Chapter 344:

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?”

“I’m not very familiar with the Garrison family that Julio’s fiancée is from,” she said, diverting the conversation again. She looked at Bryan, curiosity in her gaze. “Do you know anything about them?”
