Beautiful like a rose 🌹 but... fragile like a bomb 💣

Cap 114

Massimo: (kissing the little one on the cheek) It's okay princess, you'll be able to pronounce these words when you grow up a little bit more!

Even we couldn't pronounce them when we were your age.

Laura: Now it's really time to go to bed.

Maya: But mommy, I can't sleep!

Laura: Maya please, it's late already!

Maya looking in Massimo's direction without saying a word.

Massimo: (understanding the little one's concern) I'll be here tomorrow morning when you wake up!

Maya: (smiling) You promise!

Massimo: I give you my word!

After the little girl says good night to Olga and Domenico, she goes to the bedroom with Laura and Massimo.

When they were in front of the bedroom door, Laura took Maya from Massimo's arms and said:
Laura: My love, what do you said to Massimo?

Maya: Good night, Massimo! Rest well and dream with angels!

Massimo: (smiling) I will surely rest very well, because I will dream with the most beautiful angel in the all world!

Laura says goodbye to Massimo and opens the bedroom door to enter the room, but is stopped by little Maya.

Maya: Mommy, wait! I thought of something!

Laura: What idea did come in your mind this time, Miss?

Maya: Like every evening first you give me a bath, then you get in the shower too!

I was thinking how would it be if Massimo read me a story while you are in the shower?

Laura: Maya....

Maya: Think mommy! It's a brilliant idea! Didn't you say it was long past my bedtime?

If Massimo reads me a story while you're in the shower, that means I'll fall asleep faster than if I wait until you get out of the shower and only then read the story to me.

I just found the ideal solution to fall asleep faster as you wish!

Laura looks at her daughter not knowing how to react.

Massimo: ( smiling ) You are a very smart little girl! I would be more than happy to read you a story tonight! But mommy , need to agree!

Maya and Massimo look at Laura with an innocent puppy look.

Laura: ( smiling ) What chance do I have to refuse? You are 2 against 1 ?

Okay, Massimo can read you a bedtime story tonight!

Maya: Yuppie, love you mommy!

Laura gives the little one a bath, and helps her put on her pajamas.

Maya: (while jumping on the bed) Mommy, Mommy, call Massimo, tell him I'm ready!

Laura: My love, don't jump anymore please!

Come here and let me dry your hair. I don't want you to catch a cold!

Maya: (ignoring her mother) Call Massimo! Please, please!

Laura: (in a serious tone) Maya, calm down!
Massimo has already promised to come! You just know that he always keeps his promises!

You know the rules and you know that when you don't listen to me, there are consequences!

Now please sit here and let me dry your hair!

Seeing that her mother spoke to her in such a serious tone, the little girl understood that she had exceeded the limit, so she sat properly on the edge of the bed.

Maya: I'm sorry mommy! I don't want to upset you!

Laura was getting ready to dry the little girl's hair, but there was a knock at the door.

Which causes a huge smile to appear on Maya's face!
