Chapter 456: A matter of the soul

«Why does Jaden play with her?» asked Scarlet, pointing at Stella with her finger.

When Jaden had pushed the little girl behind him, willing to protect her, Scarlet's expression had turned even darker. What was happening?

«You can also play with her. You three can have fun together,» Lara tried.

However, she sat on the sofa. It was better to avoid leaving them alone, especially when she wasn't sure what exactly made Scarlet so wary of a baby. Was she jealous? Could it be so simple?

«Big brother will protect you, Stella,» Jaden said, holding the girl's hand.

Stella beamed, happy to have his attention. The darker expression on Scarlet's face made Lara understand she was most likely right.

Scarlet was jealous of her brother.

«You are not her brother!» she exclaimed, in fact.

How odd, though. It was as if Scarlet could sense something Lara couldn't. Was there some wolf magic going on?
