Elsie and Lorianne remained in Nathaniel's apartment even after Michelle and Tristan left. Laughter still lingered in the corners of the rooms from the hearty gathering that had just ended.
Nathaniel carried the sleepy Lorianne in his arms while Elsie closed the door. They would sleep in his apartment tonight instead of returning to her unit.
"Good night, my dear," Elsie gently kissed Lorianne's face, she gently stroked the little one's head, "Don't forget to brush your teeth. Sleep well."
"Night, Mommy..."
Nathaniel chuckled seeing how sleepy Lorianne was. He said, "I'll tuck her in bed. Don't clean up by yourself. I'll help you."
"Get her to bed first," Elsie smiled. She patted Nathaniel's back.
Tonight would be the second time Lorianne slept at Nathaniel's apartment. Fortunately, she didn't show any sign of restlessness during the first time the other day.
Nathaniel brought Lorianne to the bathroom. He gently squeezed her cheeks after lowering her down to the floor.
