Alfie said to Diana, "Diana, you sit here. I'll hold you." Ivan then helped Diana sit on the chair.
"Thanks, daddy." Diana looked very sweet in her Lolita dress.

"Daddy, | want candies." Diana looked up at Ivan with her puppy dog eyes, "Could you buy us some?" Alfie added, "Daddy said he could get us stars if we want. So of course he'll get us candies, right?

Rowan heaved a sigh, "I have no idea what are you two doing right now. You guys should really have a talk." "Took them that long to have lunch? He can't even eat with his poor stomach!" Jennifer snapped, gnashing her teeth.

"What are you two whispering about?" A deep voice cfrom behind, which shocked Jennifer but she didn't turn around.
