Chapter 249

Grace was just chilling on the side when she saw Theresa suddenly bolt towards the road like a bat out of hell, scaring the living daylights out of her. Grace's face went ghost white and she hightailed it over, hollering as she ran, "Theresa, stop!"

But Theresa, usually obedient, acted as if she was deaf to the world and sprinted even harder.

Brandon hopped out of his ride and flashed Grace the universal "hold up" sign as he went to intercept Theresa. He squatted in front of the incoming missile and caught her in his arms.

Theresa threw herself into Brandon's embrace, her chubby little arms latching onto his neck like there was no tomorrow, chirping and buzzing with excitement.

Brandon couldn't help but catch the excitement bug from her. He scooped her up and asked with a softened tone, "Did you have a blast with Grace today?"
