Chapter 107

“Every good deed counts, Emmett. When you grow up, you’ve got to be the kind of guy who helps out, you know? Lending a hand to someone else is like helping yourself.”

“Uh–huh. I will be a good boy, Mommy.”

Elysia chuckled, “Let’s put today’s drama behind us, okay? When we see Blossom and your brothers later, let’s not bring this up, alright?”

Elysia didn’t want Blossom or Elliot and Evan to get upset over something that had already happened.

Emmett scrunched up his little forehead and reluctantly nodded. He was still itching to tattle to his big bros, have them cook up a scheme to get back at those who’d wronged Mommy, but once Mommy said no, he knew he couldn’t squeal. He had to listen to Mommy; he had to be her sweet boy.

Elysia smiled and playfully pinched Emmett’s tiny nose. “You’re the best, kiddo. Mommy’s going to hit the restroom. You need to go?”

“Nope.”

*How about you come with me, then? I don’t want to lose you.”

“No way, that’s embarrassing. I’ll wait out here for you.”

“Okay, then. Don’t wander off, you hear?”

“Mm–hmm.”
