"Grace, if Phill tries to take your egg tart again, tell him not to take it and that you can share it with him, okay?"
"Oh, I'll try that next time. But if he still tries to take it, I'll drag him to the corner and beat him up!"
Amelia wanted to advise Grace not to be so violent, but she heard the teacher on the video call urging the children to take a nap.
"Auntie, I have to go take a nap with the teacher now. I'll talk to you later."
"Okay, go ahead."
After waving goodbye, Amelia hung up the video call and planned to go downstairs for a meal when she heard Frank say that Dominic had arrived...
She froze, gripping the handrail of the escalator. "Tell him I'm not here, say that I went to..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a deep and powerful voice came from outside the door. "What, are you afraid I'll eat you?"
Hearing his voice, Amelia realized she couldn't hide and had to turn around and go downstairs. "Mr. Evans, why are you here?"
Dominic, who had just bought a new cane, walked up to Amelia and tapped the ground with his cane. "I got your husband's approval."
