Lewis didn’t say anything more and turned to leave.

Frankie frowned and said, “Lewis, how could you be so ungrateful? You….”

fierce countenance just now made Frankie realize he wasn’t one to be trifled with.

Her heart became tender.

Seeing that Lewis was only wearing a black shirt, she picked up the little puppy. “Let’s go.”
