Their families had a good relationship with each other. Hence, he would see her almost every day. Old Mr, Russell adored her dearly and advised Dexter, “Leanne’s family is still new to the area.

“I don’t want to play with her.”

Dexter covered his ears and kept silent.

He took a deep breath and ran out of his house with two umbrellas. Before long, he saw Leanne carrying her bag and walking under the rain. Her hair and clothes were completely drenched. As she lifted her head, her eyes widened and sparkled with joy. When she realized Dexter wasn’t angry with her, she delightedly ran over to him, calling, “Dex!”
