Chapter 39 What Else Do You Want?

"Daddy!"

Theodore's eyes flickered.

He thought Adrienne was awake. Unexpectedly, she merely glanced at him absentmindedly. She pouted before turning on her side to close her eyes again. Shortly after, he heard her snore before she started breathing quietly again. Theodore was somewhat relieved.

He found it hilarious that the little girl was sleeping soundly. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed that the little boy on the sofa was up.

The little girl was murmuring in her sleep, and she woke her brother.

"You're awake?" Theodore sat upright on the bed and stared at Alastair. There was only a short, fluffy grey rug between them.

"Yeah." Alastair's eyes were unfocused, and he seemed a little drowsy.

A child his age would have yawned and gone back to sleep. Yet, Alastair checked his watch, and he was wide awake when he looked up again. "It's late. I need to go back with Adrienne." Theodore nodded. "Let's wait for her to wake up."

Alastair glanced at his sister, who was sleeping soundly next to Theodore.

Theodore spotted the hesitation in Alastair's eyes and pointed out, "You haven't eaten, right? I've ordered some food, so you can eat now if you're hungry. After Adrienne wakes up, I'll send you back home." After a few moments, Alastair nodded and hummed in response.

The lounge was connected to the office. There was an array of food placed on the coffee table. Earlier, Moses ordered dinner, but the children were fast asleep. Hence he did not want to wake them. Theodore had yet to have his dinner too. He was worried that he would wake Adrienne. Thus he went to the office with Alastair to eat.

Evidently, the boy was more mature than his peers. He was quiet and solemn. According to Moses, Alastair stayed with his sister the entire afternoon. It seemed like he could not be bothered with anything but his sister. "You should eat more." Theodore cut half of the steak on his plate and gave it to Alastair.

"Thank you."

Theodore recalled what happened at Selena's birthday party. Back then, Alastair asked him for help calmly, and he was a little confused.
