Two types of brothers

Lara observed her fiance and their daughter with a keen eye. Something was going on, with those two.

Nate was proud of his daughter. So much that his chest was swollen and his eyes shining every time he glanced at her. As a result, even though she likely had no idea why, Scarlet was proud of herself.

It was funny to look at, and Lara hoped it didn't backfire later.

She loved when her kids and boyfriend went along, even if she didn't know the reasons every time. It was fine if they had their secrets, and she was content they had accepted each other so much.

She turned to Jaden, worried he would feel jealous of his sister, but the little boy was calm. He was eating his portion, smiling at his mommy and requiring simple attention like cutting his beef or cleaning his face from food.

He had been a perfect gentleman, that morning at the gallery. She was also so proud of him, but it was sort of normal.
