Chapter 101

  Araceli POV

  It didn't take long for dinner to be ready.

  Raphael sat at the main table.

  "Ms. Chancey, your cooking is getting better and better! This is so delicious!"

  Essel excitedly ate the mashed potatoes I made.

  Micah put a piece of steak in his mouth and took a small bite.

  I looked at him and saw a surprise look in his eyes.

  Raphael held out the tickets to the painting show and looked to Valeria, who was sitting to his right.

  "Valeria, are you free on Sunday afternoon? I'd like to take you to see the painting exhibition."

  Valeria froze for a moment and looked at me with some excitement.

  I took the tickets and Valeria immediately said happily, "I want to go!"

  Essel also said happily, "Daddy, are we going to the show with Ms. Chancey's family? I'm so excited!"

  I said calmly, "Krish, do you want to come with us?"

  Krish nodded his head.
