“Austin, that’s enough,” Mrs. Kensington scolded him.
“Congratulations to the both of you,” Mr. Kensington said. “Come on, children. We must go back to our table.”
“No!” Jenna shouted, hugging me tightly. “I want to stay with Stella.”
“Me too!” Austin shouted, causing a scene in the restaurant.
“Listen to me.” I knelt in front of them. “I miss both of you so much, but I have to focus on my schooling now. Remember how I told you I was taking classes to become a doctor?”
They both nodded as their sad eyes stared into mine.
“I need to go to school full-time so I can make that happen. Just like the two of you go to school.”
“It’s not fair. We don’t like our new nanny,” Jenna whined.
“That is enough, Jenna!” Mrs. Kensington spoke sternly. “Let’s go.”
I gave the children another hug and watched them head to their table. Sitting in my chair, I sighed and picked up my Cosmopolitan.
“You were the Kensington’s nanny?” Uncle Ben asked.
“Yes. For two years.”
“What type of doctor are you studying to be?” Aunt Gabby asked.
“I’m going for my doctorate in child psychology. I’m finishing up my master’s now.”
Uncle Ben chuckled. “You’re a psychologist and married him?” He pointed at Miles.
“As I said, it was love at first sight.”
“Yeah, right.” He shook his head. “You know what? I think it’s time we head home, Gabby.” He stood from his chair.
“We haven’t had dinner yet,” Miles said.
“Suddenly, I’ve lost my appetite. Let’s go, Gabby.”
“He hates me.” I stared at Miles, who sat there with a grin on his face.
“He doesn’t hate you. He hates me because he knows his time is limited at Bradshaw Capital. I guess it’s just the two of us.” He held up his drink.
Our waiter approached the table and set our food down.
“The two that were with us left,” Miles said.
“Oh. Okay. I’ll just take their food back to the kitchen.”

“Excuse me for a moment, Stella,” I said, getting up from my seat.
I walked over to the Kensington’s table. “Why don’t the two of you go over and talk to Stella before we leave?” I said to the children.
They quickly exited their seats and ran over to our table. I sat down across from Nadine and Brandon.
“Stella is a good woman. You made the right choice, Miles,” Brandon said.
