The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 872

Chapter 872

Since both Halsey and Bella were girls, Shaum politely stepped out of the room after bringing them inside.

Halsey adjusted Bella’s clothies and said, “Come in.”

Shaum walked back in.

Bella grinned. “Is Shaun sleeping with us tonight?”

Halsey shook her head. “Of course not.”

“Why not?” Bella asked.

Halsey kissed her cheek. “Because you’re a girl, and girls shouldn’t sleep with any man except their daddy. It’s a private rule for us girls.”

Bella nodded, though not fully understanding. “Mommy taught me that, too.”

Halsey handed Shaun a storybook. “I’m going to shower. You read Bella a story.”

Shaun took the book. “Got it.”

As Halsey headed to the bathroom, she glanced back. Bella was tucked in bed, while Shaun lounged against the headboard, reading to her in his deep, smooth voice. He was surprisingly good at telling fairy tales.

And he was so patient with kids.

A small smile curved Halsey’s lips before she disappeared into the shower. By the time she came out, Bella was fast asleep.

“She’s out?” Halsey whispered.

Shaun set the book aside and pulled the blanket over the little girl. Yeah, sound asleep.”

Halsey towel–dried her damp hair. “Well, you can head to the guest room now.”

Shaun grabbed her wrist and tugged her down onto his lap. “Are you kicking me out?”

“Obviously,” she said.

“Can I stay here tonight? I’ll take the couch.”

Halsey raised an eyebrow. “You’d rather sleep on the couch than a real bed?”

“Because you’re here.”

He kissed her.
