Swallowing the salty tea in his mouth, Lucas Walker glanced at Ivana Bennett, who was looking back at him with a grin and a playful lifting of her eyebrows.
The meaning in her gaze was clear — Serves you right!
"Mr. Walker, how is the tea?" Summer Gardner asked cheerfully from the side.
Lucas Walker cleared his throat lightly, "It's...special."
Summer took this as a sign of his liking and enthusiastically shared, "When I first went south to perform, an old tea master told me that for this tea, you need to take three big sips to experience its lingering fragrance. You should try it."
Just as expected from her mother, always pushing the limits.
Ha!
Ivana Bennett chuckled inside, her eyes gleaming with mischief as they watched Lucas Walker.
"Mr. Walker, remember to take big sips!"
You little brat. I can't wait to see how you handle this!
Picking up his cup and sneaking a glance at Ivana, Lucas Walker took the cup to his lips and took a big sip, then swallowed it down.
