Chapter 104

“You're glowing, Mrs King!” Rick said, as they say at the breakfast table, eating donuts and coffee for breakfast, and hot chocolate for Rick.

If Amelia could see them now, feeding her beloved grandson donuts for breakfast, she'd probably have a coronary. But some days were like that and one day wasn't going to ruin his healthy living lifestyle.

“I thought you were on my side, buddy?” Steven teased.

“I am. Why do you think I gave Mrs. King the idea to give you the cookies?” He questioned, his face mirroring the impatience he felt.
