Josue’s eyes sparkled with both pride and playful teasing as he joked, “I doubt you could have a daughter as adorable as my goddaughter. She’s the ultimate in cuteness—absolutely stunning, so precious, and her sweet little coo could melt even the toughest hearts!”

“Do you really think he couldn’t have a baby that adorable?” Eileen asked, rolling her eyes as she caught on to Josue’s increasing sarcasm.

Seeing Bryan’s expression darken instantly, she realized she needed to stop Josue’s risky teasing. She quickly changed the subject. “So, about Julio’s engagement party—are you going?”
