“It’s alright. I’ve come to see Grace as my own sister,” Hannah said, patting Grace’s head with affection.
Grace looked up at Hannah, a smile touching her lips.
“I feel the same way about you.”
Melina teased, glancing at Grace, “Seems like you’ve forgotten about me with a new sister in the picture. Maybe next time I bring treats, I’ll only give them to your brother Grace replied adorably, “You’re my sister too, Melina. Don’t you dare stop bringing me yummy treats!”

Supporting his invitation, Melina chimed in, “It would be nice to have dinner together. Thanks for coming by today.”
Hannah hesitated, but Grace’s gentle voice rang out, “Please stay, Hannah. Dine with us.”
“Alright.” Hannah relented, settling down next to Grace.

“Let’s leave business for work hours.”
With a resigned smile, Melina shared, “My father wants to see you at the Glyn family home this weekend. You can’t dodge him again. I’d be in a tight spot.”
“Understood.”
As the two conversed, Hannah found herself drifting into boredom, opting to busy herself with her phone.
Bryson’s attention inadvertently drifted towards Hannah, a smile forming as he observed her subtle expressions.
