me look at Nina. She just laughed in her sleep-I don’t know what sweet dream she’s having.”
Amelia gently urged Benjamin to look at Nina.
When Benjamin glanced over, Nina let out another sleepy giggle with her eyes still closed.
The sight was impossibly cute.
Benjamin watched her for a long moment, then reached out with his large hand and gently stroked her soft cheek.
Her skin was smooth and tender-perfect to touch.
The family of three looked warm and peaceful together
In Trevor’s room, Nelson had also woken up.
He rarely slept with his father, so he stayed quiet and simply lay there gazing at him.
Trevor usually took a long time to calm down after an episode.
But this time, with Nina there, he had passed through it unusually smoothly.
While Nelson was quietly watching him, his father slowly opened his eyes. His voice was slightly hoarse as he spoke, “Awake?”
Nelson nodded. “Yeah, Daddy.”
Father and son looked at each other. Trevor lowered his gaze to his son, unsure what to say.
He so rarely spent time with Nelson that he couldn’t find a topic.
The silence stretched between them-but it didn’t last long. On the other side of the house, Nina had woken
The moment she opened her eyes, she was fully charged.
After Amelia washed her face, brushed her teeth, and changed her clothes, Nina was bursting with energy again. She marched over and started banging on the door.
“Nelson! Daddy… Trevor!”
After calling out “Daddy” once, Nina suddenly remembered Benjamin’s warning from earlier.
Benjamin had told her that if she called anyone else “Daldy” again, he’d bring Randall to “chat” with her.
Nina had been pretty scared of Randall lately.
She quickly corrected herself. Her chubby little hand banged on the door even harder.
The door soon opened.
Nelson rolled over in his small wheelchair to greet her.
Nina walked in with her hands clasped behind her back, looking every bit like a tiny leader inspecting her domain.
Trevor had already changed clothes and was brushing his teeth and washing his face.
When he saw Nina come in, he didn’t try to shoo her away.
He had already experienced firsthand how impossible she was to get rid of.
He knew chasing Nina away wouldn’t work.
And after last night’s episode, he also knew that Nina had somehow calmed him down.
He couldn’t explain it and didn’t intend to dwell on it or ask questions.
“Nelson, eat brekfast?”
Nina didn’t ask to play this time. She wandered around the room while inviting Nelson to come eat.
Nelson was about to agree when Nina suddenly stopped in her tracks.
