Chương 132: Unfair treatment

After lunch, Melanie Woods praised the pups for their table manners. Nate sat silent and sulking, annoyed that the twins suddenly knew how to eat well. After the mess they made the first time they ate together, he couldn't imagine they would be good and proper in front of his mother. All to make Lara look good, of course.

She cut a slice of apple cake for everyone, chuckling when Samantha and Nate reacted just like when they were pups.

«It's been so long since the last time,» Samantha commented. «I've always loved your cakes, aunty!»

Nate nodded, but he didn't add anything. He was silent that day.

Why were the pups liking his mother more than him? It was unfair, and he had done much more for them! He was their father: he deserved a little love as well.
