"Stay for lunch," said Xia Zhao. "I'll treat you to a feast today."
"There is no need to bribe me," was Raelle's response. "Didn't I say I acknowledge you already?"
"Can you even be bribed with food?" asked Xia Zhao.
"No," replied Raelle.
"Then?" he raised his brow at her and shook his head. "It's just that you came to my house for the first time. I don't want you to leave just like that. Let me cook something for you. Besides, since you acknowledged me, you're my niece too. I should take care of my niece as the elder here."
"If you insist," commented Raelle.
As he went to the kitchen Raelle followed him from behind. He opened the door to the back garden and Raelle found that there was a whole vegetable field there. She looked at the cute tomatoes hanging from the plants. They looked so red and juicy.
"You have strange hobbies," said Raelle.
Xia Zhao looked up at her, "Is that so?"
