“You're such a good girl, Jovie! Of course, I’ll be going, too. I’ll protect both you and your mother!” Liam gazed tenderly at the little girl in his arms and stroked her hair once more.

Calum, who had been standing guard outside the room, smiled when. he heard Jovie and Liam’s laughter coming out from inside the room.
