LEE ROMANO HAS A SON?!

I can't believe this. Oh, maybe not.

But still...

Couldn't he have just said he has a son?!

Or maybe he was about to tell me that.

Stop making excuses Liana!

As I was still in my thoughts, I felt a small hand tightly hold the side of my long dress.

It was the little boy.

He can't be annoying like his dad, right?

I bent down to meet his gaze.

Me: Hi.

Boy: Hello.

Me: Are you from school?

Boy: School?

Of course school!

Boy: I am from handling business.

Me: For a young man like yourself, that's commendable.

Boy: You got it right. Now who are you?

Is this boy interrogating me?

Me: I am---

Lee: Liana. She is my fiancée.

Boy walked up to Lee and looked at him.

Boy: You didn't tell me about her!

Lee: I am sorry. We were busy and I forgot to tell you.

Lee bent down as the little boy wanted to whisper to him about something.

As known, a child's whisper can be heard from afar.

Boy: (whispering) Daddy, she smells like cupcakes.

Like a cupcake? Should I take that as a compliment?

Me: You don't like cupcakes?

Lee: He means that you smell good... just in his own way.

Me: Oh, that's a relief.

Lee picked him up once more and walked up to me.

Me: I am Liana. What is your name?

I pulled my hand for a handshake.

Boy: My name is Liam Romano.

He shook my hand.

His little hands are cute and small, just like when Ziana was at his age.

Me: (smiling) Nice to meet you, Liam.

Liam: Same.

He really is a small talker for his age.

Lee: I will take him to his room and I will be right back.
