Chapter 149

Nate was gently roused from his sleep by the sound of hushed conversation. Blinking his eyes open, he called out softly, “Daddy…”

Brian’s stern face softened, and he bent down, caressing Nate’s cheek, “I’m here, buddy.”

“Where’s Natalie?” Nate looked around, not finding Natalie, and asked with a puzzled

expression.

“She’s on set, filming.” Brian darkened his eyes again at the mention of Natalie.

“Feeling okay? Tell Dad if you’re not,” Brian gently took Nate’s small hand in his own, asking

with concern.

“I’m fine.” Nate replied. Then he buried his face a few times in the spot where Natalie had slept the night before. It smelled good. Natalie always had this faint, pleasant scent that was just irresistible.
