Chapter 257 A New Year’s Wish

Sloane’s eyes crinkled into little crescent moons as she laughed, unable to hide the joy spreading across her face. She grabbed another piece of the crispy sesame leaf and popped it into her mouth, cheeks puffed like a chipmunk. “So good… so, so good!”

Lucas watched her with a fond smile and reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. “Just a little Snack and I’ve already won you over?”

Sloane swallowed her bite and nodded earnestly. “You don’t get it-I’ve never had a New Year’s Eve like this, No one’s ever made food just for me before.”

Lucas felt a pang in his chest, thinking about everything she’d been through. “From now on, every year, I’ll have Molly come up with something new and delicious just for you.”

“Deal.” Sloane beamed, not even hesitating.

Lucas’s eyes lit up in surprise. He was just about to say more.when Sloane stuffed another piece of sesame leaf into his mouth..

Lucas looked at her mischievous face, his voice gentle with affection. “I’m the one who stole them. It’s not your fault.”
