93- Resist His Charms

 Marissa juggled a crying Abigail on her hip while she handed over a fruit plate to Alex, "Go, share it with Ariel," she instructed him and then moved back her attention to Abi.

"Abi. Honey!" Ever since her return, Abi had been too irritated for some reason. Sophie swore that all of them behaved well in her absence but now Abigail wanted her mom to carry her around like a baby.

She was constantly glued to her mom's hip.

"Stop crying, sweetheart," she cooed the little one, kissing her head. The back of her hand was automatically touching the child's forehead again and again for any sign of fever. 

"Mommy. Look! Ariel is looking at me," the girl pointed to her sister who was busy putting an apple piece in her mouth with the fork.

"No, little one. She is having fruits and saying something to Alex. Why don't you join them and get back your energy," Instead of replying to her, Abigail hid her face in the crook of her mom's neck.
