Penny didn't mean to eat the last bag of chocolate in the fridge last night. However, resolving an issue for over an hour while standing up and with her arms over the desk that was almost above her chest was tiring. She could still feel her arms ache.

Did he just try to lift her like a baby? Even Jessa complained when Penny had to sit on Jessa's lap for hours on her mahjong nights. She was only three at that time. "Hehe. Yeah, I'm okay." Haines smiled proudly,

although he felt like he mildly sprained his wrist. He was so happy he thought he could he could lift her like a baby.

"Haines?" Charles called because Haines seemed

overjoyed instead of miffed. "What's going on?"

This time, Haines couldn't help but beam.

"She did it, Charles!"

"Did what?"
