Love Unspoken

Chapter 1592

Alexander scooped up Sprout and whisked him away, while Briar got busy cleaning up the sand to make sure Sprout wouldn't come back to play in it later. Alexander took Sprout to the bathroom, shut the door, and started running the water to keep him from bolting.

When Sprout saw the water filling up the tub, he pouted.

Alexander undressed him and plopped him into the tub. Sprout wasn't having it and started thrashing around in his arms.

One of his kicks landed square on Alexander's chest, making him wince. He grabbed onto the tub but still ended up sitting on the floor.

Sprout broke free, pouting and glaring at him.

Alexander clutched his chest, his face scrunched up in pain, his fingers gripping the edge of the tub.

Sprout stared at him for a bit, probably realizing he might've gone too far. He squatted down, looking up at Alexander.

Feeling a bit guilty, Sprout mumbled something.

Alexander took a moment to catch his breath before looking up at him.

Sprout put his hands behind his back, giving Alexander those big, wide eyes.

Alexander sighed, picked him up, and put him back in the tub. This time, Sprout didn't put up a fight. He stood there, holding onto the edge, letting Alexander scrub him down. Seeing him so compliant, Alexander couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He might've just found a new trick.

From bathing to getting dressed, Sprout was super cooperative. When it was time to put on his sleeves, he even knew to stick his hand through the hole.

Alexander thought, 'This kid's actually pretty smart, just a bit of a handful.'

Quinn was surprised at how quick the bath was, twice as fast as usual.

"Why so quick today?" Quinn asked.
