The next morning when I woke up, the first thing I did was head out to find a certain someone. I stealthily climbed out of bed without either Isabella or Selthia noticing. My neck was sore, which told me Isabella must've woken up for a midnight snack. I hardly noticed anymore.
As for Selthia, she proclaimed that she would not be beaten by Isabella, so she practically slept on top of me, cutting off most of the circulation in my body. Maybe that was why I didn't feel Isabella nibbling on me.
I spotted the person I was looking for the moment I went downstairs. She was dutifully doing the chores while humming a nice tune. The moment she saw me, a kind smile appeared on her face.
"Uh, Liam, good morning."
"Good morning, Kaela. I hope you slept well after what happened last night."
"Oh, uh, yes…" she responded a little awkwardly. "I'm sorry again about how Kaelen and Lyanna acted. It's just that they are a bit broken up over what happened to our father."
