Viona's POV
Rafael hooked an arm around each boy's waist and lifted them both up, one on each side. Reece squirmed with an irritated scowl while Roey tried to reach for Reece's mouth.
"Stop. Roey, stop it. You'll hurt your brother." Rafael shot Roey a firm look, and Roey pulled his hand back.
"But he keeps talking and making Vae scared and sad."
Rafael turned to Reece. They stared at each other, equally smug.
"Reece, I'm not lying. Want to see the proof?"
With Reece and Roey tucked under each of his arms, Rafael strode to the sofa and sat across from me. Once he settled and set my boys on his lap, Reece struggled, then managed to break free. He trotted over and sat beside me, while Roey stayed put on Rafael's lap.
Apparently, Reece still couldn't stand being close to Rafael, always wary of him.
