Dominick returned from the private airport after seeing off Gabriel and Casaio in the private jet. He went straight to find Amelie and found her in the large corridor where she stood by the open gallery, showing Noah the serene beauty of the night sky.
Noah was held securely in her arms, his tiny finger pointing at the crescent moon as he gurgled happily, mesmerized by the light.
Dominick paused, a genuine smile softening the lines of worry on his face as he watched the peaceful sight. He approached slowly, stopping a careful distance from them. Ashna, the attendant, dipped her head in a swift bow, while Amelie turned.
"Brother Nick, you returned," Amelie said, the breeze gently ruffling the edge of her long skirt.
"Yes. And Gabriel explicitly asked me to tell you this: Do not go anywhere alone, even when you are within the palace walls."
Amelie chuckled softly, her eyes holding a touch of distant sadness even as she kept a firm, protective hold on Noah. "That’s so typical of him," she murmured, finding comfort in the routine nature of his worry.
"I heard about Juniper’s family," Amelie said as she referenced the difficult subject. "Her brothers used her account to fund the Betas. Are you still interrogating them?"
"Yes, I am," Dominick confirmed, his jaw muscle twitching tightly with poorly concealed anger. "I can’t believe this was happening right around me. I never once truly saw any of their real faces." The admission was laced with professional failure and deep personal frustration.
Amelie shifted Noah slightly in her arms. "Brother Nick, about June, are you truly hoping to end things?" she asked, her tone gentle but probing. "I know she made some very terrible mistakes, but as Gabriel told me that she was an orphan, I believe something terrible must have happened for her to act like this."
"Should I carry Noah for some time since we are having this serious talk?" Dominick offered, slightly extending his arms. He saw Noah’s huge, sparkling eyes were fixed on him, seemingly fascinated by the conversation.
"Yes, why not?" Amelie agreed easily, carefully transferring the warm weight of the baby. Noah settled effortlessly into his second uncle’s arms, immediately comfortable. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
"I’m your Uncle Nick, Noah," Dominick said, his face softening completely into a genuine smile for the pup. The young one simply gave him a wide, toothless smile in return before his tiny hand shot out and grabbed one of the ornate golden buttons on Dominick’s tunic, holding it fast.
"Give us some privacy," Dominick instructed Ashna. The attendant immediately bowed and quietly slipped away, leaving the gallery.
"Amelie, you’re too kind," Dominick said, watching her carefully. "I suppose Gabriel must be telling you this all the time."
