'Why?' Penny asked with a frown. 'I want to play with you.'
The little girl had been planning all evening and morning before she decided what kind of game she wanted to play with her friend, but now Asher was telling her that he didn't want to play with her?
It not only angered her but also made her upset.
Why would he refuse to play with her and yet play with the daughter of a maid?
'I just don't want to,' Asher turned and looked at Penny with a frown on his face. 'Is there a law that states that I have to play with you every day? I have a new friend and I want to play with her today.'
As he spoke, he turned and smiled at the young girl, who smiled back tentatively.
Seeing the two smile at one another, Penny was annoyed.
Asher was her friend! Why would he play with anyone else but her?
