Chapter 40: Invitation

Phew!! Now I can eat with peace!!" Aaron said with a grin exposing his sharp canine. He immediately begun to eat while Maria followed suit while shaking her head helplessly.

Has that dog come to find you again?" He asked.

Language, Aaron." Maria reprimanded him.

Isn't he?" He asked his head cocked to the side innocently.

Let's eat. I still have work to finish up." Maria concentrated on her food completely ignoring Aaron.

I plan to pick up the children from school. We'll go home so you don't have to worry yourself much." He said after driving Maria back to her office.

Okay then. Tell them not to wait for me as I might delay."

Make sure to call lest they think I made this up." Aaron said as he sped off.
