"Alina, when did you come back?".
"Hey sis… I came back a few minutes ago and wanted to show this naughty one to you and Mom but she jumped out of my hand and ran away" Alina answered still taking deep breaths trying to calm her racing heart from all the running.
Looking at her state Alisha just laughed lightly and turned towards Lea as she placed her hand on Alina's shoulders,
"She is my younger sister Alina"
"Nice to meet you, Alina. I am Leona" Lea said with a beautiful smile as she extended her hand for a handshake.
Alina looked up at Lea and shook her hand as there was a flash of excitement in her hazel-colored eyes and a small blush crept up her cheek.
"Hello, beautiful sister. It's nice meeting you".
Lea laughed lightly looking at the young girl and then bent down lightly to hand the puppy back to the girl
"This is a cute puppy you have there"
The puppy bark happily in Alina's arms listening to the praise.
"Isn't she beautiful sister… her coat is so soft" Alina spoke enthusiastically then pointed to the collar and said, "I designed it myself, is it nice?".
"Yes, it is very nice" Lea answered with a smile on her face.
At this moment Alisha chimed in "Don't go by her innocent face Lea, she is one naughty prankster who always drives me and Mom crazy".
Alina raised her head towards her sister with a look of being wronged on her face and angrily said "Big sis don't slander me".
"What am I speaking something wrong?"
"Yes, you are… when have I ever troubled anyone for no reason?"
"Ho… then what about the time when you spilled that hot glue on Kira's hair due to which she had to chop her long hair?"
"That was by mistake…" Alina answered as she lowered her head.
"Really?..." Alisha asked staring at her sister's bent head intently.
Not being able to take the pressure of her sister's stare Alina spoke up "Fine… I did it to save you"
This time Alisha was confused by her answer "For me?"
"Yes, that evil b*tch had…"
"Language Alina," Alisha said angrily.
"Sorry… that Kira had planned to spill the hot glue on your head to take her revenge, as you scolded her for treating the maid badly the other day".
"It's good I heard her plan before she could execute it, so I came up with an excuse and sent you in the other direction and reversed her plan on herself".
"And should be happy that I did not pour it on her scalp like her plan for you and just poured it at the edges of her hair," Alina said with a proud expression.
"Why did you not tell this before when mom asked?"
"Without proper evidence, will she believe me?"
Alisha sighed listening to her sister's words as what she said was true.
At this moment Liam spoke breaking the awkward atmosphere "Okay, enough of this serious discussion"
