Chapter 34: Fighting Spirit

*Kisara*

My baby giggled as I changed his diaper. "Aww, aren't you a bubbly one?"

"Goo!" Naotaro said, stretching his tiny hands toward me.

I picked him up and snuggled him. "Aww. What a cutie!"

*Knock, knock*

I put little Naotaro back down in the bed. "That's probably your Daddy! Mommy will be right back!"

He sniffed and began to cry.

"Aww? What's wrong, baby? Miss Mommy?" Although, this was different from whenever I dropped him off at my aunt's place. He seemed almost, scared.

I stared at the windows. Nobody was on the other side, but I couldn't be sure. Was the one at the door not Uneri?

The sound of creaking made me hug my son tighter. Wasn't this place a four-star hotel? Why would it have creaky floorboards?

I took a deep breath. Something definitely felt amiss. Uneri had already taken a long time to return. Had something happened to him like he feared?
