“No. He is already injured; that’s why I will sit on your back.” Roselet said, shaking her head. “And I also have to make sure that you’re safe.” She said.
“What the…”
“Shift quickly. We don’t have time. Daddy says to use your legs and mind instead of your mouth in the time of danger.” Roselet gave her a lecture. Ethlyn pressed her lips tightly and shifted in the next moment. She crouched so that Roselet could sit on her comfortably.
To keep Roselet involved in other things, Lemieux even got bandages at the pack hospital. All of a sudden, Roselet’s stomach growled loudly, reminding her that she hadn’t eaten anything for long.
“You can come home with me. The banana bread with a lot of chocolate chips is still there.” Ethlyn offered, recalling how Roselet couldn’t get a chance to eat at her home because of their conversation.
“Only if you will apologize to me for your rude behavior.” Roselet placed her condition even though she was hungry like hell.
Ethlyn narrowed her eyes but finally apologized, “I’m a sorry pup.”
“Hmm. You’re forgiven since it was your first mistake but remember; I won’t be easy on you if you will repeat the same mistake.”
“Okay, Mommmmm. Now, if you’re done, can we go to my dad’s house?” Ethlyn asked.
“Up!!” Roselet said, raising her hand.
“You can walk on your own.”
“I’m a BABY.” Roselet pouted. Hearing it, Lemieux raised his eyebrow; he was well aware of Roselet’s ‘BABY’ word to her benefit. Ethlyn lifted her in her arms and again felt a strong bond with her.

“So, how is banana bread?” Reva asked, caressing Roselet’s hair.
“It’s tasty.”
“I hope you learned that just because bananas were brown, It doesn’t mean it was rotten. It still tastes the same, and we can create tasty things out of it.” Reva said.
“Noooo. Banana bread is tasty because of chocolate chips.” Roselet said, on which Reva’s jaw dropped while a smile appeared on Ethlyn’s lips. It looked like this little pup had learned to shut everyone’s mouth.
“Okay, you won,” Reva said and leaned toward her. “By the way, I need your little help, Rose.”
“What kind of help?” Roselet asked.
“Your Zordy was saying that he will leave by tomorrow evening because he has to reach by Monday and also, you have school on Monday. Can you convince him to stay a day more, please?” Reva requested because she observed that Roselet was close to Zordan, and it didn’t look like he would say NO to Roselet’s request.
“Reva, don’t use her for getting your work done.” Ethlyn scolded her.
“I’m not using her. It’s just that I’m thinking of spending some time with him, and also, mom suggested that we can introduce him to all our family members by holding a small function tomorrow.” Reva suggested but hearing the name of ‘FUNCTION,’ Ethlyn recalled the embarrassment and insult that she faced on her pup’s gender-revealing function. Without saying anything, she left from there.
Reva looked at Roselet, who was already looking at her. “Rose, I’m not using you, okay? It’s just a request.”
“Don’t worry. I will convince him to stay a day more.” Roselet said with a smile. She knew with whom she had to talk about it.

“Daddddyyyyy”
“Yes, love!!” Calvin smiled, knowing that his love had a request for her.
“Can I stay here a day more?” She asked in a low tone, and immediately Calvin’s smile vanished from his lips. Only he knew how a day of 12 hours he spent was like 12 days. Since it was the weekend, he missed her like hell, and now she wanted to stay a day more.
“Don’t you miss me, love?” He asked.
“There wasn’t a second when I didn’t miss you, Calvin.”
“Then why do you want to stay there a day more? Do you now love your mommy more than me?” Calvin asked.
“I will always love the most in the world, daddy,” Roselet confessed. “Zordy found her mate, and they are keeping a function tomorrow night, so please allow him and me to stay here a day more. Please. Please.” Roselet requested. Zordan had already informed Calvin about him finding his fated mate and also her identity. But he didn’t inform Calvin about the function nor share his desire to stay a day more, maybe because he knew that Calvin needed Roselet like oxygen to his body.
“Fine. Just a day.” Calvin agreed without saying anything, knowing that even his daughter wanted to spend some more time with her mommy.
“Thank you. Thank you so much, Calvin. You’re the best.” Roselet screamed in excitement.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“I will die if you won’t be here the day after tomorrow.” Calvin emotionally blackmailed her so that she wouldn’t ask for ONE day more again.
“I promise I will be there,” Roselet promised him. “Now, tell me, how was your day?” She asked, to which Calvin told her everything, and after that, Calvin asked the same of Roselet. Since everyone had asked her not to tell him the incident of falling from the roof, she skipped that part.”
“Calvin, do you know that I had a twin brother as well? Just like you have Uncle Colton.” She informed, dropping a bomb on him.

A/N: The next couple of chapters would be like dropping a lot of bombs on both Calvin and Ethlyn, especially Ethlyn. As for now, in my head, the next chapters sound fantastic, but only god knows how I’m going to present them.
