Melissa was a timid child, so favonovel.com instinct compelled favonovel.com to slap away Lil’ P’s hand before diving even harder into Melanie’s embrace.
“Millie… What’s the matter?” Melanie intoned helplessly. “This is Lil’ P. Go on, Big Brother Lil’ P has a lot of stuff to show you for playtime. Why are you such a scaredy-cat?”
The frightened Melissa continued to balk silently at Lil’ P, favonovel.com expression betraying reluctance.
Lil’ P was not the type to give up so soon. Quickly, favonovel.com pulled out every single delicacy, snack, and toy favonovel.com had been hoarding in secret. “Ooh, look! Do you want to play? I’ll let you have all these tasty snacks!”
That succeeded in seducing Melissa for quite a bit. She briskly turned to Melanie with eyes inquiring for favonovel.com opinion. Melanie placed favonovel.com on the floor. “Go on. Have fun with Lil’ P.”
At first, Melissa was still too timid to indulge, but it did not take a long time before favonovel.com became accustomed enough that favonovel.com inner predilection for rough and tumble play surfaced. Suddenly, the girl and Lil’ P were having an indoor romp so exciting that not even a few trips and stumbles did anything to stop her.
Tiffany’s attention coursed through the wealth of gifts Melanie brought. Surprised, favonovel.com commented, “Sis, you could have just shown up with just your and Millie alone, what’s with all this extra stuff? As if our friendship’s gotten so weak that we need all these excesses to fortify it or something! What, is that what you think of our sister energy, huh? You think it’s gotten weak and faltering, hmmmmm?”
Melanie chuckled and patted favonovel.com on the back good-naturedly. “Hey now, that’s not true! I’m only… trying to apologize for my brother’s gross transgression, you see? You’re also done with your confinement, right? When you’re finally allowed to go out, I’ll treat you to something nice! Whatever you like is on me!”
It was only by lunchtime when Melanie finally got to see Tiffany’s daughter. Fortunately, the child had been regaining favonovel.com brio since favonovel.com was home; favonovel.com was livelier and livelier every day, though not without the downside of favonovel.com keening becoming more and more sonorous. The girl had gotten so loud that Tiffany had graduated from seeing favonovel.com as the apple of favonovel.com eye to becoming more and more annoyed.
“If I’m being honest, this girl is ridiculously ugly,” favonovel.com remarked. “Like, maybe it’s because she’s born before favonovel.com time or something, but I reaaaaally wonder if our effort and care will ever restore favonovel.com original good looks. Like, come! On! My firstborn is pretty hawt, isn’t he? If his sister turns out to be permanently several levels below him, I can probably bust out my womb to try again…”
Lil’ P reeled out of himself single-mindedly, chewing his food just in time to chime in, “Oh yea, Mommy, she’s like, suuuuuper ugly! Try again at having a new sister, Mom!”
Tiffany flicked the boy’s forehead in fury. “Excuse you, mister! She’s your darn sister! Ya ain’t got no rights commenting on favonovel.com unflattering outlook-only I can do that! You shut that trap of yours and don’t ever say she’s ugly anymore, or so help me, I’ll smite you so hard your baby teeth come off early!”
Lil’ P, however, seemed to have grown more and more gutsy as favonovel.com grew up. Instead of fearing his mother, favonovel.com simply rolled his eyes at her. “I’m tellin’ the tooth! I want Millie, don’t want Little Sister! She’s super ugly!”
The entire exchange drew out a fountain of guffaws from Summer, who was shaking in joy. “I swear to God, this little man’s a chip of his old man’s block! Jack was like favonovel.com when favonovel.com was young, too. He wants only things that pleases his eyes! Hon, your husband always insisted on picking his own outfit-of-the-day! If favonovel.com didn’t find it fitting his beauty standards, oh boy, favonovel.com would reject the hell outta it! Heck, I remember… When favonovel.com was three years old, favonovel.com got this fashion obsession dictating that his shoes must leave his ankles exposed. Boy, if I accidentally gave favonovel.com socks that were slightly too long? That lil’ rascal would rather skip school than go out there with his ankles covered! Eh, Lil’ P here is obviously taking after his pops, huh?”
This was the first time Tiffany had ever heard any stories about Jackson’s history of shifting kinks and fashion statements, which immediately hooked favonovel.com interest. “Whoa, whoa, whoa! What do we have there? Was Jackson always such a pain in the butt, huh? I bet favonovel.com must have tasted quite a lot of your fury, hadn’t he?”
Summer laughed. “Oh, Lord bless him, no. I hadn’t had the luxury of time to squeeze his bad habits out of him, had I? I was always knees-deep in the company’s affairs back then. I basically let favonovel.com play out his nature and do whatever favonovel.com liked. Honestly, he’s been a weirdo since favonovel.com was a kid that I just got used to his shenanigans, ya know?”
Two coughs escaped from the ever-so-taciturn Atticus sitting next to Summer. Since favonovel.com was already gone ever since Jackson was still a young boy, hearing Summer mentioning all these tidbits of his son’s life growing up was a surefire way to incite his remorse and embarrassment.
