Asher frowned. “It’s late. Are you going to exercise?”
“Yeah, Ash. I’m in a good mood, so I thought I should go kayaking around the back.” Bella looked up at him cheerfully.
“It’s dark out. What if you fall into the river? You’re not a strong. swimmer.”
Asher pinched her waist. “Don’t you know it’s nearly sub-zero outside? You’ll freeze in that outfit of yours.”
He turned to Steven. “Bella doesn’t have anyone else but you. Why can’t you do a better job watching over her?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Asher. It was my negligence.” Steven apologized.
“Enough, Ash. Don’t blame Steve. He reminded me, but I wouldn’t listen to him.”

“You won’t have a lot on your mind when you’re busy.”
“Tsk. I’m not that fragile. I’ve been eating and sleeping well. That incident didn’t leave a scratch on me.”
Bella pouted, her voice soft and sweet.
