Chapter 1280

"Henry, what are you doing kissing Daddy?"

Henry wrapped his little arms tightly around his dad's neck, snuggling in. "Daddy, book!"

"You want to read a book?" Andre asked, pulling one from the nightstand and letting his son flip through the pages.

Henry shook his head, "Book, Daddy."

Andre still didn't catch on: "What's up, buddy?"

Henry repeated himself, and this time Andre got it, "Ash has gone to bed, and it's about time you did too."

Before bed, Andre had to put his own book aside. He cuddled his son, helping him flip through his picture books, while his wife, tired from scrolling on her phone, drifted off under the covers.
