Broderick didn't say a word. Leslie asked a few times before giving up-then finally caught a barely audible "mm" from him.
Realizing what it meant, she lit up and threw herself at him, hugging his neck tight and planting a loud smooch on his cheek.
"Ricky, love you!"
Just then, the kitchen auntie was coming out with a tray, caught sight of the scene, and instantly turned red. She neither dared enter nor walk away.
Thankfully, Leslie just gave him a quick peck before settling back in her seat.
After breakfast, Broderick headed out to the office.
Leslie was about to leave for school when her phone rang. It was a call from Vivian.
A cold little smirk tugged at Leslie's lips.
Wow, Vivian really held back longer than expected-just now calling?
If she'd stayed quiet
