared.
I was about to open my mouth to ask if I should prepare something for myself and Ella — which I didn’t mind doing at all — when I suddenly heard the elevator doors open and Edrick’s voice came bellowing through the penthouse.
“I brought pizza!” he called. As he spoke, I could already smell it, and my mouth instantly began to water. I hadn’t had pizza in ages, but even more than that, I was surprised to hear that the Alpha billionaire actually bought take-out pizza for dinner.
“Yay! Pizza party!” Ella shouted. She took off running into her bedroom, leaving me standing in the middle of the dining room with a puzzled expression on my face.
Edrick came in then and set the pizza down on the table. “What are you doing still dressed?” he asked, eyeing me. “Put your pajamas on. It’s time for a pizza party.”
I was utterly shocked. Not only had the maids and Selina not mentioned that we were supposed to be having a “pizza party” tonight, but I was also shocked to find that Edrick wanted us to eat in our pajamas. But before I could ask why, Edrick walked out of the dining room and disappeared into his own bedroom.
I could only stare at Selina and the maids in shock. Selina chuckled when she saw the confused look on my face.
“He does this every so often,” she said. “It makes Ella happy.”
“Oh.” I was still taken aback, but it made sense that Edrick might want to make Ella happy after all of the stress she’d been through lately. I decided not to question it any further and went to my room to put on a set of pajamas that I felt comfortable wearing in front of everybody, then headed back out to the living room to see that Edrick and Ella were already seated on the floor in front of the television with plates of pizza in their hands.
