Chapter 18: Another Crisis

"Okay, it's nice to meet you, Mr. Owen," Anita replied mischievously while holding Owen's hand.

Anita didn't understand. "Mom, what's wrong? Is Daddy not feeling well?"

"No, you dad is recovering very well. It's just that… Do you still remember the fried chicken shop?" her mother said softly.
