บท 177: Combing can be painful

Lara stumbled into the kitchen by chance. She was clothed and ready to go, but her gaze was still a little lost.

«Have you seen Scarlet?» she moaned while stepping in.

When she saw the girl, relaxedly eating cookies with no worry in the world, she snorted and marched to her. Moreover, still in pyjama and her hair messy.

«You need to get ready, Scarlet! You can eat later!» she exclaimed before grabbing her from the chair.

«Hey,» Nate butted in.

He couldn't understand whether his mate was still sleepy or not. For sure, she did look like that.

«Sit down; have some coffee,» he continued. «Scarlet and I will get ready meanwhile. Take your time, Lara. We are not late.»

«No?» she said, surprised. She gazed at the clock but gave up on making a sense of it. She would think about it after the coffee.

Nate moved the chair for her, holding her hand while she sat down. He pecked her fingers before turning to Scarlet and winking at the girl.
