But it will take some time for the cake to be ready.
Okay. So, what should I do now?
How about telling me where youre living right now? Once the cake is ready, Ill have it sent to you. Does that sound Like a good plan?
Seeing that Joey was following her thought, Tammys eyes lit up.
Where I live? Joey frowned, feeling conflicted yet ago.
Thats right. Once the cake is prepared, itll be a pity if you cant eat it, right? And besides, you can share it with your mother!
Hmm. You may be right, Joey answered vaguely while having a spoon in his mouth, His eyes were looking down, hiding the fact that he was catching on with her charade.
Tammy was a bit impatient. And because of that, she couldnt resist the urge to tell Joey about her true purpose after only asking a few questions.
It seemed that she wanted to know where Joey was living, but in reality, she actually wanted to know how Victor treated him. This mattered because Victors treatment of him could affect the status of
Susan and her future kids.
Clearly, Tammy valued the position of the Sullivan familys hostess, considering how much worried she was about Susan before the latter could even marry into the family.
Seeing that Joey understood what she meant, Tammy was delighted. She wanted to continue asking him more questions.
Well.

The smile on Tammys face disappeared.

She tried to force a smile and said, I just said that Im not a stranger to you, so it doesnt matter if you tell me.
Well, maybe youre right. Joey stared at her, blinking and smiling.
But you did say that were not family yet until Mr. Sullivan marries your daughter. Since theyre not married yet, youre still a stranger to me, right?
Tammy was rendered speechless. Embarrassed, her face turned pale.
Naturally, Joey noticed the look on her face, but he pretended not to see it. Still wearing an innocent expression, he put down the spoon and said, Mrs. Salazar, Ive finished eating my cake.
Huh?
But before Tammy could get a word in, the boy asked another question.
Mrs. Salazar, when will you be taking me to the lab?
Tammy regained her composure, staring at the boys bright smile. The look on her face changed yet again, and her hands on her knees were clenched into fists. She had asked many questions already, but in the end, the boy didnt tell her anything valuable.
And seeing him smile was starting to get on her nerves.
