Charles, who hadn't particularly missed Caden since they'd seen each other the day before, nodded anyway, wanting to keep his nanny happy.
"Does that mean I'm still your favorite uncle?" Caden continued, holding him close.
Charles nodded again, knowing that Caden was technically his only uncle, but, of course he couldn't match the fondness he had for his wonderful nanny.
