[Order]
The day had been hectic, with Atlas and his brothers leaving early because of what happened to Charles, and then Izu and his team deploying out of the Order. Lola still hadn't heard back from Haji or Scarlet, and it worried her.
On top of that, the investigation and questioning regarding the small cult in their territory were still ongoing. It was just Lola and Allen supervising everything. The others were helping, but the workload was overwhelming.
"Mommy."
Lola snapped out of her thoughts at the sound of Second's voice. When she refocused, her gaze landed on the twins, already ready for bed. She smiled softly at them.
"Sorry," she hummed, reaching out to ruffle his hair. "Mommy's a little distracted. Bedtime stories?"
Her smile faded slightly when the twins shook their heads. "Why?"
"Mommy, we don't want bedtime stories tonight," Chacha hummed. "We want Mommy to stay with us."
"Daddy left today because of Grandpa. Is he fine?" Second asked.
