469 [Bonus chapter]Uncles are a little useful

How unexpected.

Scarlet was sitting at the table, her hands wrapped at the edge and her eyes fixed on Renato, her new uncle. She was trying to look cute and, likely, to get some food earlier.

«Does it work on your mommy?» Renato asked, sincerely curious.

«Yes, it does,» Scarlet confessed. «Most of the time.»

«Oh, don't tell me... Does your father do that as well?»

«What?»

«Show his ears to get some attention.»

«My dad isn't this smart,» Scarlet said. «He doesn't know how to show his ears to my mommy to get food. But he does it sometimes to get a hug.»

The girl pursed her lips, utterly displeased.

«And he succeeds, right?»

«Yes,» she complained.

Renato chuckled, turning back to the stove and removing the fried meat from the pan. He left it on the table to cool but moved it soon enough when Scarlet tried reaching out to it and burned her fingers.
