YM778.TV Chapter 133 - Can't Split Mommy In Two
They moved their eyes from each other to Melanie, waiting for her to solve every problem in a moment. The woman chuckled, wondering if Alpha\'s kids could be so territorial even in their early childhood. Her son hadn\'t been like that.
«She can have her own room,» Melanie said.
She wasn\'t expecting such a problem. Weren\'t Nate and Lara going to use the same room? Oh, the kids didn\'t look willing to accept their father as a substitute for Lara.
«What if our mommy is sad to be alone?»
«Oh, she won\'t,» Melanie sighed. «Let\'s go check your rooms first. Then, we will figure something out. You two are growing up: it\'s time to sleep in your own bed.»
«Do we need to?» Scarlet muttered, strolling inside and checking the room. It was spacious, the furniture wasn\'t too intruding. The walls were painted in light azure, and the window strategically allowed the natural light to fill the room. The bed was spacious, enough for her and her mommy to sleep on it. Maybe even for Jaden, if they settled.
There was a collection of video games on a bookshelf, along with a televisor. Scarlet couldn\'t know it yet, for she had never seen how video games were turned on. Every time she could play in Nate\'s office, everything was already prepared before she arrived.
Under the window, a sofa hosted a group of teddy bears and other animals, soft and of the best qualities. The dolls were placed in order so that Scarlet could see them all and decide which to play with.
«You can fill the wardrobe with your clothes later,» Melanie explained. «I didn\'t know your measurements, but we can go shopping together or call a tailor to come here... Oh, if you don\'t like the toys, we can find others...»
Scarlet sensed the slight nervousness in the woman\'s voice, even though she didn\'t know much about it. She looked at her from below, wondering why that woman cared so much.
«The toys are pretty,» she said, taking her hand and pulling her to the sofa. «What is your favourite?»
«My favourite?» Melanie asked, letting the girl guide her.
She checked that Jaden was exploring discreetly without touching anything from his sister\'s room, and she sat down looking at the various dolls.
«I like rabbits,» Melanie decided in the end.
«I do too! I also like kittens,» Scarlet replied, finding a black cat in the mountain of teddy bears. «This reminds me of my mommy.»
She turned the teddy cat around, looking at the fine details.
«It\'s also so pretty,» she added. «Just like my mum.»
Melanie sighed, wondering if the kids would be so straightforward and blunt in front of Nate as well. Hearing praises about his mate from other people wasn\'t as pleasant for territorial wolves...
«Lets... Ehm, let\'s go see Jaden\'s room, okay? We can come back here later to play, right?» Melanie said, realising she couldn\'t conquer her grandchildren\'s hearts with barely a few toys. It was a mystery how Samantha succeeded, but she suspected it was all because she knew how to praise Lara.
«Do I also have this many dolls?» Jaden asked, following the other two out and opening the door to his room. He never had one for himself, and that was the first thing Nate offered when they met. It should mean that a room was something very useful, even if he didn\'t see much of its value.
«No, but I hope you\'ll like it,» Melanie replied. «I\'ve asked your aunt what you like. Oh, and your father too. Nate said you like puzzles, Jaden.»
«It\'s true. But why are you doing all of this?»
«Because I\'m your grandmother. It\'s my job to spoil you a little.»
«Is it?»
«Oh, yes.»
«You\'re Nate\'s mommy, right?» Scarlet asked, tugging her sleeve to attract her attention. «Why is he letting you stay with us? Isn\'t he worried we\'ll steal you?»
«I don\'t think he cares that much. Also, you two will certainly steal my heart,» she chuckled.
She didn\'t say out loud that it might have been part of Nate\'s plan to have some time alone with the twins\' mother.
«What does he want from our mommy when he has his?» Scarlet continued, furrowing her brows.
Jaden\'s room was similar to Scarlet\'s in dimensions and furniture disposition. The walls were greenish, in that one, and there was a big, soft carpet and a lower table filled with puzzles and games of many kinds. It was supposed to be a place where Jaden could play in peace and, at the same time, spacious enough for when his friends would visit. The window was there too, but there was no sofa under it. Instead, one of the sides reached the floor, creating a french window.
There was a terrace on the other side, but Melanie had locked it for safety. However, one could look at the scenery without struggles. The view of the trees could help with relaxing.
It was then that Jaden and Scarlet saw their parents walking hand in hand. They glued their noses on the glass, forgetting about Melanie in front of that danger: they got distracted for a moment, and Nate was already stealing their mommy.
«He\'s fast,» Jaden pouted.
«Oh, we need to think of something to stop him before it\'s too late.»
«We can\'t, Scarlet. He\'s stronger than us...»
«Maybe if we make mommy realise how bad he is...»
«And how are you going to do that?»
«I don\'t know yet,» the girl moaned.
Her desperate expression made Melanie burst out laughing.. She was invisible for those two troublemakers, but their faces were so solemn that she couldn\'t help but laugh.
