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."
