The warmth enveloped Adelyn, and she couldn't hold back her smile.
Her hand gently caressed Eira's soft hair, her fingers moving gently, combing through her silky locks.
"Mama missed Little Eira too." She smiled warmly. "Come here. Let Mama see ... has my baby had her meals well today?"
The little girl immediately took a small step back before lifting her chin proudly to meet Adelyn's eyes.
"Mama, Eira finished all her breakfast just like you asked."
She proudly raised one finger.
"And then Eira ate all her lunch too."
Another finger.
"In the afternoon, Eira even took her nap."
Finally, she clasped her tiny hands together.
"And only after waking up, Eira waited for Mama to come home."
Adelyn listened patiently to every single report before her smile softened even further. "Then you sure have been a good girl."
She bent down slightly.
"Here ... Mama has a reward for you."
Leaning closer, she gently pressed a kiss against Eira's soft cheek.
