Nate returned to the first room. Lara had soothed Jaden and was resting on the couch, reading some documents she might have postponed to the afternoon. She must have been busy with the pack, especially during an emergency, yet she didn't want to stop doing her job as Nate's secretary.
«Hey, Jaden,» Nate said, sitting next to him. «Do you want my help?»
Jaden shook his head, assembling the puzzle in silence. His mommy had convinced him to stop crying, and she also said he was as smart as to redo it in no time!
«Then, do you want to talk?» Nate added, sitting there and observing the puzzle. It was almost done. Four pieces were missing in the middle, but Jaden was hurrying with the corner.
When he finished fixing what Scarlet broke, Jaden got up and strolled to Nate.
«Close your eyes!» he exclaimed.
Nate blinked, surprised.
His son stood on tiptoe, covering his eyes.
