Daddy's Love novel Chapter 22

"What did she do, Grey?" I ask him again and that calms him down. Grey has a tendency to overreact as times.

Ana is still crying.

"Hey baby, let's get to to drink some water and then you can lie down beside Carol and take a nap, okay? You must be tired with all the crying." I tell Ana who ignores both of us.

I pick her up and go to the kitchen to get her a bottle of water. She is younger than Carol when she is on her headspace and that is why I don't want to give her a Sippy cup.

We come back with Ana in my arms in the couch. Grey turns around to leave, I presume.

"Don't you dare step out before you tell me what made you that mad." I tell Grey solemnly. He runs a hand through his hair but stays otherwise.

I put the bottle in Ana's mouth and she refuses to drink, pushing the bottle away lightly with her hands. I wonder what the sweet, docile girl did to get Christian's panties in such a twist.

"Come on Ana, only a little water. It'll make you feel so much better." She shakes her head.

"Only one sip? And then if you don't want to have anymore you can stop. Okay?"

She looks at me with teary eyes and nods.

"Such a good girl, my sweet Ana." I place the bottle in her mouth and once she starts she can't stop drinking. After, she calms down, stops crying and rubs her eyes.

"Uh huh, no rubbing your eyes cutie." I gently remove her hands.

"Let's tuck you in with Carol, huh, or do you want to sleep alone in my room?" I ask her picking her up.

"Carol, no alone. Scared." I smile at her.

"We will put you in with Carol. No getting scared." I kiss her cheek and put her beside Carol inside her crib and she falls asleep instantly.

I go back down to a distraught Grey.

"What happened?"
