440 Grandpa Luther

Jaden ran into the residence, looking for his grandma. Scarlet followed, holding Nate's hand. She was especially calm that day, and Nate had no intention of inquiring why.

«So, you will come to get us back, right?» Scarlet asked for the third time in a row.

«Yes, I will.»

«Sure, sure?»

«Yes, Scarlet. How would Lara react if I didn't? She would be angry at me, and I don't want that. Also, I want you back too.»

«You, too?»

«Yes. Of course, Scarlet.»

«Okay, daddy. We will be good, then, and grandma won't complain about us.»

«I'm sure she won't.»

«Then, come back for us early, okay?»

«Will you be able to wake up early?»

«Yes, of course! I'll be awake when daddy comes.»

That said, she waved at him and let go of his hand. She ran after her brother and walked inside.

Melanie reached the door and saw her son.

«Are you coming in?» she asked.

«I'm in a hurry,» Nate said. «We can talk tomorrow.»
