Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 178

She moves, smiles and kisses my cheek. “I close the door.”

My clever, sneet munchkin. I chuckle as I correct her. “It’s closed the door, honey.”

"Close,” she repeats it wrong again.

“Closed”

“Close”

I give up. I help her get inside the bathtub. It’s after she’s in that I realize that I miscalculated. How am I supposed to wash with only one hand? I’d been so focused on everything else that I completely forgot that one arm was in a cast.

Sighing, I debate on whether I should call Martha, but then after a while I decide against it. It can’t be that hard.

I start with her hair, as she tells me about her day. It takes a little bit longer than usual, but I manage. After that, I wash her body, just as slowly as I did with her hair. I drain the water before twisting the tap for more. She likes soaking and just playing with her toys so I let her sit for a while.

"Mommy,” she suddenly turns to me all serious.

“Yes, baby?”

“Where is daddy?”

My heart stops for a second as I try to process what she asked me. I’m frozen as I watch her wide green eyes staring at me, waiting for an answer.
