Chapter 215: Defusing A Bomb
Pushing out his wings, Chang Xuefeng leaped over the floor and landed right in front of Hattie. Dropping to his knees, his wings out to give them some semblance of privacy, he studied her face.
Something was wrong, and it had nothing to do with the Judge or the men they had brought into her home. Putting his hand on her shoulders, he gently shook her until she was paying attention to him.
"Where is your lollypop?" he asked, his voice soothing even as his wings flared out in agitation.
Holding up her right hand, Hattie showed him the banana flavored sucker. Good. That was her favorite. "Put it in your mouth," he instructed, and like a little puppet, she obeyed him.
"What were you doing before we came home?" he continued, studying her face and eyes. It was her eyes that gave her away. They seemed to be swirling with anxiety and sadness to the point where even the fucking house was reacting to her emotions.
"Napping," she replied with a nod as she sucked on the lollypop.
"Such a good girl," he praised as saw her shoulders drop at his words. "Napping is good. You go back to napping and Pride will come get you when it is time for dinner, or do you want the puppy?"
He had no idea if Hattie knew Tank was the hellhound in her current state of mind, but he figured it wouldn’t hurt. However, when she just shrugged her shoulders, he kissed her forehead.
"I don’t want to nap," she finally admitted. "I had a bad dream, and now I’m scared it’s going to come true."
