"MUM, come on! Don't pressure Shari. We are not even dating officially." Levi stared at her mother after sipping red wine.
"Dating officially? Really? I don't think so. You kept blabbering about her like a broken record." Lalaine silently chewed a piece of medium-rare steak.
Shari suppressed her giggle when she saw Levi's ears turn red.
"Don't believe her." Levi glanced at Shari.
Lalaine rolled her eyes. "You guys are at the right age. What's wrong with that? I'm getting old. I want a grandchild. Hmm," she paused, thinking something, "If it's a baby girl… let's name her Visha. It's a combination of your names. Isn't it cute?"
"Mum!" Levi was so shocked.
This time around, Shari coughed several times.
"I-I'm sorry," she said after regaining her composure.
Lalaine laughed aloud. "I'm just kidding. Having a proper mindset about these things would help you set your future together."
"Mum, please don't scare Shari like that."
