章 282: Shiny gift

After singing a song to their mommy, Jaden and Scarlet walked out and let her dress. Nate also chuckled while accompanying them out, and he convinced the kids to wait for their mommy at the table.

Somehow, Lara was awake already, not sleepy like usual.

«Isn't my mommy so pretty on her birthday?» Jaden pointed out, still clenching his papers and walking behind Nate and Scarlet.

When they reached the stairs, the girl pulled Nate's sleeve until he bent down to pick her up.

He turned to Jaden and waited for the boy to stroll to him, and he carried him down as well. He was too busy looking at the present he had prepared for his mommy to walk down the stairs.

«Your mother is more than pretty,» Nate pointed out. «And not just at her birthday.»

«But today she's especially happy. And she's more beautiful than usual.»

«Is she?» Nate muttered. Too bad that he couldn't feel the difference.
