«You're not my uncle,» Scarlet said. «My uncle is taller and has black hair.»
«W-what uncle?» David said. «I am your mother's brother!»
Scarlet blinked, tilting her head.
«Are you sure?» she asked.
«Pretty much.»
«But you're not like my mommy,» she murmured. «And my uncle is tall and handsome. You're not him.»
David opened his mouth wide, surprised and hurt by that little thing. How dared she say something like that to her elders? Had they no manners in the Woods family?
«My daddy is also handsome,» she added. «And he works as a CEO.»
«I see... And where is your daddy now?» David asked.
Scarlet turned to Nate, who had silently gotten closer. He moved his arm as if to offer his hand to the little girl.
«Scarlet, come here,» he said.
