âFine, I wonât take any of them.
You can keep them,â she said, visibly annoyed, her cheeks flushed with anger.
Sonny couldnât help but smile at her vexation.
He playfully tugged at her waist and quipped, âEven this dress youâre wearing was paid for by meâ¦â
Luisa turned to face him, her expression one of disbelief.
She had not expected him to be so audacious.
âSonny, thatâs crossing the line!â
Her anger was palpable; her eyes reddened, yet her voice remained gentle, and her attire lent her an unintended allure.
Her fierce look was more poignant than threatening, making her seem deeply aggrieved.
Realizing his jest had gone too far, Sonny took her hand softly and reassured her with a smile, âListen, you donât need to rush off and pack tonight.
Iâve taken care of all urgent matters at work.
Iâll spend the entire day with you tomorrow, alright?â
Luisa, momentarily stunned, then pouted.
âReally? Youâll stay with me the whole day?â
With a serious nod, Sonny caressed her face gently.
âFrom sunrise until midnight, Iâll be right by your side.
â
âThen Iâll figure out where we can go and have a good time.
â Luisaâs voice bubbled with excitement.
Sonny nodded calmly.
âItâs your choice.
Pick any place you like.

In the morning, after Kyson finished planning his dayâs work, he made his way to N&L Fairy Land.
As the godfather to the twins, he brought some small gifts.
Had Nathan and Lucinda been there, he would have selected two toys, each a different color, for the babies.
However, since Nathan and Lucinda were absent, he purchased a large bag of gifts solely for Destinee, leaving nothing for Colby.
Even Zenia found it hard to watch as he doted on Destinee.
âMr.
Shaw, you have bought so many gifts for Destinee.
Sheâs so lucky, but Iâm concerned she has too many toys.
Perhaps some could be given to Colby?â she suggested.
Kyson dismissed the idea without a second thought.
âThese gifts are for Destinee.
She never fusses, eats well, and is always energetic.
â
He glanced at Colby, who was in the crib beside them.
âColby hasnât been behaving as well.
He doesnât drink his milk like his sister does.
If this continues, heâll soon weigh less than she does.
Not receiving gifts is a minor punishment for him.
â
Zenia was taken aback.
âMr.
Shaw, Colby is only a few months old.
He doesnât understand your words.
Whatâs the purpose of this punishment?â
Kyson, wanting to change the subject, asked, âHow did they do with their milk this morning?â
Zenia pulled out a record book.
âColby drank less than yesterday morning, while Destinee maintained her usual good appetite.
â
Kyson frowned and looked at the sleeping Colby.
