“Please, what do you want? Half of everything I own. Whatever you want. Name it. I will give it to you. Don’t make her ban me from attending the christening ceremony of my godson. I might just die,” he added, with a theatrically comic look on his face.

Reyona couldn’t hold on to her laughter anymore.
