Chapter 135

After speaking, Lewis took another bite of his chicken wing

He meant to show that if he could make exceptions, Arianna shouldn’t be held to such strict rules ther

“Don’t worry so much. It’s just food, there’s no need to be overly strict about it

Doris couldn’t argue against Lewis. “Mr. Hartman, you spoil her too much. She’s going to be completely pampered

“And what’s wrong with that? Ari should be treated like a little princess, Lewis said with a smile, looking at Arianna. “If she’s spoiled, I can handle it.”

Doris looked at Lewis‘ doting smile toward Arianna and thought, “This man, who always seems so distant, must truly like Arianna from the bottom of his heart.

If he ever has a daughter of his own, he’s definitely going to dote on her endlessly. A man like him will be an amazing father someday

“We can’t just let a kid watch us eat. Are you really going to be that cruel to Ari? Lewis said while eating another French fry.

He was doing it on purpose, and Doris knew she had no way out.

“Fine, just this once.” Doris finally relented.

“Ari, hurry up and thank Doris,” Lewis reminded her.

Arianna, being the little smart cookie she was, immediately said sweetly, “Thank you, Doris, and Lewis.”

Taking the burger, Arianna ate with satisfaction, as if it were the most delicious food in the world.

Lewis nudged Doris lightly with his elbow. “Don’t you think Ari’s smile is beautiful? The more she smiles, the less shadow there is in her heart.”

“I know,” Doris said, understanding his meaning.

After the amusement park, they headed to the aquarium, where they watched clumsy penguins, silly polar bears… and a breathtaking beluga whale show.

They spent the entire afternoon there and ran out of time to visit the zoo.

Lewis promised Arianna they would take her there next time.
