Chapter 1421

"Sweetheart, why are you standing here alone?" Nina quickly walked over, scooping Orion up in her arms. "Did you need something?" Orion looked up at her. "Mom, Dad, I just wanted to play with you. But if you're busy, it's okay. I'll just watch cartoons by myself."

No matter how late Dad came home, he would always change out of his work clothes and spend time playing with him and his sister. But tonight, Dad had gone straight to the bedroom with Mom, and while Orion wanted to be with them, he was afraid of interrupting. "We've finished everything we needed to do, so let's go." Nina held him close and headed downstairs, with Nash following close behind. The three of them sat on the couch, laughing and chatting. Gemma, who was passed from one to the other for a cuddle, eventually fell asleep in Orion's lap.

Orion sat as still as possible, afraid even a small movement might wake her up.

"Sweetheart, why don't you let Mommy put your sister down in the bassinet?" Nina gently reached out to take Gemma from Orion. Though she was still tiny, holding her for long was a lot for a little boy.

But Orion shook his head, clutching his sister even tighter. "No, Mom. Just a little longer, please."

He looked down at Gemma's soft, chubby cheeks, rosy and round, completely enchanted. She had grown so much more adorable since the day she was born, and each day he found himself more captivated by her.
