“Ha-ha.”
A burst of sudden laughter rang out before James and Tammy could react.
The laughter was brief but incredibly loud in the large meeting room.

He was unfazed by the increased attention.

“You know nothing about tea, do you?”

“I just remembered that my friend giftedseveral sets of boy’s clothes a few days ago.
Those clothes are meant for Susan’s future child,” Tammy gently said.
