Scarlet was sitting on the bed when Nate came back with the book. She sensed her mother behind the door, and her eyes stood there until Lara sighed and walked in.
«I'll let your father do the hard work today,» she said before pecking the girl's hair.
Scarlet beamed, all happy her mommy found a moment to greet her before sleeping.
«Okay, mommy. I will listen to you and let daddy tell me a story!»
Nate choked, glaring at the pup. She would let him? If she was the one who asked! Scarlet made it sound as if she was listening to the story because of Lara, and not just because of the story.
His pup sure knew how to take advantage of the situation.
«Good night, mommy's girl.»
«Good night, mommy!»
