The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Lori blinked, her surroundings were different. She wasn’t in her own room, but rather someone else’s.She rubbed her eyes as she looked around, taking in the entire room and her eyes widened as she realized she was in Gabriel’s room.

She sat up, startled, she looked next to her and found out that the space next toer was empty and quite cold, Gabriel must have left for work early. She looked around and her eyes landed on the bedside drawer where the time on the igital alarm read 9:45 am. Her eyes widened.

How was it that she had slept for so long, so comfortably without even waking up!

She jumped out of the bed, rushing out of the room and back to her bedroom.

She met the door of her bedroom completely gone and stared at her open room i bewilderment. It looked like someone had ripped it off it’s hinges.

Crazy! She thought as she shook her head.

She didn’t have time for that though. She thought as she waved her curiosity away and changed into shorts and a large black T-shirt.

She walked into the adjoining bathroom in her bedroom and brushed her teeth. She wondered why Gabriel didn’t wake her up.

God she had been such a nuisance last night, with everything that had happened and with the nightmare she had. She didn’t mean to be such a burden to him but apparently it was much harder to avoid her past than she thought.

The nursery was empty. Which meant the baby was probably downstairs. She sighed, Jenny or Grace must have been busy taking care of her while she was sleeping.

Downstairs, Lori found Emilia in the living room, inside the bassinet where she was awake and stretching, contentedly staring at the ceiling.

She sighed as she went towards the bassinet and carried the baby out of it and into her arms.

‘Awwn. Did you miss me?!”

She asked as she smothered her with kisses.

“I missed you too.”

Lori cooed as Emilia wiggled her feet.

‘Oh! You’re awake!”

Grace said from behind as she walked towards her with a bottle with milk in her and and a burp napkin on the other.

“Yes. Good morning Grace.”

‘Why didn’t anyone wake me?”

She asked and Grace shrugged.

‘Well, we were instructed not to. Besides, you had a long night, it wasn’t such a bad idea to let you sleep in.”

Lori still felt pretty bad. It was her job to be a nanny, she was being paid to be amanny, what sense did it make if she couldn’t even do her job right.

“Who watched over the baby?

RG

She asked and Grace shrugged, a small smile on her face.

‘Jenny handled it quite well. And Mr Gabriel was with her this morning.”

Lori sighed.

‘I feel bad… I’m so sorry. I’ll apologize to Jenny.”

Grace chuckled.

39%

Apologize for what?’

“You had a nightmare sweetheart. Speaking from experience I know how terrifying those can be.”

“Besides, Mr Gabriel was very worried about you. That was why he didn’t mind you sleeping in..”

Grace walked up to her and examined her face, the old woman’s deep brown eyes burrowing into Lori’s hazel ones. She pressed a hand on Lori’s temple.

‘Are you fine now? Do you feel better?”

She asked and Lori nodded, stretching her hands to receive the baby’s bottle from Grace.

Grace handed it to her and Lori sat down on the nearest couch and plopped the Bottle into the baby’s mouth.

Grace sat next to her, her hands folded in the pleats of her grey skirt. She always dressed in the mosh formal way, such long skirts and starchy shirts.

‘Mr Gabriel told me what happened…*

“He did?”

Lori asked and Grace nodded.

‘I feel like I have done a great disservice by not asking you about the circumstances of your son’s birth. I didn’t want to pry…”

She shifted uncomfortably, Grace on the other hand remains calm while watching her intently.
