Clank—!
Closing the door behind me and entering the apartment, I was greeted by my mother's cheerful voice.
"Welcome back you two."
"We're back."
Lowering my body, Nola hopped down on the ground. In her mouth was a small lollipop.
"Mama!"
Like the traitor that she was, she immediately run in our mother's direction.
"Oh, my sweet Nola."
Grabbing her from the armpits, my mother picked Nola up from the ground and cuddled with her.
Rubbing her cheek against Nola's, I could hear Nola's heartful giggle come from the distance.
"Are you jealous, Ren?"
My mother teasingly asked.
"Jealous?"
I shook my head and scoffed.
"I'm not jealous."
The edges of my mom's lips curled upwards.
"Aww, that's cute."
Putting Nola down, she proceeded to extend her hands in my direction.
"Come here, mama will also give you attention."
"...I'm good."
