Capítulo 247: Jealous of Nate

The kids were sleeping soundly, tired after the relief of not being abandoned by their mommy. And by their dad, for that matter.

Lara and Nate could take a breath and focus on their own needs, for once.

«I'm glad the kids are so attached to you now,» Lara said, eyeing Nate's expression.

She was glad, sure. But how much?

He could feel something weird in her tone as if she was... lying? Uncertain?

«Are you worried, perhaps?»

«Not at all! I'm really so glad. I just felt jealous today,» she confessed. «But that's my own problem! Jaden needs someone to answer his questions, and he doesn't want to ask me for some reason. And Scarlet, well... I'm not really sure what made her act in that way, but it's good. Isn't it?»
