"Alright, Mrs. Alvarez, then I'll graciously accept your invitation. Sorry for the trouble," Celine said.
Adam extended his arms. "Bella, letcarry you."
Celine refused. "No need to trouble Mr. Alvarez. | can carry my own daughter."
Bella glanced at Celine, then turned to Adam. "But Mommy, | want Mr. Handsto carry me."
Celine sighed. After three years of raising Bella, it was unbelievable that she had suddenly turned against her.
At this moment, Adam picked up Bella, who giggled. "Bella is grown up now and heavier. | didn't want Mommy to
tire of holding me, so | asked Mr. Handsto carry me. Mommy, | love you."
Celine was caught off guard once again. Her quick-witted daughter had effortlessly won her over.

the sthing again? At least cup with something new."
