"There is no need to bribe me," was Raelle's response. "Didn't I say I acknowledge you already?"

"No," replied Raelle.

"Then?" he raised his brow at her and shook his head. "It's just that you came to my house for the first time. I don't want you to leave just like that. Let me cook something for you. Besides, since you acknowledged me, you're my niece too. I should take care of my niece as the elder here."

"If you insist," commented Raelle.
