The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 117

THE ALPHA’S NANNY.

Chapter 117

It took time, time processing it everything.

‘So, what should I make for dinner?”

Grace asked as she looked into one of the kitchen cabinets.

Lori shook her head, breaking out of her thoughts.

Grace had volunteered to make dinner. They had been having takeout since they arrived.

‘Yea I don’t mind anything. Although I might be in the mood for spaghetti.”

She said and Grace nodded.

“Ugh! I think I might have to go get some groceries.”

‘Oh! Why don’t you talk to Elliot? I’m not sure he’s doing anything at the moment.”

Grace rolled her eyes.

“Your think he’ll help out?’

Lori stood up from the sofa where she was laying.

‘I’ll go ask him myself. Give me a list of what you need.”

She asked and Grace nodded and she peeped into the fridge.

“Ah yes basically we need some chicken, some cheese, pasta. I think that about sums it all up…”

She said and she looked into the fridge again.

They had only gotten a few groceries when they arrived, not nearly enough.

“Okay. Please watch Emilia I’ll be right back.”

She said and Grace nodded.

Outside the penthouse and in the elevator, Lori pressed the number of Elliot’s floor.

His floor was five levels below them, a small apartment that Elliot had seemed very happy to be in.

Lori would miss how close they used to be before but luckily he lived in the same building and even though they just moved in a few days ago he likes to drop in unannounced every day.

When she arrived at his floor she was surprised to see him out of his room, his hand on his door handle and his other hand on his phone, to his ear in what

seemed to be a heated and serious conversation.

Lori paused.

She had never seen Elliot so angry.

“No! Lyle!

She heard him.

Lyle?!

Who was Lyle?!

She asked herself as she walked closer and tugged at his sleeves.

“Elliot?”

She called out and he turned to look at her, he froze when he saw that it was her and hastily put his phone in his pocket.

“Lori?! What are you doing here?!”

‘Who were you talking to? You sounded so angry…”

Elliot shook his head nervously.

‘Nobody…. Just some friend…”

“We got into some petty argument.”

‘About?!”

Elliot waved his hand away.

‘Let’s not! Let’s not talk about that.”

‘By the way… did you hear anything?”

He asked anxiously and Lori folded her arms and stared at him. He looked so jittery, what was he hiding? And who the hell was Lyle?

She didn’t know he had any friends named Lyle and even though she hadn’t technically met any of his friends the ones he told her about weren’t named

Lyle.

‘Nothing…”

Eliot sighed in relief.

“Are you sure?!”

Lori raised her eyebrow.

“Yes. I am…”

“You cannot tell Gabriel about this okay?!”

“Woah woah!! Now you’re acting weird. Tell him about what?”

That you saw me arguing on the phone.”

Lori chuckled.

‘I’m not sure he’ll care much about that. Come on, tell me about this Lyle guy.”

Elliot paled.

‘I thought you said you didn’t hear anything!*

He snapped at her and Lori took a step back.

She didn’t.

Just a name.

Elliot sighed, his hands massaging his temple.

“Okay. Here’s what you’re going to do. This whole interaction… let’s not speak a word of it to Gabriel.”

“Please… please Lori.”
