Chapter 48

  Araceli POV

  Ten minutes later, I was downstairs with Essel in my arms.

  "Krish, Essel wants to wear your T-shirt. Do you mind?"

  Krish nodded and said, "Essel, this shirt suits you. Consider it my apology gift to you."

  Essel turned her head away and wrapped her arms around her chest, still looking like she didn't want to talk to Krish.

  She had just told me when she was in the room that she didn't want to wear a dress. I gave her a couple of T-shirts to choose from. As it turned out, she picked one of Krish's favorite Marvel T-shirts. She said that "Ms. Marvel" was her favorite anime character because she wanted to be that strong of a woman too.

  After I told her it was Krish's shirt, she said she didn't want to wear Krish's shirt at all. However, if she didn't, she would have to be naked or wear Valeria's dress. In the end, she decided to wear the T-shirt.

  I stroked Essel's head.

  "Baby, Krish has apologized to you. So, what should you say to him?"
