The Nanny's Secret Child. Lorraine Beatty

СКАЧАТЬ watched her walk to her car, her dark wavy hair bobbing with each step. Somehow, Julie Bishop had managed to tear down his daughter’s resistance and put a dent in his own barriers. Maybe the Lord was listening after all. Now it was his turn to take a crack at it.

      He took the stairs two at a time. Abby was curled up on her bed when Gil entered her room, the same way she’d been since he’d brought her home. The worn polka-dot backpack was close at her side. “I’m home.” He sat on the edge of the bed. “The nanny will be back tomorrow. She liked you a lot. Did you like her?”

      Abby thought about that a moment before nodding.

      “Good. I like her, too. She’s going to be taking you to school each morning.”

      “Are you going away?”

      “No.” He reached out and squeezed her hand. “I just have lots of work to do. But I’ll be home every night. Promise.” She looked skeptical. “Miss Bishop...”

      “She said to call her Miss Julie.” Abby corrected him with a deep frown.

      “Right. Miss Julie said you might like to have a puppy.” A light appeared in Abby’s eyes, causing Gil to catch his breath.

      Abby nodded. “Can I?”

      “Absolutely.” His little girl smiled at him, and he thought his chest was going to explode with joy. “I’ll get you whatever dog you want, sweet pea. I love you very much.” Abby stared at him a long moment. Did she believe him? She would. Because he’d tell her that every hour until she had no doubts left.

      “What’s a sweet pea?”

      He laughed and stroked her soft brown hair. She didn’t pull away this time. “It’s a pretty little flower that your grandma likes to grow.”

      “Oh. That’s okay, then.”

      Progress. And he had the new nanny to thank.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
