The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 123

I leaned closer to Willow and took a bite, playing along. Upon meeting her eager gaze, I exaggerated my reaction and said, "Wow, this is so delicious!" Willow was satisfied with my performance. "Isn't it?"

She said this and was about to continue eating.

Zane pretended to be jealous and said, "You're only giving it to Mommy and not me?"

Willow quickly took the shrimp she had almost eaten and offered it to Zane instead.

She said seriously, "I'm just helping you blow on it so it won't be too hot for you."

Zane pretended not to notice her real thoughts. "Thank you, Willow."

There were a lot of snacks, but the portions were small. They were just enough for the three of us.

Willow patted her full belly, happily saying, "Good thing I listened to Daddy, or I wouldn't have been able to finish them all!"

Zane chuckled at Willow's little grown-up act and said, "Let's go for a walk."

Otherwise, she might upset her stomach since she ate a little too much today. It would also be uncomfortable for her to sleep later.
