POV: LAUREN

A soft knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts. When I opened it, the housekeeper stood there, holding an elegant box out to me.

“This arrived for you,” she said with a slight smile.

I hesitantly took the box, feeling the weight of what it meant.

“Did Mr. Carter send it?” I asked, suspicious.

“Yes, he asked you to get ready for dinner—without delays,” she confirmed before stepping away.

I took a deep breath and carried the box to the bed. Undoing the ribbon, I slowly lifted the lid.

Inside, a white dress lay neatly folded—delicate and sophisticated. The lace details made it even more refined, and for a moment, I swallowed hard.

“He’s got to be joking.” I murmured.

The dress was stunning—almost too stunning. There was something about it that reminded me of a wedding gown. My fingers glided over the fabric, and the thought of what Henry might be planning settled in my mind.

Was this a date?

I shook my head, pushing the thought away. No… He was practical and calculated.

  • THE CEO'S PREGNANT NANNY   317 – Love Conquers All

    POV: LaurenI settled beside him, feeling the warm sand beneath my feet and following his gaze fixed on our children. Theodor was chasing after Noah, who could barely steady his little steps, while Alice clapped her hands, laughing, seated on a colorful towel. It was such a simple scene, yet so full of love, that it brought tears to my eyes.“This is my definition of paradise,” Henry murmured, his voice deep and soft, without taking his eyes off the kids. Then, he slowly turned his face to me, and his intense, silvery gaze softened when it met mine. “The only thing missing was you by my side.”“I’m sorry…” I whispered, letting a shy smile slip as I brought my hand to his face, caressing the line of his jaw. “I needed some time alone to think.” I leaned in and captured his lips in a slow, affectionate kiss. I felt the warmth and familiarity of that touch, and as

  • THE CEO'S PREGNANT NANNY   315 – A FINAL STAND

    POV: HENRYMy blood boiled.“Not me!” Lauren shouted, landing a precise knee strike to Ethan’s abdomen. He doubled over in pain, letting out a choked groan. She shoved him hard and tried to run, but a gunshot shattered the silence of the night, the sharp sound stopping her in her tracks.Lauren froze, raising her hands, her body rigid, her chest rising and falling with short, rapid breaths.“You’re still a disobedient bitch,” Ethan spat, his eyes burning with rage.That was the final straw. I stepped out from my hiding spot, my gun steady in my hands, the sight locked on his chest.“Drop the gun, Ethan, now. You’re surrounded,” I said, my voice hard and deep, each syllable laced with menace.He glanced at me, surprised. That was the moment Lauren needed. She ran toward me without hesitation, and I w

  • THE CEO'S PREGNANT NANNY   314 – LAUREN’S PLANS

    POV: HENRYThe sound of the alarm clock echoed, slicing through the silence of the early morning. I stirred in bed, still groggy, and reached out for Lauren, searching for the warmth of her body.“Sweetheart, it’s time…” I mumbled, but my hand found only the cold, empty sheet.I snapped awake, my body tense, and sat up abruptly. Furthermore, I glanced at the alarm clock, which read two in the morning.“Why the hell is it going off at this hour?” I grumbled, shutting off the annoying noise with a sharp movement.When I turned on the bedside lamp, my eyes were drawn to a folded piece of paper left on the nightstand.“What’s this?” I murmured, my voice hoarse and laced with unease, running a nervous hand through my hair before grabbing the paper. As I unfolded and read it, my eyes widened, sleep vanishing instantly. My entire body heated with a mix of anger and worry. “Lauren… what have you done?”The note, scribbled with the haste I recognized in the shaky strokes of her handwriting, re

  • THE CEO'S PREGNANT NANNY   313 – THE DESPERATION OF THE EX-HUSBAND

    POV: LAURENAfter that chaotic night with Violet, the house’s security was tightened. Automatic gates, alarms, and 24-hour surveillance. Even so, the trauma kept me from sleeping. To try to ease my mind, I decided to write. The words started to flow, and for the first time, I seriously considered publishing a book. A raw, real account of my life and how I gained children who, though not mine by blood, became my reason for living, making me feel like a mother even before my own daughter was born.While I was reviewing what I’d written, my phone buzzed on the table. The number was unknown. My body froze for a few seconds, a wave of alertness washing over me.“Who could that be?” I murmured, my breathing heavy and my hands sweating.I took a deep breath, tapped the screen, and brought the phone to my ear.“Hello?” My voice came out low, hesitant.On the other end, an eerie silence. My heart raced.“We need to talk, Lauren,” a male voice said quickly, laced with tension from the other sid

  • THE CEO'S PREGNANT NANNY   312 – VIOLET’S PAST

    POV: LAUREN“Violet, do you think you can give Noah everything he needs right now, the way things are?” I said in a low, steady tone, careful not to startle her. “You’ll always be his mother, and nothing will ever change that—not time, not anyone. But for now… please, let me take care of him for you. Just until you’re okay.”She squeezed her tear-filled eyes shut and pressed her nose into the baby’s hair, breathing deeply as if she wanted to hold onto that moment forever.“He’s so beautiful…” she murmured, her voice choked with emotion, kissing his forehead with trembling tenderness. “He’s beautiful, isn’t he?”My heart ached at the fragility in her voice.“Yes, Violet… he’s absolutely beautiful,” I replied in a near whisper, keeping my gaze steady on hers.“He has my dad’s nose, you know?” she said suddenly, her red-rimmed eyes gleaming as she looked at me. “And my mom’s smile…”“Really? That’s wonderful, Violet,” I agreed softly, taking another cautious step forward. “Can I hold him
