CEO's Runaway Mate and Her Cubs

Chapter 365: Breakfast with daddy

Lara woke up with a weird feeling. She felt warm on one side but cold and alone on the other. Where was one of her cubs?

She opened her eyes and sat on the bed, searching for either of the two. And she found them both, oddly on the same side. They were nestled one next to the other, sleeping diagonally because their feet and bottoms were in contact with her, but their heads were... Next to Nate.

She rubbed her eyes, using the little morning light filtered by the curtains.

«Hmm?» she moaned, still half-asleep. It was a dream, most likely.

However, it was a good dream. Seeing her kids accepting their father to such a decree warmed her heart, and she returned to sleep with no worries. Even if it was a dream, she still felt tired. Good thing she had time to rest.

Only after waking up a second time did she realise it hadn't been her imagination. Not at all.

Nate was there. And the cubs, too: in the same exact position. They hadn't moved for the whole night, except for changing sides and finding Nate. Or being carried there by Nate, more logically.

«Oh, how sweet,» she commented. Nate wanted to sleep with them!

Giggling happily, she left the bed and collected her clothes. She had time to prepare breakfast and wake her family up with some food. It was the best way for them to start the day.

Nate must have been exhausted if he slept longer than her, so she took the chance to take care of him, as well.

She cooked some eggs, vegetables, and bacon. Mostly bacon.

Just like when Nate came back from the battle, she felt the need to take care of him and make sure he was safe and happy. Other than cooking, she wanted to hug him, kiss him... Do all those things she had done before. Continue reading on m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net

However, with the cubs on their bed, she had to keep her wishes for later.

«Good morning,» she said while walking back with a trail filled with food. She had packed everything on it, and it was rather heavy. She left it on the bedside table before walking to the window and opening the curtains. The light flew in and woke the three snoring wolves.

They blinked, confused, and sat up on the bed. Nate was the first, like usual, followed by his sleepy pups.

Scarlet crawled on the bed and circled around Nate, sitting on his other side and hugging him. She leaned her head on him and closed her eyes, intending to sleep more.

Jaden, on the other hand, rubbed his eyes and yawned for a whole minute under his mommy's amused grin.

Her cubs were so cute while waking up! She hadn't been so vigil before them in a long time. So much, that she had forgotten how they looked and how much time it took them to accept the idea that sleep was over.

«Hey, breakfast,» she said.

At that word, three pairs of eyes stopped on her. Two were still sleepy, but their attention was all on her.

«Food,» Nate said, all happy.

He beamed, and Lara couldn't help but walk back to the trail. If Nate smiled like that, she had no choice but to give in to him and deliver breakfast to her starving family.

The twins sat up straight, observing the food with famished eyes, while Nate got ready to feed them. He knew they would assault the dishes the moment Lara put them down, but staining the sheets was out of the question! They should learn how to behave.

«Sit down,» he said.

To his surprise and under Lara's proud gaze, they sat straight and waited, looking at Nate with their eyes open wide. Were they trying to look cute in exchange for food?

Nate chuckled, shaking his head. There was no need to act; he was going to feed them. Yet, they were cute.

«Let me cut the food first,» he said, preparing a few bites for them. He cut a few pieces and placed them on their plates, both plates. He couldn't cut fast enough, and the twins would devour their portion and return looking at him.

Lara had cooked that food, yet Nate was delivering it. For that reason, they looked at him with shining eyes.

Receiving all their attention while they were half-sleepy made him melt. He didn't eat because he was busy feeding them.

He could understand how Lara didn't think twice every time she renounced something in their favour. Their happy faces would make him forget hunger. And any other negative feelings.

He smiled at Lara and noticed her red face. She was watching them carefully, and her teeth were nibbling on her lower lip.

Nate blinked, forgetting to cut a piece for Scarlet. The little girl poked his arm, urging him to continue the breakfast operation. It lasted a few seconds only because he couldn't leave his little girl hungry.

However, Lara's expression didn't get out of his mind even after he had moved his eyes away. Did she feel the need to blush while watching him take care of the kids?

Oh, was that it? If he knew it earlier, he would have done that more often and since the beginning. He had overlooked his kids when meeting Lara again, and he would often do so even later. But knowing that Lara liked seeing him be a good father as much as to bite her lips... He could try a little harder.

«Aren't you two full by now?» he murmured at some point. There were just two slices of bacon left and an egg.

He cut those as well, his heart crying because he couldn't eat a single bite. Yet, he couldn't think of taking it away from the twins.

Once finished eating, they smiled at him and got out of bed.

«Where are you going?» he inquired.

«Mommy always says we have to brush our teeth after eating,» Jaden replied.

«Oh, right.»

Nate sat on the bed, dumbfounded and hungry. What kind of trap was that? They had used him for their purposes - cutting their food - and then left like nothing.
