Chapter 135: Little White's Innocent Wish
"Sweetheart, is there something you need?" Atasha asked, her attention snapping back to the present. She cradled the tiny snake in her lap, her fingers gently stroking its scales.
Atasha studied her daughter, a question mark etched on her face. This little one usually preferred to curl up and sleep rather than join their lively chatter.
"I-I… I love mommy the most," the little snake stuttered, her hiss barely above a whisper. Atasha's heart swelled with joy. "Oh, my little slithering sweetheart, mommy loves you to the moon and back," she cooed, planting a gentle kiss on her scaly head and wrapping her in a tender hug, careful not to squeeze too tight.
Only to be pummeled down in a trice. "But I want to be like Papa someday," the little snake murmured, her beady eyes sparkling with determination. She was referring to Zethus, her father.
