A CURVY NANNY FOR THE BILLIONAIRE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

While boarding the plane, in order to stay calm and collected, Nicola concentrated all her attention on Iris. The little girl was extremely excited to go back home and play with Olaf.“What would you like to do during the flight?” Nicola asked her. “Would you like to draw or play some game?”“I want to watch some cartoons…” the little one replied.“‘Frozen’ again or something else?”“Something else, please. But I want to watch them alone. You go over there and stay with Daddy,” Iris urged her. “He might get bored…” she added and tried to wink without success.“You are something else, Messy Missy!” Nicola responded smiling and then prepared the little girl for the trip. During the plane ride back home, as Iris requested, Nicola sat across from Blake. She alternated between gazing his way and out the window. Every time she looked his way, their eyes would meet and her heart would skip a beat. The memory of the kiss they shared was floating in the air but non

“Good morning, Mr. Echols,” Daphne said as Blake stepped out of the elevator and into the reception area.“Good morning, Daphne,” Blake replied.“I put several messages on your desk,” Daphne informed him.“Thank you. Will you please come into my office? There are some things I need you to do for me.”“Of course, sir.” Daphne stood and followed Blake to his office. She took a seat in one of the chairs in front of his desk and waited for him to speak.“I’ll begin with the most urgent task. Starting today, Claire is no longer allowed in this office and in this building.” Blake set his briefcase on the desk, opened it, and took out a stack of files.“I want you to call Paul from the Security Team and let him know if they ever see her to notify the police as soon as possible and have her arrested for trespassing.”“Yes, sir,” Daphne said. “Consider it already done.”“Good!” He unbuttoned his suit coat and took a seat behind the desk.“I need you to look up the

The next day, Nicola and Iris entered the ‘Echols Enterprises’ building and made their way across the large lobby to the elevator. They passed Paul, the head of Security who was talking to a couple of members of the team. He nodded his head in greeting and Nicola nodded back. At the elevator, Iris insisted on pushing the button. When the doors slid open, she raced inside. Standing on her tiptoes in front of the control panel, she reached up to push all the buttons.“Not so fast, little one,” Nicola said, stepping inside the elevator. “We don't need to stop to all the floors.” She held the baby up and pointed to one with the number twenty on it.“Push only this one. That will take us to the top floor where your Daddy is.” Iris jabbed the button with her finger. Nicola put her down slowly, then the baby moved closer to Nicola as the elevator began to ascend. The doors parted a minute later and they walked out into the reception room to find Daphne

Nicola was in the kitchen fixing herself a cup of tea when her cell phone rang. She looked at the caller’s ID. It was Blake. Maybe he was calling to ask about Iris. The little one was away with Alma. Still, no matter the reason for this call, it was nice to hear his voice.“Hi,” she replied, trying not to sound too enthusiastic.“‘Hi, Nik,’” he replied. “‘Listen, I’m still with Norman. We’re still working on the right strategy to go after Claire.’”“Okay…”“‘I just wanted to let you know that I’ll be a little late.’” ‘He is acting like a real husband…’ she thought.“S-sure,” she mumbled, totally surprised. “But you’ll skip dinner… Have you already eaten?”“‘Yes, I did. Norman ordered some pizza and we ate in his office. An early dinner.’”“Oh… Okay. Good,” Nicola mumbled again. “Have you two decided the right path to follow?”“‘I think so. We have a few plans, but we are going to start everything after our wedding.’” ‘OUR wedding… It sounds so good and at

On Friday morning, Blake awoke early.“My wedding day…” he said as he came awake. “Today, I’m getting married to a woman I don’t love and who’s not in love with me but willing to help me save my child… Am I doing the right thing here?” The thought was disturbing, irritating but also quite scary. After the bad experience with Claire, after their nasty divorce, Blake swore he would never enter that trap again. Not willingly. The simple thought of getting married was upsetting enough. But as they say… Never say never. He was about to do it again. Blake rolled over onto his side and his eyes landed on the picture of Iris that sat on the bedside table. A feeling of calm quickly replaced the fear, worry, and dismay.“Yes, marrying Nik is the right thing to do…” An image of the beautiful blonde-haired woman abandoned in his arms, responding so passionately to his kisses, filled his head, and emotions he had no name for rose within
