Chapter 15 Lovely Nancy
Nancy noticed her father's gaze and looked at him.
James walked closer, "Nancy, do you only like your mom?"
James aired his grievance and jealousy, which made Windy burst into laughter.
Nancy said in a soft voice, "No. I also like Dad."
Nancy kissed James' cheek and buried her face in her mother's shoulders with shyness. She wore a sweet smile, her face flushing red, and her eyes gleaming.
Windy hugged Nancy and patted her back lightly. James was satisfied and kissed Nancy on the forehead, "Good night and sleep well, Nancy."
Nancy raised her head to look at James.
"Good night, Dad."
James left Nancy's room and sighed with a frown after closing the door. He wanted to spend the night together with his wife and daughter.
But James knew there should be no hurry to share the same room with Nancy.
Nancy had a bath with her mother. She wore her newly bought milky white pajamas with a hamster pattern and a front pocket.
Nancy stepped on the soft bed barefoot. She had fair skin, especially the part of her body that was not exposed to the sun. Even her small feet and little toes were lovely.
Windy pinched Nancy's small feet playfully. She tucked Nancy in and gently told a bedtime story.
In the lamplight, Nancy looked at Windy with a smile. Nancy moved closer to hug Windy, putting her face on Windy's belly. Gradually, Nancy fell asleep as Windy told stories in a gentle voice.
Nancy's head tilted to one side. Her belly rose and fell as she breatheed.
Windy gently put Nancy's head on the pillow and kissed her on the forehead. Then Windy turned off the lamp and slept cradling Nancy in her arms.
The next day, Nancy woke up at the usual time. She rubbed her eyes and sat up on the bed. Then Windy also awoke.
"Nancy."
Windy raised her hand to rub Nancy's head, "You don't have to get up so early. You can get more sleep."
Nancy still felt sleepy with her eyes half-closed. She yawned and lay down again. She curled up in her mother's arms and slowly closed her eyes.
Nancy fell asleep again and slept soundly.
Nancy didn't wake up when James walked into the bedroom at 7:30.
James said, "I will drive Adam to his school."
Windy patted Nancy who curled up next to her and nodded. Just as Windy was about to speak, Nancy opened her eyes.
"Mom."
Nancy just woke up, so she said in a small, lisping voice.
"Nancy, do you want to get more sleep?"
Nancy shook her head slowly, her hair sticking up. Then she looked at James and greeted him in a sweet voice.
James felt Nancy was so cute and swept her into his arms. Nancy still had a drowsy look.
James asked, "Are you sure you don't want to get more sleep?"
Nancy shook her head, which meant she had enough sleep.
James nodded, "Okay, I will accompany you to wash your face and brush your teeth, and then we have breakfast. Your elder brother is having breakfast now."
Nancy widened her eyes in surprise, "Adam got up so early."
Nancy thought Adam would sleep in.
James lifted Nancy above his head with a smile. Nancy exclaimed and laughed.
"Because your elder brother should go to school today."
After washing up, James, Windy and Nancy went downstairs to eat breakfast. Adam was eating bread with unhappiness written all over his face.
Nancy greeted everyone she saw sweetly.
"Good morning, Grandpa and Mr. Benjamin."
