The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125

Ordinary.

769

Kate had called her ordinary and the word had stuck to Lori all through the lunch date. She was right, Lori was pretty ordinary. Not a penny to her name,

she was broke, no notable family except for her miscreant adopted brother and no education except for a high school diploma.

She didn’t deserve Gabriel.

Why would she?

She wasn’t even really angry at Kate, the woman was right. She had just stated the facts. But Kate had continued her taunting and the lunch had gone

downhill from there. Even the sushi left a bad taste in her mouth.

She just wanted to go back home and climb into the sheets and not be reminded of how inadequate she was.

Kate had gone on to state other things, many of which Lori had no idea about. The woman would just not stop talking and Lori was grateful when Emilia

was the one who provided her an exit.

She had given Emilia a bottle and Emilia had burped all over her romper, she didn’t usually do that, which was how Lori knew even the baby was trying to

get her out of the tiring situation.

She used that as an excuse to leave. And Kate eagerly waved back to her, mentioning that they should plan the next lunch date soon.

Absolutely not.

Lori would rather pull all her hair out than sit with the woman again and endure another round of humiliation.

The encounter left her feeling tired and her mood sour and she kept quiet all through the ride back to the penthouse. Even when she got home she went

straight to the bed, snuggling Emilia close.

It wasn’t until later when she heard someone opening the door that she roused from her sleep.

She and Emilia had fallen asleep. Emilia on her chest and Lori on her back.

It was Gabriel who had come and he was home early. Earlier than expected. He looked good, with his button down shirt with the sleeves rolled to his elbows

and his dark blue pants.

He kicked off his shoes quickly, his face lighting up as he saw Lori and the baby lying peacefully in bed.

He crawled into bed with them and pressed a kiss on Lori’s forehead.

‘Hey.’

“How are you doing?”

He asked as he cradled Emilia’s little head.

Lori smiled.

‘Good. What are you doing back here so carly? I thought you would have a lot to do…”

She said and he nodded.

“Yes, I do. I’ll head out later in the night. I just dropped in to see you.”

Lori smiled.

‘That’s so sweet…”

She said as she snuggled up to him.

“How was lunch with Kate?”

965

He asked and Lori felt her mood dampen again.

She has decided not to tell Gabriel. No need for him knowing and it was of no use either. He already had so much on his plate she didn’t want to add to it.

“It was good.”

Gabriel’s eyes widened.

“Really? Did you guys get along?”

Lori faked a smile.

‘We did. She was nice.”

Gabriel heaved a sigh.

“That’s good. I’m happy you guys got along. Kate was so eager to meet you…”

Lori nodded.

‘She was…”

She felt a knot forming in her stomach. Why did Kate say all those things if she was so eager to meet her? It all just sounded very weird.

‘I have something to tell you…”

Gabriel said in a serious tone and Lori sat up quietly.

‘What?’

She asked and Gabriel shrugged.

He lifted the baby from Lori’s chest and put her on his. Emilia seemed to snuggle in deeper into his chest as he held her.

Gabriel had been thinking of how best to tell her that Asher was somewhere rotting in a basement waiting for his death sentence. Draco had told him to wait a little longer, till they found Jared but they had been looking for Jared for a long time now and he was nowhere to be found.
