Unless

Ann raised his hand and held the pottery doll between the two of them.

When his thin lips felt the cool touch of the porcelain, Phillip frowned and looked at Ann with dissatisfaction.

Ann looked embarrassed and pointed to the children who were staring at them.

When Phillip turned around with narrowed eyes, Carson was the first to react.

'Oh, Daddy wants to kiss Miss Ann!'

He quickly raised his little hands to cover his eyes. Jackson saw his brother covering his eyes and frowned for a moment.

He reached out a hand to cover Nikki's eyes as well as his own.

Ann was lost for words.

When Ann saw the children covering their eyes, her embarrassment dissipated and she found it funny.

Phillip looked at his children with admiration and then look at Ann.

"Shall we continue?"

Ann was speechless. She gently pushed Phillip and said shyly, "Let go of me. The food is ready. I'll go and bring it up."

Phillip chuckled and let go of Ann.
