“Sister, are you here for something?” Abby asked anxiously, glancing toward the stairs. She was eager to stop Evan from eating more chili peppers but still turned her attention to Adalee.
Adalee raised an eyebrow. “Of course, I’m here for work. But it’s going to take some time. So, what’s it going to be—handle work with me first, or go downstairs and save Evan from the chili peppers?”
Abby hesitated briefly before making her choice. “I’ll stop Evan first.”
