She avoided the most important question. “Yeah, it went down! Uncle Louis gave me a ton of supplements when he dropped by earlier. I’ll have Ashton bring some home with him later.”
“That won’t be necessary. We’ve got lots of supplements here too, so you can keep those for yourself! Oh, by the way, you haven’t told me what you like to eat. I want to make you something!” I said with a chuckle.
“I’m not a picky eater, so I’m fine with anything you make. Don’t make too much of it, though. I won’t be able to finish it all if you do.”
“All right. I’ll keep that in mind!”
After getting off the phone, I began looking for a lunch box to store the food for Hannah and called out to Ashton, “Hey, Ashton! Could you come over here for a second?”
I heard footsteps behind me moments later, but I was so focused on looking for a lunch box that I didn’t bother turning around. “Ashton, do we have any lunch boxes here? I need one to store the food that you’ll be bringing over to Hannah later.”
I frowned when I heard no response from him and turned around, only to see that it was actually Cameron standing behind me.
She fumbled through the kitchen cabinet and let out a cry of surprise when she found one. “Ah! There’s one right here!”
She let out an awkward chuckle when she saw the look of confusion on my face and said, “Ashton has gone for a walk with your dad.”
“Oh, I see… Thanks.”
I took the lunch box over and began putting a meal together.
“Is there anything I can help you with?” Cameron asked from the side.
I shook my head and said coldly, “Nope, I’m good here. Thanks again.”
She went quiet after noticing the coldness in my tone.
After packing the food, I turned around and was surprised to see her still standing there.
