Painful daughter

The crisis over the picture didn't last long because Nate and Scarlet started praising Lara. She was so cute as a kid, they would say.

Scarlet wanted a similar dress even if it was so far from her actual tastes. Jaden just observed his sister with a frown and reached his mother. He sat on her lap and hugged her for comfort, realising the other two were too focused on the wrong thing to notice how his mommy was worried.

He couldn't understand why his mommy felt like that, but he would have comforted her just as she did with them when they were little.

Meanwhile, father and daughter had temporarily forgotten about any restraint.

«Daddy, don't I resemble my mommy?» Scarlet asked, putting the picture next to her face. «We are so alike.»

Nate laughed, striving to find any similarity other than their hair. Scarlet was too similar to him. Even as a girl, she resembled him more than Jaden.
