Entering the living room, Charlotte Thompson watched as Justin Battleson was practically inseparable from Grace Thompson, and could not help but say in exasperation, "It's getting late, aren't you going to head back home?"
Hearing this, he lifted his gaze to her, a flicker of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Did Adam leave already?"
Charlotte nodded noncommittally in response.
However, Justin did not ponder on it for long. Lifting a single brow indifferently, he said, "I'm not leaving. Grace wants me to tell her stories."
Hearing this, Grace who was cradled in his arms, looked at him with a clueless expression. Just as she was about to say something, she caught her father shoot her a covert wink.
Grace glanced at Charlotte then at Justin, her intelligent little mind finally catching on. She laughed, patting Justin's arm heartily as she told Charlotte, "Yeah, Mommy, I still want to hear so many more stories."
