Chapter 41 Sharing A Hot Bath As A Family

As the sun began to dip below the horizon, a small but insistent voice started protesting for dinner. Ayu, having just woken up from a nap, stretched lazily before wandering groggily to Ladapha, who was sitting on the balcony reading a book.
• “Mama,” Ayu called softly.
• Ladapha set her book on her lap and turned to him with a warm smile.
