Xante did not stop what she was doing. After peeling the last of the apple’s skin, she cut them into little wedges and fed them to Corinne.

“It’s okay. I know how to take care of Corinne since I took care of her in times like this before you two met.”

Annie blinked. She could not help but feel something was off when she saw Xante gently feeding Corinne the apple slices.

Just when Annie was trying to figure out the relationship between Corinne and Xante, Francine—never the one to keep what she was thinking to herself—said, “My brother really has his work cut out for him.
