Capítulo 226: Changed

Alex paused and looked at her when Abi looked up. She blinked at him, her big beautiful eyes silently pleading him to continue reading. But Alex didn't give in and he slowly closed the book.

"Reading to you was a bad idea," he said. "You should be sleeping by now."

Abi pursed her lips. "But… the story is interesting. I want to know what happens next."

"But you need to sleep." He reached over and put the book on top of the bedside table. "It's time for you to sleep," he insisted and without waiting for her response, he slipped his body under the covers, facing her. "I'll read the continuation tomorrow night."

"Really?" Abi's eyes widened in surprise and excitement.

"I can read you a book every night if you want me to."

Abi's lips curved up into a big, bright smile before a soft cute chuckle left her mouth.
