Damian wanted to say, "I love eating your mom the most," but to avoid setting a bad example for the child, he could only reply earnestly.
"Anything's fine."
"Talia, don't play in the water for too long, or you'll catch a cold," Bella Acker said. "Your uncle likes spicy peppers. Can you help him grill one?"
"Sure!" The little girl clapped her hands. "Uncle, if you eat the pepper I grill, you'll be my uncle for life!"
"Pfft!" Bella Acker and Sharon Cheney couldn't help but laugh at her words.
Damian's eyes also held a hint of amusement. "Sure, that's fine, but I already have someone I like. You don't mind, do you?"
Bella Acker's heart skipped a beat when she heard him say he already has someone he likes.
When Damian mentioned the person he liked, he glanced in her direction, and Bella immediately looked away, pretending to focus on washing vegetables.
