Nate picked Scarlet from the kindergarten soon before lunch.
Jaden observed how his sister left holding hands with that man. He pouted until his mother appeared to collect him and go home.
He held Lara's hand while they walked back home, still unhappy about the situation.
«You don't need to be jealous,» Lara said, noticing his complicated mood. «Your father will spend some time with you in a few days.»
«I am not jealous. I am unhappy.»
«You have no reason to be,» she considered. «Your sister will be back this evening. As for your father, I told you he'll pick you up as well.»
«I don't need to spend time with him. Rather, Scarlet should stop being so easy to manipulate!»
«What?» Lara laughed at her son's words. «Where did you hear such words?»
«Is it important?»
«No, indeed...»
She sighed, wondering how to explain the situation to him.
Jaden, on the other hand, didn't need an explanation. He had noticed how his sister was being tame when Nate was around.
